Countries.dat file THIS
FILE MUST BE DOWNLOADED Author: Bones Last update: 28 Aug 2010 |
The flag sets above will not display in BaseStation unless this updated Countries.dat file is installed. The DAT file is a separate zip because it is undergoes frequent revision/update. It contains all known country and military Mode S allocations to date. This file is updated as new information is discovered - usually quarterly. |

These are three variations on the above file sets. Sets 1 or 2 must already be installed - these new sets just overwrite the originals.

To
display the logos you must install a set of bitmaps in the OperatorFlags
folder. To
trigger the bitmap you must edit the aircraft record by adding the
ICAO Operator code (like BAW for British Airways) in the OprFlagCode
field - or use a utility like SBSPopulate to do this automatically. |

Size 85 x 20 This is a starter set of just over 1300 logos for use with the new BaseStation 1.1.1.130 software. It contains most of the frequently seen operators within Europe whether airlines, executive aircraft, business aircraft or even flying club - provided they use an approved ICAO Operator code. In addition a full set of worldwide military logos are provided. Author: Bones Last update: 14 Aug 2010

Size 85 x 20 Jack Ford has provided an alternative logo set which features the airline logo plus the aircraft tail colours. Jack's logo set is extensive and covers many operators who do not have an ICAO code, airline livery variations and military squadrons/units. Author: Jack Ford Website : SBS-1 Operator Logos by Jack

85 x 20 Ian has provided a large set (and still growing) of aircraft silhouettes to complement the logo sets from myself and Jack Ford. The aircraft silhouettes were originally provided to show bitmaps for light aircraft which would never have an operator logo but demand has seen Ian extend coverage to encompass many more military and civil aircraft.

75 x 22 Mark has created a 75 x 22 set of logos which may be more suitable for users with limited screen space. Mark's logos are "borderless" in that the background colour blends into the SBS display to reduce the boxy appearance of the logos. The collection also includes a full set of military roundels. Mark has also produced a set of borderless country flags to complement the logo collection. Author: Mark Coles Website: Mark Coles Logo Collection

60 x 22 Andrew has provided a much smaller form factor of 60 x 22 for his logo set and the illustration below shows that small doesn't mean any loss in presentation or detail. Ideal for users with laptops or small monitors - or users who find the larger sets too obtrusive. Author: Andrew Hay Website: SBSFlags
