[REQUEST] Phi panel options

Postby greenops011 » Wed Jul 13, 2022 1:42 am

So, what I’m thinking is if there was a way to display some aircraft information in the “panels” section in Phi.

Specifically,

    Fuel levels
    Speed (alphanumeric)
    Heading (alphanumeric)
    Altitude (alphanumeric)

Don’t know if this is something that is possible. Doesn’t have to be fancy (like using special GUI), could even just be basic text, but just a way to get a simple readout of the most basic critical systems and instruments.

it is certainly possible as the property tree is accessible over the web interface too.
you'd need to modify the phi code in FGDATA for that

In fact, speed, heading and altitude are already displayed in real-time on the small PFD on the right side, and IIRC there's also a fuel and payload tab.

If you open the Phi map in the browser and look at the address, it will be something like:
Code: Select all
http://localhost:5500/#Map


amend this to
Code: Select all
http://localhost:5500/props/position/altitude-agl-ft

for example, and you will get the height above ground

Looking at the source/html of this page you should be able to create your own web page that contains the values you are interested in.
