New functions added

  • Added feature to download and use OpenSky database to build aircraft database.
  • Added feature to build a complete aircraft database.
    • When using this option, all aircraft from the FAA, CCAR and OpenSky databases are included in VRS's database regardless of whether or not VRS has seen the aircraft in the past.
    • This allows VRS to be used offline and still have registration data for aircraft not yet seen.
    • It also ensures you have registration data for aircraft that have not yet been seen so you don't have to do an update to get their registration information.
    • If you have a previous version of the program installed, delete your settings.sqb file before using the new version.

.NET 6.0 is required and can be obtained here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

Download the binary appropriate for your setup below:

  • VRS.Database.Update.win-x64.exe for 64-bit Windows machines.
  • VRS.Database.Update.win-x86.exe for 32-bit Windows machines.

Click the "Choose working folder" button to select a folder on a speedy drive (e.g., an SSD). This is where the program will copy the databases to and work out of.

Click the "Choose VRS data folder" if the default location doesn't point to your VRS installation location. The program needs this location to find the local aircraft database.

The program creates a "settings.sqb" file in the same folder as the executable to hold the user's settings.

Use the "Rules.csv" file as an example to create your own rules to additionally modify the VRS database to suit your needs. Otherwise, the file isn't needed. See the README.md file for a complete explanation and to understand the file's' format.

You only need the "Sils.csv" file if you want to define your own mapping to ICAO type. Probably no one will need this. See the README.md file to understand the file's' format.
