FlyWithLua auto-install: bridge drops fms-sync/ui-sync/terrain-probe into X-Plane's FlyWithLua Scripts dir on startup and self-updates (content-compare). Graceful when no X-Plane / no FlyWithLua. /api/lua/install + status in health. Desktop app bundles the scripts and passes LUA_SRC_DIR to the sidecar. Smoothing: shared useEased/useEasedAngle hook (api/ease.js) with render-bail on settle. VFR steam gauges now interpolate to 60fps instead of stepping at the ~10Hz value stream. MFD ownship no longer vibrates — position/heading eased in a single rAF loop, follow-pan without animated-panTo pile-up (pauses on range zoom). Airspace overlay: server/airspace.js loads per-region GeoJSON, classifies (B/C/D/TMA/CTR/MOA/Restricted/Prohibited/Danger), bbox query, and downloads regions on demand — FAA (US, key-free) and OpenAIP (Europe, user key). New AIRSPACE softkey draws chart-coloured boundaries (B blue, C magenta, D dashed), non-interactive so map-clicks still drop waypoints. Launcher gains a "Lufträume" section to pick/download regions via the running bridge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# FlyWithLua companion — FMS two-way sync
|
|
|
|
X-Plane's Web API can't write a flight plan into the FMS. `fms-sync.lua` runs
|
|
inside X-Plane (via FlyWithLua, which has the FMS SDK) and syncs the shared
|
|
cockpit plan ↔ the in-sim FMS through two files in `Output/fms-sync/`.
|
|
|
|
## Install (sim PC only)
|
|
|
|
1. Install **FlyWithLua NG+** (free): copy its plugin folder into
|
|
`<X-Plane>/Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/`.
|
|
2. Start the bridge (desktop app or `node server/bridge.js`) **on the same PC**
|
|
as X-Plane. On startup it auto-copies these three scripts into
|
|
`<X-Plane>/Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/Scripts/` and keeps them up to date
|
|
on every launch (it only writes changed/missing files):
|
|
- **`fms-sync.lua`** — flight-plan two-way sync
|
|
- **`ui-sync.lua`** — G1000 UI state (page / range / inset)
|
|
- **`terrain-probe.lua`** — terrain-awareness elevation grid for the MFD
|
|
3. In X-Plane: *FlyWithLua → Reload all Lua script files* (or restart).
|
|
The log shows `[glass-cockpit] FMS sync active`.
|
|
|
|
No manual copying needed. If you install FlyWithLua *after* the bridge is
|
|
already running, trigger a re-install without restarting via
|
|
`POST /api/lua/install`. The current install state is reported under `lua` in
|
|
`GET /api/health`. The bridge must run on the **same PC** as X-Plane so both see
|
|
`<X-Plane>/Output/fms-sync/`. (The auto-install honours `LUA_SRC_DIR` — the
|
|
desktop app sets it to the bundled scripts; otherwise it finds `plugins/` itself.)
|
|
|
|
## What you get
|
|
|
|
- **App → Sim:** load/build a plan in the web cockpit → it appears in the 3-D
|
|
G1000 and the autopilot can fly it.
|
|
- **Sim → App:** build/edit the plan in the real FMS → it shows on every tablet.
|
|
- **Terrain:** the MFD TERRAIN map colours real scenery elevation red/yellow
|
|
relative to your altitude (probed live by `terrain-probe.lua`).
|
|
|
|
A 3-decimal lat/lon signature de-dupes the round-trip, so the two sides never
|
|
loop. Waypoints are pushed as lat/lon legs (exact route; in-sim idents are
|
|
generic — route accuracy over cosmetics).
