Modifying SkyView

[TylerTCF]

Has anyone modified SkyView? I’d like to look at the code so that I can limit my view to only certain aircraft types (i.e. every Cessna 182 or Cirrus SR22). Has anyone done this before? Clearly SkyView knows something about the type of aircraft as the icons for GA, Helicopters, and Heavies are all different. I’d love to just look at GA with a filter! Thanks in advance.

Skyview is open source. You can fork the code if you wish to customize it. GitHub - flightaware/dump1090: Dump1090 is a simple Mode S decoder for RTLSDR devices

Thanks. I figured someone may have some pointers to expedite my coding time. It seems like this would be an easy filter to add.

Here’s a topic on custom aircraft icons. One way would be to just set all aircraft you don’t want to view as invisible and then only your preferred aircraft show

Customizing aircraft icons in PiAware3

Hi, I have been looking at how the icons are drawn in PiAware3 with the view to see if I can customize them (I am a bit OCD and all the “Heavies” having four engines bugs me a wee bit ). This is what I have found. The files used are found in /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html. There seem to me two main files involved, the first is the markers.js file which is responsible for the design and classification of the actual icons, and the second is planeObject.js In the planeObject.js file the…

Thanks so much! I’m going to give that a go!
