Need stable AIP for telemetry data - used for 2-6 dof motion platforms

[keem85]

People have been asking for ages. It's pretty clear that they don't care for this, and that it would most probably never happen. Especially for D-box users.

+1 for telemetry support. I just purchased a Yaw VR and main game I wanted it for is Elite Dangerous.

Please support motion telemetry! This is new tech and it's in your best interest to help advance gaming!!!

Bump

Download Sim Racing Studio App

1. Nothing to do just start the game (SRS App v40 and above required)
2. Might not work all the time (see notes below)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. ED does not officially support telemetry, that said, every time the developer update the game, it might break and take from 1 - 7 days to get back to work.
2. If we are able to fix it, it will automatically download next time you open the app
3. But It might stop working forever. We can't guarantee
4. We strongly encourage you to ask for API telemetry support in this forum: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...ata-used-for-2-6-dof-motion-platforms.400404/

I wholeheartedly support this petition. Currently using HPG2 and YawVr with HCS voicepacks. Specifically to play ED for the most part.

Please add a telemetry API. It would make ED even more fun to play

Plus one from me. Using a DOF Reality P3 platform with SimRacingStudio, most of the time I've spent using the platform has been spent in ED. It'd be awesome to not have to worry about each update making motion unusable.

Every single time you do a patch you break telemetry for everyone using motion simulators.

PLEASE ADD TELEMETRY API SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1+ for this

 

[Neilski]

I can't believe Elite doesn't already have this fully up and running.
+1
Btw, would be grateful for links to the docs for whatever (limited) output it does give at present.

Edit: subsequent googling has led me to the conclusion that there simply is no output at present - the rigs that people are using are having to directly read values from the game executable's memory, with all the convenience and stability that this implies

+1
Please Frontier, would be great if you added a native motion platform/telemetry api
just got into motion simulators myself recently and any support here would be appreciated to make it easier for us

Thanks
Cheers

Bump! Frontier Devs, please listen to your customers, the information requested must already be generated by the game, surely wouldn’t take too much effort to support motion telemetry

Also, Next Level Racing is more than happy to work with developers to get drivers built for their platforms...just FYI. I'm sure other platform vendors are as well.

 

[gorankar]

Much as I think they should support this, they can't even support more than 32 buttons on a single controller.

Another patch and motion is broken again. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Frontier add an API for motion platforms.

Here is a link to Sim Racing Studio's guidance on how to build an API: https://gitlab.com/simracingstudio/srsapi

 

[sherlockweebles]

I very much support a basic motion plug-in API. This game would be amazing if my motion platform reacted to in game motions, like collisions, gettting shot, getting pulled out of hyperdrive, etc.

 

[TheRealBlaine]

Can anyone confirm whether SimRacingStudio is working with Odyssey?

 

[Konstruukt]

@TheRealBlaine SRS isn't working currently with Odyssey, it still works with Horizons though.

I created an issue requesting official telemetry output https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/34569
