Prerequisites
-------------

[node.js and npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm),
Chrome (other browsers may work but they were not tested) and a
*Steam* version of MSFS.

MSFS Steam is required because we need to access html/js files in the
base install and in the MS store version the base install files are
not readable (even with admin rights).

Setup
-----

1. Run `npm install` to install dependency packages
2. Set the following configuration parameters with npm config set
msfs-websim:<param>:

* msfs_install_dir - base install dir for MSFS
(e.g. D:/steam/steamapps/common/MicrosoftFlightSimulator/)

* msfs_packages_dir - packages dir for MSFS

Run
----

1. Run `npm start`
2. Point your browser at http://localhost:8080
