Hi rzeldent,

Do you think it is possible to add flight information of the spotted airplane such as altitude and/or track, speed ? (Maybee below the aircraft registration and type)

Thanks

Might be a bit too crowded. However, information is available...

Take a look at branch: https://github.com/rzeldent/esp32-flightradar24-ttgo/tree/feature/add-alt-heading

A bit crowdy?! What do you think

FonceSlimane commented 3 years ago

Well done ! Actually yes it's a bit crowded for me. I made some minor changes in the file main.cpp but it spoils a little bit your work...sorry. First I tried a size of font between 16 and 26 without any success. So here are my changes, the first three lines are sized 26 and 16 after and I only removed the plain names of airports because of redundancy IMHO (IATA code, airport name, city name) And I made some simplification in the file airplanes.cpp (ex: AIRBUS 320 becomes A320 and so on)

tft.setTextFont(font_26pt); tft.println( flight_info.flight + " " + flight_info.from + ">" + flight_info.to);

tft.setTextFont(font_26pt); // was 16 tft.println(flight_info.registration + " - " + (airplane ? airplane->name : flight_info.type)); tft.println(String(flight_info.altitude) + "ft. " + String(flight_info.track) + "` " + String(flight_info.speed) + "kts");

tft.setCursor(0, tft.getCursorY() + 8); // was + 4 if (from != nullptr) { tft.setTextFont(font_16pt); // added //tft.println(from->name); // was uncommented auto cursor_x = tft.getCursorX(), cursor_y = tft.getCursorY(); tft.pushImage(cursor_x, cursor_y + flag_margin_y_px, from->flag->width, from->flag->height, from->flag->data); tft.setCursor(cursor_x + flag_width_px + flag_margin_x_px, cursor_y); tft.println(from->city + String(", ") + from->country); }

tft.setCursor(0, tft.getCursorY() + 2); if (to != nullptr) { //tft.println(to->name); // was uncommented auto cursor_x = tft.getCursorX(), cursor_y = tft.getCursorY(); tft.pushImage(cursor_x, cursor_y + flag_margin_y_px, to->flag->width, to->flag->height, to->flag->data); tft.setCursor(cursor_x + flag_width_px + flag_margin_x_px, cursor_y); tft.println(to->city + String(", ") + to->country); }

Thank you again for all you did. hartelijk bedankt

Thanks for your suggestions. I removed the airport name because, yes, I agree, the city and country should be sufficient. Additionally added the location of the aircraft. Take a look!

FonceSlimane commented 3 years ago

Perfect ! It's all clear.

Added some airline logo's so even nicer. Think this issue is resolved!
