To help with finding window titles for CAPTURETOFIP or the WINDOW... commands, AAO has a special dialog:
Tools->Show all current windows It is possible to just use the beginning of the process name or window title, as long as it is unique. If there are more windows with the same name (for example when you pop out MSFS instruments, they are all called "WASMINSTRUMENT"), you can append an index to the name: (CAPTURETOFIP:WASMINSTRUMENT~0|... (CAPTURETOFIP:WASMINSTRUMENT~1|... etc.

Using CAPTURETOFIP you can stream the pop-out instruments of the MSFS sims elsewhere. Naturally, people were asking about how to pop them out automatically - this can be done with AAO commands. Here is a script that I use to pop out, rename, reposition and resize the MCDU of the A320 V2 (MSFS2024). This script does the following: - Move the cockpit view to the pedestal - position the mouse cursor over the MCDU screen (the numbers in VMOXY assume a 4K full screen setup) - Hold down the right ALT key, send two mouse clicks, release the ALT key - This will pop out the screen - Then it renames the new window, then moves it to 250,250 and resizes it. (you could also move it off screen, to 10000, 10000, to get it out of the way. - Finally, the view is reset. The script will take several seconds to complete. There are many SPLIT commands slowing it down to a pace that MSFS can keep up with. Please do not interfere while it is running, otherwise the virtual keys and clicks can go wrong.

The focus is currently on the new CAPTURETOFIP feature and the EFB app for MSFS 2024. I will upload a few examples of how I am using it, that you can adapt to your own use cases. In general, the purpose of CAPTURETOFIP is to grab any window on your desktop and stream the contents to an AAO asset. These could be AAO Gauges, displaying that window, an AAO webpage or even the StreamDeck. AAO gauges can be accessed via web, so you can effectively stream any desktop window you like to your phone or tablet - or the new AAO app for the default MSFS 2024 EFB. Here are a few examples, from left to right: - streaming my web browser window displaying the AAO manual PDF - streaming the StreamDeck app window - accessing one of the AAO interactive audio checklist web pages And here are a few UserGauges and a WebPage using CAPTURETOFIP. The WebPage is displaying the A320 V2 MCDU, remember to pop it out first! ![]()
