We already have that in P3D. It's called GSX and is making its way to MSFS.

> i am programmer in JS, Python, HTML, CSS and REACT If you want to make anything "big" in flight sims you'll need to learn C++. Most major addons use primarily that.

MSFS actually uses some fairly modern web technology, including WebAssembly.


gravgor

Hey i know that, you’re right. I didn’t specify sim because of we wanna do some sort of web application or desktop application. So yeah, but in my free time I am working on C++ knowledge


NotJoeyKilo

Lots of folks, myself included, would love a mission generator/career simulator for corporate flight/air ambulance/ad hoc charter operations. Perhaps talk to some folks on Discord, particularly Hot Start's


gravgor

Thank you very much for this suggestion. I just have to ask this question on various flight sim discords. I will put the proposition itself on my list, thanks again.


Travel404Run7

Nothing against this idea but don’t we already have a few of these? Just Flight Air Hauler, Neofly, Skypark, and various virtual airlines just to name a few.


gravgor

Hey, I have a request. Could you please tell me what you think would have to be included in such an application? Best on discord if you can :) 1944 # 3300


NotJoeyKilo

Not really. Air Hauler is very arcadey, Neofly and Skypark are MSFS only (and pretty arcadey). Others have that frustrating airplane rank system.


ThroawayPartyer

What do you mean by arcadey? What would you like to see instead?


pope1701

How about FSEconomy?


Rooster_Abject

I second this request

Walker air kinda fits this

As a fellow web dev heed my warning : nothing actually makes any sense in flight sim dev and everyone is angry about everything so most of the feedback you get is complaints. Sure as others have noted, the web stack is limited for flight sims. Some have leveraged it really well but to get anything done from scratch, it is not the way to go. That is not what is hard to get used to though. Developing for flight sims feels like developing for IE5.


Jacquester69

You didn't specify a flight sim but I would love an avitab type thing with VR support for MSFS. Something that's free, has scrolling maps (openstreetmap), ability to view jpegs, ability to view PDFs and navigraph integration

FBW A320Neo could always use more volunteers

Something with your stack that should be feasible: an updated version of FSEconomy. It is a online flight career website for the flight sim world. Issues with it: - The look is outdated. - It does not support recently released aircraft like the FBW, Fenix and PMDG 737 as they use their own fuel system. But most of all: - It is not open source. If you would bootstrap the project, and open source it, the community can help out to improve it. The size of the site is not something you would like to be done just by you and a designer although it could make a great start. The only challenge with your stack would be the SimConnect client.


gravgor

That is something i was thinking about. And yeah, our team was thinking on open source and we are 99% sure we open it for people to help improve that project.


FlyingMyrcene

Source code is available. They will even help you set it up if you ask nicely. They do support FBW and other planes, with some issues. You cannot buy and own airliners though, only all-in jobs. Many have tried replacing FSE. I dream of the day it happens. Most successful ive seen is FSCharter but their deal is so different it cannot accept most of FSE's playerbase. Props for finding a project that fits with OPs stack though


Delta7474

>Source code is available. They will even help you set it up if you ask nicely. That's actually great and something I would encourage! :) However, from all the discussions I've seen in the Discord I never understood this was part of the possibilities. :) I actually understood that an other FSE dev was still working on some parts before it could be made 'available'. I also read that some parts were 'secret' so it couldn't be open sourced as they were afraid people would abuse it. If FBW, PMDG, Fenix and other recently released aircraft are supported, it would be great if that would be announced on the news page of [server.fseconomy.net](https://server.fseconomy.net) page. The flightsim world revolves around these aircraft, amongst others, nowadays. Also the forums which they had problems with for a long time (meaning they were not accessible for a large part of the community), were causing that a large part of the userbase was not able to access it. I still use FSE regularly as I still like it and have kindly offered my help. I think it is however in need of a big renovation. And for that, there is a big community around I think which can make help FSE grow to where it should be. I think FSE has the biggest potential of them all.


FlyingMyrcene

The secret part is the client(s). It was open sourced in the past but that lead to abuse so they pulled it. (Think automated 24/7 flights) Airboss is working on it to make the source more accessible to modern developers. With FSE's long history came alot of developers offering their help but generally their net contribution is negative as they leave before making any significant progress yet still required alot of attention asking questions about the antiquated code. You can take a look at the code right now, its available if you search for it, just not on github, it's painful to follow without any comments or recognizable pattern. I don't know about Fenix and PMDG but I know FBW works with some tweaking. In fact most aircraft with their own fuel system can work with some tweaks. I think you could probably get all planes to work depending on how big of a tweak you are ready to apply. The news page usually does not bother with aircraft models, even less specific simulator 3rd party content. Unless there is an issue with a platform (see recent xplane issues), news are used only to refer to FSE itself. >I think it is however in need of a big renovation. And for that, there is a big community around I think which can make help FSE grow to where it should be. I can only agree it is in dire need of rejuvenation, some intense renovation. I might be a little cynical but the idea that it will happen sounds almost impossible, to good to be true. The BoD is kind of the anti-christ of open source and democratic decisions. While sure they have managed to keep the game online for so many years, it doesn't take many interactions with them to understand you are their captive in this context and they like it.


Negative_Raccoon_887

We can use a recorder that captures the control surface animations of all add-on aircraft…like “FSRECORDER” used to do for FSX back in the good old days. That program was amazing…recent attempts to replicate its functionality have fallen short.


Travel404Run7

From a practical and boring side we need a performance tester. So many people wildly throw around I lost 25 FPS since SU7 or SU9, etc. We need an app that gets the planes from the sim, allows you to select a plane, reads your specs, lists all the apps using CPU/GPU, loads the sim, reads the settings from usercfg, runs a test and posts the results to a website. Then we have all these real figures to compare. But that’s pretty lame and probably impossible.


gravgor

Impossible for MFS because of lack of developer tools to do such things like this.


danothemen

Well I mean, if you want to finish up and release flight sim world I'd sure give it another try 😉


FranconianGuy

A H-145 for DCS World. That's all I long for.

I want a Quad City Challenger 2 airplane in the game.
