Hi! Tried several things, but couldn't open it on iPad. Can you make a more clear readme on how to make it happen!?

Thanks a lot for such a great plugin!

With some easy code in top of index.html header you can make it more user friendly on the iPad as webapp. When you open the app inside the browser, you can than choose "Add to homescreen". When opened directly from the homescreen, all the controls like favorites and address bar are hidden and you will get a more native experience.

Following code inside header.

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"> <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="VFRMap">

This PR adds two things:

New vfrmap design

Based on suggestions from #21, this PR adds a different design with a small settings menu to toggle a dark mode and instrument displays. I imported two external sources for this, Tailwind and Alpine.JS. They are currently not part of the bindata. If you want me to change that, I'm happy to provide another PR.

You can find a screenshot of it in #21.

go-bindata generation helpers

There was not really a hint on how to generate all the bindata, so I added a Makefile to the vfrmap project and the html subdirectory, so when running make generate, the dependencies (leafletjs, the rotatedMarker plugin) will be downloaded and prepared. Afterwards, go generate will be run. The download of the vendor files can be triggered on its own from the html/Makefile using make vendor.

Hello I am using Flight Sim to fly the plane externally. I am using the Autopilot with heading control using the keyboard. Sometimes the FlightSim goes crazy and the heading starts rotating and cannot stop it. Seems to be related to this map program. Thanks Matt

I have to following error when trying to launch vfrmap.exe

`panic: Failed to load D:\SimConnect.dll: The specified module could not be found.

goroutine 1 [running]: main.main() /users/lian/prj/go/lian/msfs2020-go/vfrmap/main.go:76 +0x88b`

I don't know if this is known yet, but I had something very strange moments with the VFR map yesterday. I have used the mod a few times now, it worked fine, but yesterday I wanted to test how it is when I share the mapserver so that external people can open the map as well. (port forward) This works so far, but as soon as a second or third person opens the card, Flight Simulator goes crazy. The following is happens:

Sim is running active flight:

Second person opens the card : Plane is teleported randomly or SIM crashes completely.

New flight is started and the map is opened by 2 or 3 persons:

Plane starts somewhere in the world or SIM crashes.

Is this known? This has not happened every time, but quite regularly.

I am fairly sure this is something on my end, as I waited to see if anyone else reported but there has been a ton of releases and no one has complained, but since 0.0.3 which changed to openstreetmap my exe opens then closes. If I launch it from CMD I get the following:

I know this isn't an issue with the software itself as others would be having, but can anyone advise on what I have done wrong here. I am quite new to all of this but it was working at one point :)

Thanks,

When I try to download the zip file at https://github.com/lian/msfs2020-go/releases/download/v0.0.7/vfrmap-win64-v0.0.7.zip Edge Browser says - "Couldn't download - Virus detected"

Hi,

Many times when i connect and start ingame a flight. My consoles says something going wrong look at the console. when i check the console cmd, i see some text talking about closes 1001 socket (go away) message. so the browser starts the page and i can click the button on low left and i see the map but after a few seconds its disconnecting. How can it be resolved?

Hello lian and thank you for this amazing tool.

I was tinkering around a bit with it - works amazingly well. I own a URL at which I created a webforward pointing to my external IP address. In my router I forwarded port 9000 to the machine running MSFS - so now if i go to http://[URL]:9000 I can view the map from anywhere in the world - even my phone or tablet.

That also means I could in theory broadcast this URL to friends or use it for streaming so people can watch my flight in a different tab if they want to - however I noticed there's also a function that allows me (or anyone accessing the map) to click anywhere on the map and then teleport the plane to that location - which of course would be terrible if someone did that during a stream - and also could be viewed as cheating ;)

Would it be possible to include a function to disable the "teleport" function ?

Cheers,

RegenCoE

Thanks for this nice tool! I was wondering if there could be an option to serve the map somewhere else than localhost so that other machines on the local network could access it, possibly with some confirmation prompt on the host for security reasons, but else with just the user setting up permissions in the first place?

I believe it would make vfrmap much more flexible, and also a nice and open alternative to those mobile applications. Trusted people could even follow flights on remote machines, provided they use something like Zerotier; note this would also be useful for people who use cloud computing to run MFS 2020.

vfrmap was working fine on my old computer running Windows 10. The computer died about a month ago and I have recently bought a new one that has Windows 11. The map display works on the new machine but the option to display navigational data now does nothing.

Hi, I've been using vfrmap with msfs for the last 18 months and it has always worked fine until this week. Now after I start msfs and run vfrmap, when I go to localhost:9000 in google chrome, the map is just solid grey. I get the readings across the top showing heading, alt, speed, etc but no map. The other views like Stamen Terrain, Toner, Water all work fine.

How do I get the map back? thanks Ian [email protected]

When running it on Steam/Linux, it gives the following error:

How to fix:

1. Edit SimConnect.xml:

~/Downloads > locate SimConnect.xml /mnt/disk/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1250410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/SimConnect.xml

Set port from default of 500 to 2222:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

    </SimConnect.Comm>
</SimBase.Document>

2. Use the following SimConnect.cfg and placed it in the same directory as vfrmap.exe

~/Downloads > cat SimConnect.cfg 
; Example SimConnect client configurations

; new FS pipe
[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=2222
;Protocol=Pipe
;Port=2222
;Address=.

; Automatic detection, backward compatible with FSX
[SimConnect.1]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=2222

[SimConnect.2]
Protocol=Ipv6
Port=2222
Address=127.0.0.1

[SimConnect.3]
Protocol=Ipv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=2222

; default FSX pipe
[SimConnect.4]
Protocol=Pipe
Address=.
Port=2222

; global pipe, use the configuration of the remote server
[SimConnect.4]
Protocol=Pipe
Address=.
Port=2222

; global IPv6, use the configuration of the remote server
[SimConnect.5]
Protocol=IPv6
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=2222


; global IPv4, use the configuration of the remote server
[SimConnect.6]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=2222

3. Optionally, enable developer mode in MSFS 2020, install MSFS SDK, and copy SimConnect.dll to the same directory as vfrmap.exe:

~/Downloads > cp ~/.wine/drive_c/MSFS\ SDK/SimConnect\ SDK/lib/SimConnect.dll ~/Downloads

The VFRMap CSS for the HUD icons and text is currently fixed size, which means if you just want a small map window in the corner, it turns into this:

Making the HUD div use text-size: 1.75vw; would solve that problem:

Hello,

first thank you for your excellent work 👍 The navigational data of oipenaip.net are very lagging. Is it possible to integrate also openflightmap as additional map like openstreetmap. In this map the airspaces are included and so the map is not lagging. Also the pattern circuits are included, for example in germany.
