Fenix change the EFB wallpaper automatically ICAO

THANKS

Check this list, section "ATC". These are all the variables that the simulator has to offer in that regard

Aircraft Radio Navigation Variables (flightsimulator.com)

TMBK there is no variable that returns the ICAO code. (A:ATC AIRLINE, String) is the best you can hope for. Or try the callsign (A:ATC ID, String)

THANKS

(A:ATC ID, String) gives me the registration of the oat, it doesn't work

I found a trick with the simbrief flight plan export in xml

it's very useful

if we have the possibility via AAO to read the airline icao code of the simbrief flight plan

the goal of the exercise is to create a condition based on the icao airline code

if icao_airline is ezy then run the script, which loads an image of the company

You can query SimBrief from within AAO and get all the information in LVars.

Enter your SimBrief credentials in the AAO "Extras" menu, then use the (LOAD_SIMBRIEF) or (LOAD_SIMBRIEF_PLAN) RPN commands. After the download has completed, you can find the LVars with "Scripts->Watch simulator variables->Select variable->Active local AAO variables" (they are all called (L:simbrief.*)

The one you are looking for is probably "(L:simbrief.general.icao_airline, String)", obtained with (LOAD_SIMBRIEF)

What for, what is the use case?

AAO has commands for file operations (read, write, copy, move, delete). Check the AAO manual, chapter "Scripting", section about "File system operations". You can use them in RPN, JScript or VBScript.

In JScript and VBScript you have additional options for file system access, but that requires a fair bit of research first (you have to utilize good old ActiveXObject class, Google will be your friend here)

Random example for file access in JScript:

var Fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var Log = Fso.OpenTextFile("LogFile.txt",2,true); //1 read, 2 write, 8 append
Log.WriteLine("Something to log");
Log.close();

I want to change the screen background of the Fenix EFB according to the icao_airline code

The files are located in the folder: C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim A320\efb\img

I just saw that when restarting the EFB it takes into account the change of the wallpaper

I wouldn't rename files in that realm. Besides, you would probably have to force a refresh of the EFB html page anyway. 

[ptimale 5]

this is a cache folder where the wallpaper is saved

I'm not taking a big risk

I have already made a powershell script that works via OFP simbrief, it's a bit crooked but it works 🙂

I would like to do it when loading the plane with AAO

I don't see a problem with that? All the necessary elements are mentioned here in the thread. Create a script that queries simbrief, waits for a bit to make sure that the result is available, then evaluates that result and renames your target file. Implement it as an Aircraft Automated Script, One Shot, Beginning.

yes no problem for that

for the moment I'm looking on Google how to rename the image in jscript and use the variable (L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String)
I don't know the language 🙂

Give me an example of what the files are called and I'll write an example for you. You don't have to use native JScript things, you can also call AAO commands from within JScript.

Or use plain RPN like this. The file names you can build dynamically using the "scat" operator

(LOAD_SIMBRIEF)·(SPLIT:2500)·
'SourceFile_'·(L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String)·scat·'.jpg'·scat·'TargetFile.jpg'·(COPYFILE:%s1|%s2)

will for example query SimBrief, wait for 2,5 seconds, then copy "SourceFile_DLH.jpg" over "TargetFile.jpg".

le fichier est "C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim A320\efb\img\EWG.jpg"
J'ai plusieurs fichiers d'arrière-plan dans ce dossier en fonction du code iCAO

si la variable (L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String) est EWG alors renommez le fichier qui porte le titre ewg en Exif en bg.jpg

Je peux vous envoyer mon script PowerShell pour comprendre le processus

(LOAD_SIMBRIEF)·(SPLIT:2500)·
'C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim A320\efb\img\'·(L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String)·scat·'.jpg'·scat·'C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim A320\efb\img\bg.jpg'·(COPYFILE:%s1|%s2)

This is pure theory though. On my computer the \img\ folder doesn't exist, so I can't test it.

MOVEFILE was the wrong command!

[ptimale 5]

the script works but if I load "EWG"
and then I load AFR it doesn't work because there is a bg.jpg file conflict

script:
Stage 1: rename the bg.jpg according to the title in title image tab
Step 2: run your script
Step 3: end of the script rename the bg.jpg with the variable (L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String)

I'm looking but you go faster than me
