Hello Humberto,


--- Quote from: virtuali on September 21, 2020, 07:00:22 pm ---GSX can surely be used with other software, and there are several developers ( Aerosoft, FS Labs, Leonardo, MCE++ ) that used the included documentation to interface with it from their products.

Andreas again from FS-FlightControl ;) - we met also in person at FlightSimExpo last year.

As we have discussed there (and previously via e-mail/forum messages) we are unfortunately unable to use your existent interface as we do not have any module installed inside Prepar3D. FS-FlightControl often even runs on a separate computer just connected to Prepar3D using SimConnect.

So to interface we GSX we would need a network-based API (I would suggest to simply use custom SimConnect variables/events for this).
Furthermore, one main request of our customers is to be able to hide the GSX menu in Prepar3D while GSX is remote-controlled from the instructor station (by FS-FlightControl).

Again, we would really like to interface with your product - please consider to add a network-/SimConnect-based API to your product to enable us to do so.

Best regards and thanks for considering

Actually this would be exactly what we need!
Just remote control the GSX menu through SimConnect, ideally plus the option to hide the GSX menu inside Prepar3D while GSX is being remote controlled this way.

Best regards

Hi all, dear Virtuali,

another vote for implementing a kind of remote command interface.
Besides the "mouse and keyboard" simmers there is a growing community of home cockpit builders/users (as myself),
aiming for closest immersion and reality.
Apart from the wunderful features of GSX and L2, the only thing "distroying" the immersion is a poping menu on the P3D screen
to select the GSX actions via keyboard/mouse.
With a (simply UDP-based) network interface that routes the menu text entries to and the selections back from a remote app,
the community would be very happy to implement a (e.g. MCDU / CDU based) HMI interface to GSX.

Would be really great !

My five cents -

Stefan

This would also be a massive improvement for me as i have a homecockpit. Realism would be greatly improved instead of it popping up on the main screen and using a keyboard / mouse
