• 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 would like to make this experiment, but I don't know if any of you guys already did. I would like to make an AJAX call or HTTP request call to a webservice from within a custom Panel within MSFS, is this possible?...(I think probably...but I'm not sure if any had already experimented with this idea)

Any advice would be appreciated.

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

I managed to get only compiled via devmod and written in .json, .js files. Only through the external hook of the simconnect on the external application WASM_module - simconnect_WASM_client can you get to system calls and functions. You can load pre-written files directly through .js html-ui, making a copy in an array, class, function or object, and then work with them already inside the sim. You can try and read the loaded .xml, but I did not experiment.

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.
