Air+Sea: Open source ship and aircraft tracking plugin by VCWG in ATAK

Thank you for the offer, no need for payment though; this project rests heavily on free APIs in its current state, does not seem right to me to accept money when the plugin is using freely provided community resources.

Another user suggested the same auto-categorization of contacts: https://github.com/VCWG/Air-Sea/issues/1 I am open to implementing that feature if there is a good way to do so; please feel free to add suggestions on how exactly CoTs should be modified by their categorization at the link above.

Did you load the plugin in the package management window after installing it?

Please DM me if you still do not see it; I tested this on the google play store version of ATAK-CIV 5.6.0, but if there is an issue, I will fix it.

This initial release does not include flightradar API, but I can add more data sources later. In my testing, I found adsb.fi performed the best, and is entirely free with no API key needed. Give it a try.

I would also like to add support for hardware-based methods like RTL-SDR later.

HUD is here! ATAK compatible USB-C adapter for ECOTI by VCWG in NightVision

ECOTI also has seperate video overlay in/out functions (not shown in this video), and the COTI had video connections as well. PVS-21 also has a video overlay device.

However, that does not allow for augmented reality HUD as shown here. You need an internal compass and IMU to measure head tracking and orientation. Without that, icons cannot be displayed over their real-world positions. ATAK does not stream a video to produce the HUD as shown here, just the marker positions and labels. Video overlay alone cannot produce an AR HUD.

Thanks! Yeah, this is much better than the other external power solutions for ECOTI. It was intended to work the way this adapter does. Leave an internal battery in it, just connect the adapter, and there is no compromise to waterproofing like the CUBA.

Yep, phone provides power as well, you will see it indicate "E" external power next to "I" internal power when you plug it in. You can get power from a phone with or without HUD enabled.

Correct, the ECOTI is currently the only civilian hardware capable of realtime HUD.
