reprogramming PFC Cirrus Flight console for X-Plane
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2019 6:08 am
might be slightly offtopic, but I know that some experienced software developers are on this forum, so I will give it a try
I own a Cirrus PFC flight console (USB version) from Precision Flight control which I use for my PE flights, it works fine, but I would need different switch commands in X-Plane 11 for different airplanes. Since it is a Windows HID Device (but not a regular joystick): Do you think it is possible/feasable to write a custom driver for the flight console without support from the manufacturer? I have programming skills in C#, but never programmed any drivers before...
For Prepar3D it is possible to reprogram some of the functionality with Lua, but I guess for X-Plane I would need to write a complete new driver.
Thanks, Thomas
