AirFields LCD App for Logitech G Keyboards


Dusty [CPC]

Recommended Posts

Here's an applet I've created for me (G15) and a friend (G19), and I thought I would share.

It's quite a simple list of the different information concerning the airfields, such as the tower frequency, the Tacan channel, etc. displaying on the LCD screen.

 

Here's what it looks like on both LCDs:

Thanks to SHU77, the data is taken from his awesome diagrams.

 

Note: The applet has no priority, so you will have to select it from your keyboard once it's running.

 

[update: V.1.1 is uploaded]

Just tried it out, very very nice. Also like the little tips you added to the bottom for some of the airfields. Like the elevated silo on one approach ect ect. Thanks again!

Considering I hadn't touched C++ for more than 5 years and it is my first G Applet, it took some time to wrap my head around it :book:

Notes and warnings, and pretty much all the data is courtesy of SHU77, taken from his Airfield Diagrams.

I've got a request though, Could you add the runway headings as well?

You mean the exact decimal magnetic heading? Because the Runway numbers are already on both G15 and G19 (bottom left).

logitech g19

 

Are there any other special features that are of use to you in DCS with the G series keyboard that you wouldn't get with say the logitech wave?

I do like that lcd screen though and I am looking for another keyboard.

Nice app, works fine so far.

Static linking against the MFC should cease the mfc100.dll error i had too before installing the redistributable.

 

I've found one error so far - the app is always crashing when i want to switch backwards from the first entry to the last one (Anapa[1] to Ochkhamuri[24])

 

to FireflyNo1: it works with the G13 like a charm, but keep in mind, it is only one App - so, if you switch to the next airfield on the G15, the display on the G13 changes too.

I get that awell CTDs when I get back to the first airport.

Hey Dusty,

If we could work out a way to parse radio info from the mission briefing, could you also enhance your app to provide radio frequencies for a given mission?

V1.1 is uploaded, here's a temporary link while it's getting reviewed.

 

- Added the runways exact magnetic heading

- Linked the MFC library as Static, so it shouldn't need VC++ redist anymore (if anyone could confirm)

- Fixed the crashing on the G15 going backwards from 1 (*facepalm*).

 

________________________

 

As for a page for radio frequencies, it's on my mind, but requires time I have very little of right now.

I'll try putting out a rough user-filled form linked with a radio page for the next release.

Mission briefing or .miz file parsing will take some more time, and eventually I'd love to use TARS exported data to display cockpit frequencies in real time...
