Hi Pigi,

Sorry I am a little late on to this topic... But... wow! well done.
Jean-Yves sums it up very well. Now we are getting ICPs in the community. it
will be awesome to have matching DED with that. In my flying, the DED plays
an important part. Probably receive far less attention than it deserves both
by pitters and flyers.

During refueling, I switch my DED to display bingo fuel setting... from
there I can see fuel flow and know how much fuel I still need to pump into
my jet before I am full. In a 1vmany dogfight. That is a timing cue for me
to know if I am slowly getting towards a flame out state and tell myself I
better kill them all before that happens. Having that information on the DED
keeps me looking in the 2D or no1 cockpit view without the need to look down
right at the guage. At times when you are doing rolling scissors or trying
to hold onto the tanker when its in a turn. The DED gives me the peace of
mind knowing the information I need is there :)

I am so glad that you made such break through with it. I will also be
interested to know how much it cost you to do it. Due to the fact I am an
electricially disabled person. I only recently worked out AC/DC wasnt just a
rock band hehe.

Cheers,

Al
Sydney, Downunder.

Nice work there, Pigi.

I have a Q for you guys working with DED data. Can you confirm you are
getting OK data from shared memory??

I am using SP3 and getting nothing back but shit. I hope it's a bug in F4
Glass but I have looked so long at the code I am just not sure anymore.
So if one of you can confirm the data being valid, I can start rewriting....

BTW Did UDP for the F4 Data Mirror and I get at least 100 fps (that is
sh.mem updates) over a 100Mbps network. A lot better than TCP :) Makes F4
Glass run really smooth. Still have to work on the F4DM key mapping stuff
(gonna be nice), and after that fix some bugs from the F4 Glass v1.0 beta
before I can release it.

Well, DED anyone??

cheers,

Erwin.
