Devlog 5

This is a combination of previous work from a while ago and new work I just did, so please excuse the lengthy devlog time.

I decided to return to working on this project, and made a few changes. First, I migrated the api provider from airlabs to adsb.fi. I also used adsbdb for route info (departure and arrival). New features include location/flight search, which I will outline below.

Features

API Migrations

Data sources have been migrated from airlabs to adsb.fi and adsbdb, and as a result, this increases the maximum calls from around 1000 calls per month to 1 call per second, however the region is limited to a 250 nm radius.

I have also migrated away from using a python render script, so now the page will not take 1 minute to load and lag the entire pc.

Airports

Airport pins are now visible on the map and can be toggled alongside weather, night, and fir zones.

Location Search

You can now search directly for a location using the searchbar, which should help now that area is limited. You can also just choose to pick your current location.

Flight Search

You can now directly enter flight numbers/callsigns and be pointed straight to where said flight is on the map, no matter whether or not it is in the 250 nm radius.
