I’m like mid a very huge overhaul/simpit project and haven’t been documenting it cause it’s a bit messy as I sort it out but I figured fuck it I will start to.

Been learning the viper and DCS. It’s a Whole Thing but really the cooooolest fucking thing about DCS is that all plane telemetry can be queried real time, and the community has TONS of open source software to get it talking to your devices.

The most fun I’ve been having is programming button boxes that have LED lights to actually function as state/warning lights.

Another cool thing is you can very easily make the lua code export displays from your craft. I already found someone on Etsy to make screens to export the MFDs (Multi function displays, basically how you mostly interact with the computerized systems in the jet) in the viper as well as the DED (data entry display, interacts with your up front controller to display various things as text for quick reference basically) but I was curious about making a display to also export the RWR (radar warning receiver, shows you what’s tracking you on radar basically, and alerts you of radar guided missiles tracking you).

I found this sweet little 4”x3” screen for raspberry Pi’s for like 40 bucks. A little finagling of lua code and I had a rough version of it exported!! Check it out on the top left of my smaller displays!
