iCockpit: IL2 cockpit on iPad/iPhone

I'm not entirely sure how the backend of this works (or what capabilities are there), but are you reading the variometer from the sim or are you calculating it based off of the altimeter? I ask because it seems to be pointing to the exact vertical speed, while the actual instrument has a bit of a lag time to the display.

From my experiments with DeviceLink, I think that the variometer readings it gives are 'instantaneous', or at least change more rapidly then the cockpit ones - the latter are probably based on a weighted average, which would be more realistic - the actual instrument probably won't respond very rapidly..

Right. The values that I'm getting from the game are "more precise" as the values displayed in the games. They are instantaneous as Andy said. I might want to add kind of filter to make it more realistic.

Very, Very cool...

Have both iPhone and iPad.. Looking forward to try out, but has to work with Luft planes! (109/190)....

good to hear that.

I'm currently very busy at work so I have almost no time for the development of this project that's why I haven't posted any updates recently. As soon as I have more time I will continue working on this.
