Now I'm curious, does anyone have the link for Device Link.

I just did a search at UBI and failed to find it.

WOW

I forgot all about that post by Bear about my request to post a sticky on devicelink

I have been using DL for years to test the performance of in-game planes and comp them to real world data.

Since it was disabled online using it online never really interested me.

What was interesting was Oleg's reasoning (years ago on UBI) for not enabling it online

Orginally Oleg disabled the use of DL online because he knew you could do 'something' with it that would give you an 'edge' over other pilots

That 'somethihng' is being able to use DL data to create a normalised/specific 'energy state' (TE=KE+PE) guage.

Something I have been thinking of doing since this mod came out but never really got around to doing it

It would be pretty easy in that I have all the code allready writen, in that I wrote my own DL interface to log data for aircraft performance testing

But, you could do it with some of the current crop of DL interface out there for download

But I wanted to write a specific program to display it.. Running on a seperate PC.. Displayed on a seperate screen

Just like I do for performance testing

Only thing is Oleg and some others might consider this a 'cheat' but I see it 'feedback' in guage form that would make up for some of the real world feedback (read seat of the pants) that we don't get sitting at a desk with a PC.

Anyway just a thought

Maybe someone with more free time on thier hands can take this ball and run with it.
