AIRSTRIKEpro, level-bombing app for Saitek X52pro display

[FS~Daedalus]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

To all that have tested the program:
Any feedback so far? Does the application connect to your X52pro without problems? Do the pages show up on the display correctly?
Feedback (positive and negative) will help to improve the utility and sort out any kind of problems.

Update to version 2.0!
- AIRSTRIKEpro v2.0 now communicates with IL2 1946 via DeviceLink. It receives IAS and altitude directly from the game, no need to enter these values manually anymore with this feature enabled (optional).
- Integrated simple autopilot, no restrictions, it can control every aircraft in the game
- option to choose units, select between (km/h, km, m), (mph, nm, ft) and (kn, nm, ft)
- reworked page-design

Bugreport and workaround

There are reports of the display not showing anything after starting AIRSTRIKEpro. This has probably to do with 64Bit operating systems (like Win7 64Bit) and the “Saitek DirectOutput Service” not being started correctly after your computer started.
Should you not see anything on the display of your X52pro after starting AIRSTRIKEpro please do the following:

1. Restart your computer and do not start AIRSTRIKEpro
2. Reinstall the latest drivers for your X52pro
3. Right click on the task bar at the bottom of your screen and select "Task-Manager"
4. Select the tab "Services"
5. At the bottom right, you will see a button "Services...", click on that button
6. A window will open, scroll down and find "Saitek DirectOutput". Right click on it and choose "properties"
7. Again a window will open, in the middle of it you will see "Startup type:" and to the right you will see a pull down menu.
Click on the arrow on the right edge and choose "Automatic (Delayed start)". Click the button:"OK"
8. Close the Task-Manager and restart your computer

After your system rebooted there will now be a 10 - 15 seconds delay before your X52pro display will work properly, so just wait a few seconds after your computer started before starting AIRSTRIKEpro.

Update AIRSTRIKEpro v2.2

Work on the update to version 2.2 is done!
The page-layout changed a bit and I added two new pages, a 'classic speedbar' (IAS or TAS) and 'Engine temperature and settings' for each engine of your aircraft (up to four engines).
