Hy together, i apologize right away for my imperfect english skills since it´s not my first language.
I did a bit of research already, but dont find what i´m looking for so i thought i give it here a try.
I made for my current project a 3D city, with all kinds of simulations of traffic and everything that can move. Now i want to bring my project to the next step and using real time flight data via an API and show all air traffic that is going on in this area. I´m currently looking for such an API.
My question is now, does anyone can give me hints / places where to look for, for this kind of problem to bring into a Unity3D project?
I don’t know such an API.
However, maybe you search for one and post it here. There will be ways to communicate with it. Maybe via a Native Plugin. But probably it will be a web service. then you just have to communicate via HTTP Requests (In Unity by using the WWW class).
I did now some research and it seems to be really difficul to find an API that delivers those kind of data stream.
So far i didn´t found one. The only think i found is that you need your own hardware (antenna + receiver).
Those anyone else have an idea where to find such an API? Or do i really need to have the hardware first?
EDIT:
Just found out i wont get the datastream for free, and currently i´m not willing to pay so much for the data per month. So i go over and simulate the airtraffic via XML files. If anyone have some informations for that to make moving objects from XML-Data please let me know.
