Release Elite G19s Companion app (with simulated space traffic control)

Right, remember now i set the resolution in the config file one pixel smaller because it would overlap from the secondary screen where i ran it.
Been a long time since i used it, apologies.
 
Hi all - I just released a new version of the EliteG19s app! Quite a few changes, curious what you think of it.

  • Overhauled space traffic control - different voices with much more variety.
  • Added a Ship AI - I love this feature in EDCopilot, so I borrowed the idea and added it in, with a focus on functionality, especially when playing in VR.
  • Overhauled the VoiceAttack plugin. Please see the new example profile for details. You can now for instance ask: "Hey ship, search for commodity" and it will guide you to find the closest place for the commodity you are looking for.
  • Made some improvements to the orrery view.
  • Added a shopping list to keep track of commodities you need. With yesterday's update now can automatically sync when you dock at a colonization construction site.
Have fun and see you in the black (or here in this thread if I managed to let a bug slip through).

I was totally surprised when I saw that my G19 app is suggesting an update. Thought maybe it was a virus or something :LOL:

One problem I have now is that suddenly I have like a two hundred new voices reading NPC lines, most of them non english, sounding quite weird when reading english texts. Previously I had only a few voices, like Microsoft David or George from language packs installed on Windows, easy to manage (to turn off or set up required speed or pitch). Is there a way to edit this list (mostly to remove 90% of those voices) via text file? Because doing that inside the app is a pain since every time I make any kind of change to a voice setting and go back I end up at the start of the list that has 15 pages.
I tried modifying options.json in
c:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\EliteG19s\
and removing voice entries there, but that made no difference and app kept showing all.

Anyway it's great to see you back and the app alive.
 
Thank you for providing updates to the app! The G13 ist still my favorite device for Elite. I have been dabbling with the Companion App using it with an iPad mini below the main monitor and it’s great in general, but touch screens are just beyond the possibilities of proper ergonomic keys and sticks. So good that the G13 is not forgotten!:love:
 
Hello - Let me start by saying I always use the Elite G19s companion app (really great program). I downloaded the upgrade and it worked fine for a bit however one day just stopped displaying on my fourth screen. It runs in the background by audio space traffic and cockpit voice assistant, just no display anymore. It happened around the time I downloaded the latest Geforce drivers - Have no idea if that caused it or not. When I force it onto any monitor by the system tray it's just a black screen. I see the volume change on that black screen when I use the mouse wheel. Can't get anything else to work. Any ideas? update: The display part of the app started working again after a Windows update. Very strange

Happy that it seems to work again! I've never seen that happen before, but if it does happen again. Can you please send me the options.json file from the C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\EliteG19s folder? That may help me figure out if something is going wrong.

I'm still have to force the video from the system tray onto my fourth display, and it works every time so no problem. Just wanted to add that info - Thanks again for the app.
