What is the JLS Sim Panel SDK?

The Jet Link Simulations (JLS) Sim Panel Software Developers Kit (SDK) is a library used to create and display aircraft flight instruments on the web. The SDK allows users to replicate the flight panels of various aircraft using a generic set of tools and customize them to suit their needs. It is written in JavaScript / Node.js and communicates with flight simulator clients over a network connection.

The Sim Panel SDK (SPSDK) was created by Jet Link Simulations.

Compatibility

At the moment, the SPSDK only has direct support for X-Plane. By "direct support" we mean that we have only created tools to retrieve data from X-Plane. However, the SPSDK is completely abstracted from X-Plane and can work with any flight simulator as long as the correctly formatted data fed to the web application.

Table of Contents

These docs aims to provide you with complete overview of how to use the JLS API; it includes images, code examples, and other items to help you. Note that documenting code is an ungoing process and things are always changing so the documentation will reflect many changes overtime and will be versioned to match any released version of the SDK. If there are any sections that you feel needs improvement, please request it describing what you'd would like to see.

The docs are broken into the following:

Getting Started

Provides a quick explanation of the SPSDK to new users, setup instructions, and answers commonly asked questions.

Guides

Provides detailed examples on implementing various features of the SPSDK.

API Reference

Provides detailed information about the SPSDK API, network data formats, and other information useful to developers.
