AIRSTRIKEpro, level-bombing app for Saitek X52pro display

[Rot Bourratif]

Sterling work Mr Daedalus!

Any chance this could be ported to, say, a G15 keyboard screen or another device of the kind?

(I know I am being quite cheeky)

Cheers,

There's an onscreen display version for no X52 users.
The program is awesome, you can get incredible scores with ease during bomb raids.

Thank you all!

There is already a small program for the G15 keyboard made by WT_Pedropan and WT_Pitr (original, v1.1) and by Barloggg (remake, v2):
BombSite Table for IL-2 shturmovik game (G15+G19) ver2
This program also computes dropping-angles but does not connect to IL-2 via DeviceLink and does not take wind into consideration when computing dropping-angles.

So the answer is yes, Logitech published the SDK for these keyboards, AIRSTRIKEpro could be ported to the G15 or G19. But I do not have one of these keyboards, so the developement would be a bit difficult for me right now.

The version of the program Fenice mentioned (being displayed as an overlay over IL-2 game graphics under WinXP operation system) is no longer supported: almost nobody is using WinXP anymore and the overlay over IL-2 game no longer works with Vista or Win7 because microsoft fundamentally changed open-GL handling under these OS.


But I'll do some reading on the G15 and G19. These two keyboards are quite widely used by gamers, right?
The software developement kit (SDK) should be in the logitech folder (C:\Program Files\Logitech G15\SDK\). Could someone with such a keyboard please have a look into his Logitech-folder and maybe upload the SDK-folder (including the c++ code-examples if possible) for me? I'll have a look into it then and maybe buy such a keyboard, we'll see.

Supporting Logitech keyboards should also be handy for the people owning a G13.

I've seen quite a few flight sim setups include it, both for extra buttons and the screen.


Attached are the SDKs that come with the 32bit windows XP software. 3.06.109 comes with the "legacy" GamePanel, while 8.00.100 comes with the new and bloated Logitech Gaming Software.

I'm not sure what the differences between both SDK versions are, as the contents of both archives appear identical, but as the version number(and hash) differs I included both to be sure.

Thank you very much for uploading!
The display of the G19 can show much more than the X52pro display, heck, you can even watch youtube videos on it! Quite a bit to read for me it seems.

According to Barlogg's BrlgManual pdf file:
<<
Data from process
This item can receive data from any process by any adress. Must difficulty is to obtain this adress. Pretty difficulty. But if you can – then all is nice.

I guess that process could be devicelink?

I am missing a step to test it out myself...

I own a G19 so I am quite keen on beta testing as well.

Where did you get that BrlgManual.pdf? It is not part of the downloads under the link I posted above. I don't have a G15 or G19 (yet) and so I can't test it.

I got it from this link:
http://www.g15-applets.de/barlogggs-...v-7-t4799.html

The file is: BrlgClockVer60.rar

There is a documentation folder with .pdf files explaining how to configure his app in russian and in english.

As I said, if you need a tester or if you can give some guidance I would be willing to meet up on TS for example.

Cheers,

Versions 7 and 8 are here:

Hi Rot Bourratif,

I think you mixed something up there. The app I linked: BombSite Table for IL-2 shturmovik game (G15+G19) ver2 has nothing to do with the app you linked if I understand it right. The app you linked can display various information on the keyboard-display like cpu-temperature, memory-usage, pictures, web-info like weather forecast or email-counter and so on, but it has nothing to do with IL-2 1946 and bombsight-angles.

But if you can – then all is nice.

Not sure what this part of the app you linked does or can do (it looks like it reads directly from main memory and thus needs the hard-to-obtain memory adress), IL-2 1946 (DeviceLink) sends and receives information via UDP network protocol.

Update to Version 2.3

- information-page on the amount of fuel left (kg, liter, us.liq.gallons), current fuel-consumption (kg/h, liter/h, gal/h) and the maximum range added.
- some minor changes, mostly performance and user-friendliness improvements

Check the first posting in this thread, the download-link can be found there.

P.S.:
I have not yet started work on a portation of the software to work with the display of the Logitech keyboards. Stay tuned...
