Pop-up display that works with FSEconomy X-Connect client. VR friendly!

Requires FlyWithLUA NG

Requires the official X-Connect client for FSEconomy for X-Plane

This is not an official add-on and is not supported by the FSEconomy people. Do not ask them for support. This is a hobby project that works for me. It might also work for you.

If you're not sure what FSEconomy is then check out this site: http://www.fseconomy.net

=================================================================================================

This is a little pop-up HUD that interacts with the FSEconomy client. It does everything the client does: log in; start flight; cancel flight; end flight but it has some differences:

It will automatically log into FSE for you

It will automatically start a flight for you

It will automatically end the flight for you

You no longer need to even think about interacting with the FSE client. It happens automatically. This HUD is best suited for pliots that fly FSE and only FSE.

The HUD is hidden by default and appears when you mouse over the little black lines on the left side of your screen. It will disappear again when you mouse away. You can also click the bottom panel (where the fuel stats are) to toggle the HUD to be always on or always off.

The HUD gives audible alerts if the above automatic functions fail for some reason. This means people using VR googles are instantly alerted so they can take action if that's important.

Installation

Download RAR file and unzip

Place the FSE_HUD.lua file into the FWL Scripts directory

Place the tf_common_functions.lua file into the FWL Modules directory

Start a new session of X-Plane

How to use

If you're an existing FSE & X-Plane user then you'll know how to use this HUD. It needs to be used AS WELL as the official FSE X-Connect client. It won't work on it's own.

You can manually connect, start and end flight but if you fail to do this, then the HUD will do it for you. NOTE: If you crash before your destination, the HUD will auto-end the flight for you. If you land off-airport or enroute - the HUD will end your flight for you (you have a 10 second grace period to cancel the flight). This might mean FSE puts you in a location you didn't intend.This is intentional design.

NOTE TO VR USERS : VR users won't see the interface with VR goggles on. That's okay - everything will happen without your interaction. You will hear an audible alert if some fails IF YOU HAVE ATC VOICE TURNED ON. If you have ATC voice turned off - then no audio alerts.

=====================================================================================================

Known issues:

The fuel use reported in kilograms is correct but the conversion to FSE gallons is a little bit inaccurate.

Occassionally the fuel useage will report zero kgs/gallons. The plane IS using fuel - the HUD just doesn't report it sometimes.

Roadmap:

Nothing planned

Teddii for providing the inspiration when he developed his script all those years ago.

FSEconomy, X-Connect client and everything else related to FSEconomy belongs to the fine folk over there. Do not ask them to support this script.

Anyone has permission to adjust or change my script for their own purposes. Support can be requested on this forum.
