MSFS / FSUIPC 7 compatibility

[Flusinerd]

Any chance this gets updated to work with MSFS and FSUIPC v7
Im building an cross sim acars, so I would greatly benefit from this.
If I can get some hints, I might be able to do it myself and create a PR.

Hi @Flusinerd I'm currently reviewing the documentation for FSUIPC new gen. A lot of offsets have moved. I am still waiting for a more stable offset list from FSUIPC and was not able to find an up to date list of offset address and potential new entries. If we get some list, continuing this would be a breeze.

Okay ty for the quick response. I managed to track down the issue to it not connecting due to the unknown simulator. I managed to "fix" it by calling the globalInstance.open() method without any parameters. This way it connects to any simulator also including fusipc v7. This works for me, since the offsets I use don't seem to have changed.

This is my hacky fix:

Do you want to open a PR for this? It could do the trick while testing new offsets.

[Flusinerd]

Sure :)

I created a pull request for the fsuipc node module. This adds MSFS to the Simulators enum.
Once this gets merged, we can go back to the default behavior.

If original fsuipc node module owner doesn't merge, we could fork the core module on our scope and create a @fsuipc/core package. You would just have to point your pull request to https://github.com/fsuipc-node/core
