MSFS 2020 SkyVector Moving Map v0.0.3
MSFS 2020 SkyVector moving map
Status
Only Google Chrome is being support at this time
Releases
Version 0.0.3 has been released
Web service now forces lat/lon values to decimal point
Components
FSWebService – local web service that uses simconnect to talk to the sim (must launch as administrator)
SkyVectorMovingMap – Chrome Extension that requests position information from the web service
Install caveats
For this release you must run the webservice on the same machine as the sim and **you must launch it as Administrator**The Chrome Extension has not been released to the Chrome store so you need to load it as an unpacked extension by enabling developer mode (see included doc for details)
Is it safe to run the web service on my machine ?
Steps have been taken to secure the use of the web service:
Web service, browser, and sim must be all on same machine (IP). It is very lightweight and should not cause any frame rate issues whatssoever. If it does, please let me know immediately.
A CORS header is in place to only allow Skyvector or localhost to use the service
The service currently supports a GET only and the code will exclude anything suspicious such as injection attempts
The default port is 8001 which you can change (see comprehensive install google doc). Please be sure the port you use is not open on your router
**Please Read the Google Doc included with the release for a comprehensive guide on how to install**
