HawgTouch - Free Panels & Gauges for A-10C


Recommended Posts

Iam away from pc but no Iam not running beta and

I don't have E drive when I get home I'll check

For files left by beta thanks for reply

Seanie

Probably the safest bet but sorta dirty way would be to check on registry key for A-10C and modify it. I suspect that is causing it :D

Hi all,

 

I followed all touchscreen threads

from touchbuddy beginnings... to Touchpal and then Helios,

to finish with this last soft.

 

I had no much free time last weeks to follow HawgTouch subject... and it is very recent indeed ! I just read the whole thread tonight...

 

 

And after that, I had a dream...

 

With Helios coming free and the brilliant talents of both Gadroc and ClearDark...

I am wondering if we could,

 

on middle to long term

 

finish with one universal product...

 

elaborated with

 

all people

contributing and interested

in this subject...

 

because on last considerations,

 

there is not so much people

contributing and competent

with those sort of things...

 

working alltogether is best than competing each one on his own...

 

maybe could divide work load

and accelerate developpement

and various sims support...

 

maybe some time is needed to achieve such goal

 

yes the road is not well known, and collective work is not easy,

 

yes many GNU projects have some difficulties to born and complete...

 

but opportunity exists,

 

it is up to people working on it to evaluate that,

 

and to forum readers to manifest their support on such idea...

 

 

 

it was my utopist contribution of the nigth...but

Utopia has that interest : it is a potentiality that may become reality, it is up to anyone to push on that direction...

Well, I would like to see folks work together... although Helios at the current state can do anything you need it to. The big thing that we need is a utopia of Art work, meaning new switches, Black shark panels, better A-10 Art work, etc... I understand Cleardark is working on his code skills , but working together would greatly benefit the community.

 

I have never ruled out the possibility of working together.

 

I think Helios changing the licensing model is a great thing and once the SDK and all the kits come out we'll see how things go :)

Hey Cleardark,

Got this working today on the second PC, excellent, excellent product, I was very happy to be able to actually see what the gauges were doing without having to try and position the TRACKIR on the main screen.

 

I would suggest if I could that you place the comment about needing to unblock the Guage .dll on the first post, as it took me several pages of reading to find that and I suspect its a Windows 7 thing so will affect a bunch of us.

 

I have attached an updated version of your 1.3 profile which places the engine gauges in the same sequence as the actual plane and will post in the morning my profile and images for a working Caution panel, which was very cool to get running, as its another one of those things that I personally find hard to read. Im looking forward to getting the HSI working in the morning too.

Awesome! Glad to see you made a Caution Panel. Nu NRG and MadTommy are working on their own aswell. But post up your profile for us :D

 

I have fixed the engine gauge panel in 1.4. Load up 1.3 Features and you will see 2 tabs. Flight Instruments and Engine Instruments

 

Enjoy!

OK Here you go, have resized your gaugepanel.png, and added in the other gauges from 1.4 that were relevant to me. Had to unblock the DLL again in this release to get it to work (darn Windows)

The caution images aren't the best, but at least give a basis for the code.

Hey also in terms of functionality suggestions, maybe its the 22" main screen or the stability of my TRACK IR, bu I find working with the small main panels to be the hardest, so things like the radios and the ILS/TACAN. Have you given any thought to being able to tranmit key presses over the network? you would need a server app for this I guess, but it would avoid having to try and run HT in concert Touchbuddy. I suppose thats what Helios does at this point, but I quite like your app :)

Great work! I have read the whole set of posts. I would like to add the MFCD's and CDU on to a 22" touchscreen. ( For a start!)

 

Will there be an instruction manual how to do this? Or in my case a manual for Dummies! :helpsmilie:

 

I can fly a sim, but I am not very good at this sort of thing:cry:

 

If you could add a GUI, I would gladly pay for such a superb enhancement.

 

Thanks for your dedication to enhancing this wonderful sim!

To export your MFCDs. Go to this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69555

 

Its the first HawgTouch thread. First post explains thoroughly how to export MFCDs to external monitor.

 

Then,

 

Download HT 1.4. Load it up and select the ShowcaseProfile. Load that and hit the 2nd tab (MFCDs + UFC). That should do it!

 

You will have to also set up your keys. Instructions can be found at the thread link I posted above!

Caution Panel with original textures for HT1.4

 

Hi guys,

 

While I watched some NBA Playoffs (Rose played superb ;) ), I made a Caution Panel based on the original DCS A-10C textures.

 

I attached the rar archive to this post.

 

If something is wrong, please let me know.

 

Have Fun!

You will have to edit the profile XML files and copy over the "Control" to your profile.

 

If it gets too complicated let me know, I'll throw a profile together for you :)

 

Here is my Caution Panel and Engine Instruments Profile:

 

Screenshot:

You can go on from this and edit it to your needs!

 

The file is attached to this post and includes my previous posted CP files, too! However, the old CP only profile is not altered.

 

Have Fun!

I was just woundering if there is a way to put shu77s airport diagrams http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60370 into the notepad in hawgtouch and to resize the notepad itself i think this would be a great feature ive tryed to copy and paste it but the diagrams of the runways dont show

 

There is a way of doing it by converting the diagrams into pictures and creating multiple panels.

 

Pretty straight forward, if need a short guide can be written :)

Teaser, my work in progress for 1280x1024 secondary 17" screen. I plan to divert engine dials to HT running on laptop :D

Thanks go to MadTommy for MFCD bezel images and ClearDark for HawgTouch

 

Will post profile(s) when I'm done :D

Oh, the way I imagine the idea in my head and for this to work, will be for ClearDark to help me out on how to make HT capture data on TWO PC's at the same time :P

 

PS: What better to do when you wait for 8x2TB drives to finish synching in RAID 6 for the first time :P
