Showing off new features for my home cockpit: Priority alerts, sounds and more status indicators

2 years ago by Beko Pharm to c/diysimulators

This uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT. Various subscriber listen on the new messages to run blinken lights and my HUD app. I’m using the well known message format also used by Elite Dangerous so it’s compatible with that game as well.

Incredible! I need to figure out how to comfortably mount my HOTAS on my sim racing rig so I can play X4 on the triples. Every time I get started I just end up racing again instead. 😅

I totally wonder the same with the ViperPit and the panel here :D It should be possible. A preliminary test with a printed version on paper looked good xD
