X-Touch to Stream Deck +

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am thinking of switching from the X-Touch to the Stream Deck +.

Is reconfiguring the profiles simply a matter of going through each assignment and pressing/rotating the relevant control on the Stream Deck (obviously after installing the SD plugin) to tie the command/script to the new input?

Thanks, Daz

Edit: I've just learned that I basically call the same scripts from the SD software.

No, completely different tech. The StreamDeck is not just a "input device" in the sense of the word, and it does not send button presses or encoders.

Everything will have to be re-implemented using the Actions from the plugin, and it requires the back channel to display the state of what you do on the SD (so a button will show if a switch is up or down, or the touchstrip will show your selected altitude - etc. etc.).

Or you go to flightsim.to and find ready made SD profiles for your aircraft.

Thanks.

Just watched a couple of videos and understand the differences.

Shouldn't be too much of a struggle as I have all my scripts and know the events/variables for various aircraft. Just a matter of implementing into the SD software via your plugin. 

Should be interesting.

And implement the back channel too. You will also need graphics and icons. 

Starting with ready made profiles is really recommended.

Yeah, that was the main attraction over the X-Touch.

I have plenty of Guenseli's SD profiles to learn from.
