Streamdeck+ Dial Compatability?

[DesignsOAK]

Does streamdeck-dcs-interface already support the new Streamdeck+ dials or is that planned for future versions?

[charlestytler]

It does not currently support it. I just looked at the SDK documentation and it looks like they haven’t updated it for Dial Stacks yet. Do you already have a + that you could report back compatibility? I don’t have access to one, but it looks like it might be set up similar to multi actions.

Thanks for the response! I did just pick up a Streamdeck+ and am using it along side the XL version in DCS. The plus has 8 normal Streamdeck square "Keys" that work exactly like the previous versions - so yes, that part is DCS compatible using your interface options (switches, buttons, incrementals). The new rotary "Dials" on the plus have "Hotkeys" assignments that you can assign a keybind for press and Clockwise/Counterclockwise functionality. You can also "Dial Stack" the rotary dials, so pressing them can change their rotary functions (ie, the dial changes a volume, then after a press it changes radio tune, etc.). The dial hotkeys require a keyboard assignment in DCS and none of your DCS options cannot be assigned to them currently. It would be ideal to extend incremental DCS IDs via ID lookup to these rotary dials and dial presses. The plus is a great enhancement for DCS as is - hopefully your streamdeck-dcs-interface can be extended to really take advantage of the new dials.

Agree this would be great to support and it opens up a lot of options for radio and other panels.
I found this thread about SDK support is still being worked on from Elgato: https://www.reddit.com/r/StreamDeckSDK/comments/ywad9v/stream_deck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

But I will take a look and see if there is an easy way to enable the increment buttons to work for the dials.

I'm also curious about the LCD panel, would be cool to span text across it where it wouldn't look too broken (between the four slots)

Thanks - standing by to assist if i can!

More than happy to help with this as well.

Hi ctytler - any breakthroughs on adding streamdeck+ dial and LCD compatibility to your DCS interface? Happy holidays!

[ryanwoodcox]

It looks like Elgato just recently updated the sdk to support this new device!

Gudday Charlie,
I'm also happy to help with this anyway I can, grabbed a Streamdeck+ soon as I heard of them, love those dials :)

Hi Charles, thanks for all the time you spend on this project!
I too would be very interested in using the SD+ dials with your plugin.

[davidp57]

Hi, any news on that front?
I'd be more than happy to help and/or test!

Hi all, I've been away from this project for a while with a cross-country move and a busy work period in my real job over the last year so haven't been able to commit time to this. I will come back to this, but it may not be until the winter months when my calendar opens up a bit.

Ok, thanks for sharing and good luck with the move!
Any way I could help with the project?

I am not in any way capable of coding or help in any other way, but I CAN express my gratitude for your fantastic plugin. Here too, my Streamdeck+ rotaries are eager to get assigned some nice DCS commands so I am very interested in any development!

[J4P032]

Hope this can be implemented in future. The deck is ok but dials are great for VR, so I hope this can go on and use the radios for example in the F18. Thanks!

Thanks for your project, you have done a really great job and I really enjoy using it.

It would be great if you could expand the capabilities to include the Streamdeck+ dials. Let me know how I can help.
