• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    Custom toolbar panel - HTTP request call from Javascript within panel's code...possible?

    I was wrong, the http calls are possible, both local and remote, however the response server has to accept CORS requests coming from coui:// origin.

    MSFS20 Drawing Gauges on the screen

    sure, pure V8 javascript engine is pretty fast and allows to develop easy code, plus tons of JS libraries makes the work much easier and faster than c++ developments, specially for rendering. I always wondered why LM did not introduced that in P3D in the first place but played with ScaleForm an...

    MSFS20 Reading traffic information

    I am not sure if it is MSFS bug or done on purpose but if you switch from live traffic to AI traffic, the Coherent.call("GET_AIR_TRAFFIC") returns empty list. You can observe that on VFR map, while devtool shows the traffic objects, simconnects reads them as well, the VFR map is empty...

    MSFS20 Drawing Gauges on the screen

    I do not entirely agree with that statement because CoherentGT does not support WebGL which is a major showstopper for sophisticated instruments requiring fast rendering. Still CoherentGT implemented native accelerated html canvas rendering but that is not the same thing.

    Custom toolbar panel - HTTP request call from Javascript within panel's code...possible?

    I tried and htttp calls (local and remote) are redirected by coherent to VFS, so I managed only to receive the static files stored at html_ui and included in layout.json

    MSFS20 Reading traffic information

    Many thanks Eric. It worked. Pity we do not have decent SDK but have to do reverse engineering ... reminds me FS9-FSX times.

    Hi Eric, Could you please explain how did you solve it ? I am facing similar problem. Many thx in advance.

    MSFS20 2D gauges conversion by Legacy Importer

    Nice work. I did couple of years ago similar XML gauges conversion into HTML to be used within my framework for P3D/X-plane. Now as the HTML renderer is out of box built-in MSFS it makes sense for me to come back to this project. I managed to migrate all XML elements and their properties...

    MSFS20 High Level Overview of MSFS2020 Tech

    Thanks for the post. I have not started SDK analysis yet, however it is nice to see MS/Asobo went the same way as I did pioneering with html-based gauges, already back in 2013. Their SVS also looks familiar, so I need to see what lies behind :)

    P3D v4 Are L:vars public to read?

    I see the issue you from the perspectivre of the code that output values into variables and the right of the author of the implementation to defne the use of them (license). You see it from the perspective of the numeric values stored in the shared memory space of fsx that anyone can read and...

    P3D v4 Are L:vars public to read?

    I am not talking about algorythm nor its result but implementation. This can be certainly IP as implementation can be done in many ways. I agree with Jeffrey, lvars can be sort of api to the gauge code/logic. Code behind can be complex and meet creativity requirement. Look at the whole picture...

    P3D v4 Are L:vars public to read?

    Is 7559 copyrightable ? Of course not. This is prime number. So when I implement CREATIVE code to calculate prime numbers and register it via fsx sdk then this code is IP and have the right to restrict the use of that variable CALCULATED using the algorythm i used. I am not claiming copyright to...

    P3D v4 Are L:vars public to read?

    I believe you agree with me lvars can be very creative. Number of passengers probably is not. When you read that public token you execute (indirectly) someones code or put it other way without this code you would get null. Imagine you build a gauge with hundres of lvars that provides some...
