Traffic broadcast to local network

Matias Zaya Mendez — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 15:08:00 +0000

Hi, I love the possibility of connecting the flight sim to easyvfr to get the plane on the app. Now, would it be possible to create a feature that, in the same manner, the GPS coordinates are broadcasted by the PC, would broadcast any traffic visible on the app screen, so the sim could pick it up and display it? I'm not asking for the sim part, just the broadcast of the traffic seen on easyvfr's screen to the local network in a similar manner (part from GPS coordinates, the identifier would be needed). This would help make simming even more realistic!

Thanks!

Hi, I use flightgear as my flight simulator of choice. I've added support to send data to easyVFR, you can find more info here:

Do not hesitate to ask for more info!

@Ubi Sumus: version that redirects actual serial stream from FLARM

Bernhard Daenzer — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 20:13:26 +0000

@Ubi Sumus:

can't find any contact info for you directly, so i try via this forum ;-)

For stability reasons, i want to go back to the wired / rs232 to USB adapter setup in the airplane (with EV4 running on a windows machine). The USB to Serial adapter is connected to a hardware FLARM. However, EV4 still does not support direct COM / serial access (or output), and it will probably take some more time until this arrives...

Based on your FSConny, it would be quite easy to come up with a version that retransmits a Com Port Serial stream to EV4 / localhost, instead of using the flightsim as source and faking the stream?! That could be quite a nice additional use case, running the tool locally on the same windows PC as EV4.

I'd be glad to support the development.

Condor2 interface NMEA output

Piet Lodder — Sat, 27 Jan 2024 21:04:21 +0000

Is it possible to make the condor2 bluetooth NMEA output available as input for the EasyVFR app.

This make get used to it, and make more pilots aware of the ease of safety and getting aquinted with it in a safe and simple way.

Many gliderpilots, for whom easyvfr is usefull, will have condor 2.

Video Tutorials - FSConny for MSFS2020 - X-Plane and Prepar3D connectivity improved

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to drop in and share some cool stuff we've been working on with Ubi Sumus and EasyVFR 4.

New Tool: FSConny for MSFS2020
We've got this new tool called FSConny. It makes EasyVFR 4 work better with MSFS2020. The coolest part? You can now see the traffic from MSFS2020 right in EasyVFR 4. It’s pretty neat and makes things feel more real.

Updates for All Simulators
And it’s not only for MSFS2020. We’ve improved EasyVFR 4 for all the simulators we support. We wanted to make your sim flying smoother and more fun.

Youtube Video
We also made a video to show you how to use your simulator to act like a GPS for EasyVFR 4. It’s handy for practicing real flights or just flying in the sim. You should definitely check it out.

Documentation and Downloads
All the info, downloads for FSConny, and the video are over at https://easyvfr4.aero/sim

Hope you enjoy these updates as much as we do. Happy flying and happy holidays!

Cheers,
Tim

Alternative for Xconn (plug to msfs2020)

m3duzas — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 10:30:28 +0000

Is there any working freeware alternative app for Xconn when connecting to msfs2020?

I've been using Xconn for a while but ever since refreshing rate is low and above all it is droping connection with EV4 very often. It is just annoying.

I tried out other software like "fs2ff" or "MSFS 2020 GPS Link" but despite both send packets on the same UDP port 49002, EV4 doesn't see a thing.

BTW fs2ff was my main connectivity app for skydemon and it worked flawlessly. With Xconn it is less reliable performance.

Thanx

Regards

Xplane

Bultel Nicolas — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 13:39:54 +0000

Hello,

Can we use easyvfr 4 with xplane 11 ?

How can we connect ipad to see the plane on the application ?

Thank you

Nicolas

MSS2020 connection

Peter Bleekemolen — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 10:22:16 +0000

Tried out EasyVR4 or the first time today and though I've been looking aroung in the settings, I cannot find an option to connect to MSFS2020. I'm running EASYVFR4 on the same computer (W10 Pro) as the Simulator. EasyVR3 is running fine i.c.w. XConn.

Still unusable - missing connectivity to emulated FLARM

Jan Benes — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:16:09 +0000

Hello, I have checked EasyVFR 4 after long time and it looks much better. I would also use it! :-) But will not :-(

The reason is, for flight safety I use emulated FLARM device on EVFR3, that sends FLARM NMEA data on IP port 2000 and it does not work. I also have hardware emulated FLARM device, that receives GPS data sent from EVF3 at 255.255.255.255:2001 and sends NMEA to EVFR3 at 192.168.2.1:2000. That does not work either in EVFR4 because there is no GPS sharing settings in EVFR4.

So I will still stick with EVFR3, because it shows me nearby traffic and even exact location of other traffic on map, just with use of short python script that sends all data to EVFR3 at 127.0.0.1:2000.

Connecting to X-Plane

Bjornar Svingen — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 05:03:19 +0000

Is it possible to connect EVFR4 to X-Plane?
