Simulator Communication System

JCanaero
Simulator Communication System, or SCS, emerged from the CAN Aerospace interfaces for flightpanels.com. It consists of a common abstraction layer for simulators such as X-Plane and Microsoft ESP and a network interface using a CAN Aerospace-based layer 5-7 protocol. With SCS, programmers can develop software for flight simulators regardless of the underlying operating system or simulator. Applications neither know nor care which simulator they are talking to. APIs are provided for C, C++, Java and Python. The Java interface is also available for Android mobile devices. Check it out at cross-simulator.com.
SCS is tested by the CAN Aviation Alliance to be a valid implementation of the CAN Aerospace standard.

vasFMC

vasFMC
vasFMC is an open source glass cockpit software, offering an airbus-like Flight Management and Guidance System. It was originally a windows software for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I joined this project in late 2007, and started porting to Linux. I designed a new X-Plane interface that already had the key concepts of Simulator Communication System. Today, vasFMC is a multi-platform, multi-simulator, network-capable glass cockpit solution for both X-Plane and Microsoft FS/ESP, based on the SCS API and fully CANAerospace-compliant.
