Windows-native release
Windows 10/11 x64 users no longer need Docker or a separate Python installation.
- Download
WDG-Aircraft-Sidecar-Windows-x64-v1.1.0.zip. - Extract the entire folder.
- Plug in one compatible RTL-SDR and a 1090 MHz antenna.
- Double-click
Start-WDG-Aircraft-Sidecar.cmd. - Enter your own 64-character WDG Wars API key when prompted; input is hidden.
If Windows has not used that RTL-SDR with SDR software before, follow the included guarded Zadig/WinUSB instructions. The package remains headless: it has no web UI and its only listener is the local-only SBS feed at 127.0.0.1:30003.
Status.cmd shows message, pending-aircraft, uploaded-aircraft, authentication, and last-upload state. Data and the API key stay under the current account's %LOCALAPPDATA%\Canadaverse\WDG-Aircraft-Sidecar folder.
