Hello HiDTH,
Had time to checkout this contribution over New Years and found it very useful.
But, as you say, a couple items could be improved.
You are on github, so I might expect you to invite others to make contributions.
But how to manage contributed updates?
Touch-Portal files are binary so the normal github pull request method does not really work.
Because no easy way to merge the changes with any work from you or others.
Did you have any ideas? I could fork the repo and send you a link?

I note, that not much can be fixed without updates from @tlewis17 so maybe I will start there.

Value of change is variable due to plug-in error or restriction

Hi,
Firstly love the template for the flight sim, it has change how I can interact it with the sim, great work.

Looking at some of your virtual keypresses that aren't using simconnect I can understand that the Flightsim needs to be the programme in focus before those virtual keypresses are accepted as MS haven't fully opened up the SDK and Simconnect functions (yet).

I use multiple screens for flying, main screen is the sim and then another two touch screen monitors are used for navigation programmes and such. If I don't return the focus to the flightsim before pressing one of the virtual keypress functions the action is missed by the sim.

Is it possible, on those buttons that are still need to use the virtual keypress, to refocus the Flightsim before the virtual keypress is sent as part of the button press action?

regards
Kev

• Installation: all updated as of today, Touch portal 2.3.010, https://github.com/tlewis17/MSFSTouchPortalPlugin
• Connection ok, all indicators, e.g. autopilot, speed, work fine
• ATC using keyboard connection works ok
• All other buttons are inactive

There is a strange line in TouchPortalPlugin github:

"Set" buttons require data to be passed in and do not currently work.

Hello, when I press on the button that redirect me to the page, it won't appear.

Normally, it should open the page but with me it is still loading and I can't use this page.

Desktop

• OS: Windows 11
• Google Chrome
• 22000.795

There are multiple confirmed reports that the background images on these pages cause issues on iPad and iPhone devices.

Symptoms include perpetual "loading" icon, poor performance (seems like nothing happens when buttons are activated), and Touch Portal crashing on the device.

To fix, remove or replace the background image using the desktop version of Touch Portal.

A fixed version of the same background graphic is available here:

Good morning,

is it possible to monitor the ground speed value and compare it against a user defined ground speed value and then automate the trigger for the Flaps extend command?

Just thinking about some form of Launch control for consistent short take offs

Engine Instrument Numbers only automatically changed when updated through mobile device. Will be fixed once complex logic statements in events are available in Touch Portal v2.3.

This is actually causing a bit of confusion for users since they end up with an old plugin version and then (some) come for support to the Discord channel. Please update (or provide some guidance if the pages do require an old plugin version).

Limitation due to lack of logic statements in actions within Touch Portal.
