Black Shark Virtual Panel v.1.1


Mnemonic

Recommended Posts

Hello to all community!

 

I'm proud to present you BSVP (Black Shark Virtual Panel) software.

bsvp_in_the_works.jpg

 

This software is allow you to visualize main analogue gauges of Black Shark simulator on separate monitor or even on networked PC (Notebook or Netbook).

Like old LOVP, BSVP allow you to configure gauge panel in any way you want.

By default - realistic placement included.

 

BSVP was made in 3D engine Quest3D, all gauges are rendered in 3D.

ADI cylinder now have proper form, gauges are smooth and clean.

Besides, night lightening for panel was made (syncronized with simulator)

Hope you will enjoy this project, and happy flights! :)

Here's project page:

From the page you could also download latest LOVP software with photo-textures.

 

P.S. Ask me freely if you issued some problems or have some comments :)

P.S.2. Thanks to DickDastardly and ggg87 for all they're help!

 

Works with DCS World 1.2.1!

Excellent job, Mnemonic! :thumbup:

 

Combining this with Touch Pal might make this to be an even better sim than it already is!

 

I am off to dl now and try to get some testing in :joystick:.

 

Thank you again for sharing with the community!

Amazing contribution, I would never have thought these gauges could look so great and the fact that they're so easily positioned and sized is amazing.

 

Is it possible to run two instances of BSVP at the same time? (if we had two monitors displaying gauges or would you have to try and expand the window across the two monitors?

 

Thanks again!

This is excellent, and it worked as advertised on a secondary monitor.

 

Just one question - occasionally the gauges seem to 'jump' or twitch to extreme values - is there any way to stop this, or is it a problem with DCS:BS itself?

 

Once again, very well done, really simple to set up, and a brilliant addition to Black Shark.

Wow! Awesome!!! :thumbup:

Will give this a try when time allows, this will be very useful for many people I thinks!!

Thank you very much for a great contribution!!

 

If one wanted to view the whole cockpit panel on one screen (19" wide touchscreen in my case), is it possible to have your instruments, schkval and abris on one screen ordered in a similar way as in the real cockpit somehow?

 

Thx

My gauges are jumping and twitching all the time - any remedy or what have I done wrong.

:(

 

Anything else I should alter?? :music_whistling:

 

Very impressed even with "twitching" gauges

 

During development I had a few times situation like you have, but in final it worked without problems, It looks like when the system is overloaded - BS somehow drop the export values, and gauges begin to jump.

 

But, maybe it's my bug too, can you please tell me your specs?

 

P.S. And thanks guys, glad you like it! :)

have to say congrats to Mnemonic and the vrm on one of the best addons ever for anything :thumbup: ever

 

here are just a few examples

first one is of a win7 laptop running the game on second screen (big TV)

with the laptops screen running the abris and shkval (not lined up very well)

and finally a networked winXP client running BSVP on a 19" ws on the left

(forgive the lack of perfect alignment, it was a quick setup to demonstrate what is now possible)

this is like heaven on earth for pit builders, glass instruments for DCS, hell yeah :D

attachment.php?attachmentid=33147&stc=1&d=1257526773

 

edit: just look @ those gauges all doing exactly the same as the in game pit, sweet stuff

and as i am sure you will discover, you can reposition and size the gauges to meet your needs

and they do not loose quality, they look great big or small.

attachment.php?attachmentid=33148&stc=1&d=1257526909

 

this one is with the alt+f1 pit-less view.

with nearly all the everyday buttons mapped on hotas and on touchpal,

this view is becoming an option and one i will examine further.

attachment.php?attachmentid=33149&stc=1&d=1257527059

 

 

running below in local mode for want of a better term (game and bsvp on 1 pc, 2 screens)

which works but it is currently a bit for show as the bsvp export messes with touchpal

also i have been experimenting with the laptop running 2nd screen in portrait mode,

either way it seems we need a combined export.lua to run both bsvp and touchpal simultaneously.

and i am sure the smarter ones amoungst us will sort that out :) won't be me that's for sure.

attachment.php?attachmentid=33150&stc=1&d=1257527059

 

not quite working yet, but i am sure it will be soon enough.

note that when blackshark starts up the bsvp goes behind the game,

(bsvp is inside the game resolution area i guess that is why.)

 

Mnemonic:

i wonder if it's possible to make bsvp always on top

(if running on a sperate networked pc,

or running only bsvp on the second screen this should be of no concern so please do not panic)

 

 

finally here is one with bs on the laptop screen and second screen with large shval above touchpal with abris.

note the vvi to the right of the shkval, most important for avoiding that vortex ring sinking feeling :)

also see the yellow warning light telling you to back off some collective, and the gear is down.

My specs:

 

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

Core 2 Duo E6850 OC'd to 3.3GHz

2GB RAM (forgot the brand, but it was good when I bought it!)

ATI Radeon 4890 1GB (Stock speeds)

Using Track IR4, with Version 5 software

Primary Monitor at 1680X1050

Second monitor at 1280X1024

BSVP running on a maximised window on the second monitor (not full screen, because then it jumps back onto the main monitor)

 

The CPU is no doubt the weakest link - it's getting a bit long in the tooth, but I get good fps with almost all settings maxed (except water, which halves the frame rate on max). I got about 45-65 fps on the free flight mission I used to test BSVP.

 

Once again, great work.

Seriously... Mnemonic, GREAT job! ggg87, Thanks for sharing that!
