External MSFS Bridge

#1 Post by JackZ »

@Ralph & @Corjan
I found this GitHub project that could be of some interest to you
was looking into making a universal framework/protocol for transmitting local events/variables regardless of where it is used

Late reply, sorry for the late reply. We were already at the right track, but it takes some time. At the moment we're able to fire H events, which means we can for example control the G1000. Now it's on to reading and writing L variables. We'll probably have a beta soon.

Great news Ralph!
Please let us know when the beta will be available.
I have many instruments that use Mobiflight WASM for H: events and writing L: variables.
I will be happy to test AM 4.1.

@Ralph and @Corjan
Found also this one (Code is Licensed GNU gen public license) as a Navigation data parser for ALL the platforms including MSFS! Apparently this creates a set of SQL databases from different sources including BGL and scenery files, but also Flight Plans. Works on XPlane too
Could it be the holy Grail? 8-)

Untested, but thought it could be of interest

PS: just figured that this Guy (Alexander Barthel) is the one behind LittleNavMap, so he definitely KNOWS his stuff, no doubt.

This is great... I can't wait to update the G1000/G3000/710/580/etc instruments that I have been having to utilize other WASM packages for. Going to start testing this shortly.

IT WORKS!!!!
I quickly test it and am now able to
- read LVAR
- write LVAR
- trigger H events
Congratulation to the team.
This is a major breakthrough !

I had one problem:
I customized the location of the "Content" folder during MSFS installation.
The beta plugin installation installs the plugin in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\airplugin
which is the "default" community folder but not my custom community folder.
I move airplugin folder to my community folder and it now works fine.

Suggestion: In the API documentation, use examples with default MSFS 2020 airplanes. The current examples use A2A C172. It is easier to test an example with A320Neo. I used "L:A320_Neo_MFD_Range_1", "enum", to test var subscribe and var write and "H:A320_Neo_MFD_BTN_CSTR_1" for event.

Is there any special syntax for events with L: variables? Can't seem to get mine to fire
