PE on Twitch

[bbuckley]

Thanks Keith,
Occam's razor at work... "the simplest explanation is usually the correct one". I was digging around in obscure settings in my RealTec audio and the broadcast settings. I overlooked the obvious. I'll try it Mon, out of town for the weekend. Before I left I downloaded X-Split Gamecaster and quickly set it up.

Struggling with balancing audio from FSX, PE and mic for Twitch through Open Broadcast Software. Should I be using another broadcast software app? Any suggestions on settings? The FSX sound is perfect, the PE audio is blasting, and my mic is just audible. I'm using the Game Console source. I have everything from the PC directed to the headset, and I'm using a spare aviation headset with a USB adaptor since I had the headset. Any suggestions appreciated.

Bruce,

You can set the output volume for the mic and speakers on the OBS screen before clicking start streaming.

Thanks John. I adjusted those after you pointed them out and I think I have it licked now.

Related question: I use a lua script and FSUIPC to interface to my iPad and and pass GPS to ForeFlight. I tried using Reflector 2 to mirror the iPad show I could capture it with OBS but every time I start FSX, Reflector 2 quits. I assume the lua script and Airplay are clashing on the wifi. How do others mirror and stream / record ForeFlight?

Bruce, I use AirServer for the PC, works great.

How do you connect to ForeFlight? FSXFlight? I'm using a non-commercial lua script that is probably the issue. I just tried AirServer and it crashes also. I have a pretty high end new machine I just built myself (I7-4790K, 16GB DDR3, 500GB SSD, GTX970, etc...). I'll buy FSXFlight if that is compatible.

I use X-Plane, not FSX. X-Plane has native connectivity to ForeFlight.

How do you connect to ForeFlight? FSXFlight?

Yes I use FSXFlight for FSX and now with Prepar3D. There are no issues that I have seen.

I am just getting into X-Plane and love the fact that there is builtin connectivity with WingX Pro and Foreflight.

I checked out a few of your twitch broadcasts and it doesn't look like you are mirroring and capturing ForeFlight along with FSX. I sent an email to FSXFlight support to ask if Airplay and FSXFlight are compatible over WiFi. I have the FF to FSX connection solid, it just clashes if I try to use Airplay to mirror the iPad and capture it for broadcast or recording.
Thanks for your help!

If you haven't already paid for foreflight, may I suggest fltplan go. It is free as well as the connector app. I use it with AirPlay server and p3d with no issues. You can see it in action on the last few I-ratings.

My twitches are about as bare bones as they can be. I am in the process of adding things as I go. As a matter of fact I didn't know that I could add my iPad to the stream. I can barely figure out how to put a basic window around my screen.

I will try to mess with it tonight as I should have some time.
