scope1090 is a simple swing app inspired by the old-fashioned radars seen in movies and games, written in Kotlin. Being written in a JVM compatible language allows for high portability between multiple operating systems and does not require any compilation to run.

scope1090 is not fully tested on a retina display and may render blurry or pixelated.
Scope1090 will work well on any modern computer. Where applicable, Improvements have been put in place to increase performance on low-end devices such as a raspberry pi, for example, text, range markers, and the gauge, are all cached between repaints.
You may customise how the app looks using the following command line arguments, an example:
java -jar scope1090-1.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar --lat=0.0 --lon=-0.0 --sbs=127.0.0.1:30003 --rpm=30
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --lat | Latitude of center of scope (required) |
| --lon | Longitude of center of scope (required) |
| --sbs | Define a SBS data source connection in the format --sbs=127.0.0.1:30003 |
| --adsbx | Use an ADSBX API Key --adsbx=(your api key) |
| --hd | Enable high quality rendering hints |
| --rpm | Revolutions per minute of the rotating line. Default: 36. Set to 0 to disable sweep |
| --fade | Set the amount of seconds for a dot to disappear after being passed |
| --color | The colour (expressed as a hexadecimal, #00FF00) to use for the display |
| --markers | Distance (in kilometres) of the range markers. Default: 50. Set to 0 to disable |
| --nocursor | Remove the north-facing dashed cursor |
| --nobuttons | Disable the left and right buttons |
| --fullscreen | Open's the window in fullscreen |
Example
java -jar scope1090-1.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar --lat=0.0 --lon=-0.0 --sbs=127.0.0.1:30003 --hd --fade=2 --markers=10 --fullscreen --nocursor --nobuttons
You may disable the rotating line by setting --rpm=0 as a command line argument. The fade will be based on the time elapsed since a dot last moved. Disable the fading effect altogether using: --fade=0
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Mouse Wheel | Increase or decrease the range of the viewport |
| Mouse Wheel + CTRL | Rotate the view clockwise/anti-clockwise |
This is not a real radar, it is simply a graphical interface built to look like the ones you see in movies, it will not show anything by default unless you input it with some data.
