Spent some time thinking about how to get more people into serious sims like bms, got the following idea:
- Have students stream their 3d world and cockpit sensors to an instructor.
- Let the instructor view streams from multiple students in parallel, to see what the students are doing.
I've developed a working prototype for such a software (it does all the above, but as a prototype, is a little messy to set up). Tested it together with a dutch friend today and it seems to work very well.
So I'm looking for some input on how you think such a software should work from user and also developer standpoints.
-------------------
NEW release, 8998 - ATTENTION NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE (both instructors and students need to update for this new version to work)
- rev8998 solves the problem with the video being offset horizontally.
There's no documentation, but it's quite simple to use.
It contains 3 items.
- VcRedist, Student folder and Instructor folder.
- Both students and instructors need to install the vcredist.
INSTRUCTORS
- Need to have java installed.
- Need to open port 12346 (yes, not 12345 :))
- Just launch the "start.bat" inside the instructor folder
STUDENTS
- Copy the contents of the student folder to their falcon x86 folder.
- Set callsign(IMPORTANT!), bandwidth, stream resolutions and instructor IP (to stream to) in the stream_trainer.ini
- Run the FalconDisplaysExposer.exe instead of Falcon BMS.exe
