FlightGear is open-source so we can build an interface directly into the code if we wish. With the end of the line of MSFS, I definitely need to have a conversation with the project magenta guys about developing an interface between their displays and FlightGear. can you do two-way communication between a machine running MSFS + FSUIPC + WideFS and some remote application on some other networked PC?) Correct?Īre there limits to the data fields you can interchange between networked machines? Is there a limit to the direction you can send data (i.e. Then WideFS must be an external program that talks to FSUIPC and includes a network interface so that it can send and receive data with other networked machines. I hate to sound so stupid about MSFS and FSUIPC and WideFS, but let me just try to clarify what these do.įSUIPC must be a plugin that provides local IPC type communication between MSFS and some external program (running on the same machine.) Is that correct? (I am not into these new-fangled systems - 737NG is my most modern avionics interest. That's about all I can help you with at present.

But in the end the one with the most likely interface options would be the Project Magenta one, whether it ran with FS + FSUIPC, or your own software emulating FS + FSUIPC. There may be more options with the MindStar one - you'd need to ask them. However, the access to FSX's own G1000 gauge is not great - it's an area where Microsoft didn't expose very much.

You'd install FSUIPC in FS, enable a WideFS link to your Sim's PC and write the interface to FSUIPC/WideFs to run there, talking to WideClient no networking needed in your program.Īll the information you need to interface to FSUIPC is provided in the FSUIPC SDK. WideFS is the Networked extension for FSUIPC. And I believe I would need to extract some data back out of the G1000 simulation to hand back to the FlightGear based simulator.įSUIPC won't handle UDP or TCP connections itself. Is this sort of thing doable? Is there a better way to approach the task? Can you or anyone else offer me some advice to get me pointed in the right direction?Ĭould I then buy and install a copy of FSUIPC and would that allow me to configure my copy of MSFS so it is driven by some external source? From the FlightGear side I can setup any custom UDP packet I want, so I assume there'd need to be some agreement between what I send FSUIPC from FlightGear. (Apologies if my terminology and understanding of the MSFS world is a bit off!) :-)

That's already setup and running, I just need to find a G1000 to graft into to the system.

FlightGear is handling the flight dynamics, the out-the-window display, the other instrument graphics, etc. Can I buy a copy of MSFS, get the G1000 simulation plugin or whatever I need to do there, and then set this up so the G1000 consumes the entire display? Then I would like to slave this to the existing FlightGear based simulator. I'm trying to get my head wrapped around how the basic structure might work. I was led to believe that MSFS includes some sort of G1000 simulation, or at least it is available as an inexpensive plugin? It also appears that project magenta has something look looks G1000-ish. I'm a FlightGear guy and have not run MSFS since the mid-90's so I don't know much about what is offered and available in the world of Microsoft these days. I was directed here by a coworker, so I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not, but let me start here and maybe you can help, or at least point me in the right direction.įirst, let me describe what I want to do: I would like to find some reasonably cost effect (yet reasonably complete) Garmin G1000 simulation and interface it to FlightGear based flight training device.
