Beta Release: GPT (cockpit texture extraction, remote cockpit control, shm mirror)
-
For those that have used it… Is it difficult to setup? I know it’s all relative, but the instructions seem a little daunting.
Great work Gigurra! -

GreG work Gigurra!The first thing to realize is…You don’t need it all.
GPT is just a big set of independent tools. You might only need 1 of 3.I wish though I could bundle the java VM with GPT itself, so you wouldnt have to install it. But I’m not sure if Oracle’s license for their java vm allows this. If someone knows that would be great.

Hi GiGurra, I am looking to run the off the one PC I have as I think I have enough resource to do this, which program do I need and what settings? thanks

I see, I will look into it tonight thanks man

If you’re just using one PC, why not use BMS built in extractor, or does it lag for you like it does for me?
I’m not sure mine will perform better, but check the manual: Get the DisplaysTransmitter and DisplaysReceiver,
and make sure to set the DisplaysTransmitter ini to use SHM and not JPEG over TCP. -
Thanks for the reply GiGurra, yes I am currently using BMS extractor but the issue is I want to run BMS in a 0 windowed mode, this way I will get better frame rates as I am having to run BMS in windowed to get the BMS extractor. Will your program enable me to run BMS in a non windowed mode? As I am currently using Lightnings extractor for dials and wanted another way of projecting mfd’s….
My setup is 275 gtx tri sli so currently can get some good numbers for you from testing.

Yes I run full screen, but I have a second computer rendering the mfds. I’m not sure if the DisplaysReceiver application will work on the same pc if the game is full screen, but you can try! Maybe it will work :). The DisplaysTransmitter will always work though, regardless of full screen or not.

You bet it DOES, like a charm…

Nice, good to know :).
Also, I just did some tests on the TE “Raining Day” (I was told this TE is heavily GPU limited), and I discovered that the nvidia cpl “Power Management mode” set to “maximum performance” significantly improved my fps with gpt:
Raining day on RW without GPT and “Prefer Maximum performance”: 55-56 fps
Raining day on RW with GPT and “Prefer Maximum performance”: 54-55 fps
Raining day on RW without GPT: 55-56 fps
Raining day on RW with GPT: 46 fpsThis however did not help my friend with a gtx 570. He goes from 55->43ish regardless of power setting in this GPU limiting situation.

Also good to know that! Jcenzano did you get it to work as I am looking to get this done…

Thanks

You can use OpenJDK 7 bro.

I tested in my PC, not slave, only master.
Running my default install with MFD extractor (engine instruments, RWR & gear status panel) using the BMS MFD Extractor in the mission -40- raining day, I get 29 FPS jumping to 31, 30 and 33 as maximal jump
running the same, turning off the BMS MFD Extractor and running GPT only for MFDs In the same mission in the same spot… I get a stable 28 FPS -
GiGurra, BIG….Thanks!!! a lot for the GPT, it works after a bit fiddeling out. I had to download and instal the JAVA JDK for using the specific server file.
(1) you can copy this server folder and paste in your ‘normal’ JAVA instalation JRE/bin folder or…
(2) You can change the variables wich i had to do in the user variables and system variables in system properties on a old XP machine.
Each time when the system rebooted the startbat didn’t start, thats why.
For the Doobs like me edit in the tab: Environment Variables in System Properties,
Tick new… then Variable name: type: " PATH " . Then Variable value: (copyandpaste the folder where java JDK is on your computer, for Example): " C:\Program files\Java\jdk 1.7.0.04\jre\bin "
The same in System Variables….then Variable name: type: " JAVA_HOME " . Then Variable value: (copyandpaste the folder where java JDK is on your computer, for Example): " C:\Program files\Java\jdk 1.7.0.04\jre\bin "
Why this storry, cause i use TouchBuddy on a 19" screen with the ICP,DED and both now working MFD’s on one Tab thanks to your DisplayTransmitter and Receiver and MFD Extractor, good job! :drink:On post #38 you came up with new updated files on your Index of /gurrasPitTools with a new displaytransmitter.dll for more fps in BMS.
I had more FPS with this new [.dll] but only 5 FPS because i am on a coreduo E8400 @ 3.92 MHz and GTX 260@ 648MHz which is realy fine with BMS
When i am in Full Screen and i hit ALT TAB, to do some settings and come back in Full Screen in BMS, There is no transmission any more and have to close the flight mission and start all over?
So i have to turn back on the Displaytransmitter.dll before.
Realy GUYS this WORKS fine!!! Even on old crappy duo machine’s like mine!!!
Thanks a lot GiGurra for GPT :bdance:

-S-Looks like you’ve found an alt-tab bug and actually also a memory leak, Thank you for telling me!
I’ve fixed it now, and uploaded a new version (only the DisplaysTransmitter.dll is affected)Also I think JAVA_HOME is only used under linux/unix?
I don’t have it here on any of my windows machines. (7 64 and XP 32 just seem to use “PATH”) -

From what I can tell after reading oracle’s license, it seems like we are allowed to bundle the JVM with our own programs:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html - am I wrong? -
I’m no lawyer, but under section c of the supplement it explains the terms of distribution… Which requires only that the license acceptance must also be included along either the redistributable binaries…so an install w license acceptance must also be provided so users can agree to the terms themselves. No?

@RP!:

No?
Do you think the license acceptance can be part of the download procedure? (well Oracle has it that way on their site)
Hmm…making an installer…that would be tricky :P.But the good part: I’ve found a way to just unzip and run the JRE.
The bad part: It’s 23 megs as rar, 30 megs as zip, so: Definitely need to package the whole GPT with a jre, and not each piece separately. -

-
So, can you confirm that running GPT on a single PC will reduce stuttering?
No, In a single PC I get better result using the BMS Tools, If I use GPT I loose more frames (Using default config)
With BMS Tools I have always more frames (2 or 3 more), not stables but always more frames than GPT.
In a place using BMS Tools I get 20 frames (jumping around 3 frames, always plus, never minus) with GTP I will get 17-18 stables.
