FS Plugin

[Brian Beach 915973]

Wouldn't it be great if there would be a vroute FS plugin, where it would display information about Vatsim while in FS?

 

I know, it would be added in the next major release if anything.

You mean a sort of VRoute Gauge? If so that'd be awesome.

[Michal Rok]

You can still run vroute as a separate application while FS is running. The only issue would be with full-screen operation of FS.

Yes, I mean a gauge. It would be the icing on the cake

[Roman Dreyer 961839]

hey people, why to make it difficult?! why gauges?!

you simply can put it into: Flight Simulator 9\Uires\nobrief.htm

 

which is the intergated page in the kneeboard of Flight Simulator

Roman,

 

Could you explain your "put it in ..../nobrief.... comment in more detail. It sounds very interesting but I don't understand how it is done.

 

Thank you

Gordon

ok... here we go:

you have the built in kneeboard, right?!

you have some buttons like radio history, some other stuff and... BRIEFING!

it is usually NOT empty, when you take a flight from the default ready flights in the FS. or a lesson from the learning center. it contains the briefing about the lesson or mission.

 

now when you build your own flight, of course it has no briefing, and the page it loads is the "nobrief.htm"

 

and since your flights are always custom, the page the kneeboard loads is the nobrief.htm

========

- What can be done with nobrief.htm?

ANYTHING! it's a usual html file, supporting ALL the scripting/technologies an HTML file can support. (like in any website)

 

========

- How can it help vRoute?

since vRoute is html, integrated in software, that "integration" can be put into the nobrief.htm

and what you see in the vRoute, you'll see in the kneeboard

 

========

- What the end user has to do?

All you will have to do is copy and html file to the "Uires" directory in your FS, that's all!

 

Hope it helped more

is the html file we are copying the actual vroute.info file? I'm confused about that part but I think I'll give this a try!

[Roman Dreyer 961839]

i don't think so.

as i checked vRoute made some nice work to secure their stuff.

 

of course i already have an idea how to "break" it, but i don't really want to, and don't have time for it

i just fly not in full screen because of the charts issue (yeah, i don't print them. my dad doesn't work in a paper factory )

[Michal Rok]

vroute is way too big for the brief window. This was the reason for not including such a feature in the first place.
