Hi Tyke,
I am more than happy to take contributions to the database.
The normal information gets added to the database hex, registration, c/n and l/n if appropriate, owner/operator, operator ICAO code and ICAO TYPE CODE all as per this one I have just added. C02ED9,C-FRTG,37184/558,Boeing 787-9,Air Canada,ACA,B789. However if all that is known is the hex code or even the hex and registration, I can usually find the required details so I am happy to take whatever is available from contributors.
The database used by Radarbox24 is the Navdata for Radarboxes/Micro Radarboxes which is available for users of these receivers to download sometime during the early hours of the European morning. YR-BGJ has been added as follows 4A08EA,YR-BGJ,63701/6390,Boeing 737-800WL,TAROM,ROT,B738 and it will be in the Navdata available in the early hours of our morning around 0200 and the aircraft will show the details thereafter on Radarbox24
Note that we use the 800WL as per Boeing since they changed a few months back
Many thanks for your assistance
Alan
Good evening Alan.
My question was more regarding the website tracking page rather than the paid software/hardware. Eg.
https://www.radarbox24.com/data/registration/EI-FZA does not tell me anything about the frame other than it is a B738 under the 'aircraft' column. Do you not display the frame info such as hex, msn, full type, airline on the website tracking pages like FR24 does, eg.
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ei-fza ? It's not important to me personally but I just thought it was odd that there's no frame details anywhere that I can see.
I tried the ROT link again
https://www.radarbox24.com/data/registration/yr-bgj but it only says "Sorry but we don't have any information for your request". Is that to be expected if no box has picked up the hex yet or should there be some information showing there regardless? The problem this creates is you have no way of knowing if the frame is already listed in the database.
By the way, contrary to popular belief, Boeing still use the full 3 char designation interally on all types except the 787s and 737 Max's so you will find them listed correctly in my messages. If you wish to shorten them to generic types then that's entirely your choice!
I will round up all the recent new ones that have been seen pinging and post them later. :)
