while it seems to be possible in theory, AFAIK no one has extracted the data available into a useable form.
I have been a big supporter of this idea through the life of IL2 and and would love to be able to use this with CoD- infact I would make gauge sets for all aircraft if there was the coding/application to do so. I have looked at the coding needed (as a coding noob  ) and to be honest the extraction of the data doesn't seem to be much of a problem, it's the ordering and outputting the data in a useable format that is the problem- in that it requires coding way above my abilities.I would also prefer it to be an 'official' upgrade to ease the concerns from the 'purity of online experience' crowd, many of whom were 'somewhat anti'  this idea in IL2On a side note, using a second monitor on the main gaming machine was usually a problem with Il2- using a separate computer on a network to drive the gauges was a much better way of doing things (afaik this is due to udpspeed- the program most used in IL2- being a '2D' program and as such causes fps drops when running in conjunction with a '3D' program- the game.)

Afaik the issue with IL-2 was that, yes you could get all necessary info for the gauges with DeviceLink via udp/network - but (officially) only in offline mode (there is or was mod to bypass that limitation).
In CoD you can get at the info from within mission script, FearlessFrog demonstrated it here with Heading, Altitude, and Speed. Problem is, that it has to be part of the mission script, which means that you've to copy it (with FMB) into all missions you want to use it in. And if you're flying online it has to be part of the mission script on the the server... Artist

Is this thread relevant? I don't have know anything about it, just remembered the thread: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24856

COD is a different kettle of fish. As stated beore I tried to use a C# script to set up a UDP server wfrom within COD but due to my limited C# scripting skills failed. Anyone else had any luck? Could be that there is another way to get the info out of cod. I guess we need scripting documentation for COD. Cheers

It really is a shame - there is all that information in getParameters and yet there is no official info on how to utilize it. I am busting to get my motion platform cockpit working with CoD. It works great with IL-2 and Devicelink, but why does getParameters have to be so complicated with no clues about how to use it?

gentlemen, now we are getting somewhere
artist, thanks for the link, being able to already access some of the flight data sounds like a major step in the right direction bolox, thanks for the summary, i remember your nick from the old ubi forum discussing that feature at length. have you had a look at the link that artist posted and is that type of flight data access possible for some of the cockpit gauges ? i have no programing or coding experience so am out of my depth on the practical side if this currently would only work offline, thats a major step in the right direction, and it might be possible for some of the main online servers to implement it to in their setup later (untill luthier incorporates it as a feature). setups like this with separate display for cockpit gauges is possible in several of the major modern flightsims (DCS series, xplane etc), would be great if we can get it working for SoW

Been a long time proponent of this sort of thing, and in these days of 'shiny' tablets etc it is unusual not to have some sort of official output protocol in a flight sim
Yes the data Artist points to is what is needed- infact CoD has many more types of data that is readable than old IL2 devicelink. I've messed about with coding based on that to do 'speedbar' type readings of various parameters but that's about my limit of coding- hacking other peoples work  One of the 'tricky bits' of coding required is to 'translate' the request packet from say udpseed into an answer packet from CoD Not only are there instrument reading parameters available but also many other useful ones- for a full list see zip in 1st post http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...338#post342338 Apart from deciding which CoD parameter is most relevant as an output (gauge users will want instrument readings whereas performance chart makers will want 'absolute' values) some values might need converting to the relevant units The more I look at what is involved coding wise to export this data via udp, the more I realize that it's beyond me  If anyone gets to do this a more MKI version of this would probably be my first project

btw, isnt it also possible to have some very limited 3D version of the gauges so it avoids the 3D/2D problem you mentioned before ? with most gfx cards having multiple connectors these days and the minimal GPU resources needed to display a 2 color static image i would have hoped we dont need to run a 2e pc to just display the 2e screen with the UDP method. err, please be aware i know nothing of programing, so i am probably overlooking some obvious reasons why some of this is an issue
