Collecting links to software using Hoppie's ACARS

The original client software that I wrote several decades ago is still popular but I want to point people at more modern alternatives. For this I wrote a web page, but since Hoppie's ACARS does not collect data about the use, and especially not client software fingerprints, I am not able to populate this list just by looking at my server.

If you know of software that uses Hoppie's ACARS, please either drop me an e-mail or reply with the relevant details to this post.

Here you go Jeroen, the 2 I used so far, apart from BACARS for Aerowinx PSX :-)

Fenix A320 for MFS 2020: https://fenixsim.com/blog/entries/2021-07-12_the_fenix_simulations_airbus_a320/

Toliss A319, 21, 40 for X-Plane 11 and 12: https://toliss.com/

Haven't used it in years, but I'm pretty sure the FSL Airbus series relies on Hoppie

Yup, I can confirm that, Carl. (Or at least, it used to — AFAIK the FSL A320 is still P3D-only, hence since I junked P3D in the Summer of 2020 I can't confirm the current status).   

Cheers,

The freeware A320 FBW (an open-source A320neo expansion of the MSFS default A320neo) comes to mind.
https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/hoppie/

It covers at least the ATC/airplane interface.

Google finds more software
e.g. Loadsheet2Hoppie

Magknight 787 for X-Plane (never heard of that one before)
https://docs.magknight.org/acars/

and there seems to be much more....

Hoppie seems to be the official virtual ACARS standard in Flight Simulations. Congrats to that hoppie! Even if old, still works like a charm no matter if i use fenix or BACARS...

Fly the Maddog X by Leonardo Software House SRL for MSFS, P3Dv4 and P3Dv5 also uses it.
