Add option to log ALL flights #4

Closed tobiz closed 8 years ago

tobiz commented 8 years ago

An option is needed to log all flights from an airfield not just flights of aircraft registered at the airfield. This extends the original intent of the project but could be useful for several reasons.

Done. Code added but not fully tested as my 'local' OGN Rx seems to be down. However the initial consequence is that it is only possible to log glider only flights if "log all flights" is not selected; I'll look into this. Reason: the full OGN glider db is now used and this doesn't have a field for 'type of aircraft'. In addition since the full OGN db is now used (>4k records) I've added an index for searching the database by flarm id to resolve flarm id to aircraft registration.

Hi @tobiz,

The ogn-ddb does have a field aircraft_type, but it's hidden by default (for whatever reason), see ogn-ddb#url-parameters. e.g. https://ddb.glidernet.org/download?j=1&t=1.

Incidentally I recommend you to have a look at python-ogn-client, which provides an OGN/APRS-client and an ogn-ddb-client:

from ogn.ddb import get_ddb_devices
devices = list(get_ddb_devices())

Interesting, I'll take a look.
