Beta Release: GPT (cockpit texture extraction, remote cockpit control, shm mirror)

GiGurra, I get a little lag when I’m using the application in local mode 127.0.0.1 (radar cursor moves small jumps), is there any way around this ??

Only locally? Strange. No idea Im afraid
-
I also use local mode and experience no cursor lag.

Yes for the extraction of MFD´s to other monitor. I used it. ;D . Not sure if its correct this method.

Me yes. With original MFD extraction of BMS no problems but much more FPS consuption an a very little interface UI. :-?

Maybe this will save someone some time. To close my part of this thread, I got the F/A-18C MFD’s to display on my dedicated instrument monitors by editing the gpt-DisplaysReceiver-cfg-json file “source” values as follows.
Left MFD: “source”:“source”: {
“x”: 0.0,
“y”: 0.15,
“width”: 0.375,
“height”: 0.375Right MFD:“source”: {
“x”: 0.374,
“y”: 0.145,
“width”: 0.379,
“height”: 0.379No need to edit the “target” values. As suggested, I started by assigning 0, 0, 1, and 1 to the left MFD to display the entire array of instruments. So now you need 2 versions of the file, 1 for F18 and one for F16. I just rename the file for the aircraft I am not flying.

Thank you very much for the values. Work great.
A little trick to make your life easier….[emoji12]
Instead of renaming files back and forth, you can make a copy of the f-16 gpt folder and rename it for example… “gpt f-18”.
Make two shortcuts, one for the start_displays_receiver.bat in the f-16 folder, and the other one for the modified one with the f-18 values.
This way, just clicking on the shortcut corresponding the aircraft you want to fly, you will launch the correct displays.
Just my two cents.

Actually how large jumps are we talking about?
Since gpt export is hard locked at 50 Hz, and doesnt really sync much with the game, there should be some jumping… But it should be in the order of 10-20 milliseconds. (that is ~1/50th of a second). -
Yay! I finally got GPT to work and now my slave PC running Helios can access the sharedmem from the main PC. However, if I press “1” on the slave PC once, the main PC gets two inputs, a first “1” and a second “1”…. If I press 1, then 2 on the slave PC, the main PC gets 1122… I tried vincent’s method of disabling double-tap but that doesn’t work and I can’t get rid of Double-tap -> Double-click under Pen and Touch options. Any help appreciated!

Hi, Ice!
This may help, it was created because of suffering from the relative pointer using touchscreen on one pc with helios.
Going to two pc’s this tool permits to transmit the keypresses generated by helios or on the second pc’s keyboard and generated them exactly on the main pc. This I guarantee!
http://livrot.com/LAN_keyboard/LAN_keyboard.aspxAs the documentation states, you need to open the port that you want to use on both pc’s.
Sadly, I did not have the time to create a limited test version.
But the price is very reasonable compared to building it yourself. Unless this is not what you need ….Cheers,

I’ve seen that and it was my next software to try but was hoping to find a solution via GPT. Not due to your pricing, mind you
It’s just that I’m already starting so many stuff… YAME for gauge extraction (or MFDE), Helios for pit control, GPT for Helios to access sharedmem…

TorvilBought and installed this today (check support email too please!!) and while I can confirm that it works (keystrokes are sent from slave PC to main PC), unfortunately, it still does the double-press thing even with or without “no key repeat” ticked. Suggestions? Target IP is my main PC’s IP, port is 8049 and it works although I’ve not done anything to the firewall/router. Help!!

I would say that your one tick to the touchscreen produces two. Go through the windows settings for pointing devices/touchpads to fix it.
I have no other idea ATM. Checking your support email now.OK, got it check reply mail, please.
I’m still reflecting your problem. You may be running two instances of helios or have two output channels to falcon defined or have created two buttons on the same spot (pasted the same panel over it again).
All I can think of ATM.hope it helps,

How I wish you were wrong, livrot. Unfortunately, you aren’t. With nothing else but Helios running and no connection betwenn slave PC and main PC, the problem persists. Ironically, if I “click” on the button with the mouse, it gives me one click. If I “touch” the button with my finger, it gives me two clicks. This only happens with Helios though! I opened up Notepad and typed in some words using the on-screen touch keypad and I get one press per touch.
I’ve tried googling for solutions to this problem but so far, what I’ve tried doesn’t work. I wonder if anyone has other suggestions I could try?
-
Did you examine the buttons in question for their action in Helios?
Maybe Helios has a bug and dublicates all actions when a profile is loaded made on another pc. -
Now, that everything points to helios, I would thoroughly check the output devices and every piece of possible setting in helios.
-
The button works well when clicked via mouse. When activated by touch, it goes rogue and double-clicks. This is my own profile that has been working fine for a long time now so the issue is not the profile.
-
You never know how applications handle profiles. But I admit, that the chance for that solution is rather low.
Did you check the ouput devices of helios? -
I’m full of crazy ideas, just ask me… maybe helios gets the touchscreen input as a click AND the windows generated click, too on your 2nd pc?
Check the input devices of helios, too. -

I just read your post again.
Just to make this clear: The LAN keyboard’ application does not ask for administrator rights, and therefore could not have opened the ports.
They must have been opened before, or another explanation has to be found. (Windows Network Setting like this ‘Homegroup’ thing or the likes).As you probably have made a fresh install of Helios on your second PC, it might have wrong preferences / settings for the ouput to falcon.
