Getting nose wheel position from P3D
Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2020 7:06 pm
Hi,
I'm making a motorised, force-feedback tiller (flying 737 and using P3D+Prosim+FSUIPC).
I'm a little new to the whole suite (coming from X-Plane) so it's a little difficult knowing how to get started.
Basically I need my Arduino device to be able to read the nose wheel position from P3D somehow (or from Prosim or FSUIPC for that matter). The difference between the actual nose wheel position and the tiller position is what will determine how aggressive force feedback I'll use.
But I'm a little confused about where to start. It seems IOCP+SIOC would be a good starting point for setting the nose wheel position, but reading the actual nose wheel position seems a little harder.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start? Is Simconnect the right thing, or should I look elsewhere?
