This uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT. Various subscriber listen on the new messages to run blinken lights and my HUD app. I’m using the well known message format also used by Elite Dangerous so it’s compatible with that game as well.

That’s so cool.
Looks like Elite dangerous, I’m just trying to work out what ship you’re in?
Have you tried VR? How does it compare to the sim set up?
It’s compatible with Elite Dangerous, and I like it’s colour theme more this is why it looks familiar I guess.
It’s a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica, that I really like. So I try to either fly Vipers or VF-1 from Macross, what I also dig :-)
I also fly with XR (3D thanks to SBS mode). VR gives me motion sickness and has some other drawbacks [for me]. See my ViperPit videos to get an idea how that looks 👍
