GSX: request for remote (networked) menu option ...

--- Quote from: A320-Daniel on November 06, 2016, 08:49:31 am ---I also fully agree. I have a 240 degree visual on my A320 simulator running with P3D with 3 views on one PC and 3 projectors connected to them. So you are sitting in a full size physical A320 cockpit and looking out of real windows on a curved screen which projects the outside world without any panel of course.
GSX is a perfect tool from what I have seen so far but menues showing up on the projection screen is simply no go when using it in a simulator environment.
PLEASE, PLEASE make a tool which allows to control GSX from an external computer in that way that you "redirect" the Simconnect menues via network to a remote program instead of showing them in FSX/P3D. From that remote computer you can the press 0 to 9 to control the menues and the remote program sends them back to GSX inside P3D. I would also be willing to pay an additional fee.

Many thanks for considering this.
Daniel

Waiting for this to use with our 737-simulator.

With my new 3 Projector home Cockpit it is a pain to use the dialogue window, covering the outside view.
So I deinstalled it.

Hopefully Network capability will come in the future / but this discussion is as old as from 2012.... :-(

ElephantAir737:
Considering how long the question of making GSX to work better in full cockpit simulators is discussed here, it will probably never be done.

So I just decided to resolve it by brute force.  

Like others that posted here, I have full  Boeing 737 cockpit.



In addition to 3 projectors there is  the 24"  monitor where I have P3D window with "Panel Display Only" option set.  
P3D menu and GSX menu show up there and not on the projectors' views.
In my cockpit I also have two tablets - on CPT and FO sides.



So what I did - I installed web camera (Logitech C920) in front of the monitor. The camera is connected directly to FO 10" tablet.
This way the GSX menu is visible in the tablet screen and I am able to see and operate it from Captain's seat.



I call it "stupid GSX trick".  


I tried Air Display and some other wireless solutions, however found the impact on main PC performance not acceptable so far.

Very clever.  Beautiful set-up.  Love the cockpit and visuals!

Another +1 for raising the priority of network control.
I believe many people are using external views with hardware now.
