Index page

The index page is just displaying a QR-Code so that you can easily open the portable-sim-panels with your mobile device by just using your camera or any qr-code scanner app.

Additionally you'll see that the index-page lists you the available panels you already have configured within your panels.json configuration file.

Selecting the right panel

The index page has - and each panel html should link a small script - that ensures, that on changing the vehicle within your simulator the panel with the best fit is loaded.

Then the proper panel is loaded on vehicle / livery-change automatically.

It loads from the panels.json the available paths and on receiving a "selected vehicle TITLE" it tries to find the panel folder which fits best. So FSLabs A320 CFM Thomas Cook D-AJHW Livery would load from the available folders the Airbus A320 Panel, no matter, which registration or livery you have.

panels.json

The panels.json is used to list all panels you want to have available within your system. Each entry should point to the path underneath the panels\ folder. You really need to be sure, to have the folder on your file system and the corresponding name written exactly the same. If you're using my portable-sim-panels-fsuipc-server, the panels.json can be generated automatically on startup, with listing all folders (panels) underneath the panels folder.
