Discord Presence

Connecting to the Simulator

--Install the following--

FSTools.zip: Install by running setup.exe. Follow through the installation wizard.
XP11.FSToolsConnector.lua: Place it in your FlyWithLua scripts folder. FlyWithLua is required.

Once these are installed, just run your simulator and the main program and you're ready to roll.

Connecting a Flight Plan

Discord Presence will not display flight information without your simulator and a loaded flight plan.

To connect a flight plan manually:

  1. Make sure any active flight plans are unloaded (indicated by red text next to the callsign input box).
  2. Empty all callsign input boxes.
  3. Fill in all input boxes in the rows above the Load, Unload, and Reset Flight buttons.
  4. Click Load.

To connect a flight plan via VATSIM:

  1. File (or pre-file) a flight plan on the VATSIM network.
  2. Enter your callsign into the callsign input box.
  3. Press enter (or click Load).

Resetting the Flight Stage

When one clicks the Reset Flight button, the flight stage and statuses will reset. Active flight plans will remain active.
