So if I make an autoexec.cfg file (in notepad ++), and copy paste the above into it, save it, which folder would it go into?

I think I figured it out, logged onto the DCS Website, checked My Servers under my profile, was able to get the GUI to come up with the correct info

Unfortunately, it doesn't answer my questions. Digging fairly deep into the thread, (and others) it mentions an autoexec.cfg file, which seems to be the magic file where I can tell the server which ports to use. When I checked on my laptop DServer install, there was no such file, because the base game is NOT installed there, only the DServer. On the desktop, the file is found in the DCS.openbeta/config (saved games) folder. Looking in that file, there was nothing to suggest that this particular file has anything to do with server ports. I appreciate you answering so quickly. Still not sure how to do this (I have it working on my desktop, but REALLY would like to run the web gui from my laptop). Diz

Hi: I want to have DServer running on a specific machine (my desktop), but control it from another machine (my laptop) on the same LAN. DCS is installed on the desktop, so it is easier to control the server from the laptop (different screen). How do I set that up? What about if I want to run the server from the laptop? How should I configure the ports? I have 10310 and 8090 forwarded on the laptop, and 10308, 10309 and 8088 on the desktop. Where do I enter those ports? And confirm I still have to log onto the DCS website with my laptop to control the server on the desktop, it cannot be done via the LAN IP or behind my firewall if I just want to run a LAN session? I currently have DServer installed on my desktop, and am installing it on my laptop as I type. Sorry if it is a noob question

So, apparently DServer (a limited functional version of DCS) is picking up my Track IR, as when I start the server executable, I get enhanced tracking. Server is started, still in enhanced tracking. I then start DCS as normal, and the enhanced tracking disappears. Pretty sure there is some parameter I need to put on the Server executable to stop it from picking up the Track IR, I know there is one for VR which is added to the command line, after --server and --no render Anyone know what this parameter may be?

HI: Just installed DServer on the same machine where I run DCS (specs below). When I start the server, my Track IR starts up with both lights illuminated (enhanced tracking). Then when I start the game, the enhanced tracking stops, so I get no head tracking on my Track IR. Not sure what is going on, but there seems to be no need to have Track IR running when DServer starts, only when the game starts. Any suggestions?

Aura Sync? I'll check it out, thx

NVM, figured it out. As I said above, I'm NOT convinced DCS is the culprit, in fact as time moves on, I think that it is less and less likely DCS caused this insidious freeze. Don't spend too much time on this, more and more evidence points to a MB issue (direct short on the board would certainly cause this type of freeze I think), or a USB input shorted against the case. BTW, thanks for you VERY quick response to this, you guys (and gals) are rock stars in my book Darkdiz Crash Log.evtx

Not sure how to do that, when I save the file from the event viewer, it does not have that option

This has been an on-going issue, and I'm NOT convinced DCS has anything to do with it. I have a ticket in with ASUS, I suspect it has something to do with the motherboard. BUt its frustrating nonetheless, as it occurs with NO warning Darkdiz Event Viewer.xml

Recently, and seemingly randomly, I have been experiencing crashes to a complete computer freeze. Some days it doesn't happen, on others it does. It is insidious, in that I can look away for a sec, and then when I look back, the display has frozen, no more digital output to my audio receiver, no mouse, nothing. The only way I can get it back is a reset, frequently the reset button will not reset (computer seems to want to reboot, but is stuck in some sort of endless loop). Most times, I have to completely remove power, and then reboot. The event viewer shows nothing, nor do the logs (I have the full debug log enabled, attached below). System specs in my sig block. I'm really at a loss here... dcs.log

Ideally, it would go as a shifted function on whatever button I have the coarse elevation mapped to, in this case the POVU/POVD hat switch on the joystick. I got around it (still not ideal but at least it sort of works) by remapping the zoom view slider 1 on the throttle to the L throttle handle, and mapping relative radar elevation to the slider. Then I adjusted the axis curve so it is very slow close to the center slider position, and faster the more the slider is away from center. Like I said, it SORT OF works in that I get the function I want, but is not very efficient in that I would rather keep the radar elevation function grouped onto a single button. I can probably get it to work in TARGET, but it would be a PITA to program the entire system just for one function.

Hi: I have the F14 and I have the Radar control elevation up/down for the RIO bound to my joystick trim hat (TM Warthog). However, it is WAY to sensitive, one touch sends the antenna all over the place I tried the method above, managed to get the key binding "Fine Radar Elevation Up/Down" to appear in the binding assignment GUI, but when I bound it to the same hat as an alternate function, it did not work. Clearly I'm missing something. This is from my default.lua in the main game Mods/aircraft/F14/Input/F-14B-RIO/Joystick folder (red is what I added): { up = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, down = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, cockpit_device_id=devices.RADAR, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('Radar elevation up'), category = _('Radar Control Panel')}, { up = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, down = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, cockpit_device_id=devices.RADAR, value_down = -1, value_up = 0, name = _('Radar elevation down'), category = _('Radar Control Panel')}, { up = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, down = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, cockpit_device_id=devices.RADAR, value_down = 0.2, value_up = 0, name = _('Fine Radar elevation up'), category = _('Radar Control Panel')}, { up = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, down = device_commands.RADAR_elevation_updown, cockpit_device_id=devices.RADAR, value_down = -0.2, value_up = 0, name = _('Fine Radar elevation down'), category = _('Radar Control Panel')}, Clearly, what I have done here is incorrect, not sure if I'm even editing the correct file, or if the file needs to go into the saved games folder. Also not sure where to put the "pressed = ..." script, which I THINK actually tells the game what sensitivity to use Cheers Diz

Does anyone have the SH-3W template? I saw the RCAF Sea King skin, and want to adjust it a bit (add Mk-46 Torp vice missiles, the SDS, the APS-503 radome, FLIR, IR jammer etc etc etc. Over 2350 hours as a TACCO in this particular airframe! Cheers Diz

Well, how 'bout that. Seems that the game does NOT like .PNG files for kneeboards, but is ok with .png files. Go figure. At least I can see the A-10A kneeboard now. I'll have to check on the rest of the FC3 planes though.

Hmmm, clearly an issue with the folder structure somewhere. I followed the above EXACTLY, but putting the png files into the A-10A folder without the Flaming Cliffs did not work, neither did the folder structure matching the ones in the core install (C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft). There IS a Flaming Cliffs folder there, but whether I used it or not still didn't make the custom kneeboard appear. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with FC3, as there is separate folder called Flaming Cliffs in the above folder. Clearly no standard here, this is getting frustrating

Not sure if its a bug or not, but EXACTLY what folder does one put a custom kneeboard into? I have been flying the A10a quite a bit, and have found some custom boards for it, but can't seem to get the folder right so I can access them in-cockpit. Same goes for the other aircraft in FC3. C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\kneeboard\Flaming Cliffs\A-10A doesn't seem to work, nor does any combination of \A10a, Flaming Cliffs\A10a etc. Any help would be appreciated! I am aware of the Syria kneeboard bug also, but have not yet been able to get custom kneeboards for PG or Marianas to work (some folks have been successful with these maps, but not I)

Hi: These seem to be quite well done! Thanks! Quick question though, WHERE do they get placed so they show up as kneeboards? I have the same issue for the Syria and PG terrains

Hi, I recently applied, but haven't heard anything back. F14 RIO. WAS on your Discord, but my connection is not there any more for some reason.

Tried that, no joy initially. Turns out the last update wiped all of my bindings for this aircraft, including some (not all) keyboard bindings. I have the kneeboard bound to one of my Joystick buttons, with the page next/prev also bound. Works on all my other planes where I have it bound similarly, just the A10a got partially wiped. I did a repair, and rebound everything, seems to work now.

Good evening: These missions are really well done, thankyou for your effort in creating them. I have an issue in that for the life of me, I can't figure out how to access other pages on the kneeboard. Occasionally, the title page comes up on the left, but I am unable to cycle through or view any other page. The title page indicates that other pages are available (ILS intercept calculation for example), but I can't seem to find it. In my user DCS.Openbeta folder, there is no A10A in the kneeboard folder (other aircraft are there), and the original zip file did not contain any kneeboard items, just the .miz files and 1 readme.txt. Any ideas?

Hi: I posted this elsewhere in the forum, but should have posted it here: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/817-controller-assignment-bugs/ I bound the ARC-159 Mode function switches as Inc/Dec to buttons on one of my MFDs. When I press the bound button, it rotates the switch 2 places, instead of 1. So the switch goes from Off to BOTH, skipping MAIN. If hit the button a second time (Inc), it switches back to OFF. Using the binding only, MAIN and ADF are not reachable. If I manually mouse click on, say ADF, then the switch once again skips the setting prior, and in this case goes directly to MAIN, skipping BOTH. The Dec binding doesn't function unless I first mouse click either ADF (then it switches to MAIN, skipping BOTH). Certainly not the behaviour expected. Any ideas?

Hi: I bound my ARC-159 Mode Inc and Dec each to a separate MFD Cougar button. When any of these buttons are pressed, it SHOULD increase/decrease the selection by 1 step, however for some reason it jumps from OFF to BOTH, missing MAIN (jumps 2 steps). The ADF selection is uneacheable via the bindings, unless I mouse click the selection. If I do that, then the Decrease binding also jumps 2 steps, this time to the MAIN selection. Expected Behaviour: First press on bound button ARC-159 Mode Inc, switch on radio goes from OFF to MAIN (switch turns CW). Second press it goes to BOTH Third press it goes to ADF Any press on the Dec binding would turn the switch in the opposite (CCW) direction Observed Behaviour: First press on bound button ARC-159 Mode Inc, switch on radio goes to BOTH Second press switch returns to OFF. MAIN and ADF are not reachable with the binding, unless either of the selections are mouse clicked. If mouse clicked, the Inc binding does not function, but the Dec binding will move the switch 2 steps, from ADF (if ADF were mouse clicked) to MAIN. OFF and BOTH are unreachable are now unreachable via thebinding With the switch on BOTH, no observed action if ARC-159 Mode Dec button pressed. Am I missing something?

That's what I figured, the "+" sign being the progamming language for "and this key". Interesting though that the KP- function in my macro file parses correctly. I'll add the definition of KPPLUS into the file, should work then. define KPPLUS 1087 etc Thankyou for such a detailed reply

HI: When trying to import a TARGET Macro file into TARGET, I'm having an issue with the KP+ key. It comes up as "Null Null", and is the only key to do this. The actual script line is: define Camera_Zoom_In KP+ There is nothing in the manual for this, I CAN use the USB code ([0x57]) but it seems weird that the KP+ key won't parse properly. I suspect it has something to do with the + sign, as that usually indicates a second key (such as L_CTL+x indicating simultaneous activation of both keys, in this case L_CTL and the x key). Of note is that KP- works fine, and in the manual, the keypad keys / * - + are not listed as special. Any ideas?
