It seems ok but.... The correct formatting of the .lua is very important. That is why Notepad++ is so important for editing .lua files I don't know if this was a case of your copy/paste that lost the formatting or if it even makes a difference but here goes.. Line 1 on yours is this: _= function(p) return p; end; It should be this: _ = function(p) return p; end; Notice the spaces on either side of the equal sign. Compare yours to an existing .lua again just to make sure you did not lose any formatting..... This is just one step to make sure you are on the right path.

BWAAAA....it's all in Chinese...good luck trying to get your pictures off of a site that is in a country full of knock-off...hacks and downright intellectual property thieves. Good luck with the pictures ;)

Nope....TARS will transmit over the correct radio in TS3 by holding the button, provided you mapped it correctly in the TARS control panel. If i hold mic switch forward it xmits over VHF am...mic switch down xmits over UHF...mic switch aft xmits over VHF FM. I also use the pinky switch as a modifier to get to the ingame menus but this is mapped within DCS. I cleared all the mic switch commands within DCS so that TARS/TS3 is priority on my WH Hotas mic switch and like I said above ingame menus now require the pinky switch as the modifier and then the mic switch to select the correct radio. I love TARS...its about as realistic as you can get.. Thank You Headspace for an awesome program!!!!

I'll assume that you are using a 1920x2160 resolution in the ingame gui resolution setting. The biggest issue I see is that your cmsc and cmsp numbers are equal for width and height which is the main issue here it needs to rectangular shape, as in the length should be longer that its height. Loz's profile has a readme that refers to a BMFCD.lua he uses. This by itself would have got you the correct numbers for width and height of all the exports So start by making your width and height numbers match what Loz has in his BMFCD.lua that was included with his profile. After that it is just a matter of adjusting the x and y coordinates to get them into the right position, it looks as if you are close with those numbers Loz's BMFCD.lua below _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('BMFCD'); Description = 'BMFCD' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 6048; height = 1200; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.04; } } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 7454; y = 120; width = 445; are equal for width and height height = 445; } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 6115; y = 120; width = 445; height = 445; } CMSC_SCREEN = { x = 6904; y = 141; width = 230; height = 49; } CMSP_SCREEN = { x = 7123; y = 190; width = 270; height = 70; } RWR_SCREEN = { x = 6648; y = 161; width = 175; height = 175; } DIGIT_CLOCK = { x = 6528; y = 830; width = 122; height = 122; } UHF_FREQUENCY_STATUS = { x = 6683; y = 565; width = 120; height = 30; } UHF_PRESET_CHANNEL = { x = 6796; y = 477; width = 30; height = 30; } UHF_REPEATER = { x = 6704; y = 695; width = 110; height = 30; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

You are a bit confused about windowed mode and how it works in DCS but it isn't really worth explaining it. Just remember that Full screen has to be unchecked if you plan on exporting to viewports to a second monitor. There is a way around this but it involves using SoftTH which may be out of your current expertise in setting it up. Please start reading tthese next few links to fully understand what is required for the setup you have and your particular needs. Good luck http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=138 The relevant forum http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815 Exporting Viewports http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70716 multimonitor setup http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71710 SoftTH News You will notice that a lot of this applies to A10 but BS2 is exactly the same in setting it up but the files that need editing will be in the BS2 folder instead of the A10. Its a lot of reading and some of the begining posts are out of date and the procedures are updated near the end of the topics but most here can get you going in the right direction once you get a better understanding of the terminology and processes used to make this happen.

If you go back 2 pages myself and Headspace were mentioning how we use this in our posts. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1390427&postcount=529

I spent 18 years in aircraft maintenance and we use to do the same thing to fix them. Sometimes the panel was not sitting flush and just pushing on it was enough to make the connection better.

If this is of any help last night we flew with 8 A10's all had 124.00 set on VHF am and all comms worked perfect. Flights were divided into 2 ships with each 2 ship having its own UHF frequency...worked perfect for each of the 4 2 ship elements. I personally remapped my TS3/TARS PTT using the TARS control panel to act like the real A10 with my Warthog Hotas: Mic Switch FWD VHF AM transmit-worked perfect Mic switch down UHF transmit- worked perfect Mic Switch aft VHF FM transmit- did not use it but suspect it would work fine I also remapped the in game comms menu to use a modifier(the modifier is the pinky lever on the warthog stick) Modifier/Mic Switch FWD VHF AM -worked perfect,menu pops up Modifier/Mic switch down UHF - worked perfect, menu pops up Modifier/Mic Switch aft VHF FM -worked perfect, menu pops up Other pilots were using the LCTL 1,2,3 commands to select the proper radios to transmit on with no difficulties at all This is using the latest beta 15 release of TARS It is my opinion the most important item to check is to make sure that you have TS3,TARS and DCS A10/BS2 all set to run with Admininstrator priveledges, this by itself will solve 90% of the issues people are having. 9 times out of 10 if someone can hear you but you cant hear them or vice versa this is the most likely culprit. Great work Headspace!!

Go to the scsimulations forum and make a post. Gadroc has a video of VSI he made and it's driven by a stepper and Helios. direct link to video http://www.scsimulations.com/showthread.php?811-Helios-amp-Steam-Gauges&highlight=stepper link to the SCS site but registration may be needed

This is already possible using a Phidgets board and helios which has native support for Phidgets LED boards and Phigets Servo boards. Check this post http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1323932&postcount=50 and here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1325524&postcount=59 Helios also natively supports the bodnar boards so you can program all your real switches in helios that are driven by the Bodnar board. BTW Helios is not free....its donationware. Please please donate if you choose to use it so its development will continue.

Nope, I need a f'n magnifying glass for that...I thought that was part of the panel back there

You hit RCtrl Enter. That box tells you where all your axis's are. Move your stick,throttle.pedals brakes...whatever you have and you will see them move in that box

no. end of discussion

Its not shady when they tell you in the description that its broken

Bird...inside the attached zip file is your .lua that works. Not sure what was up with your file but I just copied your info to one of mine saved it and now it shows up in the A10 GUI as BirdSetup. Birdsetup.zip

_ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('Bird_setup'); Description = 'Two monitor configuration'[b][color=red]; <---get rid of that semi colon. none of mine have that one[/color][/b] Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1818; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.6; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 328; y = 1050; width = 480; height = 480; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 1352; y = 1050; width = 480; height = 480; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

can you post your monitor config .lua code here...might help us a bit to see it instead of guessing what is in there.

Do a search for Black Shark in the HKEY_USERS folder in Regedit then it will be in the Keys/License0 folder under Number Its that easy.....of course this all hinges on you actually having a Licensed version of Black Shark 1 installed on your computer. Otherwise open a support ticket on the DCS website here http://support.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/new.php

There is plenty of discussion in this thread about cards for cockpits. Gadroc is building a pit similar to what you are doing so going with his opinion and his expertise cant hurt. There are other threads on the SCS forums that would be helpful also. http://www.scsimulations.com/showthread.php?1670-I-m-looking-to-upgrade-my-system-to-multi-monitor-Helios...need-input-advice

do you have this line UIMainView = Viewports.Center at the bottom of your monitor .Lua? If not put it there.

I got him all straightened out this morning it was that he was not running Tars/TS3 and DCS in administrator mode. And THANK YOU for TARS its an absolutely awesome program!

PM sent

I'll PM you the team speak info when I get home

I'm pretty sure its in the readme that came with TARS. I'm at work right now so its tough to give you exact direction on this. But I think if you look in your TARS folder there should be a plugin folder that has the tars_32.dll plugin, just copy and paste it to your TS3 plugin folder. Make sure to remove or rename the tars_64.dll that is in the TS3 plugin folder to make sure there is no conflicts. Make sure you do not have TS3 running when you do this. Now give it a try and see how it works. Would be a lot easier if you have someone that has a known working TARS/TS3 setup to test with also. I'll be home about 4 hours from now. Make a post here and we can hook up if you like. We'll work out the details then if this is what you want to do.
