Title: saitek x52pro multi function display
Post by: minke on September 24, 2008, 12:07:14 PM

I'm looking to use the lcd display on my x52pro to show flight data such as speed (IAS and true) ,heading and alt.Also if I switch modes I want to see ammo/ord expenditure and fuel status.I know you can get all this through the clipboard,but i dont want to sacrifice visibility an SA.

According to saiteks site www.saitekforum.com The SDK (software development kit) has no interface and requires a program to be written (C++ apparently)

Can this be done for AHII?

If so has anyone done anything like this?

If someone could do this it would be awesome

I don't think anyone has. I know it would take a loooooong time to do it though.

yeah I'd like this too. haven't looked at the SDK but I'd guess 30mins to get it working. problem is AH doesnt have a readable API for data, so theres no values available to display on the MFD :(


edit: about time this was wishlisted
