Node InSim

Introducing Node InSim, an InSim library for Node.js with Typescript support.

At Sim Broadcasts, we are big advocates of the Web and open-source software. We wanted to develop a Node.js based InSim implementation to complement our own technology stack and to contribute something useful back to the community.

Node InSim is compatible with InSim version 9.

Installation

Install the node-insim NPM package in your Node.js application:


or if you use Yarn:


Basic Usage

To connect to an LFS server, you must enter its hostname, a port and a short name for your application.

The InSim port must be configured in the LFS server settings. Also, make sure the public IP address from which your application is connecting is allowed to connect to the server InSim port.

Quote from Basic Node InSim Usage: github.com/simbroadcasts/node-insim :

import { InSim } from 'node-insim';

const inSim = new InSim();

inSim.connect({
Host: '127.0.0.1',
Port: 29999,
IName: 'Node InSim App',
});

Version 0.10.0 released now with full OutSim support. Thanks to xspeedasx for OutSimPack2 support

Here's a demonstration video of what output can be obtained from the full OutSim packet:



OutSim code examples:
Basic (OutSimPack)
Advanced (OutSimPack2 with all options enabled)

How did you run LFS on a macOS? can you make a guide?

https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover/ is the easiest. Will run 32 bit apps as well as run on Intel or Apple Silicon.

If you know, you can use homebrew to install Crossover's fork of Wine.

This is a guide. You don't need to create the 32 bit prefix.

As you know, I tried this on Apple silicon, and it didn't work so well with LFS. I'm going to try Dustin's suggestions above.

It'll be the same. I gave it a try thinking things improved but it's the same on my M1 Pro as before.

Annoyingly, you might get better perf in Parallels (VMWare doesn't yet support 3D). I tried it a year back but I don't have an active Parallels subscription now.

I tried the free trial, and yeah, it doesn't work.
