Raw

fdudp-server

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.

Requirements

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.

Node

  • Node installation on Windows

    Just go on official Node.js website and download the installer. Also, be sure to have git available in your PATH, npm might need it (You can find git here).

  • Node installation on Ubuntu

    You can install nodejs and npm easily with apt install, just run the following commands.

    $ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm

  • Node installation on Fedora

    You can install nodejs and npm easily with dnf install, just run the following commands.

    $ sudo dnf install nodejs
$ sudo dnf install npm

  • Other Operating Systems

    You can find more information about the installation on the official Node.js website and the official NPM website.

Install

$ git clone https://github.com/bekopharm/fdudp-server
$ cd fdudp-server
$ npm install

Using the Node-RED flow

  • 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.

Simple build and run for development

$ npm run start:dev

Simple build and run for production

$ npm run start
