PAW and VMware - a request too far.....
« on: May 06, 2017, 11:21:27 pm »
Hi all,

This may not be possible but just a thought I had this evening.

I would like to be able to play back my track files in to SkyDemon without having to use the PAW device. One option is for someone to develop an application to achieve this but I certainly don't have the skills and not sure how much interest there would be.

The other option (if possible) is to run the PAW software in a virtual environment (VMware). From a little reading I believe that Pi is based on Debian - if so, I could build a Linux virtual machine, install PAW (some how) and then run track files as required and play them in to SkyDemon on my PC/iPad etc.

Another part of the plan is to edit the track files to remove unneeded time (taxi, part of cruise etc as scrubbing isn't currently possible) so it'd be easy to view the parts you want - hence being able to do this in a virtual environment is a lot easy than transferring files back and fourth on the real device!

Is this even possible or a pi....pe dream too far!?

Thanks
Rob
