Thanks, @KleineWimpie - great, this is crystal clear! What function are you using in place of "ctr(65535)" for FLAPS_CONTROL_HANDLE? virgo47's options should work for you. But I am considering a new function to improve the flexibility of handling this type of use.

@KleineWimpie, I don't get what you are trying to do and what the problem is. Are you trying to get the flap value on display? Or control the flap by value?

Hi @PHMAC. My reaction is similar to that of virgo47's. This is indeed baffling as the logs showed that DCS-BIOS and DCS-COINS are communicating - or at least the latter is able to get data from the former. Can you please try temporarily disabling your Windows firewall or whatever anti-virus/security software that you are using? And then try issuing the TP commands concerned? Cheers.

Hi @PHMAC Is your TP on Windows on version 4.0 or later? Secondly, if you have other mods running, disable them temporarily for the troubleshooting to ensure that's there's no conflict. Previously, I had encountered conflict with Helios. You can do this by editing your Export.lua file in your C:\users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts folder by remarking the command lines without the preceding '--' by adding the preceding '--' to the start of the line concerned. But before doing this, make a backup of your Export.lua file first - just in case things unexpectedly go south. If you can do the "dcs-coins -v" command line and share the generated log entries (when you trigger a handful of non-keyboard actions) here, that may provide a direction on where to focus the troubleshooting effort. Cheers!

Wow, awesome work! I like your button images - will probably 'steal' some of them for my use.

Okay. I am unclear about the issue and which part of the plugin that requires fixing. If you are referring to DCS-BIOS, that's beyond my scope and pay grade.

@Kyle_Katarn, have you figured the issue out? I tested on my side and there's no issue with any of the actions concerned. My sample test for the Z action as below:

Hi @Kyle_Katarn. I have never really tested them. I will need to check when I can and get back to you. Sorry for the late reply.

Noted. Thanks. Yes, it's advisable to invest effort and time with the newest DCS-COINS, DCS-BIOS and Touch Portal (current) versions for future-proofing. There were major functional changes in both TP and Skunkworks's DCS-BIOS. With the latter, it also means support for new aircraft (eg. F-4E, Mirage-F1BE, OH-58D and UH-60L), and updates for existing ones.

Latest DCS-COINS patches (thanks to the above invaluable feedback and testing by virgo47) have been consolidated and updated to the official download link. 2024-10-16: Patches to enable full range of TP comparison options for a certain data type, and parameter multiplication function with a decimal number. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319022/

@virgo47, no worries. Actually, the reason why the multiplication function did not work in your case is due to the fact that the first parameter is unique. The system expects to find only one value. Therefore, the second and subsequent occurences of the value (in this case, ALT_MSL_FT) will be ignored. If you remark off the top line (with inclusion of a '#' anywhere in the line), you should get the computed value in meters. Yes, there are many new TP features to explore... Cheers!

Hi @virgo47. I think the attached DCS-COINS.exe should fix it. The code earlier did not expect multiplication with a floating number. Try and let me know if it works. I will keep the ALT_MSL_FT as-is in CommonData.pp as altitude is commonly in feet. DCS-COINS.zip

Okay, I managed to look into this particular issue. The previous configuration was a workaround to address the limitation of the earlier TP versions which only had the basic equal to functions - which I had forgotten about until now. Please test attached plugin setup and confirm whether it's fixed. Thanks! DCS-COINS_Setup.zip

I did not make any conscious change to the Engine RPM control here. I will need to check this. I will need to review the code involved here. Will get back to you.

Nice! I had gotten the TP "Multiple Devices Upgrade" license a few months ago - and got my Apache left and right panels displayed simultaneously on 2 tablets. Suggest you do the same if you are running out of space with one tablet. Thanks, will add inverters for the counters. It is an odd behavior for ADF_TUNE and ALT_ADJ_PLT sliders. I will check them out.
