Passerelle, formerly known as "Saitek Flight Panels for Lua", is a Lua module to control your gaming devices. This module has been design to allow the Saitek/Logitech Flight Instrument Panel (FIP) device and X52 Pro flight stick to be controlled from Lua.
Back in 2011, the motivation was to allow Flight Simulator 2004 users to use the FIP with the simulator using Pete Dowson's FSUIPC and its Lua scripting capabilities. This module can now be used in a wide range of games and flight simulators integrating a Lua scripting engine.
The latest version is available in the releases page.
This module is based on Lua 5.1.4 and has been widely tested with:
With the latest version, it should work well using FSUIPC with:
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition
- Lockheed Martin's Prepa3D
Any game implementing a Lua engine like Blizzard's World of Warcraft should work too.
This section will give you a basic information on how to use a Lua script in your favorite games. In any case, always refer to the documentation provided by the script developer.
