Firstly, I wanted to really thank you for your great work. I consume the application full-screen on a secondary monitor and it's really great. I should say, I'm using a modified version, for the following:

Have you considered adding automatic reconnects to the Flight Sim? Basically, a naïve way would be to simply keep on polling until a SimConnect connection can be made, and instead of disconnecting when the Flight Sim stops, simply go back to polling, until user closes the hosting application. This would allow the user to start the application and web page just once, before even starting the Flight Sim, and stop it when they've decided to stop playing the game altogether (or let it run until they play next or shut down Windows).

I've modified the application in this way for my own purposes, although I would not consider my changes to be robust enough to be released (nor would I be sure everyone wants it - perhaps an option would be useful). Certainly, the requirement to only start it after having the Flight Sim reach a certain point in its loading process isn't that user-friendly.

Regardless, I really appreciate this project!
