Aerowinx PSX Smart Interface

Packagist Packagist Packagist

This add-on for Aerowinx PSX provides a variety of features that are necessary for those using extensive flight simulator hardware:

  • It combines analog inputs, such as those of separated flight controls, in multi-pilot setups that are not mechanically linked.
  • It allows assignment of hardware components to controls in PSX, such as tillers & brakes, EICAS brightness dials, and weather radar buttons & rotaries, seamlessly integrating with PSX.

... all configurable with a UI that is simple & easy to use, much like that of PSX itself.

Usage

Note: This software is an add-on for Aerowinx PSX. PSX is required and should be running for this add-on to operate properly.

General

Extract the SmartInterface folder from the SmartInterface-1.2.3.zip archive. Inside that folder, run SmartInterface.jar by double-clicking on it.

Note: The SmartInterface.jar file must be in the same directory as the included .dll files (natives) due to library dependencies. Alternatively, if the .dll files are moved to a directory that is part of the Java PATH, SmartInterface.jar can run independently.

Networking

This add-on relies on the IP address and TCP port specified in the automatically generated general.cfg file (generated in the same directory as the .jar file) to interface with the PSX server, so the server must be unrestricted on the network and configured to run based on the settings in the configuration file. By default, this configuration specifies a connection to localhost:10747.
