@ Boltz. Firstly a great idea. I have a couple of Q's. I am confused by you saying you use serial because usb don't read outputs from DCS it will only do input to DCS. the reason for this is I setup your sketch on a mega with just the caution light connected and it works over usb. I have one of those led matrix cards and would like to do just the MC & WLP on one mega, can you show me a config file for === A mega id 02 on port 4, profile a-10c, outputs for Master Caution light & WLP using the led matrix card. BTW I have most of my switches and encoders wired into bodnar boards but have a spare arduino mega for later.

why does it say FC3 in top right corner..?..

Hovering the huey is no problem, getting into the hover from flight is a whole new ballgame.

@ thick8, that is exactly what i am doing, I am in the same boat as you and I just got a couple of arduino boards and a led matrix board and now I am trying to work out how to get dcs to talk to arduino and vice versa. sometimes frustrating sometimes not but fun anyhow.

You have 2 choices either wait til mig is released on steam or install DCSWorld you do not need to uninstall from steam if on the same computer, the dcs key for mig will not work on steam. as you already own modules they will be available to install through module manager. the reason the fw190 worked is because the key was steams even though the download was not. I really feel for people like you who do not have good internet or it is prohibitively expensive.

MOVE contents of save games folder or move then make a new empty one, don't delete it yet just move to desktop or somewhere. what AC are you trying to fly ?

I don't think the enable bit is needed anymore as each aircraft has its own config.lua in your user files. your path for export is correct.

your answer is in OP, go to link site to unbind. RTFP.

Helios works with FC3 just use the FC2 interface and make your own panels for gauges no need for panels with switch boards just add the board as an interface and set up your ingame switches it is not easy you have to take time to find the right ones and sometimes there are no options but the main ones are there.

Thats funny I mostly use HELIOS for mapping switches,rotary switches, encoders & potentiometers as far as I know there is nothing better or easier, you dont even have to make a panel if you dont want to.

@Deskoilot. you need to make a new string NOT EDIT the one that is there. make a new string called path then enter as below. you will get default,lang,Path,Path and version. "Path"="F:\\Program Files\\Eagle Dynamics\\DCS World\\Mods\\aircrafts\\KA-50" note double backslashes. no spaces. I see you are running version 123, are you 32 or 64 ?. hope it helps.

I have had mine for years since they first came out and have had no probs. I have cleaned inside and greased it up with new silicon grease. I was going to replace the rubber ring with a PTFE one. So no major issues, I read there was a problem with some early throttles but all seems quiet now so I think it is sorted.

Hi.. A couple of Q's. 1. does this run independent of DCS or does it still have input/output. 2. can it be programmed to wait X time then do X then wait Y then do Z. 3. can it read say an output from X to make it do Y. thanks.

Yes make a scripts folder..

DK1 does work with DCSW just not using the built in rift management. I use Deskope and it works fine if you untick autodetect OR. so it is a problem with DCSW's OR programming and AMD vid cards. I don't know if DK2 works as it should with DCSW and AMD card. but seeing as there are very few of us using OR and AMD who cares if it was Nvidia you can bet it would have been sorted long ago.

make a copy of the one you found. DO NOT edit the original. make any changes/additions to the COPY. then save a copy of this COPY to your savegames/ scripts folder. One thing if you use the F86 Sabre module having an Export in savegames/scripts crashes the module or at least mine does.. I have attached a copy of my lua, it has exports for A10C, KA50. you will see it has the name of instruments changed from the original to avoid conflict between modules. these names also need to be changed in the init.lua's for each instrument in the same way making a copy of the original then changing the copy and saving it to DCSW/Mods folder not scripts. you should end up with a Mods folder with aircrafts /A10C/Cockpit/ scripts/"name of intrument" ie MFCD/ indicator/MFCD_init.lua. the first 9 instrument attachments are for A10C, the last 3 of these all go in UHF_radio. With the KA50 it is slightly different in that they all go in aircrafts/ KA50/ cockpit/ scripts/ Name of instrument. the only one that has an Indicator folder is the Ekran . I don't know what you are trying to do but hope this helps. Export.lua AN_ALR69V_init.lua CDU_init.lua CMSC_init.lua CMSP_init.lua DIGIT_CLK_init.lua MFCD_init.lua freq_status_init.lua preset_channel_init.lua repeater_init.lua ABRIS_init.lua CautionLights_panel.lua Ekran_init.lua PVI_init.lua SHKVAL_init.lua UV_26_init.lua

The greatest minds are often the most troubled..Nano Nano Shazbat...Classic. or Mork calling Orson I'm on my way.. R.I.P

I have a small problem in that I have helios and I-vibe seat set up and for this to work I have an Export.lua in my saved games/Scripts folder, All modules work fine except F86 Sabre. If I have this Export.lua in my savegames F86 crashes DCS on load of the module. the only way to start F86 module is to remove Export.lua each time. I have attached the .lua file. that allows export of helios guages for A10C,KA50&FC3 + intellivibe seat + Arduino boards. I hope someone at Belsimtek can find what is different to F86 from all other modules. thanks. Export.lua

My first 3 take offs were great...the best 3 seconds I had so far LOL.

What kind of size is it ?.. It looks more like a Marine/boats bulkhead clock to me. It is German 8 day movement. Bekaem made german U-Boat clocks if it helps.

You might want to swap this around bearing in mind the tech behind DCS..:lol:

works fine in native just put intelliVIBE = true in C:users/(username)/DCS/scripts/Export.lua. and you should be good to go. if you don't have a Export.lua in there I think there is one in the games directory but you are not supposed to change it. copy and paste it to the savegames location then edit it using notepad++ NOT NOTEPAD.

I thought I read DK2 has 2x 5 inch screens.

Delete or rename savegame folder. worked for me.
