Nowplaying is still working fine.
I have been busy working on my virtual cockpit to be used with flight and racing simulators. I decided on building one that would be more universal. This is what I have so far.
39" HDTV monitor
Thrustmaster Warthog Stick and Throttle (also with a home built extension for better precision)
Saitek Combat Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
19" Monitor for displaying extracted gauges for those sims that support it
66 buttons and switches using GP-Wiz40 and BU0836X cards and Xpadder
7 potentiometers for Analog Axis controls such as trim
A cardstock interchangable button template system so labels can quickly be changed for each sim
Il-2 1946 running

Sample cardstock button template
