Beta Release: GPT (cockpit texture extraction, remote cockpit control, shm mirror)
-
Hi,
Had something similar before.
That time it was caused by an automatic IP change. Best to check your machine IP with IPCONFIG and then look for your GPT IP settings.Hope it will solve for you also.
-
OK. Heads up. New release is out. Check the first post of this thread if you’re interested.
Thank you GiGurra, very great work.
I am impatient to see the V0.3

Hi Sparks, had a good day today changing my IP settings in the cfg files, removed firewalls, no luck…. Still no helios output really frustrated as everything else is work sweet… my server is up too 50% usage and the frame rates gone from 32 to 90/100 Just need to figure out why helios outputs are not taking on the master PC … Thanks again for your advice…
-
OK, well I just got it to work, no lag nothing!!! very happy… All I needed to do was to run Helios in administrator mode!! Cannot believe I did not try that first time. Just wanna thank Yoda aka Gigurra Your are the man!!
-
One last question I have is how on earth do I now get lights to update on the slave helios?? is this done by arranging an extra interface?? through helios

Thank you GiGurra, very great work.

Cool. Well I haven’t had any real bug reports so far and I’m not sure what to put in a v0.3 version. (The only issue so far was to perhaps add support for automatic framerate throttling if the network layer or slave pc cannot keep up with the master pc)
What kind of features would you like to see for 0.3?

Now that u ask….[emoji12]
A GUI for the less experienced users, so set up is more intuitive.
RWR option to display/hide the lethal and not lethal rings.
Thanks

A question…. I used to start BMS with affinity 1 to force to use CPU n°1
“C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Launcher.exe” /affinity 1
and MFDE with affinity e.
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Falcon MFD Extractor\MFDExtractor.exe” /affinity e to force MFDE to use CPU n° 2,3 and 4
Using
“C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Bin\x86\start_displays_transmitter.bat”
How is it possible to use affinity?
Thank you -

RWR option to display/hide the lethal and not lethal rings.GPT only exports and displays the textures that BMS draws. I don’t have access to BMS internal drawing code, so can’t do that I’m afraid.

Thank youEdit the bat file (start_displays_transmitter.bat) with notepad or similar and add your options to the line where it starts the transmitter exe. The arguments will be passed to bms.

Hi !
I would like to know if a linux version is possible ? Especially for the receiver part of your software. -
Doesn’t the receiver work on Linux already?
Sender’s more complex, requiring JNI to Wine, but it’s doable.
-
The installation pdf says windows only so I assumed it would not work on a linux environment.

Assuming you install linux turbojpeg libraries, yes the displaysreceiver should work. However keyboard capture and shared memory will NOT work.
Like you say, the reason keyboard capture and shared memory does not work is because I used win32 APIs through JNA (simpler than JNI). Shared memory has equivalents in linux, yes, so that could be doable in a patch. Global keyboard capture could prove……tricky though, I do not handle linux very proficiently I’m afraid ^^

Then I’ll try to make the receiver work on linux. Thanks for the answer.

Hi GiGurra, Just to let you know last version works like a charm but had to find coordinates for RWR casue with yours i had only white box on my screen
have a question for you is it possible to extract the rest off moving instruments/dipslays whit your software?

Hello,
Trying GPT Key RX/TX to run Helios on Slave PC and really in need of help…a lot of help! Already spent so many falcon hrs on this instead of flying and pulled last few hair left on my head (Only a balding person can understand how precious they were!!).
Using V0.2 tools. GPT is Only for keyTX/RX. MFDs and other gauges are exported using MFDE on 2nd PC.- Installed everything in “Dependencies” folder on both PC including latest JRE v8update32.
-Ran Start_Key_Reciver.bat on Master PC. Command window open and stays there. Just bat file command line and no other error msg in window. I guess this is okay and master PC is ready to receive keystroke from Helios Pc. Let me know if this is not correct and something else needs to be done.
-Ran Start_Key_Transmitter.bat on Helios PC. Got following error:
–--------------------------------------------
E:\GurrasGPTtools\V2\components>java -jar gpt-keytransmitter-assembly-SNAPSHOT.j
ar

- I checked gpt-keytransmitter-cfg.json file, to add master PC IP address or other info but syntax is too cryptic for me to understand. Tried some formats but no joy.
Need help to configure GPT keyTX/RX and if anything else is needed to run Helios in master/slave config with GPT tools. Helios Forum is down so no help there is available to figure out what else needs to be done to run Helios & GPT.
Really appreciate your help!!!
-Grieving Griff- - Installed everything in “Dependencies” folder on both PC including latest JRE v8update32.

No help!? I am sure I am not the only one in community trying to run Helious and GPT keyTx/RX. Really appreciate any help offered! I hope GiGurra is following this thread.
THANKS -
Did you check the manual? Please insert the IP adress in the sender config file. Also open the port in the firewall.
also read here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?20876-Helios-on-Slave-PC-help-needed-Gigurra-Morphine-Rouge-and-Ice-Profiles/page3
GiGurras tools are great.
But I could not get the keystrokes transmitted so I wrote my own small app: http://livrot.com/LAN_keyboard/LAN_keyboard.aspx

Hello GIGurra,
I have one pb, Shared Transmitter Tx/Rx not work for me.
DisplayTransmitter TX/RX is OK
KeyTransmitter TX/RX is OK too (When i write TX/RX is for the correct application on Principal PC and Slave PC)I had set the Slave PC IP in the “gpt-shmtransmitter-cfg.json”
I launch TX and RX application. for test i use MFDEctractor in local configuration on Slave PC and DedCapture Software too. But nothingI miss something???
Thanks for help
Olivier
