MSFS 2020 SkyVector moving map A moving map that connects MSFS 2020 to SkyVector. A preview of it working can be found [Here]

Status

Only Google Chrome is being support at this time
*Users have reported that other Chromium based browsers also support it
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.com 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**

I'm getting CTD's that occur randomly at any point throughout a flight using this. It throws up a .net handling exception when it crashes. Tried an empty community folder to make sure it was definitely this app. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? (Latest Google Chrome, also tried Edge)

Works well but in my case I need it to work on a remote PC...which it currently doesn't from what I have tried and googled... maybe/hopefully in future releases... but other wise it's good stuff!

I did everything it said but this doesn't work for me 😞

It says Connected to Sim then nothing happens. I ran it as Administrator, yes

I made it work but now on Skyvector it shows my my route destination as the plane's location. How can I fix this?

MoMadenU 11 month(s) ago

If you have no route loaded and just fly, is the icon tracking your location on SkyVector?

I'am surprised I had not let a message before. This app is a must. I cannot do without. This app is a very bad news for Navigraph. I am not shure at all I will renew my subscription.

Excellent app. I have always wondered why there was not an app to be able to use SkyVector as a moving map - now we have such an app thanks to you.
One question - Is it normal that after you shut down your flight and MSFS, the WebService still shows the sim as connected and therefore the SkyVector map still displays the aircraft icon?

Really good work. I remember having something similar in FS9 many years ago. Aircraft symbol is a little big for my liking, but that doesn't stop me using it. Superb.

Very nice, in the PC it works! But do you have any idea, how to see position on Android Chrome in tablet. It would be nice to have full Sky Vector navigation in the hand 😊

Hi leoxi,
how did you manage the connection?
I have the flightsim running on one machine and want to run chrome with SkyVector on my laptop.
I only found the port but were can I enter the IP?
Thanks
Rudy

leoxi 1 year(s) ago

Hi Rudy,
edit the moving-map-content.js in line 74 and replace "localhost" with the IP of your host running FSWebService.exe.
Don't forget to check your firewall.
Happy flying!

Rudy1102 1 year(s) ago

Hi Leoxi,
I changed the URL like your post but I still don't have the arrow like running both on the same machine. Trying to call the function "http://myhost:8001/get?position" directly I'm getting the right position but SkyVector doesn't show it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ciao
Rudy

leoxi 1 year(s) ago

Hi Rudy,
did you re-install the extension after changing the URL?
Also try to clear the cache of chrome (CTRL+F5).

Good luck,
leoxi

Rudy1102 1 year(s) ago

Hi Leoxi,
unfortunately it is not working.
I do not understand why the fuction get Position is working, if you'll call it directly and the add in isn't.

leoxi 1 year(s) ago

Hi Rudy,
as you call skyvector.com a hint at the address bar is appearing, because the plugin is recognised as an unsecure script. You have to allow the script to be loaded anyway.

Happy flying!

great addition man, thank you very much. Could you make a version with open flight maps data as well. It would be grat for people in Europe.

Hi, just installed this useful add-on, but so far I can see a window stuck on a "Starting Web Service on port 8001...", but nothing happens. Thanks for any help & regards, Of course any .exe file ran as admin.
