Wha' ? :huh: :chair:

Glad you liked it, Lindbergh. I could have made a dedicated JTAC mission but decided to use the JTAC element as the climax of a mission with other requirements and objectives so players could get the sense, not just of how JTAC works in-game, but how it might be integrated operationally into a combat mission.

Multi monitor set-up guide: DCS-A10c & BlackShark 2 Display your MFCDs, CDU, RWR etc on a 2nd, 3rd etc monitor Initial note: This guide is to help people create bespoke multimonitor configurations in DSC-Warthog, no matter what your configuration the principles are the same. Please add any tips or correct any errors i have made. I'll adjust this accordingly. My set-up is two 22inch displays side by side, i'll use this as the primary example, but the logic covers any set-up. I have included several monitor set-up examples to help explain the principles. Essential Requirements: Full screen OFF (ingame). Extended desktop enabled in Windows. The 'primary' monitor, in Windows, needs to be your top left most monitor, otherwise you may have problems. You need to create one lua file. BlackShark 2 note: Shkval is Left_MFCD Abris is Right_MFCD ** Before editing DCS files please read this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=599686&postcount=1 The Guide: 3 steps Step 1: 1st thing you need to do is workout your total resolution of your combined monitors. Use the image below to help you work this out if you are unsure. Here you will find 3 example layouts.. Note this figure down, this is your combined resolution. Step 2: Create you own bespoke multimonitor *.lua file and save it here: \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup\ How do this: (Read through this entire section before starting your *lua file), 1st time through you might well go WTF!, but trust me it is not that complicated. :) First look at the default existing files in this location; (\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup\). They are good examples and the default ones provided with the game: There is one example original ED file: LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD.lua My example: My_example.lua NOTES: What it all means: ED have used wording rather than numeric x/y coordinates. This is to allow flexibility. You can also use this format, but i find it more complicated, so i use the numeric pixel option. In ED's method screen.width = the combined width of all your monitors, (x), screen.height = the combined height of all your monitors, (y). So for me screen.width = 3360 (2x1680), screen.height = (1050) I wanted both MFCDs on my 2nd monitor, this is located on the right of my main monitor. Both my monitors are 1680x1050. Center = your cockpit view x=0, y=0; is always located at the top left corner of your 'primary' monitor, in Windows. The x & y coordinates always refer to the top left corner of each element. i.e the location of each MFCD is their top left corner. You do not generally need to edit viewDx, viewDy or aspect. But it's worth checking the aspect ratio. This is calculated by dividing your width by height of you cockpit monitor. name = is the name that will be displayed in the game options drop down under Monitors. (Make it unique) width = & height = are x & y resolutions in pixels associated with each item, cockpit (centre), MFCDs, RWR, CDU etc. Look at the spoilers below to explain the x/y system: Screen coordinates explanation: 3 example setups to help explain screen coordinates. Both x & y start on the top left corner of the left most monitor. x goes across the horizontal while y goes down the vertical. My example set-up displayed: - putting it into practice, refer to my lua file My_example.lua above to understand what is going on. Ok now you should be able to start creating your own bespoke multi-monitor file accordingly to your own set-up, if i have made this clear enough and you have wrapped your brain around how this all works. I'd suggest you use my example above and edit it to suite your setup. You need to save this file as file type .lua and save it in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup. Step 3: Launch the game.. go to Options. (Here you need to do two things) Firstly you should now be able to select your bespoke file from the drop down list labelled; MONITORS (If it is not in the list you have most likely made a small mistake with the lua code.. check for missing { , ) etc. if any part of the code is missing it will not be available to select.) Secondly you need to enter your combined resolution, you can simply type this in. This is the total resolution you worked out at the start of this guide. See image below: Your aspect ratio will alter itself. General Notes: You can edit you monitor file on the fly, i.e without having to quit the game. Can save a lot of hassle. If you don't get the results you want simply quit flight, alt tab, edit the file, alt tab back and click fly again... your new setting will be used. I hope this is clear enough. Enjoy.

Well - I finished my MiG-29. Now it´s available for LockOn FC.1.12 and BS . I hope that I can test it in FC2.0 in future... It have arround 30.000 triangles and the latest LOD have arround 15.000triangles. It works online My best wishes, TOM

Hey Const. Are they using the same forward proxy server though? This is an nginx error message, and I know that's what you guys are using, not a vbulletin or php error message. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nginx#Error:_The_page_you_are_looking_for_is_temporarily_unavailable._Please_try_again_later. It suggests the root cause would be a problem with FastCGI not running; perhaps in your case, it is/was running, but has configuration limits (number of connections or fastcgi processes in parallel), or instability causing it to periodically bomb and restart? http://nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2009-August/014307.html http://nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2009-October/016166.html Probably nothing that is news to you, but perhaps some good luck or leads to be found in this direction (I can hope). It also makes me wonder if simply the handler/wrapper for fastcgi being used is actually up to the task. For example, a limitation of fcgiwrap ( http://nginx.localdomain.pl/wiki/FcgiWrap ) - whether or not this is one of the things used in your stack - is that it seems to only handle 1 process/request at a time, essentially serializing requests unless you run a bunch of them together and load balance over them as necessary. As soon as you run out of these things though because they're too busy, FastCGI is going to appear unavailable to nginx, wouldn't that be right? All in all, I have no complaints, though I can say in the last few weeks I see these outage messages 2-3 times every day at least, and have to give sometimes 30 mins or more before it is gone. Last had it occur about 23 mins ago from now.

Hello to everyone, It's been about more than a year since I have wanted to make my own version of force controlled joystick. With some incouragement of some friends - It has been back to the sketch board... Here's are the resuts: 2 Prototypes: Single axis and Dual axis configuration. attached are files describing HowTo's and some pictures. If ther's an interest- I'll further explain how its possible to make almost any joystick to become A force controlled one... The coin in one of the pics is a NIS (NEW ISRAELI SHEKEL), It's diameter is 18 mm. BTW The stick grip in the pic is A VERY OLD stick that I had. I definatly intend to replace it with a modern one...:thumbup: LC2MC.pdf

ТС не лавочка в сквере - "просто" сидеть не надо. У нас нет возможности и времени анализировать и разбираться, кто "просто", а кто "уши греет" в канале противоборствующей стороны. Внимание, сегодня (18/12/10г.) в 21.00 МСК сервер РАФ будет приостановлен на 2 часа для проведения внутренней тренировки сквада. Приносим извещения за неудобства.

shhhhhhhhh (reverse psychology) :P

Верю про время, просто серваку вывод в 3д и графика как раз накер не нужа, а так, пара галок была бы по желанию пользователя просто сервер или летабельный сервер:) Во всяком случае, в режиме сервака, да и просто при загрузки гклиента не нужно 3д выводить, отставить 2д картинку, а то шамансто вечное в скриптах приходится применять... Ну больше чем уверен. нашлись бы волонтеры при нормальном сдк, которые сделали бы 1-2 летабельных крафта за тот период, пока идет разработка а10 (тем более реальных пилотов в DCS есть, которые бы оттестили модели), коли траблы с лицензиями, то можно и обзывать кликухами :) А народ сам исправит потом названия:) Ну и можно ведь упростить часть кабины, (касаемо летабельного "саппорта"), зато на сколько бы интересность миссий можно было поднять, (это задел на динамические кампании).. ПыСы добавить триггеры - , вернее изменить сам триггер группа цела на - группа цела 25%, группа цела 50%, группа цела 75%, группа цела 100%, или хотя бы один - группа цела более 50%. (т.е. у него сработка - если хотябы 1 юнит в группе разбит, т.е. группа уже чисто целой не считается и бдет 3 варианта тогда - разбита, частично разбита и цела :)

Hi there... I finally got to a tomporary residence... until my house will be built... But the reason for this update is this tiny board. It can be used as an independent module and as such can be fitted on many types of interfaces,such as , Mjoy , LEO's boards and many others... You might even want to convert you current joystick that can be of any brand. (you need ofcourse to take care of the mechanical side...) Here's a sample of the second version of the prototype.(the coins diameter is 18 mm) When I'll get some time to arrange the layout and some documentation - ill post it... I still wish to add some features as described on the comment above, yet, this setup is working you may use it freely...:thumbup: Any comments and or suggestions are welcomed... Nir

Always hated the Harrier so good riddence to that eyesore.

долго ломал голову что такое ТБС и так не угадал...(устал наверное к вечеру):)...Так хочется знать конечно почему убрали до лучших времен...но "дисциплина") сказали нет значит НЕТ - остается только гадать - наверное зарубежной публике (судя по онлайну и его малочислености со стороны иностранных вирпилов) и так дается тяжело освоение ДКС, а здесь еще одно усложнение...вот и боится продюсер ЕД снижение продаж на этом фоне.

FSX "combat" jets...LMFAO.

The pre 1.02 training tracks weren't that good to be honest. They weren't interactive in the normal sense but just a long speech and automatic control while you sit there with your hands folded. The extended FM and DCS windowed on the ground with some ground power and playing with the ABRIS will teach you so much more.

hello, I've downloaded the ABRIS_Advanced_Moving_Map_System_Video_EN from the Download section at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=133&scr=products&lang=en however, I did not managed to start this mission after installation. I did not find it in missions and since I'm using 1.02 I can not use training. as those files are quite recent (after the patch was released) I thought that they are supporting the latest patch. please help me run the training. it's much better to learn how to use simulators when you're actually doing something and not getting bored while someone else doing all the good stuff in some youtube video. thanks RifleFighter

Well, for those are interesting in my tales :) as my departure to Afghanistan paradise has been delayed (next week has to be the one, as I got yesterday the full equipment), I decided to drill another panel, before definitevely pack everything to my garage. So here you find the last product of my sick mind, just drilled and tested the switches / switch-guard effects. I'm pretty sure next post will come from Kabul. Cheers Jocman
