BaD CrC Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I saw recently that you can run two copies of X Plane on 2 computers, so you have one generating the cockpit view and systems and another one generating the external view. Saw that running on a pit, and the whole thing is pretty smooth. Do you think there's (will be) a way to do that with 2 copies of BS? That could solve the fps issue many have on multimonitor configurations. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
Gadroc Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Not that I know of. That kind of capability has to be built into the simulation, the closest we can get is things like BSVP rendering gauges on another computer. The killer problem being the Shkval and ABRIS have to be displayed via BS itself which limits our monitor configurations.
BaD CrC Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 Yes, you got it right Gadroc. Shkval and Abris are real fps killers the way they are implemented. Thanks for your answer. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
DTWD Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Gadroc seems to have written some software for A10c that displays the MFDs on a seperate screen (a bit like that virtual panel for BS). I am not sure if he re-creates the information from lua or there is something planned for A10 that isn't in BS. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gadroc Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 To be clear the software I've written does several things. First it can render gauges based off information extracted via the Export.lua (very much like LOVP and BSVP, but with different technology and built to interface many sims), it can do touch panel controls (like touch pal) and it can communicate with hardware interfaces (direct x controller now many more to come) all with a WYSIWYG editor. It can not recreate full game graphics necessary for MFDs (unless the game supports it like OpenFalcon), for the thrustmaster demo we used FC2 and just had some static menus on the MFDs. A10C will have the ability in the box to display the MFD graphics on separate monitors similar to BS.
