Roccat Power-grid

Take a look at this : http://www.power-grid.roccat.org/?page=overview

I see lots of possibilities for using this. The iOS version beta is under way and now they need Android testers.

Sounds like the app will be free and you have to pay if you want more than 2 "tabs"

I'm excited cause theres really nothing worthwhile for Android currently...

Any-one tried this?

UFC panel now available. I will try test this Monday next week as will not get a chance till then.

Anyone know if it is possible to change this to the CDU panel? (Even though they are very similar when entering UTM codes I still prefer the layout of the CDU).

Just found out myself this software :), however I see there is not much discussions about it over here. I will give it a try ASAP but it looks for me extremly promising. Is anybody experiencing bad things about it?

Hi gents,

I'm playing around with that software. Looks great, but I have encountered one serious restriction: out of the box it can't send combinations with Right CTRL key. I'm trying to build workaround solution for DCS.

Hi gents,

here is my initial Plugin for DCS World design.

• One control set for FC3 plane: Su-27 commands (279 virtual buttons);
  
• Two control sets for DCS planes: A-10C commands (839 virtual buttons) and L-39C commands (290 virtual buttons);
  
• One control set for DCS helicopter: UH-1H commands (493 virtual buttons).
  

Please give it a try. If you like it, feel free to support the project or ask for a free key.

I have a problem with this app, when i run dcs only works the volumen controls, heeeelllppppp

You need to assign the correct keystrokes to the Power Grid...

I have used this program for years, some things are a bit hit and miss, but for what I needed it to do it worked perfectly. Never could get it to work with DCS before Andre took on the project.

Thanks Andre.

Really?

I thought nobody is interested in my Power Grid plugins and was going to close the project...

Haven't downloaded it yet, but it looks really cool! Will be playing with it tonight.

Good luck :)

Is there any way I can download your configurator? I saw that you discontinued the project, I don't know why it wasn't popular.

Everything in our hands.

Please remind me a bit later. Pretty busy with SimShaker projects now.

My little M-2000C grids profiles for INS :

And the keyboard changes needed to use it :

Does this pass integrity check on MP?

Yes of course ! It's like having a Warthog or Thrustmaster MFDs except that you can define the buttons look and where you want to put then on your tablet ;)

The most usefull grid I made for me is the NADIR panel for the Gazelle : it was nearly impossible for me to fly and to enter new waypoints at the same time :thumbup:

Hi. Appreciate that this project has been closed from a development perspective.

Is it still possible to download your grid, as created for the Huey? I'd love to give it a try and appreciate that you wouldn't be investing further time into it's refinement.

Hi,

I want to use Power Grid with DCS, but RCTRL isn't working.

Andre can you please enable a download link of your project?

Is there another workaround available?

How did you solve the problem in your project?

Kal

Hi Kal,

Andre can you please enable a download link of your project?

No, that's not easy.

How did you solve the problem in your project?

I converted Roccat button commands into DCS Export API control commands, avoiding keyboard input in the middle at all.

Hi Andre,

thank you for your quick response.

I'm willing to spend some time to get your project to work again, if you give me the code and some support. But I don't know if it is possible.

Regards

Kal

Are you a programmer?

I'm a system administrator.

I've learned basics of c and c++ programming years ago.

But in the last time I programmed only some small tools with Java, Perl and VisualBasic.

I'm not sure if I'm able to make it work again. But it's a shame that Power Grid isn't fully working with DCS.

Regards Kal

Well, I think it worth trying. Please PM me your e-mail or Skype, let's continue with that.

Power Grid has so much potential, I can't imagine flying without it. I cant understand why more people do not use it.

The down side is Roccat abandoned it and they did not open source it, so do not expect new features or bugfixes.

It is still very usable with some limitations (RCtrl issues, some missing features like different grid sizes, horizontal orientation...). for me personaly the biggest issue is RCtrl problem which prevents mapping to default DCS commands requireing you to change some shortcuts in DCS.

I made some grids for my own use, and shared them:

Mirage 2000

DCS FC3 general profile (for russian aircraft)

https://www.roccat.org/en-US/Products/Gaming-Software/Power-Grid/Store/Grids/Games/Simulation/1000/

I was even thinking of building a clone of Power Grid myself, but do not have the time to do it on my own.
