A Fly Dangerous telemetry UDP server that converts FD data to an Elite Dangerous Status.
It collects the raw Fly Dangerous telemetry on UDP:11000 and converts the data to the more well known Elite Dangerous Status as described on https://elite-journal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Status%20File/
This program does not do much on it's own. It's basically just a blueprint for a Node-RED Flow garnished with TypeScript to keep me sane
The exported Node-RED Flow can be found in dist/node-red-flow.json.
I wrote this to connect Fly Dangerous to my simulated home cockpit (https://SimPit.dev) to bring my status indicators and my Primary Flight Display to live when hooning around in FD.
Maybe it is of use for others too. Probably not. Anyway here goes.
For development you will need Node.js and npm.
To only use this you have to import dist/node-red-flow.json into a Node-RED Flow.
-
Just go on official Node.js website and download the installer. Also, be sure to have
gitavailable in your PATH,npmmight need it (You can find git here). -
You can install nodejs and npm easily with apt install, just run the following commands.
$ sudo apt install nodejs $ sudo apt install npm -
You can install nodejs and npm easily with dnf install, just run the following commands.
$ sudo dnf install nodejs $ sudo dnf install npm -
You can find more information about the installation on the official Node.js website and the official NPM website.
$ git clone https://github.com/bekopharm/fdudp-server
$ cd fdudp-server
$ npm install
- Launch Node-RED
- Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:1880/
- Menu => Import => path/to/dist/fdudp-server/node-red-flow.json
- Launch Fly Dangerous from your Steam library
- Options => Integrations => Enable Raw Telemetry
- Options => Integrations => Telemetry Mode JSON
- Launch any game, data should arrive in Node-RED now
Hint: Just remove the "function" after the JSON parsing to get the raw game data.
$ npm run start:dev
$ npm run start
