This uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT. Various subscriber listen on the new messages to run blinken lights and my HUD app. I’m using the well known message format also used by Elite Dangerous so it’s compatible with that game as well.

Oh yeah… and on Linux PC 🤓
Let me know what you think!
X4-SimPit code (pending changes) is here: https://github.com/bekopharm/x4-simpit
The cockpit panel has a dedicated project page here: https://simpit.dev/
That is nice
It’s amazing. Back in the X3 days I played with a Joystick and Throttle, but now I’m more looking into the economic side.
This is so cool that I thought it was VR for a whole minute.
For some reason this cockpit really reminds me of Wing Commander games. Love it!
I feel like a peasant flying with mouse and keyboard. But then again, a peasant couldn’t handle a joystick anyway.
Show this to Egosoft and say this is the lengths a person has to go to because they gave up on VR.
The X series, and X4 in particluar, are my favorite games. This is just soooo much cool! Good job!
Are you using Nvidia surround for the triple screens?
@beko Impressive 🤩 and yeah, the sounds are truly annoying 😄
@beko Looks amazing!
@divclassbutton @beko ty 😁
Am way too distracted with the ViperPit to give it much attention lately :/
I love how you spent so much money and time on your switch boxes (and the software running them) but still use a shitty x52 Pro. Your dedication to old hardware is noted!
