Are there any plans to have any type of supported add on's in the game, in regards to UI customization or data collection? There are quite a few of us building elaborate Simpit set ups and would love to have the ability to configure additional screens for MFD's for valuable information.asked by Ghostwolf
TL;DRRoberts says a long-term API for things like secondary screens and economy data is planned, but it is not an early priority and has no timeline.
Yeah, so I think this is where we're sort of talking about having this API available from the game, to allow people to scrub some economy data, or also get inputs or date for secondary screens and stuff. So, longer term, yes. We've said we want to do that, so those are things that would definitely be on the list. They would not be obviously the first up, because let's get the game finished and get it done, and let everyone adventure around it, but long term we would. This is not going to be a short term project, I mean, it hasn't really been for you guys, because you've backed it and stayed with it. It's obviously taking longer, but it's going to be much bigger and I think, much better than everyone was originally thinking it was going to be because it's got a level of detail that's just going to be amazing. But, it is something we're going to commit to longer term and these are the sorts of features that once the base version is up and running, we'll start to add on this extra stuff. The more stuff that people can connect into it, the more that they'll be able to add their own, user generated content, and all that stuff. So that is something that we'd put on our long term roadmap, and have in fact some of it we've already announced that we would have an app that would hook into say, your mobiGlas, and you could check on like an account, or arrange for a meetup with people, or transfer stuff around in system on an app, and we've definitely talked about secondary screen stuff. We'll probably also do secondary screen stuff also for the high end Saitek HOTAS that we're developing with them, so yes. Long term, we definitely want to create some level of API for you guys, because I think it would add to – it's amazing what you guys have managed to do without us providing any of that, so imagine what if we did provide you something like that.
