[NEW FEATURE] how to obtain callsign #25

Open ggoodloff opened 1 year ago

ggoodloff commented 1 year ago

It's there a way to obtain the Callsign based off the data retrieved from the mode-s query?

mrjackwills commented 1 year ago

Sadly not, it is basically a static database, so the CallSigns are not linked up the Aircraft's ModeS hex string.

It is a great feature to want to implement, but I think that it's quite far out of scope of the project at the moment.

ggoodloff commented 1 year ago

I understand, I loaded the Opensky .csv into a mysql database on my network I pull from. I just get trustee owners instead of the actual airlines, hence why I was trying to get the Callsign from a hex query.

Somewhere down the road.

Thanks for all your hard work.

ah, can you give me an example, and I'll take a look

ggoodloff commented 1 year ago

A61fa4 from yours is great: registered_owner":"Hawaiian Airlines

From the Opensky database I have locally: Bcc Equipment Leasing Corp

I'm gonna work on implementing your API into my program, I do have times where it's a high traffic area that would query the API over the limit I think.

Thanks, according to the search via the FAA, the owner is indeed Bcc Equipment Leasing Corp, whereas planespotters suggests that it's owned by Hawaiian Airlines.

I'm not knowledgeable to know which one adsbdb should use.

Also, the Opensky.csv data looks good, I think I had been made aware of it earlier, but should investigate it more

I was using another API for my spotter bots and they would crash because the API server would get to busy and crash.

I wish theirs showed like yours does though.

Thanks for all your hard work though
