Beko PharmParsing the Elite Dangerous JournalI gave in and changed my event forwarding method in <code>node-red</code> for the Elite Dangerous Journal. This file is updated on various in-game events but in a way that makes it difficult to get new events only since last update. Another problem is that it’s not really a valid <code>JSON</code> file because it has one <code>JSON</code> per line but it’s not a valid <code>JSON</code> array. This is why it has to be parsed line by line and mashed together by event type (name) again to get the latest data for each event type per dump. Each event has it’s own timestamp by set by the game. The latest timestamp is now saved on the special <code>flow</code> const so <code>node-red</code> keeps the value in the “global” memory of the current flow:<pre><code>msg.payload.event = "Journal";let newJournalTimestamp = flow.lastJournalTimestamp;Object.keys(msg.payload).forEach((key) => { if (msg.payload[key].timestamp) { const keyTimestamp = new Date(msg.payload[key].timestamp).getTime(); if (!flow.lastJournalTimestamp || flow.lastJournalTimestamp < keyTimestamp) { // this entry is new - keep it. MULTIPLE events may have the // same timestamp so wait with reassigning so we don't skip // em or get the latest a 2nd time if nothing else changes. // update the next latest timestamp if this is newer if(!newJournalTimestamp || newJournalTimestamp < keyTimestamp) { newJournalTimestamp = keyTimestamp; } } else { // lastJournalTimestamp is newer, skip this msg.payload[key] = null; } }});// make sure this is a valid date for the next timeflow.lastJournalTimestamp = newJournalTimestamp || new Date().getTime();// remove all nulled events from the payloadmsg.payload = Object.fromEntries( Object.entries(msg.payload).filter(([_, p]) => p !== null));msg.payload.timestamp = new Date(flow.lastJournalTimestamp);return { payload: msg.payload };</code></pre>So I do now keep track of the last read timestamp and reject every event that is older than the last read keeping the Journal dump smaller. This way I don’t have to try to keep track of the “latest” event to drag data from. Refuelling e.g. can happen from whopping 4 (or more) different events and it’s painful to compare all and check which one is the latest to keep track of the real current fuel levels for each tank.<a href="https://beko.famkos.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elite-dangerous-journal-via-mqtt-demo.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>Downside is I won’t get a full set of data for the current session any more if I have to reload my <code>HUD</code> app. This could be mitigated by using <code>MQTT</code> though where I could simply persist each event topic. That is already implemented and I can choose between <code>SocketIO</code> or <code>MQTT</code> in my app anyway.<a href="https://beko.famkos.net/2025/03/29/parsing-the-elite-dangerous-journal/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://beko.famkos.net/2025/03/29/parsing-the-elite-dangerous-journal/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/elitedangerous/" target="_blank">#EliteDangerous</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/elitedangerousodyssey/" target="_blank">#EliteDangerousOdyssey</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/homecockpit/" target="_blank">#homeCockpit</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/mqtt/" target="_blank">#MQTT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/nodered/" target="_blank">#NodeRed</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/simpit/" target="_blank">#simpit</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://beko.famkos.net/tag/socketio/" target="_blank">#SocketIO</a>

Beko PharmShowing off new features for my home cockpit: Priority alerts, sounds and more status indicatorsThis uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT.

Beko PharmWorked for ~3h on my <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/X4Foundations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#X4Foundations</a> ship telemetry extension live on stream. Has been a while that I worked on my <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/SimPit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SimPit</a> code. Took a while until I had an idea again what is what but in in the end I got Boost status/recharge mapped to what is usually the FSD status in <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/EliteDangerous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EliteDangerous</a> and I now have a flare count in the Loadout event (it just doesn't update yet when dispensed, that's another event I haven't implemented yet).

Beko PharmAce Combat 7 with FULL SBS on PC? And head tracking? Hell yes :DSo bear with me if I mix something up, this is all news to me and I’m still flabbergasted. I got myself some XR glasses mostly for watching movies and perhaps some gaming on the Steam Deck a while ago.Now I learned about “SBS” (Side-By-Side) mode like ~3 days ago, that the glasses support. I tried this with the game Elite Dangerous first, since this has an SBS mode built in too, and was mind blown. My current favourite time stink is Ace Combat though so I started digging.Turns out there is this Reshade tool that would forcefully enable such a mode for basically any game with the right shader. Several exist but the first I found, “SuperDepth3D.fx”, seems to do the trick. Enabling it split the 1920×1024 in half with two slightly different view ports, one for each eye. There are many options to fine tune this and I’m still fiddling with this to find the perfect settings but results look great already.<a href="https://beko.famkos.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ace_combat_7-sbs-demo-f021238-scaled.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>My glasses do Full SBS though and have a resolution of 3840×1024. I read somewhere that wide-screen is possible with more DLL shenanigans with Ace Combat 7 too but I run the game on a Linux PC anyway, where we utilise a tool named “gamescope”. This allows basically to configure a virtual display for each game and override the game resolution in various ways. It also has a stretch option, which is exactly what I needed to get the “compressed” SBS view from 1920 to 3840, where the aspect ratio would fit again. BTW: This also has FSR built in so any upscaling looks good enough too. I’m not entirely sure but I think there’s a similar tool on Windows called “Virtual Deskop”?Anyway, I already managed to get my head tracker working by mapping the output to a virtual gamepad on the look-around axes before. I also found a mod that enables a wider FOV. Imagine my stupid grinning when everything fell into place: Full SBS with head tracking, a more sane FOV and yes, I jumped all the hoops to get my HOTAS and rudder pedal of my old ViperPit working (which is a different story because my devices are so old that I had to upgrade em to USB before, which involved some Arduinos, programming and soldering). I guess that makes me a member of multiple niches at once 🤓<a href="https://beko.famkos.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ace_combat_7-anaglyph-demo.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>And since I’m aware that nobody can “see” what I’m talking about, without having XR glasses or a VR headset (or a DIY VR Box for smart phones) on their own, have also an Anaglyph 3D render. This requires just some old school two coloured (red and cyan) glasses often made of paper, that many people still have around somewhere, to get an idea.<a href="https://beko.famkos.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ace_combat_7-sbs-demo-f024705-scaled.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>The colour of the sky?
