7. Click "Save" in notepad to save the modified D008.dat file. Points to note here:
- the number of "-" characters is vital. Every Mode S Hex code (111010010000------------) MUST be 24
characters in length.
- make sure that you don't insert any blank lines or spaces when you are inserting the new lines.
- the D008.dat file MUST be saved as a txt file (so don't use Word or Wordpad any other program)
and it must be named D008.dat and NOT D008.dat.txt which might happen if you use "Save as".
Look at the file in Explorer to make sure the name is correct.
8. Right click on this image and choose "Copy" and paste it into your favorite graphics editor.
The picture must be saved as a bmp to the c:/Program Files/AirNav Systems/AirNav RadarBox 2009/
Data/Flags directory and must be named RA.BMP
Same again for this one, but this time it must be saved as UF.BMP
9. Close Notepad and run RadarBox. Wait for a Brit Mil or US Mil aircraft to be picked up either as live
or network traffic and you should see the Mil flag in the aircraft list if you have the Flags set to show
in Preferences.
Displaying Other Flags
Although this has only covered 2 new flags, the principle can be applied to display flags for any group
of aircraft, or for individual registrations. All you need is the Mode S Hex code, Windows Calculator to
convert the Hex code to a Binary code and a bmp saved in the /Flags directory.
See the AirNav Utilities Website for flag files.
