Add Virtual Radar Server support #29

Closed wiseman closed 6 years ago

wiseman commented 6 years ago

This set of commits adds support for switching between multiple backends, and adds support for Virtual Radar Server to the existing support for dump1090.

The [dump1090] config variables map_url, data_url and request_timeout were moved to the [abovetustin] section. An additional config variable, driver, was added, which can be set to dump1090 or virtualradarserver.

Here's a screenshot of a tweet that uses Virtual Radar Sever:

This looks great! I like the features provided by the virtual Radar Server. I'll have to get it up and running on my own rig. Thanks for your work
