# msfs-server
**EARLY PROTOTYPE, UNDER DEVELOPMENT**
Web server, **using blazor and net8**, that connects via simconnect to MSFS 2020 and serves a web page that shows a moving map and instruments.
You need [.NET 8.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0) install at least : .NET Desktop Runtime \ x64
The port number of the web server is defined in appsettings.json (default = 5002)
The web server URL and any error messages can be found in log.txt
**This project requires an MQTT broker:**
All collected data from MSFS is also sent to an MQTT broker.
The MQTT connection Settings are located in appsettings.json.
**Note that the MQTT data is not sent, until a connection is made with the web server first.**
You need to create an account on https://www.openaip.net and then create your own api key on https://www.openaip.net/users/clients#tab-clients
You then need to edit the file \wwwroot\js\config.js and update the openaip api key and AIRAC number :
```
var config = {
// https://www.openaip.net/users/clients#tab-clients
OPENAIP_KEY: "xxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzz",
// AIRAC 2313 = europe, see https://www.openflightmaps.org/ed-germany/ top right. Changes monthly !!!
AIRAC : "2313"
}
```
The 8.8 inch touch screen, in above picture, is connected to a raspberry pi.

note that espMqttClient.h references this specific library:
https://github.com/bertmelis/espMqttClient
The heading indicator requires dial.bmp and plane.bmp to be uploaded to SPIFFS
These bitmaps have 8-bit colors
