Feature requests & suggestions / OpenCPN plugin for Bridge Command use
« on: August 31, 2016, 05:20:35 AM »
I'm thinking that a OpenCPN plug-in to show data from Bridge Command sessions is a grate idea!
- Radar overlay
- ohter navigatinal information like position, depth, heading

I’m thinking that a small radar program that connects to Bridge command is a grate ide. Like the radar mode in Bridcommand 4 but as it own program.
For exempel such small program run on a computor that runs FreeDos is a grete idea. Plese let me explain why:
Like emmbeded system
mouse or even better trackball for good user interface
contoll via keyboard
Use computors that are to old to upgrade.
Fullscreen radar simulation whit out need for expenciv eqipmnet
Bild your own radar simulation part to a bridge command based simlator set
or just use an old computor that
If it runns in FreeDos this type of program will probly run in dosbox as well
porting esalyd done just use dosbox on a verity of ohter systems...
GNU GPL licenced of coures!
This is just a start of a presentatin of these idea!
Priortise get these idea out before good spelling.

Bridge Command 5.0 beta 3 miss multipule joystick support. Multiple joystick options in Bridge Command 4.7 is a good future.
Can multi joystick option be enable for Bridge Command 5.0 beta 4?
Best regards Johan

I think it is a good idea to encureage others to link to and re-publish source code. Linking to https://www.bridgecommand.co.uk is of course interesting in this context.
I want to upload both source code packs and installer packs to my google drive. Have just after starting writing this post made a Bridge command folder:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B29c7zVoHRoQRjcybDRqeEY2cmM&usp=sharing
Testing it by uploading to URL files for them a had to use drag and drop function in Google drive web user interface. Less hassle with other files it seems.
I can provide extra download location for Bridge Command.
Just want to ask before I proceed whit this. May I  re-publish Bridge Command source code and installer packs?

Have a link to https://github.com/bridgecommand/bc is great but also link to:
https://github.com/bridgecommand/bc/releases
I think is a good idea because its make it easier to find source code that for specific release.
That will be good for computer program that uses GNU GPL.

NMEA 0183 is good to use for simulation. Exampels are sail simulator 5 and FlightGear. I use programs like OpenCPN and SeaClear for plotter and navigation. Whit more baud rate options for Bridge command can make it possible to have extra navigational data for own ship and as well AIS on-line for other ships and controlled ships. I have succeeded whit using 115200 baud rate for simulation programs mention above. Hows TCP/IP NMEA interface going? UDP for NMEA 0183 is a good idea according to me works in flightgear and OpenCPN.

Bug reports / NMEA via serial and multiscreen slow!
« on: June 08, 2014, 12:07:33 AM »
As I have mention earlier there is problem whit NMEA via serial that slow down simulation to much and in combination whit multi-screen (multi computer simulation) that gets worse. I have computers that exceeds the basic requirement to run bridge command 4.6 and do so well in standalone mode. Win7 64bit, Win 7 32bit and Win XP, OS ordered in most to least powerful computer.

Have NMEA baud rate of 38,400 as option would be nice. By the way the program bridge command 4.6 gos slowly when NMEA and multiscreen enabled at same time on a computer.
NMEA whit baud rate of 38,400 as option functioning at same time as multi session on main I whold like.
