Hello, since the depreciation of the data source that allowed airspace to be displayed in Virtual Radar Server (VRS), despite reading the Develop page at https://www.openaip.net/develop this doesn't clearly provide any guidance or step by step instructions on how to use the new source to display airspace in VRS. Does anyone have any guidance on this? Thanks.

Hi Nick,

I suppose you used WMS/TMS. Find the link to the Tiles API in the REST API Swagger docs. Direct Link.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Stephan

No luck yet but I have added the access URL and got the apiKey for access so the Layer file looks like this within VRS:
{
    "MapProvider": 0,
    "IsDefault": false,
    "DisplayOrder": 1,
    "IsCustom": false,
    "Name": "openAIP Custom Test",
    "Url": "https://api.tiles.openaip.net/api/data/airspaces/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
    "Subdomains": "12",
    "Version": null,
    "MinZoom": 4,
    "MaxZoom": 14,
    "ZoomOffset": null,
    "MinNativeZoom": null,
    "MaxNativeZoom": null,
    "ZoomReverse": false,
    "DetectRetina": true,
    "ClassName": null,
    "Attribution": "[a href=https://www.openaip.net]openAIP[/a]",
    "ErrorTileUrl": null,
    "IsTms": true,
    "IsLayer": true,
    "DefaultBrightness": 100,
    "DefaultOpacity": 70,
    "ExpandoOptions":
    [
      {
          "Option": "apiKey",
          "Value": "My Key here"
      }
    ]
  }

Is there anything I'm missing there?

Please see https://groups.google.com/g/openaip/c/sG8GlccNS6w for details on how to inject openaip TMS layers into VRS.
