It also includes, as an example, "Cockpit Companion", a flask mini http server which runs locally. It provides a web UI with a moving map and simulation variables. It also provides simulation data in JSON format in response to REST API requests. Full documentation for this example can be found at [https://msfs2020.cc](https://msfs2020.cc/) and it is included in a standalone repo here on Github as [MSFS2020-cockpit-companion](https://github.com/hankhank10/MSFS2020-cockpit-companion). Mobiflight Simconnect events: Yes this supports the new [SimConnect commands that DocMoebiuz](https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/full-g1000-control-now-with-mobiflight/348509) of [MobiFlight](https://www.mobiflight.com/en/index.html) developed. A full list of [commands and install instructions](https://pastebin.com/fMdB7at2) At this time MobiFlight SimConnect commands are not include in the AircraftEvents class and as so the AircraftEvents.find() and AircraftEvents.get() will not work. You will need to pass the Event ID to a new Event class as the Example below shows. ``` from SimConnect import * # Create SimConnect link sm = SimConnect() # Creat a function to call the MobiFlight AS1000_MFD_SOFTKEYS_3 event. Sk3 = Event(b'MobiFlight.AS1000_MFD_SOFTKEYS_3', sm) # Call the Event. Sk3() sm.exit() quit() ``` Python interface example ``` from SimConnect import * # Create SimConnect link sm = SimConnect() # Note the default _time is 2000 to be refreshed every 2 seconds aq = AircraftRequests(sm, _time=2000) # Use _time=ms where ms is the time in milliseconds to cache the data. # Setting ms to 0 will disable data caching and always pull new data from the sim. # There is still a timeout of 4 tries with a 10ms delay between checks. # If no data is received in 40ms the value will be set to None # Each request can be fine tuned by setting the time param. # To find and set timeout of cached data to 200ms: altitude = aq.find("PLANE_ALTITUDE") altitude.time = 200 # Get the aircraft's current altitude altitude = aq.get("PLANE_ALTITUDE") altitude = altitude + 1000 # Set the aircraft's current altitude aq.set("PLANE_ALTITUDE", altitude) ae = AircraftEvents(sm) # Trigger a simple event event_to_trigger = ae.find("AP_MASTER") # Toggles autopilot on or off event_to_trigger() # Trigger an event while passing a variable target_altitude = 15000 event_to_trigger = ae.find("AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH") # Sets AP autopilot hold level event_to_trigger(target_altitude) sm.exit() quit() ``` HTTP interface example Run `glass_server.py` using Python 3. `http://localhost:5000` Method: GET Variables: None Output: Web interface with moving map and aircraft information `http://localhost:5000/dataset/<dataset_name>` Method: GET Arguments to pass: \| Argument \| Location \| Description \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| dataset\_name \| in path \| can be navigation, airspeed compass, vertical\_speed, fuel, flaps, throttle, gear, trim, autopilot, cabin \| Description: Returns set of variables from simulator in JSON format `http://localhost:5000/datapoint/<datapoint_name>/get` Method: GET Arguments to pass: \| Argument \| Location \| Description \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| datapoint\_name \| in path \| any variable name from MS SimConnect documentation \| Description: Returns individual variable from simulator in JSON format `http://localhost:5000/datapoint/<datapoint_name>/set` Method: POST Arguments to pass: \| Argument \| Location \| Description \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| datapoint\_name \| in path \| any variable name from MS SimConnect documentation \| \| index (optional) \| form or json \| the relevant index if required (eg engine number) - if not passed defaults to None \| \| value\_to\_use (optional) \| value to set variable to - if not passed defaults to 0 \| \| Description: Sets datapoint in the simulator `http://localhost:5000/event/<event_name>/trigger` Method: POST Arguments to pass: \| Argument \| Location \| Description \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| event\_name \| in path \| any event name from MS SimConnect documentation \| \| value\_to\_use (optional) \| value to pass to the event \| \| Description: Triggers an event in the simulator Running SimConnect on a separate system.
