JavaScript (JS) instead / additional to LUA?

[joeherwig]

Hello Pete, hello John,

As Microsoft is moving clearly towards HTML and JS for gauges, mods, extensions etc. i wounder whether there are already any plans to enable also JS within the FSUIPC world.
I again struggled on with very basic tasks like array.length() etc. which is always ways more complicated in lua then in the JS world.

So in case you have any plans regarding that,... just let us know!

Best regards,

I've no idea about anything called Java or Javascript (though I know John has), but aren't these threads relevant?

I doubt whether John can consider any special developments in FSUIPC itself with so much left outstanding in the basic needs for full MSFS support.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your kind reply.
So i fully aggree, it is much more worth the effort to help us with FS2020... 🙂
But it is great to see, that there are others also using JS to work with the simulator.

Probably one of those users has any ideas how to approach it. I'll check the threads. Thanks for the links!

All the best to you and your family for 2021!

Joe
