Ranma13 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 Yes, it still works in 2.5. As long as DCS BIOS supports the most recent version, it will work. In other news, I've been working on a more generic UI that allows you to configure the Stream Deck, kinda like an advanced version of the official software. However, progress has been slow due to limited free time on my end.

SierraFox Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 a cheaper alternative, if you have a smart phone or tablet is Roccat Powergrid. basically the same thing and much easier to use Saitek X-52 | Track IR 5 w/ TrackClip | DSD "Trackzilla" Button Box Flaming Cliffs 3 | F-5e | Mirage 2000 | A-10c | Harrier AV-8B [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ranma13 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Except a touch screen is a very different experience than a physical key. Also, Roccat Power grid is a glorified virtual keyboard and has no interactions with DCS BIOS or the sim itself. You can only send key presses to the sim, but not extract out any data.
philstyle Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Late to the party, I'm trying to set up a streamdeck to simply send hotkey keyboard strikes to the sim for now. However, DCS isn't seemingly getting any input... ideas? IGNORE THIS . . GOT IT WORKING NOW....

=Panther= Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 What did you have to do to get it working? I hope you don't mind me asking. Browse to where streamdeck.exe is installed, likely default location or where ever you told it to. Right click it, properties, compatibility tab, and then select "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom.

AesclepiusCrow Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Ranma, thanks for this. Could be a great way to fill a cockpit without breaking the bank. Has there been any progress on your GUI? I've been waiting for this for a while, I'm hoping it hasn't been lost to time or differing interests. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Ranma13 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I haven't been able to make much progress on it due to other life events, but it's still something I'm interested in and actively working on when I do have some time to spare. I have a repo up for it here and made a commit just a few days ago: https://github.com/danieltian/powerdeck The challenging thing is setting up the architecture and finding the right tools. For example, I know that I will need the ability to dynamically create text on images, but the JS image manipulation libraries out there have varying levels of support for text drawing. Jimp is slow and only supports bitmap text, but also looks the best. gm needs a separate binary for GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick, but it doesn't have all the APIs implemented. Sharp is the fastest, but it also requires that text be a SVG definition, which is problematic when the text needs to line wrap. Then I need to add an UI that allows the user to set the font, font size, font color, background, position, and alignment. It's a lot of work that, as individual pieces are easy enough to do, but I'm still figuring out the best way to combine it all together. Is it possible to adopt this also to other aircrafts? Yes, anything that's supported by DCS BIOS can be used by the Stream Deck. Eventually I will have the UI done, which will allow the end user to set it up themselves. Edited July 17, 2018 by Ranma13
ralfidude Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 If you do, then that would be huge. I just bought this so i'm very hopeful right now! Good luck in the development. [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]
BaD CrC Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 This box would be also great to manage the Datalink control panel overhead in the Ka50. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
AesclepiusCrow Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Agreed. When this is done, it'll be major. Even without using Ranma's stuff (I'm holding out for the UI), I've used it as the L-39s weapon panel, the Mirage's data panel and the A10s UFC. The device itself is great. Ranma's tool will make it a necessity. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
=Panther= Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 In case anyone missed it. The latest software from Elgato now allows for multiple key commands with a single button.

ZQuickSilverZ Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I want that and I want to buy it from you because I like what you have to offer. But really to make this a viable, for sale, product you need to make an installer. You stated this is a work in progress. Are you close to making a final or consumer release? There IS a market for this sort of thing. I might even consider a yearly subscription if you update it with new air frames as DCS releases them.

Ranma13 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 You stated this is a work in progress. Are you close to making a final or consumer release? Not close. I'm making progress, but it's slow because I'm doing it on my free time, which I split between various games, my family, and this project. It will be a ways out. That said, it's good to know that there's interest in the project, which motivates me more to get it done sooner. I just don't want to make any promises or give a timeline, since I have none in mind.

Ranma13 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 Nope, that would likely get me a cease and desist from Elgato.

HawkDCS Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Is there anyway to make the Elgato software see left versus right shift etc. Seems it sees them the same? Rig: 5960X @ 4.5GHZ 32GB 3000Mhz DDR4 Titan XP Dell 3415W 21:9 Thrustmaster Warthog
Ranma13 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 Need help with the development? Thanks for the offer, but I'm not quite at the point where anyone can really help, since I'm still working out the feature set and architecture of the app. Is there anyway to make the Elgato software see left versus right shift etc. Seems it sees them the same? With the official app, no. My app will be able to differentiate between the two (the Ka-50 library already does, it uses a fork of RobotJS that adds in the right-side modifier keys).
tea_cypher Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Just want to say this is a very interesting project.
