Crossintegration of plugins

Hey Juha,

I would like to know if it's possible to access any variable flags made by TopSky on CJI, altitude filtering, and CPDLC status (logged in, downlink, uplink states) from 3rd party plugin? I.e. If Topsky has been flagged as CJI filtered, I would like to gather this info elsewhere.

Hi,

it is not possible to query the state of the filters. Possibly in the future, but not before Gergely gets finished with the new EuroScope plugin API (or it becomes clear that it won't be available in any reasonable amount of time). The CPDLC state is currently available in one of the flight strip boxes - "/cpdlc/" for logged on for example and various other formats for message status, but I'm not planning to keep the information there in future versions. The problem is that the plugin must be able to assume the data is not altered by the controller or another plugin, and it can't really keep expecting that with more and more plugins being developed. I will look at a possibility to query for that information as well.

Juha Holopainen (839337) so it's not possible to i.e. share the filtered traffic to some sort of txt/json, because it would get locked very often, and filtered aircraft are not marked in any way in flight strip annotations? I have a custom tag items and when using filters from topsky, my items won't disappear.

That's correct.
