Plugin for vPilot to Pushover vPilot and Hoppie messages

vPilot Pushover

Relay vPilot and Hoppie messages to your mobile device via Pushover.
Hoppie is integrated directly, meaning you can use any aircraft with this plugin.

Have also a look at my other projects at my homepage: https://blt950.com

Prerequisites

1. vPilot that you use to connect to VATSIM
2. Pushover app on your device and subscription
3. Creating your own Pushover API key which is for your personal use

Pushover has a 30-day trial you can try out before you pay the one-time $5 for a lifetime subscription. You can use Pushover to much more than this plugin, the subscription is in no way tied to this plugin

Installation

1. Make sure your vPilot is not running
2. Download the latest release .zip only from the releases page
3. Extract the zip file and move both vPilot-Pushover.dll and vPilot-Pushover.ini to your vPilot plugin folder, usually C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\vPilot\Plugins
4. Open vPilot-Pushover.ini in a text editor and configure your desired settings
5. When you start vPilot you should now get an "Connected. Running version x.x.x" push notification. If not, see troubleshooting below.

Troubleshooting

I don't receive any connected notification

• Make sure you have placed the plugin in the correct folder, usually like this C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\vPilot\Plugins\vPilot-Pushover.dll and .ini in the same folder.
• Your Windows might have blocked the .dll file. This is because the .dll is not code-signed as it's a hobby project and I don't have $200/yearly to purchase a verification. Before you unblock the file, check it with your antivirus or upload it to VirusTotal. If you're comfortable to proceed, right click on the vPilot-Pushover.dll, open Properties, unblock and apply to allow vPilot to load the plugin.
