  1. Got my hands on a #Macross / #Robotech hoodie 😁

    I'd have preferred one without Robotech but it's almost impossible to get anything like that at my place at all 😕

  2. Chirp chirp chirp little chicken – interfacing Ace Combat 7 for some sweet telemetry for my VF-1 inspired home cockpit

    So what happens when sheer stubbornness, a glorified button box, Ace Combat and the Unreal Engine Scripting System meet? Pure magic. I got the game to spew out a constant stream of telemetry data and events in search for more immersion in my VF-1 inspired home cockpit. The approach is the very same that I used for X4 Foundations before: Side load lib Luasocket, get a network connection established and start dumping extracted game data to it. This is highly experimental and the result of hacking away for the last ~4 nights. This video demonstrates the results:

    To be perfectly clear: I am aware that Ace Combat is not a “flight sim”, not really worth of an API, and I know that DCS or BMS does it better and in greater detail and even with realism. This is not the point. I started working on this just for fun and to satisfy my own curiosity to see *if I can make it*. This may be hard to believe but chipping rocks together until the computer does what I want is “quality time” for me 🤓

    You may have noticed that I’m a Macross fan and that my SimPit is heavily inspired by a VF-1 Valkyrie and that I usually use a modded VF-1 plane in AC as well. This is my personal substitute for the lack of any decent Macross / Robotech game since Macross VOXP.

    This said I usually fly Space Pew Pew games with this cockpit so everything you see going on is designed for _space_ and not for flight sim. This is also why I sometimes talk about “ships” or “docked”. This is wording found everywhere in my plumbing pipeline for telemetry. All games I play, that can use this, send their data over this. The idea is that I do not have to rewrite half of the connected systems for every game so I transform the data into a unified format before.

    You can read more about this on the dedicated project website https://simpit.dev (and here, of course). I will soon update it with some more details for Ace Combat. If this looks like something you’d like to try let me know, I’d love to connect. I’m active on various social media. Please do let me know if you find this inspiring.

  3. The release of these Robotech soundtrack albums (see my earlier retoot) reminded me of something fun: Cam Clarke recorded a couple albums! I have a rip of "Inside Out" that I was going to dig up and share if it had gone extinct, but it turns out you can still buy them digitally directly from him on his site!

  8. Livestream recording: Space – Pew Pew – Playing X-Wing with XWVM Alpha again in my Macross SimPit

    Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my #Macross inspired #SimPit. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing these #StarWars games as a kid.

    This is the heavily cut VOD of the live stream over at @[email protected] (pick your poison):

    https://makertube.net/w/r1LRrqDWnhw4wRk92uNfzo /
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T2jxqT_5sU

    This time I play with the native Linux version and my X52 Pro joystick (which means I actually have a chance of hitting stuff too). The following missions were played:

    Historical Mission 2 / Wingmen Are Important
    Historical Mission 3 / Sattelites Near Coruscant
    Historical Mission 4 / Beating The Odds
    OP 1: Destroy Imperial Convoy (Uncut)
    OP 2: Reconnaissance Mission (Uncut)
    OP 3: Fly Point During Evacuation (Uncut)
    OP 4: Protect Medical Frigate (Uncut)

    XWVM is not an official product from Lucasfilm Ltd. or Disney. It is not endorsed or authorized by either. It is a fan recreation of the game engine used to play X-Wing and TIE Fighter for the sake of accessibility and requires the original game assets to work.

    Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

  9. Showing off new features for my home cockpit: Priority alerts, sounds and more status indicators

    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: github.com/bekopharm/x4-simpit

  30. Client commission with their lovely OCs (for a Macross/Robotech AU) Regan and Donna.

    Overall a pleasure to paint, as so much in the themes and even palette is in my comfort zone.
