| Hi Everyone, I am making a custom controller for FS17 and would like to have things like a RPM gauge on it that matches up with the RPM gauge in the game. I figured I would do this using an Arduino Due to simulate a keyboard / mouse or maybe a joystick for input. The Arduino can then set the RPM gauge or speedometer based on serial data a custom mod would have to be constantly feeding to the USB port. So long story short is there anyway to send data over a serial port from a mod? |

| Eric (or anyone else), ever have any luck in doing this? I have some custom controls built that talk to FS17, but want communication from FS17 to custom display. Thanks |

| Since the FS is running in a 'sandbox', it can't access regular system I/O functions. One can only work with XML files. That means you need a custom LUA script for FS, which writes continously your values into XML file. And an external program which reads this file and controls your external display or whatever. |
