PE Helper for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

This add-on creates a toolbar item allowing you to control the PilotEdge Client from within Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

This is a 3rd party add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and PilotEdge and thus support is not provided by Microsoft or PilotEdge.

Primary Features

• Connect and disconnect from PilotEdge
• Get ATIS for PilotEdge airports
• View Mode C status and Ident

Install

1. Install, configure, and test the PilotEdge Pilot Client for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
2. Download the latest release of PE Helper.
3. Extract the release Zip file to your Community folder.
4. Go fly!

The usage of this add-on should be mostly self explanitory if you configured and tested the PilotEdge Pilot Client in step 1.

Known Issues

• ATIS can be difficult to read. This is due to some limitations in how the PilotEdge API can be accessed from MSFS.
• It can be difficult to see if a text input box is disabled or not.
• The text input boxes sometimes have difficulty getting focus. Alt+Tab out of MSFS and then go back into MSFS. This usually fixes the issue.
• Can't tab between controls.
• The toolbar icon is ugly. I'm a developer, not an artist. :P

Credit

• Thank you to the PilotEdge team for their support during the development process and their blessing to release this add-on.
• Thanks to Felipe for his template project that gave me a running start on this project.
