Running with only PC screens?

[GodAtum]

Is it possible to run Jeehell without any hardware, just PC screens and joystick? I dont think there is a pedestal GUI for radios?

[OmniAtlas]

Yes its possible.
No GUI for radios, but you will be able to control it with software like vpilot -- just use the .com1 freq command.

If there's interest I can build an RMP virtual panel for the community...

[OmniAtlas]

Spilliot -- yes please, that would be very helpful, especially for individuals without stand alone RMPs.

Here's a preliminary version of a virtual RMP1 panel, after a day's worth of hack.

A few things to keep in mind:
- Requires .net Framework >=4 and therefore recent Windows versions. The specific built is against 4.5.2 but shouldn't specifically require this version, let me know how that goes or if you have any issues.
- At this stage it only works for setting VHF1 (COM1), other buttons don't do anything.
- Doesn't actually talk to Jeehell at all, it is only using SimConnect. If things go well I plan to release this as open source and I don't want to expose the Jeehell API without approval of Jean Luc or without a proper way to not include it in the project.
- Built against SimConnect's FSX SP2 version, that and any later version should work (Steam, P3D). Tested on P3D only. You could run it on a network by following the simconnect guides on how to do that.
- No debugging features, edge cases, exception handling, logs, whatsoever. As it is now if it hits a wall it will burn and crash, although "It works on my systemtm". Let me know if you run into any issues though.
- Provided as is. No warranties or guaranties. Use it on at your own risk.

When it fires up and until a connection to FS is established, you will see the SEL lamp illuminated (orange) and the displays showing ---.----

Once connected (it will attempt to do so on its own) the SEL lamp will go out and the displays should show the correct frequencies.

You can change the STBY frequency by left or right clicking the outer and inner knobs. Press transfer (between the displays) to make the STBY frequency ACTIVE.

Thank you spilot, this will go well with JL latest release. Regards.

Thanks, I'm interested to see if it works for everybody. I don't think many people will see it here in this thread so in my next beta I will make a new post to announce it.

The project is now up on github (https://github.com/spiliot/jeehellrmp).
