Pro Flight Deck Support

Support for HID devices of the Pro Flight Panel series
Currently supported: Pro Flight Switch Panel

General note to builders

The Project files expect referenced Libraries which have no NuGet package reference in a Solution directory ´ExtLibraries´
Those external libraries can built from the project SC_Toolbox:
https://github.com/SCToolsfactory/SC_Toolbox

NOTE: THIS _ IS _ VERY _ EARLY _ WORK _ IN _ PROGRESS _ IT _ MAY _ JUST _ BREAK _ AT _ ANY _ TIME ;-)

PFPanelClient V1.3 an SCJoyServer Client

Intends to connect to an SCJoyServer

Connects the Pro Flight Switch Panel and sends configurable commands to the SCJoyServer.
The Configuration File contains the commands to be sent with each Switch or the Rotary Knob (look for Doc/Examples folder of this project for specification and examples)
SCJoyServer can integrate multiple clients sending joystick and keyboard commands.
It then forwards such activation to the local vJoy (virtual Joystick) device and/or keyboard.
Clients can be anything from this Panel to Tablets, RaspBerry PI etc.

see: https://github.com/SCToolsfactory/SCJoyServer

In order to use the program one has to add the library DLLs

Just within the application Exe folder:

  • PFPanelClient.exe The program
  • vjMapper.dll Command Mapping Library
  • PFSP_HID.dll HID Support Wrapper
  • HidLibrary.dll HID Access Library
  • Theraot.Core.dll HID Access Support Library

ProFlightPanelSupport V 1.3 the standalone program

Provides a small standalone program to enable the Pro Flight Switch Panel acting as vJoy and/or Keyboard.
Actuates ONE vJoy virtual Joystick and supplies keystrokes to the active window

A config file defines what command are sent with the Switches and the Rotary.

For documentation of the Config File see the Doc Folder
https://github.com/SCToolsfactory/ProFlightDeckSupport/tree/master/ProFlightPanelSupport/Doc
For a sample Config File see the Example Folder
https://github.com/SCToolsfactory/ProFlightDeckSupport/tree/master/ProFlightPanelSupport/Examples

Note: You have to install the vJoy (V 2.1) driver.
The driver is not available here but use this link.
http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/download

You may map the Virtual Joystick like any real one into SC by using e.g. SCJMapper-V2

In order to use the program one has to add the driver/library DLLs

Just within the application Exe folder:

  • ProFlightPanelSupport.exe The program
  • vjMapper.dll Command Mapping Library
  • dxKbdInterfaceWrap.dll application keyboard typing support
  • x64\SCdxKeyboard.dll (64bit version)
  • x86\SCdxKeyboard.dll (32bit version)
  • vJoy_csWrapper.dll vJoy Access Library
  • x64\vJoyInterface.dll (from vJoy218SDK-291116 - 64bit)
  • x86\vJoyInterface.dll (from vJoy218SDK-291116 - 32bit)
  • PFSP_HID.dll HID Support Wrapper
  • HidLibrary.dll HID Access Library
  • Theraot.Core.dll HID Access Support Library
