Overlays and controls for Virtual Radar Server using Leaflet maps

This JavaScript code is a plugin for the ADSB aircraft tracking Virtual Radar Server software. The Javascript files need to be used with the Virtual Radar Server Custom Content plugin.

Note that this is the first code that I have written and published on GitHub. I'm not a professional programmer, rather was interested to try and put something together for personal use but realised that there is some demand from the wider community for this. I'm sure there's better or more efficient ways of writing the code, and further improvements that can be made to include additional features. Therefore I welcome constructive feedback and pull requests to improve and/or add further features.

My Virtual Radar server page is at wiganradar.co.uk

IMPORTANT NOTICE: These overlays contain aviation airscape, weather, navigational aids, airfield information, etc. All of these are purely for entertainment / hobby use and MUST NEVER be relied upon to any extent for real world aviation / flying. You should always use the latest legal airspace charts and weather information as published by official sources. This is not an official source. By using this code you agree to make users of your webpage aware of this, and agree that the publisher is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the use of this code. The airspace charts, navigational aids,aerodrome information, weather, etc will not be 100% complete or accurate and will contain errors.

I am grateful for the following resources which have been used in this code:

• Airspace overlay data courtesy of Open AIP
• Weather overlay images courtesy of Aeris weather
• Waypoint markers from sam210723
• Leaflet grouped layer control from ismyrnow
• Night and day overlay from Jörg Dietrich
• Leaflet awesome markers from Ivoogdt

For the weather overlays to work you will need to sign up for an API code from Aeris Weather and then insert it into the 'Put this file at end of body' file.
