After scouring the forum looking for something, I’m pressing the help button.
I want to extract the main instrument panel, i.e. ASI, ALT, AOA, VVI, ADI, and HSI to another screen, could even be another computer, a tablet reading a webserver. I don’t need to interact (.i.e touch any controls), but if that’s part of the deal, ok. Essentially I’m trying to produce, what shown on FocalDesign’s left monitor:

I’ve seen it on so many peoples pit pictures, you’d think it was the native UI extraction, but alas, I don’t get those instruments.
I’ve looked at quite a few of the Android apps that read sharedmemory and output to an html server. Ok that might be the way to go, but I imagine, given, a lot of people are doing this already there is probably a solution in place already.
Thanks in advance!
LOL! I have the same problem. The designers must have modeled it for Shaq! I’ve noticed though It only a big problem if the HOTAS sits on the desk. If I put is much lower, like it would be in a real pit, the problem is much less severe. Still though, picky + pickle is a stretch, I have that mapped to “Hang Loose!” Haha.
Maybe that gives me an excuse to build a pit with money saved on clay.
BTW, I can’t see the pictures, could you send them to me?
I have the X55. I’m pretty happy with it. If the speedbreak in BMS had an axis to map to, I’d be SUPER happy. The one place FSX beats BMS - the freakin breaks! Ultimately, I created separate keystrokes for extend and retract speedbreaks (no modifiers) Q and W respectively. Then in the H.U.D. software, I mapped the extended position of the switch to press Q (after .100 seconds) and release (after 1 second). This times out to extend the speed break fully. The on retraction it sends W for .900 and releases for .1 seconds. The point of the press and release is to allow other signals to be sent. It seemed when I used a long press like 8 seconds, all sorts of other stuff wouldn’t work, no keyboard no other HOTAS buttons or switching. I deduced after a lot of trial and error the LONG press was creating problems. PM me and I’ll send the .pr0 file in case my description was as unclear as the reason Saitek made that the one and only physical state switch!
What is the basic definition of callback?
First let me say this, I am not asking this without having done some research. The problem is this. Google and the search on the forum here give tons of results for “callback.” In each case (hundreds of interesting but not quite understood article, posts, rants) the writer immediately jumps into the details assuming the reader understands the term. My problem is, within this context, I don’t have a clue what it means. I assume (based on some programing knowledge) it is a method which continuously validates the state of something. Through context clues, it seems like the something is a physical interface, like a button or switch, but in other cases, like the Dash1 (love that name BTW), it list every callback for each panel some things are just buttons so no need for a status check. I have read each of the following far enough to see that the term immediately jumps into usage with no explanation: BMS2.0 Manual (which is probably the closest thing to an explanation I’ve found), the BMS Dash1 and avionics manuals, of course, the seminal works of Kolbe, and even the Original F4 Manual (which apparently predates flight controllers because I can’t even find anything about joysticks! lol). All (sans the latter) jump right in to the details with no explanation. Its like explaining a rainbow to someone who is color blind…. “red… huh” “green… what’s that?” “blue… nod and smile” “purple… I give up!”
So… I welcome any input form a basic answer to a full blown technical description. Sarcastic jokes are even welcome at this point, as long as they are funny! LOL
I have both plugged into the keyboard and have no problems.
