I totally missed the memo but apparently there is a Linux version of #GameGlass for a while now: https://support.gameglass.gg/en/articles/9351904-installing-gameglass-hub-on-linux
* Ubuntu 22.04+
* Linux Mint 21.2+
* Fedora 39+
Not a fan of GameGlass (I prefer my switches and dials, as you may know) but it’s probably of interest for other #homeCockpit builders.

Thanks for the flowers @CameronCoward. Cheers 🙂
Arduino Team (blog.arduino.cc)Take a moment to go and look up some photos of the cockpits of airplanes and spacecraft. All of them are packed full of instruments and controls. So why do we feel like we can play a flight simulator with a regular gamepad? If you’re doing so, then you’re missing out on a lot of […]
Oh wow, that was unexpected but Arduino themselves featured my ~~fire hazard~~ simulated cockpit on their blog: https://blog.arduino.cc/2023/09/21/piloting-spaceships-with-a-diy-cockpit/.
Yes I am totally hyperventilating right now. That was unexpected and I only know because someone asked if this is mine 🤓
Gotta admit though: I’d have liked linking to the primary source better. Namely this blog or https://SimPit.dev but… details.
So I’ve moved Thin Lizzy to Sawley Marina now with the help of a retired, experienced boating couple. There was a weir to pass on the way over plus some parking required, and having their help was amazing. I’m slotted in to a bankside berth with an electric and water bollard right in front of […]
Heh, #feelingCute may blow up things later, idk.

It’s amazing what some people manage to pull off in #EliteDangerous – like this serious flying here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Goh7EalNvgE by Sanderling (100% FA off. 100% fast. 100% stupid.) 🤪
A new build landed in experimental of #Satisfactory featuring a new engine version with Vulkan render. That’s of interest for me on Linux PC because I hope to gain some extra frames since the need to translate DX to Vulkan is void. It also suggest to backup the old save files just in case but figuring out the path to the saves isn’t very straight forward. Here it is for me:
/drive_d/games/steamapps/compatdata/526870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FactoryGame/Saved
The number 526870 is the App ID on Steam. Depending where your library (steamapps) is you can work from here. Ymmv.
Ui, der @SchoenMuc ist mal wieder in Tschernobyl unterwegs und postet ganz viele krasse Bilder aus der Sperrzone. Gehst mal schauen!
Remembering complicated keyboard commands whilst playing a game is a real pain, especially when there are lots of controls like in FlightGear’s Spitfire,Remembering complicated keyboard commands whilst playing a game is a real pain, especially when there are lots of controls like in FlightGear’s Spitfire simulator. That’s why we built a custom control panel with real switches and buttons to make the in-flight experience much more realistic. Although this control panel was built specifically for this Spitfire
Another interesting #simPit button box because it uses not only an Arduino but also an MCP23017 I/O expander to get more switches connected: https://www.okdo.com/project/spitfire-controller/.
Should also just work with a Teensy too.
…and it also show cases #FlightGear 😀
