Go Language with FSUIPC

[AndrewMoneron]

Good Day Pete

Is it possible to talk with FSUIPC/WideFS with Go Lang?

Preferably want to talk from linux. Reason I ask is that I am writing some Glass Cockpits that run can run on a pie in opengl and Go Language.

If you can implement the interface correctly, I don't see why not. Do you have access through it to Windows APIs? Study the C/C++ source provided for the interface in the SDK.

Well, there's no WideClient implemented for Unix, and there's no documentation for the WideFS TCP or UDP data formats used.

You'd need to write a Windows-based server program to run on the FS PC (or a WideClient networked PC), which interfaces to FSUIPC (or SimConnect), and then talk to it over the Network from your "pie" using whatever protocol you need.
