I have one working well and showing radar and traffic info screens nicely, connecting to both the t-beam and t-echo devices. BUT.... i'd love to get the OGN database downloaded and working. I followed the instructions from github but the databases at
https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/tree/master/software/data/Aircrafts look to be 4 years old. Does that seem right? Not being able to get an updated version I can't establish if the file is being opened/read and giving CN/Tail instead of the devices hex-code. Anyone have any advice?

I've modified the SkyView software in several important ways. Most
importantly, redesigned the traffic warnings. But also I have replaced
its use of an SQLITE database. Instead, it now uses the CDB data
format. Put the file ogn.cdb in the Aircrafts folder on the SD card. A
recent copy of ogn.cdb is in the software/data/Aircrafts folder. And an
up to date copy can be downloaded at any time from
http://soaringweather.no-ip.info/ADB/data - updated daily, I have no
idea who put that service up. At this time only the OGN data is
available in this format, not Flarmnet.
