Status Page for Web Display
### image
If you want to share your current flight information you can enable a status page for web display.
This can also be used for e. g. display the current flight status on a public screen outside of the flight simulator.
Note: In the Settings module you can define where the generated web page should be placed: It can be directly outputted as web server, saved in the local file system or uploaded to a certain FTP server.
To enable or disable it again click on the corresponding check box after you clicked on the “Status Page Web” button in the bottom right of the screen.
Configuration

After the status page for web display is enabled you can configure how it should look like.
Variable Definitions

First you can define certain variables which then can be used as placeholders inside the HTML template of the web page. Start with entering a departure and arrival airport ICAO and your call sign.
By default the system displays the aircraft name provided by the flight simulator. As this is not always “nicely” formatted you have to option to force (overwrite) this name by any name you want.
HTML Template

Now you can create a custom HTML template that should be used to generate the status page. Following placeholders can be used inside the template:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
| {airport_departure} | Departure airport as specified above. |
| {airport_arrival} | Arrival airport as specified above. |
| {call_sign} | Call sign as specified above. |
| {aircraft} | Aircraft name as provided by flight simulator or specified above. |
| {latitude} | Aircraft latitude. |
| {longitude} | Aircraft longitude. |
| {current_state} | Current aircraft state: This can be either “Parking”, “Taxi” or “In Flight”. |
| {remaining_distance} | Remaining distance to arrival airport. |
| {eta} | Estimated time of arrival (ETA) on arrival airport. |
| {altitude_msl} | Aircraft altitude above mean sea level (MSL). |
| {altitude_agl} | Aircraft altitude above ground level (AGL). |
| {airspeed_indicated} | Aircraft indicated speed (IAS). |
| {airspeed_true} | Aircraft true speed (TAS). |
| {outside_temperature} | Outside air temperature. |
There is a default HTML template provided which shows how to use these placeholders and even how to show the current aircraft location on Google Maps. A status page generated by the default template looks like this:

You can customize to your needs then.
