Has anyone used OUIPC and Orb Connect with thier simpit build yet? I'm curious about everyone's i/o setup for thier simpits.
I've prototyped with both (Orb:Connect was an offshoot of that). Whatcha wanna know?Has anyone used OUIPC and Orb Connect with thier simpit build yet? I'm curious about everyone's i/o setup for thier simpits.
It depends on the level of control you want. From an input perspective, you could get away with a keyboard and/or joystick emulator and map them to Orbiter inputs. Using momentary switches such as pushbuttons, or momentary toggle/rocker switches, that would actually do quite a bit.I'm still trying to get a grasp on what will be needed to interface on the software side of things for my build.
I think he's shelved further development of OUIPC as he's converting all his clients to OC. So its up to you, but if they're incorporated into the base he would see them. I will keep an eye peeled.Also, yagni, keep an eye out for an e-mail from me sometime in the next few days containing the modifications to Orb:Connect we talked about earlier. Also, should I send a copy to Russ, too?
