Banshee Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Just received mine after Amazon prime days et just started to tinker with it ... very nicely made and very useful to quickly decongest your keyboard ... I'm looking for WWII style instruments/knobs/buttons icons if somebody as already made some and .. maybe advices : are you using the stream deck program or the Simdesk version with autohotkey to create macros ?!... A lot of stuff are really well made on DCS forums (which can make very complex integrated in-out interactions) but I'm looking for more simpler things and trying to give it a more "warbird" feeling ... I can post links if some are interested to discover it...

Actually I only have found informations on http://www.checksix-forums.com/ or https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=189194 but they all are for DCS and as they have made some very complex in-out interactions between one or more Elgato boxes and the DCS software...And it's irrelevant (for now) for IL2 ... For the time being I only use it as a simple "macro box" to decongest my keyboard for example for the coms , flares , trims , gyro gunsight , cameras , multi engines , etc,etc... It's very quick and easy to implement and as you can add icons on the LCD keys its very clear and pleasant to use ...

For the moment I don't use "complex" macro keys (succession of keys with timers to create automated action (for example : select red flare - fire flare - put away flaregun) or retroaction (LCD icon can change after action) but only very easy shortcut attribution ... If you want you can make thoses more complex task using autohotkey or the simdeck software which was made by WOTEVER for racing sims and transform the Elgato on a "regular" additional button box (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/simdeck.23296/) ... But I haven't tried it yet I include some very ugly pictures of my first attempt to use this box !...In real life the LCD panel are much much sharper and the brightness is dimmable !...

So, the software for stream deck has had macros for some time, well. In fact, I'm looking at the Sim deck software and the OEM software now covers pretty much all of those features. I'm looking at starting a profile for il2 tonight.

Banshee Posted July 27, 2019 Author Posted July 27, 2019 Just few example which can be quickly done in few hours ...Only using the free online Elgato icon editor and icons found everywhere online ... I'm sure with other "real" image editors much much more could be done but...not my expertise !... Still only using simple macros to clear the keyboard/hotas ... So the full newbie basic level of the product !... If somebody has reach a next level , also advices are welcome !...
