• 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.

    FSX Replicate FSX panel on a smartphone using WebSockets (WebSimConnect?)

    As a follow up here is my result. There's a lot of moving parts here so I'll try to sum up a little. Task: Replicate the advisory display of the ATR 72 as a webpage to show it on mobile devices. Prerequisite: The Flight1`s ATR software for FSX has no data interface nor does it use standard...

    FSX Replicate FSX panel on a smartphone using WebSockets (WebSimConnect?)

    This works well for me. However I tried hosting the above html page in websimconnect server and add some simulator data, too. I adapted the WebSimConnect\www\lab\tutorial1.html example like below. The JSON data is loaded and displayed upon start but is not updating when the JSON file is changed...

    FSX Replicate FSX panel on a smartphone using WebSockets (WebSimConnect?)

    Ah, yes it's a little bit hard to explain, it's more of a makeshift project. Your tips are great! I managed to get a working webpage with JSON data in under 2 hours. I have never done this before. All I need to do now is modify the JSON file with my OCR data. Now you mentioned the cache...

    FSX Replicate FSX panel on a smartphone using WebSockets (WebSimConnect?)

    Well,... actually I'm quite overwhelmed now! My programming skills are not that good. I appreciate your help but right now it looks to me I should propably stay with websimconnect as I begin to understand that. But I'll take a closer look at your suggestion.

    FSX Replicate FSX panel on a smartphone using WebSockets (WebSimConnect?)

    For my ATR 72 flight simulator I want to replicate the autopilot display (AFCS) as a webpage displayed on a smartphone. With my Flight1 software there is no other way to get the displayed text than through OCR. So my current solution is this: - use AutoHotkey to run the OCR(Capture2Text) and...

    FSX XML coding help needed - array?

    Thanks for your tips. I will look into it. FYI the actual gauge will be "stupid". It must only provide the altitude, bearing and distance of AI in LVars. These will be accessed through Air Manager where the actual TCAS functionality will be programmed.

    FSX XML coding help needed - array?

    Hi folks, I have managed to get an XML gauge to work that uses the fs9gps TrafficInfo to retrieve AI positions. All it needs to do is to write bearing, distance, altitude to L: Vars. The gauge has no visible output. Can anybody tell me how I can modify the code to allow for e.g. 15 aircraft to...

    FSX Logging the Flight1 ATR 72

    Thanks, but unfortunately I get a "serious error" in panel.dll and fsx crashes when xmltools is installed. But never mind. I am looking into a different solution now.

    FSX Logging the Flight1 ATR 72

    Hello, well that's the point! After unpacking and installing the dll I don't know at all what to do! Do I need to add a gauge to the ac's panel? Remember I need to log the ac's behaviour without knowing anything about the variables.

    FSX Logging the Flight1 ATR 72

    Now that I looked at the download I'm a little lost. What do I need to do to log LVARS that I don't even know if they exist and what they're called? Any idea?

    FSX Logging the Flight1 ATR 72

    I talked to someone who tried but not a chance. Another thought is: I can open the panel in FS Panel Studio and open the gauge editor. No code but I can see the bitmaps that are used as annunciators. Is there a way to find out what bmps are currently visible? I thought there are maybe some...

    FSX Logging the Flight1 ATR 72

    Hi, I want to use the Flight1 ATR for building a simulator. All gauges are in a .dll and you cannot look at the code. The add-on uses only some standard keys and simvars, a lot is custom built into the gauges. I have managed to assign buttons to some functions with FSUIPC mouse macros. This...

    Sorry, I misinterpreted the code. The change is instantly. Thanks, I'll use it slightly modified.

    setting zoom directly

    Thanks for your reply. I came up with something similar myself. After all it's just sending zoom_in/out several times. It doesn't look good from the virtual cockpit in my opinion. I'm really looking for a way to set it to a value directly.

    setting zoom directly

    Hello, ist it possible to set the zoom of the current view (VC, outside, tower) to a certain value? I can find the key events for zoom in/out, but I'd like to set a certein value through a gauge. Thank you.

    key events for MFD

    Just in case someone wants to know: It is very easy. All I had to do was create a small gauge that would manipulate the L: var used in the mfd.xml. In this example switching the autopilot on/off would switch the mfd display to showing NDBs/VORs. <Gauge Name="A321_MFD_PFD_Panel"...

    key events for MFD

    OK, I have looked into the A321 default gauge "pfd_mfd_select_panel.xml" inside "Airbus_A321.cab". Here an example of the Mode knob - it uses the var L: Display Mode. So this is a local variable. But the MFD has an xml file of its own. It also uses the same var name. How do these to interact...
