Three demo Java web apps so far:
- Flight board. This is intended for virtual airlines - it can lookup current VATSIM flights by callsign prefix and display a board of those flights.
- Make an ICAO lookup on the Squawkbox airports file
- Lookup aircraft from the Squawkbox aircraft file by manufacturer, name or code
Note you will need a Java application server to run it. The easiest one to set up is Tomcat, available for download from Jakarta.
Once you've got Tomcat set up, download the demo war (~600KB) file and put it in the Tomcat webapps directory, then start Tomcat up. If Tomcat is running on your local machine, the URL will be http://localhost:8080/jatcwebapps
Click through the links until you find icaolookup.jsp and click on it.
But... on the miscellaneous front. I've started developing some non-Java Windows stuff that interacts directly with Flight Simulator - this will be bridged with Java eventually. The utils package contains a descent rate calculator - it can pick up your current distance from a navaid, altitude, speed etc and work out what descent rate you need to maintain to reach a given distance at a given altitude. Download from here (16KB). (Yep kilobytes - you need the VB runtimes to use it).
