• 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.

Hello folks,
So I’ve been working on this console app for a little while. It’s purpose is to run in the background of another app (probably written using electron, at least, that’s what I use, and I’ve written my own framework for it :) ). The console app is basically a tcp client that sends out data to the server listening.
In the process of this writing this post, I’m pushing this project to github.
Here’s a short demo of it sending data to the server, that hosts a simple json api for the data. It’s updated either 500ms or 50ms.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ShIiVCu880GYma860HtGW86fGMM9r02/view

The client sends data in a single variable, that has a delimiter of ;.
So, that’s the data example: 400;233;Prepar3D v4.4;54.3839;22.8484
 
Oh gosh, I literally made something with the same name and a (kinda) similar purpose just this past week (and it's also on GitHub)! Mine supports data flow in the opposite direction, where the client subscribes to MQTT topics with the intent to listen for commands sent by an AWS Lambda function invoked by an Amazon Echo device. :p

Well, I changed the purpose of my "SimBridge". It’s main purpose now, is to power my ACARS system that’s written with electron.
It’s basically a web server, that electron makes requests to.
The data server works with xplane and fsx/p3d on windows only. I have plans to make a web server run straight from xplane on mac os. Here’s what it can do now.
Idk why I’m explaining this, but there are routes for /api/status (conn status; get), /api/data (live sim data; get) and /api/acars (tells whether the user is at the departure airport/arrival, flight progress, distance, time enroute; post (with departure and arrival airports)).
