In-Development Information Display for Logitech Flight Instrument Panel

[Krakers]

Good morning all,

just a quick question.
Is it possible to change the default folder/drive where this app is looking for the journal.log-file?
Based on some interoperabllity I would like to move the FIPs to a seperate PC.
The home directory of the PC Elite is running on is already mapped (Drive Z
Now I need to change your app pointing to "z:/home folder" instead of "C:/home folder"

So far I used it other way - Just mount journal folder on separate PC just where FIP is looking for journal files.

Assuming both PCs run windows and are present in the same LAN, go to PC where you play ED and share (right click -> properties) folder "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous" in LAN, then go to your PC where you want to read FIP, find shared folder in Network, find it's path and write in powershell:

New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous" -Target "\\SERVERNAME\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous"

first path for where FIP will look for journal, and second for source path in your network.

For me it works for few months already.

I just added the requested feature to the latest version 1.9.3

I know. I shared my solution, because it becomes handy if you use FIP alongside with other apps where journal path is hardcoded

Does anyone else have the problem that the planets and stars are listed twice in the system map?
Sometimes right after each other, sometimes at the end Witz 2 System names.
Systems are also no longer written to the bodies folder.
I've tried different original versions without success...

 

[Evan Kurst]

Cool, thank you.
I will download the version 1.9.3 and test remote access.

The star is also listed twice on EDSM, which is the source of the data on the fip panel.

So, I can't fix that problem in the fip panel :

good morning mhwlng
Ah ok.

Then maybe I'm not as stupid as I thought

At first I thought it was my changes.
But then I tried several original versions with the same result.

It also doesn't create a file in the bodies folder, as far as I've noticed.

Thanks for taking the time and checking it out!

It also doesn't create a file in the bodies folder, as far as I've noticed.

That is correct. A file is only created, in the bodies directory, if it is discovered 100%.

According to EDSM, this system is discovered 300% (see the orange bar at the top of the screenshot above )

hello mhwlng

Is there any way to put the "landable" text on the right side?
As with "distance" the Ls

Thanks in advance
PhilippT

@PhilippT

Sure, just change navigation.cshtml to something like this :

    <tr>
        <td class="caption">@m.subType</td>
        <td class="data right">
            @(m.isScoopable == true ? "Fuel Star":"")
            @if (m.isLandable == true)
            {
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(m.atmosphereType) && m.atmosphereType.ToLower().Contains("thin"))
                {
                    @Html.Raw("<span class=\"alarm2\">&nbsp;Landable&nbsp;</span>")
                }
                else
                {
                    @Html.Raw("<span class=\"alarm\">&nbsp;Landable&nbsp;</span>")
                }
            }
        </td>
    </tr>

Hello mhwlng

Is there a way to increase the scroll speed?

 

[mhwlng]

No, the 15 year old fip panel technology is the bottleneck.

 

[mhwlng]

@PhilippT I found another way, you can now edit panelsettings.config with any scroll settings that you like :

see version 1.9.4

Update to .net framework 4.8

Add scroll acceleration (see readme.md and panelsettings.config)

 

[PhilippT]

You are amazing!!
What would we do without you?

 

[BeDub]

Has anyone had an issue with the loading of the app and freezing while "Loading Populated Systems"?

 

[mhwlng]

Try to re-download the files from github again. One of the json files in the data directory may have gotten corrupted.

 

[BeDub]

That did the trick. I should have done that in the first place. Thank you for your support.
