Remote slip/skid possible?

[Perfesser]

There was talk in another thread about the difficulty of keeping the ball centered without any sort of reference beyond the in-cockpit gauge.

If there was some way of reading the game's output for the slip/skid (not my area of expertise) it would be fairly simple to make a remote gauge using an LED display or a bank of LED's.

Hell, you could even rig the output to swivel your chair with an actuator with a little more work for that seat of the pants feel.

Is it possible to read the games output? If so, I might see this as an interesting project to pursue.

yes and no there is a file called devicelink in IL2 that has all the output of the game so you can build a sim pit and use real gauges... but it is disabled for multiplayer because some one hacked it and use it to make a radar to find the enemy in 1.0 something version

Figures, oh well.

If you EVER fly offline its worth playing with devicelink.There is some very good sofware out there to interface with it

devicelink does work in multi player but it is crippled..

It still takes inputs but the number of outputs is massivly reduced.

I had software on the laptop with a clickable generic cocpits on it (german /UK /US) .In multi player mode - wingfold, flaps droptanks all worked in MP but 90% gages didnt.

You'lll have to see if turn/slip is still enabled.

there was no logic in what was disabled vs what was left enabled.
