laxentis Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I began working on a (rather simple) utility made in Python3 to interpret the SARPP data into graphs (and maybe more). Right now it has no GUI and just automatically generates plots of the data (nothing fancy, but does the trick). Feel free to contribute either by hacking it on your own and submitting it to the repository or just providing feedback and ideas for improvement. Anyway, here's the link: https://github.com/laxentis/pySARPP Sample plots: Edited September 18, 2014 by laxentis 2
laxentis Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Quick update on the development. The program now has a GUI. Proof: Windows binaries are located in the dist folder. To get the program, download the repository (via git or use the option to download it as a zip file from github). You can safely delete everything except the contents of the dist folder. Basic usage: Select which plots you wish to generate and click "Generate" (or just click "Generate all" to generate all plots for a file (duh)), a file opening dialog will show, select your file and click ok. The plots will be saved in the folder of your SARPP file. Disclaimer: Currently there are no safeguards regarding file reading - it can read any file and I am pretty sure it will work correctly only on DCS MiG-21bis generated SARPP data. 1

ericoh Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Awesome!!! No more excuses for unclean piloting, people be like: "Show me your graphs." :D 100% Nerdgasm.
Cobra847 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 We were wondering how long / if ever, someone would do it. Awesome. :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

joey45 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 So, What is this? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

JG-1_Vogel Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Joey it's essential a flight data recorder and the app takes the info out of DCS and turns it into graphs etc. So next time someone comes back with a convoluted excuse as to why their MiG is burning in a hole at the end of the runway we can see what really happened :P. Great work, using this in combination with tac view would be great for reviewing performance in close in dogfight scenarios. Would be able to see exactly when you were losing too much airspeed etc. Great stuff :).
laxentis Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 Quick update. The basic safeguards are in (defaults to loading txt files and yells at you if it doesn't pass the validation). Also, there is now a progress bar, so the app looks like doing things while doing things instead of derping out for a few seconds (sadly, the cancel button doesn't work yet). Finally, I have added an installer (link in the repo's README file) so it it easier to get the program. Also, a quick question to LN Sims: What do Fors, Hydm and Hydb stand for?
xxJohnxx Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Hydm is the main hydraulic system while Hydb si the command hydraulic system. Not sure what the Fors is. Thinking about it, it could be the airbrake though... Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled
laxentis Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Cheers. Version 1.1 is up with some new plots available (change in IAS, also called acceleration, and change in altitude, also called vertical velocity). I guess it is time to make the plots prettier (and fine-tune the axis setting, some of the plots get clipped and look uggly (yes, I'm looking at you, Fors plot)).

laxentis Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Imho FORS stands for Afterburner (Forsazh - форсаж in russian) :thumbup: Anyway, great work mate! Cheers, that makes sense. Version 1.2 is up. Changelog: Prettier "tristate" plots (Afterburner aka "Fors", SAU, Trigger; no longer clipped by y-axis range) Checking file size and yelling at you for loading an empty one Progress bar now shows actual progress in creating selected plots, not making stuff up as it goes :P
hsth Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 :thumbup: Great program, gives excellent insight!
fable2omg Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hey Laxentis, you should know, the IAS has now been changed for m/s since the last update http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2199714&posted=1#post2199714 I love your software more than J-SARPP and it would be really nice that pySARPP would be updated. Thanks!
