Hi, as skyvector disabled embedding their site through an iframe you currently wont be able to use it as a toolbar. You can still "use" it with some other software mirroring windows into your vr environment like OVRdrop (https://store.steampowered.com/app/586210/OVRdrop/) or some oculus stuff I am currently not aware of ;-)

The nlm plugin worked for me. Just remember to switch on the webserver in lnm! And yes, you should be able to see the planned route on the map as well as all the other things (like waypoints, airspaces, ...) just like you see them in the lnm main window.

Regarding the crashes: I have no glue. Whatever I made during developing my own toolbars the worst thing I got was that all toolbars disapeared. But the sim never crashed.


Falls dir die deutsche Sprache mehr zusagt, könn wir uns gern mal zusammentun. Bin selbst grad am Toolbar basteln (also meist Abends).

hello,

Thx for your fast answer.

Do you have a tutorial to bind the lnm site in your toolbar?

Many thx

bergziege commented 3 years ago

Tutorial? There already is a ready to use toolbar plugin for lnm: https://github.com/bymaximus/msfs2020-toolbar-little-nav-map Just follow the instructions in the readme. And remove the "Build" folder once you copied the plugin. And dont forget to turn the webserver on in lnm. Otherwise you will have a blank toolbar window.

Hi, I now think I know what you mean. Do you want to have the flightplan in text/table form?

grafik

As this is already available from the lnm webserver flightplan.html page, it should not be too difficult to just show it in a toolbar. BUT, as I fly vr myself, this fairly large/wide table would be absolute unusable in the cockpit as you have to increase the text size to make it readable and therefore increase the toolbar window size spanning a large portion of your cockpit.

A better but not instant solution would be to parse the lnm flightplan page and use the raw data to show in a way thats fullfills the needs of not beeing too large but containing all relevant data. By saying so, I think we should be transfer this as a feature request for the lnm toolbar (https://github.com/bymaximus/msfs2020-toolbar-little-nav-map/issues) and not the template.

... or start coding ourself.


Man I wish lnm had a web api ;-)
