INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS
What is this?
Infinite Flight Connect Evolved is a Javascript Client for the Infinite Flight Connect API. Infinite Flight Connect is a built-in API that allows you to send command to Infinite Flight. You must enable it in Infinite Flight Settings > General > "Enable Infinite Flight Connect".
Where can I get this?
Using NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ifc-evolved
Code Docs
Initialization
init(successCallback, errorCallback)
-
successCallback
is the function to be executed after the connection has been established with Infinite Flight -
errorCallback
is the function to be executed in case of Error (20 seconds with no IF found, or data lacking an address)
Example:
const IFC = require('ifc-evolved');
IFC.init(
function() {
console.log("IFC connected");
IFC.sendCommand({ "Command": "Commands.FlapsDown", "Parameters": []});
},
function() {
IFC.log("IFC connection error");
}
)
Sending a Command
To send a command to Infinite Flight, you may use the shortcut function IFC.cmd()
or the full function for complex commands. You'll find a full list of commands on the API Docs repo
Examples:
- Flaps Down :
IFC.cmd("FlapsDown")
will lower the flaps down. (Full Command equivalent is:IFC.sendCommand({ "Command": "Commands.FlapsDown", "Parameters": []});
- Camera Move : this one require params, so let's call the full command call :
"Command": "NetworkJoystick.SetPOVState", "Parameters": [ { "Name": "X", "Value": 0 }, { "Name": "Y", "Value": 0 } ] }
Connection to ForeFlight Link API
Fore Flight Link broadcasts various data about the player's plane and traffic planes around him. ForeFlight Link must be enabled from Infinite Flight Settings > General > Enable ForeFlight Link
You can use IFC to listen to ForeFlight Link messages :
initForeFlight(onForeFlightDataReceived)
Received Data is formatted according to the official documentation : https://www.foreflight.com/support/network-gps/
Credits
Almost all of the code is from Nicolas BARTHE-DEJEAN. I was unable to locate him on the IFC or by other means. If anyone knows how to contact him, please, please let me know so I can request ownership of the original. I am now maintaining this service due to 5 years of inactivity on Nicolas Barthe Dejean's part.
