Import static aircraft json

[ggoodloff]

It's there a way to import a static aircraft json file from an API and have it show a screenshot screen (frozen) of that information to use as a bot screen capture. I want to be able to utilize a properly formatted flight API JSON file to put a spotter bot in another area

Or is there a way to import this file into my readsb to see the flights in the map to fill in gaps I have in coverage where I am?

Located at https://api.adsb.lol/v2/all

Just don't run readsb. Just make the /run/readsab dir and place a receiver.json that is sanely formatted. Or make an tar1090 instance that uses a different /run dir.

Then place the aircraft.json

Thanks. I will definitely give that a shot

So I could never get the API data to load correctly, which is fine now because they are pushing their beast port to me.

Here's my problem now, using readsb - my tar1090 display is only a 450mile max.

Here's the kicker, on a separate system I'm using combine on, pulling from this 450mi machine, I get an entire globe of data.

I've been at this for about 6 hours going through ever file I can find that mentioned a range. I've reinstalled tar1090 and still just a 450mi range.

Figured out out. Need to set --max-range 99999

I just erased the option thinking it would eliminate it.

Thanks for your amazing programs!
