Version 0.0.2 is out! Big performance improvements thanks to threading - the framerate drops when capturing high-res regions are now fixed. The FIP should maintain a stable ~24 FPS regardless of capture resolution. This also means bilinear filtering is now recommended for better visual quality since performance is no longer an issue.

In the current state software is meant to be used with exported screens (e.g. with Helios - GitHub - Forum Post) Example of exported screens: The game renders the world view on one monitor and exported screens on the second monitor. TrackIR and mouse look only affect the world view; exported panels remain static. By using VirtualDrivers/VirtualDisplayDriver, you can add a virtual monitor to Windows, which allows you to export panels and clone them onto the FIP.

Hello DCS pilots! I'm excited to share my latest project with the community - FIPUnlocked, a software solution that brings Saitek/Logitech FIP (Flight Instrument Panel) support to games that don't natively support these devices, including DCS World. What is FIPUnlocked? FIPUnlocked is an open-source application that allows you to use your Saitek/Logitech FIP device with any game by cloning selected parts of your monitor onto the FIP's 320x240 display. It also provides keyboard emulation for the FIP's S1-S6 buttons and rotary encoders. Key Features Screen Cloning: Capture any region of your monitor and display it on FIP pages 1-6 Button Mapping: Configure S1-S6 buttons to send keyboard combinations (e.g., LShift+A, RCtrl+LAlt+E) Rotary Encoder Support: Map left/right rotary encoders to keyboard inputs Multiple Pages: Support for up to 6 different display configurations Real-time Preview: Built-in preview window to see what's being captured Performance Optimized: Minimal CPU/RAM usage Configurable in config.json Demo Video Installation & Usage 1. Download latest release from Github 2. Follow installation instructions in This ReadMe Known Limitations Cloning onto FIP maxes out at ~24 FPS Currently in alpha stage - feedback and bug reports welcome Future Plans - DCS-BIOS integration for direct input - Custom gauge/panel editor + DCS-BIOS integration for direct aircraft data - Profile system for different aircraft - Config editor within the application Download & Support GitHub Repository: https://github.com/SmokeyDev/FIPUnlocked Latest Release: https://github.com/SmokeyDev/FIPUnlocked/releases/latest Feedback & Contributions This is an open-source project, and I welcome: Bug reports and feature requests Code contributions Configuration examples and setups Performance optimization suggestions
