Let me know if you have any suggestions for either tool, or if you find them useful. So, there might be further updates here in the future. While the initial version should be stable, this tool is more of a work in progress, and I'm currently looking to pull data from and other sources to display on the hotas as well.
The second tool is an Elite: Dangerous-specific tool that reads the game logs to display: This means that you can write to this json file from any tool and have the information show on the display without the need to write any C++ code yourself. Ive been trying to get it to work by fiddling around with the programming software from saitek, but elite doesnt.
Ive been looking for posts that can explain how each one of these modes can have a complete new set of keybindings, but the explanations are either nonexistent or overly complex. It will continuously monitor a json file for changes, and display the information in the file on the hotas unit as it is updated. The x52 (pro) has a wheel on the stick with 3 modes.
The first is a very simple 'driver' for the MFD. īut, with some help from Github, I have now produced two separate tools for my fellow commanders! My excitement quickly waned when I realised I had to program in C++ to talk to the thing, though.
I recently treated myself to the X52 pro hotas, and got very excited when I realized I could display information on it's multi-function display (MFD).
