![]() ![]() I think that would be a useful contribution to the community but we will have to see if people ever make much use of it.Google Maps is best known for converting your mobile into a travel guide, giving you turn by turn directions to reach your destination. My goal isn't Google earth view, its really the enhanced http.dll that would facilitate two-way communication between browser and FS. I like it and I can imagine that some people will occasionally use it. The earth.html is an easy way to see what GE looks like any time you're flying. I never flew FS in VFR much before, but I admit to being mesmerized by the Google earth view in the mountains. I asked Robbie (my son) to throw together the http.dll so Google earth could be shown in real time as FS flies. It's not mainstream, as I said before, but there's room to grow. I agree that the web provides another degree of freedom to FS developers. Thanks for putting so much effort into the videos and user interfaces. ![]() You have many interesting applications - including the PFD in your video - that should give people food for thought. As such, use this software at your own risk. While every effort was made to ensure there are no vulnerabilities, as best practice you should restrict access to this port to your local machine or local network (for those behind home routers, most will only allow external access to whitelisted ports by default anyway). Security Note: HttpX opens a TCP port (54321) on the machine running Flight Simulator. But if you’ve never been to the Alps, let GE View give you an aerial tour! Thanks in advance.Īdmittedly, none of these are mainstream Flight Simulator applications, just additional interesting things that can be done. It’s important to gauge the level of interest in the FS Community for the enhanced HttpX.dll and Moving Nav Charts applications, so please provide feedback with your ideas. In the meantime, GE View could be enhanced to display Google maps in addition to Google earth, though it would be of limited interest to the FS community. If copyright and permission issues could ever be agreed (unlikely) then it is possible to produce moving nav charts in a web browser. Moving Navigation Charts in browser: Linking Flight Sim to navigation charts available on the web. HttpX.dll does not use any websimconnect code, but I believe the underlying idea of joining Flight Sim with a web application is the same. For a related product, please also check out. This would facilitate development of a MFD on a tablet, for example. Further work will await commercial release of the Oculus Rift VR headset and/or advancements in how the Google earth browser plug-in is implemented.Įnhanced HttpX.dll: Expansion of functionality to read all types of Flight Sim variables and capability to write to L:Vars and fire events from html. ![]() It’s very cool to move your head around and see the Google earth 3D world around you as Flight Sim flies. Oculus VR view: Robbie has completed a beta version of GE View that uses the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset (Development Kit 2 headset). Those files, plus an installation guide, are attached to this posting. GE View consists of two files, HttpX.dll that accesses pertinent A:Vars from Flight Sim and makes them readable to a web application, and earth.html, the web app that opens Google earth and uses the A:Vars to control Google earth’s camera view. In my opinion, the Google earth view is often spectacular in mountainous areas, but cities that have the low altitude stereo imagery are impressive as well.
