@Flappie I do... and I have the window assigned to the keyboard. However, the window never appears for me. Thanks!

That's great Tony! Thanks! I will email you mine in a little bit. Likewise, I will download yours and take a look at them later this evening.

Hi guys, I am trying to set the VOIP up. I have followed the guide Eagle Dynamics provided and followed the YouTube video below (great one by the way). My problem is, when I hit the LCtrl+LShift+Tab the room mode window is not appearing. I have bound it to different keys, still no joy. Then I thought I would assign it to a mouse button or a switch on my HOTAS, but it will not allow me to assign them to anything but a keyboard bind. Any ideas?

6Jan22 UPDATE We got a new update on the F4U and the Essex carrier today. Looks like it is getting closer!!!!!

Damn straight. Ready to fight, ready to kill, ready to die, but never will! LOL

@ctytler I just joined github (I know...where have I been?). I posted on your thread that I am willing to be a beta tester for you. I am following the thread as well, so I will keep an eye on it too. Thanks for all the TREMENDOUS work, effort, and time you have put towards this. It truly makes my DCS experience soooo much better. Plus you are driving me to develop coding skills

Hey guys, I know this is a little off topic, but I wanted to get this in a place the powerhouses of StreamDeck (i.e. Bailey, ctytler, and many others) would see it. I just got my combat and takeoff panels from WinWing for Christmas. Man are they great! At first I couldn't get the lights to sync but once I clicked on the "Fix lua" button within the SimmAppPro app life was good. So I jumped into a mission (I fly exclusively in the hornet) and I realized my Streamdeck XL wasn't working. I use it for many things in game, mostly the UFC. After looking around, I remembered I "fixed" the lua in the SimAppPro app, so I went to the Export.lua file and saw that it had completed removed the StreamDeck export script. OK, I thought, I'll add it back in. I did, then jumped back into DCS. Now the lights aren't syncing again but the StreamDeck is working. I even tried placing the StreamDeck script before then after the WinWing script but no joy! I researched a bit and tried a suggest I found to click the box to "Close the modification of Export.lua file," but that did not work for me. I have started a conversation with WinWing to see if they have a solution. They replied with, "Our software engineer will check but can not sure figure it out as 3rd part hardware. please waiting for our news." Has anyone else run in to the same issue? If so, did you find a solution/workaround? I really want both to work and I am SURE I am not the only one to run into this issue. Lastly, here is the Export.lua after the SimAppPro fixes it. local wwtlfs=require('lfs') dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua') Here is the script needed for my StreamDeck to function. dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]]) I posted the same topic under WinWing in the Input/Output forum called "Control panel light sync or Streamdeck...not both" Thanks and Happy New Year!

@Toni Carrera Those look great! I have my own set I created for the hornet. I would love to share them with you if you would share yours with me to see if there is anything I could incorporate into mine. Are you willing to share? I was thinking about posting all of my .StreamDeckProfiles on the Downloads/User Files. However, I am not sure what the legal terms are, so I have not done it. Like you, I started with what was available and modified them to my liking. However, I did create a ton of new icons.

Same here....54 yr old noob really trying to get better at the Hornet (I was a Hornet avionics tech in the 80s-90s). In fact I transitioned VMFA-251 from the F-4s to the F/A-18As in the mid-80s, and then VMFA(AW)-533 from the A-6s to the F/A-18Ds in the early 90s. I have a buddy who flys with me. He was an Airframer/Maint Controller with me in 533. So there could be 2 of us... I'm East Coast (Pittsburgh) and he is Central (panhandle of Florida). My primary is the Hornet, but I also have the P47, P51, FW190 Dora, and the Bf 109K-4. All of which I haven't flown a single minute in. I really want to get the Hornet down before going to another.

@Bailey I need to get you a Christmas gift since you have given me a couple already! Thanks! Merry Christmas my friend!

Is there a P47 lua for the Streamdeck? I did a search and couldn't find specific info on it. Of course I just bought it with the hopes of using the Streamdeck to make things easier.... Merry Christmas to me.

@tekadept How do you keep the switch caps in place and "pushed" to the surface. It appears you have SMT momentary switches mounted with very little stem height to secure the caps to the switches. Just curious?

I ordered the 2 control panels from WinWing thinking it would take about a month or so to get them. I definitely didn't expect to get them before Christmas. But let me tell you friends. I had them in under a week!!!! They were shipped FedEx. Couldn't be happier in the turnaround time. UNFORTUNATELY, my wife won't let me have them until Christmas. I have no association with these fine people, but I can't wait to hook them up and get using them. 2 thumbs up for WinWing in my opinion!!!!

@BaileyThanks a bunch! Now I have an example to follow going forward. I made a couple of changes to your lua and now it works perfectly. So cool!

Disclaimer: I have never written nor edited a lua file in the past. This is my first go, so don't laugh at my attempts I added a variable to the Fire Systems list [599] = "%1d" -- Left Engine AMAD/Right Engine AMAD/APU Fire Extinguisher Discharge READY Light Then added the following script at the very bottom of the lua file (below the "Custom functions" block)... function ExportScript.ProcessDACConfigLowImportance if 11 = 1 -- Left Engine Fire button Pushed In ExportScript.Tools.SendDataDAC(599,1) elseif 27 = 1 -- Right Engine Fire Button Pushed In ExportScript.Tools.SendDataDAC(599,1) elseif 30 = 1 -- APU Fire Button Pushed In ExportScript.Tools.SendDataDAC(599,1) else ExportScript.Tools.SendDataDAC(599,0) end When I replaced the .lua in the ExportsModules, my Streamdeck cannot communicate with DCS. I put the original one back in and everything is fine. So, why is it not communicating with DCS and how does the script look? FA-18C_hornet TEST.lua

Thanks @Bailey I didn’t realize you can add logic arguments. That should make it much easier. I have the switch cover open , button press and the close switch cover solved with a multi-action switch. Pretty easy. If, and that’s a big if, I can figure it out I’ll post what I did.

I'm having an issue trying to figure out how to get the F/A-18 fire extinguisher push to discharge button functioning. My idea was to set this button up similar to the ALR-67 buttons @ctytler's tutorial did. I can get the DISCH to illuminate when I press the button (easy), but the issue is there are 3 states that can illuminate the READY. However there is only 1 state/argument to look for to change the title text on DCS update setting. Is it possible to make it look for three; left engine fire, right engine fire, and APU fire? Another thought just occurred to me, how do I test this? How do I start fires in my engines and APU.? And what are the “light” ID numbers? Damn this one is hard… but I know @Bailey can do it. LOL

Let me be upfront...I am old! The in-game communication, the BDA and the mission editor interface text is too small for my eyes. Is there ANY way to increase it within the options or elsewhere? I will be forever grateful if there is!

an F 4 U an F 4 U Yes an F 4 U Then I can wish you a Merry Christmas!

I have all the current maps, but my buddy only has the Caucus and Marianas. If I create a mission on the Nevada map, can he play on it or does he need to purchase it?

Figured it out. I had to hit the PAUSE/BREAK key on my keyboard. My buddy and I had a great session. No issues once we figured out the pause stuff. Thanks for all the help.

I am able to login to my game, get in my jet and then…I can’t do anything other than look around and hit the function keys (e.g. F2 for outside views of my jet and the tanker I added for the mission). I can’t have any interaction with switches, joystick, etc.. Is this because my friend isn’t in the mission yet as I was only testing my setup? I looked through every option in the mission editor any didn’t see anything that would make me a “spectator only” member.

I am looking at buying the 2 panels, combat and take off, but I have a question on mounting hardware. I have a Thrustmaster Warthog mounted on a Meza Mount (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QRCW6SN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Do the panels come with mounting hardware to attach to these type of extrusions or can you purchase something that could attach to them? If you have them, how do you mount them to an existing throttle or even your desk?
