SDVFR GPS app IOS and Android

Postby flydaddit » Tue May 19, 2020 8:21 pm

Hello,

SDVFR is an application available on android and IOS.
It can be interfaced with flightgear via the foreflight-xgps.xml protocol file found in the Protocol folder of FGdata.

Add an option at the start of FG
--generic = socket, out, 1,255.255.255.255,49002, udp, foreflight-xgps

In the options of SDVFR activate Simulator Mode.

Track your flight in a GPS and record the track.

Enjoy.

This is a really cool find. Unfortunately the iOS app is in French. I can't figure it out.

Hey all,

This solution now also works with Enroute Flight Navigation for Android:
https://akaflieg-freiburg.github.io/enroute/

A stable connection however can only be established if the httpd-server for Phimap is running on port 8080. (should be the case anyway)

--generic=socket,out,1,255.255.255.255,49002,udp,foreflight-xgps
--httpd=8080

The app is very reliable, clean, translated in multiple languages and maps are available for most developed countries.

Cheers,

did that.... and, hmmm... nothing happened, SDVFR remains on my actual position, not the position of the plane.....

i tryed replacing the broadcast address with the address reported by SDVFR as beeing its own, no change...
