Relay text messages to ACARS

[NewoIsTaken]

Hey everyone,

Would it be possible to implement something to relay a text message that comes in to the sim (FlightGear) which can then be shown in the MCDU as an ACARS message? I know this will also require work on the sim side but would it be possible to do this?

Thanks!

This is likely to be possible. All messages which are currently read out by Flightgear like private message and frequency message could be further used within other modules. This would only need some changes on Flightgear-side to make messages available to other modules. Furthermore it may need some parsing to forward/show only the relevant messages and content.

At the moment I have too little time to work on it. But I have it on my list.

If you have any idea or would like to work on it, feel free! I could assist you with that.

OK, thanks! I will poke around and see if I can figure out something.

@ltoenning I have very little experience with Qt and projects like swift so I have no idea what to do, or what I am doing... in other words... I need a good bit of help.

@ltoenning How would you like to be contacted?

[ltoenning]

As said the swift code didn't need to be touched for that. Only Flightgear side.

You can contact me via Discord (LarsT#8061) or the mail address listed in my Github profile.
