Hi all,
I've read the most easily-findable documentation on using the HTTP server but I'm still not sure where to start with a project. Maybe someone could help me out with some suggestions?
Basically, I'd like to be able to control certain aspects of the FG Video Assistant from a web page rather than using dialogs in the sim. To begin with, and as a learning experience, I'm going to focus on one particular function - having a list of the current MP pilots appear in an HTML page, where each callsign is a link and clicking that link changes the selected pilot in the video assistant's camera system. I'm pretty sure changing the selected pilot is as simple as changing a string property, which I know can be done via HTTP. I suspect it's not a tricky thing to do, and perhaps I can figure most of it out by looking at the source code from web pages provided by the FG HTTP server, but I thought it would be worth asking before I start in case anybody had good ideas about the best way to go about it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
