feat(efb): GSX EFB Integration

Open Lucky38i opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Fixes #7894

Currently Shelved

This implementation is currently shelved until it is possible to reliably intercept EXTERNAL_SYSTEM_TOGGLE key events. This key event is necessary to know when GSX is ready to receive a menu choice and thus programatically command GSX to do commands. Both the KeyInteceptor from the Avionics Framework and the Subscriber doesn't intercept K:EXTERNAL_SYSTEM_TOGGLE either. If anyone can find a solution to do this within the extras-host feel free to let me know. However, until the SDK permits a better way for GSX to notify the sim it's ready, there's not much I can do here.

Summary of Changes

This PR provides the following features:

  • [ ] Request GSX boarding via the Payload Page
  • [ ] Request the Catering Truck via the Services Page
  • [ ] Request the Refueling truck via the Services Page
  • [ ] Page dedicated to GSX Pushback
  • [ ] Request GSX Deboarding via the Payload Page

Possible Features that I may implement

  • [ ] Call GPU
  • [ ] Support for De-Ice
  • [ ] Add GSX tooltips to the toaster container
  • [ ] Automated Features?

Screenshots (if necessary)

Videos to come when PR is ready

I assume it's not possible right now to implement the chocks again in conjunction with GSX? (to be able to release the parking brakes when docked) :-)

The FBW does hot have Chocks?! Yeah, I would consider that very important for a complete Integration 😉 (If the Chocks can be triggered on/off by L-Var, they can directly be handled by GSX - at least that was the Case in P3D)
