I wonderif it would be possible to somehow get all of the indicators working too? Perhaps something like a RasberryPi that grabs info from the game and feeds it to the altimeter, pitch/yaw indicator and so on. Shame games don't come with APIs like that.
- yesimahuman 13y agoX-Plane has a plugin interface that would make this very possible. I've used plugins that show various instruments in different camera angles, so that data is there and can be grabbed. And there is a lot of 3rd-party hardware that simulates and controls various components of the aircraft (like external GPS modules for training). Probably wouldn't be hard to get the data out of the process.
- VLM 13y agoYou've pretty much described the X-Plane SDK, although it can do a lot more than that. X-Plane is pretty much the ultimate flightsim. The main challenge is old instruments are "cheap" from ebay but they're not really designed to be precision driven (or even non-precision driven) by a servo or a voltage. Usually something can be hacked up with enough duct tape and patience...
- zokier 13y agoDCS series has some support for pit-building, and afaik relatively complete Lua-API. Afaik you should be able to get most of the instruments working. http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=101 http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=101 here are some examples what the community have built so far.
