Nope but we took matters into our own hands and created a public plugin to calculate pilots Mach and IAS. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing. Even more important for pilots to use actual, real time weather.

MorpheusXAUT/IASsure: I assure IAS  

 

ps: if there is anyone, anywhere with a valid API key for data sources such as windy, that vACCs would be allowed to use... we can improve accuracy slightly and make setting the plugin up more easy. Currently accuracy is roughly 5KT, or M0.01 for our implementation. Such key we can probably bring it down to 1KT. (Using the plugin with Sweatbox and weather turned off yields such accuracies).

What does that have to do with anything?

If this somehow works, please also ask for

IAS, MACH, Selected FL

- All the controllers

 

This. I.e.: we didn't wait for a reply! 😄

Along the same lines, could we not also request to have a "Jetway connected = 0 or 1" simconnect variable transmitted? Or to go even further, for pushback tugs and etc. (say, GSX vehicles?) Maybe it could be an optional receive/transmit option in the settings.

I'm not sure that would be very useful, given all the different simulators that work on VATSIM and all the different sceneries that are out there, and all the different ways that jetways and ground support vehicles are simulated and controlled in the various add-ons.
