Let me know how it all goes.

For the most part , this thread was started to get like minded people together to get these items to work.

 

Now that I have new options , once I get the new scripts done , I will have this thread cleaned up or start a new one and post better info.

Which item are you using? Fip, X52 pro , Both.

IF you lost your assignments, it sounds like you are using x52pro.

 

If X52 pro did you install BOTH x52 and Fip drivers. The dll requires both drivers to be installed for the x52 to be captured.

A little update.

I finally got some time to dig into the newest saitek dll and got the screen grab to work ( as shown a few post back).

I ran into a couple of issues along the way and had to make changes to the dll.

It was crashing during button presses. I was able to correct that without adding other issues(I think).

The colors are off for the hand drawn gauges and I am/was working on correcting that issue. ( still a bit stumped).

 

The current process for using the new dll with screen grab is promising for adding the mfds(A-10c warthog) schval-abris(blackshark) and radar -with some graphic issues(F-5e).

I have got all of those to display on the Fip and interactive by button presses.

 

I use desk space and an android tablet as a monitor so I do not have the mfds and such duplicated on my sim screen.While the display on my tablet is some times sluggish on the refresh , the fips refresh almost instantly ( they refresh well before the desk space screen).

 

I ran into a curious situation in which I did not activate desk space and the fips did display the mfds and the buttons worked , so maybe desk space is not needed. I am still investigating.

Currently I am away for a few months and can not continue for awhile, but will continue when I get back. I am still undecided as how to proceed, do I update gauges for new modules using old dll and then switching to new or do I advance the new dll (iron out issues) and adjust everything for that model.

Also , I am waiting for corrections to be made to the"options.view(?) lua script , I see the need for that to work in order to switch between modules properly in the new system.

 

That is all for now, will be at it some more in a few months.

I would suggest using the new dll.

 

Looking forward to this update!

 

Thank you for supporting this program.

 

It is very cool!

I have 4 fip's all working!

"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

Cool, it is good to here all is working well for you. I think the new dll is the way to go as well, but I want to make sure I get input from others that have been waiting patiently for the other modules to get added. The extra button functions are nice and add more immersion.

Hey Chrilith,

I swapped out the button callbacks , using the old callback programing.

The colors for the screen grab functions are good, but the .png colors are off.

So I need to figure out that one. Other than that it is awesome work on your part.

Thanks again for all of your work.

Oh yeah, I am away from main computer for the summer and fall. I will be able to focus on this again in winter time. I plan on getting a bit more savvy in the ways of programming and Dcs file/scripts. I will have my dream seen through.

Great! If you can send me your new code so that I can check the problem.

Also, I don't see why there is a problem with the image colors, may be a buffer not properly read or written, but this doesn't occur using simple lua script or Flight Simulator...

Is this new version available for download?

Back home, ready to work on this project some more. Just need to remember where I was and what I ws doing. Also have to set things back up as something seems to have broke during updates. I plan on having detailed guide for this set up when done as there will be more steps to take to get the mfds transferred to the Fips.

Revamping the gauges to work with the new Passerelle Dll. As already reported mfds are now displayable.

Also looking for new ideas for the x-52 other than radios.

Hopefully will have new sets out soon and will be removing the old scripts.

I have/am experiencing some personal setbacks that make it hard to get back to this project.

Question, is there still interest in this?

THe Mfd export is a bit of work to get going, not sure if anyone wants to go through the steps.

I still am interested in it as my son got a x52 pro for his "inauguration" to DCS. Hard enough to get the existing profiles (Ramstein's f.e.) working.:cry:
