ACARS
FLT SETUP
Start here. Load SimBrief and close the flight when complete.
Load OFP from saved SimBrief settings.
ACARS is green when OFP is loaded and automation is active.
FLT WATCH
Main in-flight page. Shows what AALD is watching, what message is next, and why something did or did not send.
Fast readout for what AALD thinks is happening and what to check when something does not send.
Pilot flow: load OFP → confirm Hoppie/VATSIM → let FLT WATCH work → use Status only when something breaks.
Automation explanation
SYSTEM LOG
Save Hoppie once in Setup. Callsign comes from SimBrief. Flight watch sends TELEX without tapping.
AOC POLICY
AOC POLICY
NEXT ACARS MESSAGE
Follows saved VATSIM CID first, then falls back to SimBrief callsign.
LOGBOOK
Close Flight auto-fetches TouchdownFX, records the latest landing, and triggers AOC MX if landing rate is -500 FPM or harder.
No logbook action yet.
PERF
Only the departure engine-out/runway procedure data is shown here.
DEP Runway
Aircraft Profile
TO data and landing data automation are disabled. This page is only for E/O procedure reference.
Diagnostic panel only. GSX port 8744 is a local remote control server. The iframe test is no longer primary because GSX expects a WebSocket upgrade handshake.
GSX HTTP URL
GSX WebSocket URL
Raw GSX WS Message
GSX WebSocket not tested yet.
READY
If TEST GSX WS connects, the server is reachable. If it closes or errors, we need the GSX API path/message format. No background polling is started.
Legacy iframe test only. The WebSocket handshake error means GSX is expecting WS, not an embedded HTTP frame.
SETUP
Simple saved login list for SimBrief, Hoppie, VATSIM, FSUIPC, GSX, and Pushover.
One line per login/token. SimBrief is username only. These save locally and are mirrored so updates stop wiping them.
One place for the stuff that kept disappearing. This autosaves to the browser, mirrors to backup storage, and lets you export before a new upload.

AALD responder uses AALD as the Hoppie station.
Optional shortcut source. Use SkyOps live/latest JSON if available. AALD will use this for fuel, phase, OOOI, and status replies.

Only Mini Loadsheet + Advisory Flags are sent to Pushover.
Stores your FAA NOTAM Distribution connection details for the future local AALD Companion. Do not paste/store the SWIM password here; keep the password server/local only.

Use this before every new upload. Tap EXPORT SETTINGS, copy the code, upload the new version, then paste it here and tap IMPORT SETTINGS.
Arrival gates only. Expanded for A Pilot’s Life V2-style flying. These are editable approximate AA/common gate ranges.
Generate a personal API key in TouchdownFX, paste it here, then use Post Flight to fetch your latest landing.
TouchdownFX API Key
TouchdownFX key not saved.
The company policy manual is kept as a PDF link instead of a full website page.
Only FAIL errors show here. If there are no failures, ACARS status stays good.
Phase 1 is configuration/status only. Real SWIM JMS connection must run in the local AALD Companion, not the browser.
Primary live phase source. Reads phase, position, speed, altitude, config, lights, fuel, OOOI, and approach gates from FSUIPC WebSocket.
FSUIPC WebSocket URL
Live values used for phase, OOOI, fuel, and message triggers.
Copy this after a flight so we can see what AALD saw, scheduled, sent, received, or skipped.
Pick any built-in AALD message, edit it, send a test TELEX, then save the version you like.
