LockOn Info G15 V2.0

program features:

- This program version 2.0 is now compatible with the Logitech LCD Manager

- Export and display navigation data on the G15-keyboard display.

- Export and display power setting

- Export and display the autopilot modus

- Export and display remaining fuel (internal and external)

- Calculate fuel per minute consumption.

- Calculate bingo fuel value depending of the manual selected airfield and current power setting, based on calculated fuel per minute and TAS (I know it should be the ground speed, but I donґt know how to export the ground speed if possible or the wind values). The bingo fuel contains 10% more fuel than calculated, round up in 50kg or 100lb steps.

- Calculate bearing and distance to selected airfield. You can choose any airfield for getting bearing and distance, particular interesting for US planes. The bearing means the direct way to the airfield (middle of the runway) and not the return point.

- Calculate bearing and distance to bullseye. The longitude and latitude value of the bullseye can be changed within the GUI.

- Export and display warning lights if there are system malfunctions

- After starting the program it will be minimized to the task bar. Double click onto the icon will display the program information screen. Right click on the icon will close the program.

edit:

The bearing value tells you only the direction where you would see the bullseye from your position. For a correct position report you have to add or subtract 180°.

e.g.: Display: "B|R : 210 | 20 nm" => position report "bullseye bearing 030 20 miles"

There is a new program version.

New in 2.1

- The modified bullseye values can be saved in file

- It is possible to choose if you want the bearing value from or to the bullseye

Download: program version 2.1

How do you export the aircraft position, Balu?

Bullseye will not work for most online flying on the servers out there if you are using exports that are blocked on some servers.

It´s right, that if the server don´t export anything I don´t get the latitude and longitude values of my plane. The bullseye values will be set in the program.

Position export would certainly be AWESOME of it was possible. I could generate a HSD view like that one oyu have in Falcon4. Maybe this will be something I can play around with.

Otherwise I could set them before, and if I could extract changes in positional data from the game, I could use this to generate the hsd situation....That would be truely nice to have on a second monitor :). My friend has been wanting this for a while, but I simply dont know where to get the data from.

edit : an ugly but pretty cool solution would be an OpenGL 3d app running on second monitor that takes LUA input among others...You could get a 3dimensional positional view....that would look pretty cool, being able to look around ^^,

I did something similar a while back, but it was just some spheres and stuff spinning around.

Yeah, you could try to build an INS, but I bet you it would drift pretty quick.

hello nice soft.

I do the same job, if you waht to have a look

Thanks Skippy

Yes, I know your tool because your export file and tool has been the basic position and inspiration for my tool, so that I thought it would be nice to display if the airbrake is in or out. Unfortunatly ist not possible to export this value. :cry:

You are right, but If you can read the keyboard and the key "B" but I have not the code to do that.

If you need my source code, just tell me.

I don't know we can use the m keys

Yep, reading the beyboard would help and reading the keyboard atself is not the problem but Iґm using a joystick button for the airbreak (X52-Pro) and this device is emulating the Key "B". So if you canґt export the values by LUA you have no chance to write a program that is independent of the hardware.

As far as I know you are using a C++ (Visual C ?) and my program is written with Delphi but thanks for your offer for source code.

For using the M-Keys I adopted a Delphi component that someone (Thunderstruck) has written. This component delivers all G15 special key events.

Yeah, you could try to build an INS, but I bet you it would drift pretty quick.

My ins uses magnetically suspended gyroscopes in vacuum! Foolproof!

I used the Visual C++ builder

Im having trouble getting v2.0 to work on my dell m1730, it has the logitec game panel, but it wont come up, do u have an istall guide for dummies?

thanx :)

hi

This version of the G15 Info tool use the logitech lcd manager. Is this program running and is the logitec game panel of this notebook the same as the G15 keyboard?

Installation:

●Copy the LockOnInfoG15.lua file into the export directory.

●Copy the following line into the last line of the export.lua in ..\Lock On\Config\export\dofile("./Config/export/LockOnInfoG15.lua")

●Start the program. The program use port 7070 for communication with LockOn.

The actual version 2.1.2

righto, got it working, but hit and miss :s, ill work out the kinks and let u know.. is there any way to make the text slimmer, as it appears thick and blocky, G15 v1.3 by skippy had a good font size balance..

Nice that it works.

As font I use Tahoma with font size 7. With this font the display object convert the information into a bit display where I have no control in which way the conversion will be done. If I would use a bigger font size like 8 or 9 I could only display 3 rows with infos like skippys tool. I have tried it also with arial, but this font waste a lot of place in the horizontal direction.

Hi im trying to get this to work but i dont know what im doing wrong...

I copied the LockOnInfoG15.lua file to the export folder

now i dont know what exact line to copy where...

can u pls paste the exact line to put in the export.lua

because "Copy the following line into the last line of the export.lua in ..\Lock On\Config\export\dofile("./Config/export/LockOnInfoG15.lua")"

means nothing to me... i have no idea what to copy where

thx

Hi FuSiOn

my export.lua file has only two lines.

dofile("./Config/export/tacview.lua")

dofile("./Config/export/LockOnInfoG15.lua")

If you are using the orginal export.lua file open this file with an editor, go to the last line of the text and copy this line

dofile("./Config/export/LockOnInfoG15.lua")

at this position.

i did that and nothing happens

i cant see any info on my lcd

all i see is blank spaces for speed alt and all that...

and btw export script is on true..

You have to start the program before you press the button "fly".

Are you using a firewall on your desktop pc? If yes you must allow the port 7070 for comunication between lockon and the G15 Tool.

Are there other export scripts running with ip-comunication?

WORKS fixed it

i had a space between dofile and the rest of the file name

btw how do i check fuel flow rates?

The ZIP-File should contain a PDF File where the functions are described. :smilewink:

If you are in the NAV-Screen - Display und can switch between total fuel quantity, external fuel quantity, fuel flow rate

and bingo fuel value by pressing the Play/Pause button of the G15 keyboard. The bingo fuel value will only be calculated if you have selected an airfield.

Greatings BALU!

After my testing Lockon info 2.1.2 on my G15 Refreshed version (Revision 2 with orange backlite), I found that all Fonts on the LCD Screen are extremely bold. A can't read anything. Do you know how to fix it?

TIA

Solution: in windows screen properties unselect "ClearType" font smoothing

awesome proggy - thanks! Just a note for 1st time users: the 2-1-2 version requires the previous version to run.
