Yes mate, I have the pp file like you and this command ([UHF_PRESET_SET 3]) increase the current preset value in 3 if you're in the channel 1 the selector spin until it reach the channel 4 and I couldn't make the move the selector backward because the command always increase the current channel. But the UHF preset selector is the worst to try this. I can't make it pass the channel 2. However both VHF preset selectors behave as I noted before so I have changed the |1|0| by |3|0| so the command cand send [VHF_PRESET_SET +1] or [VHF_PRESET_SET -1] always doing the steps one by one and "in theory" allowing to move the preset backwards but this part either not works. Another thing that didn't work very well is to include the current preset channel selector as text in one button. I have try the Dynamic Text Updater, or to store the channel in a TP value as any kind of data allowed and then use this value as source for the text of the button but always get a fixed number that don't change no matter I do. @virgo47 reading your posts I guess that you are working also with the A-10C, had you try to setup the radios in TP with DCS-COINS?

Those requested values are 1 because dcs-bios add the current preset channel value to the commanded preset channel value to calculate the desired preset channel value. In the UHF I cant move ahead of channel 02, but in both VHF if I set the commanded value to 2, the preset jump in steps of 2 and so on, this is because my last post With the action type set to 3, thed cs-coins command add +1 or substract -1 to the current value and the VHF presets move fine when increasing but doesnt move when decreasing but looks like a dcs-bios problem. But in UHF dcs-bios tool can manage correctly the increasing and decreasing values but dcs-coins get stucked in the preset 02 and dont go ahead or backward

@xoomigo I have tunned the A-10C.pp file setting the UHF and both VHF preset channel selectors "action type" field to 3. This allow me to go forward in both VHF preset channels, but not backwards. This happens also with the live preview tool of DCS-BIOS so I guest that the problem comes from DCS-BIOS. But the UHF preset channel selector only advance to the 02 channel and doesn't bo backward, with the DCS-BIOS tool I can go freely forward and backward.

I have noted that if you force a reconnect from the desktop application, client get updated. I have asked in the TP discord if the reconnect could be invoked from a button in somehow

I'm having an issue with the UHF preset channel selector The logic of the button is like this But the device in the cockpit only change one time from channel 01 to channel 02 The vervose mode report this

I don't know if could be created an event that refresh all the events in the current page if the aircraft connecton is On

@xoomigo your plugin now works like a charm. I'm redoing a lot of thing a much less time. Awesome dude

The next I have try is include the Apache and create the tp file. Everything goes fine. Later I have included the Supercarrier. TP file created and plugin imported. This two steps were done within the same run of the plugin setup. Looks like for some reason the first time I deselect all the modules I didn't wanted, the setup didn't removed correctly and where included in the tp file. I did created the tp file again but without any change in the modules selected because those 4 were what I wanted. Once I have start to play with the selected modules the application have resorted my options correctly and have created the tp file with the desired modules and the bugged have been removed from the tp file.

Bug found. Now only with A-10 and F18 the plugin were imported without any issue

Here you have attached the .tp file of my last try of install the plugin, is the same of my last post with the log. The only aircraft different from when I was using the plugin is that I had included the AH-64D. I'm gonna try without this particular module. entry.tp Despite having selected only the A-10, F18, Apache and Supercarrier, looks like the plugin setup were including the C-101, F14, L-39, Mirage, SA342 because when I have deselect the supercarrier and the Apache it has removed all others modules which I didnt have include never before.

I have try to install the plugin with TP as admin but the result is the same. Answering your questions, the cotent of the plugin folder is: And a clean and fresh log is attached to the post. The status of TP when the process get stuck is this log.txt

Thanks Xoomigo. Yes I'm in Win11 and I'm running dcs-coins setup as admin. I'm not running TP as admin, maybe it could help. I can't confirm if this folder is empty but I think it have something inside, I will confirm later. The log only show this lines regardi g any problem with the plugin but I will check it again at evening 19:08:03.144 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Entry file JSON is invalid, cannot be parsed - C:\Users\kyle_\AppData\Roaming\TouchPortal\plugins\Munt.G_DCS-COINS 19:08:03.144 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Error: Illegal escape. at 1206061 [character 34 line 40431]

If I use your packed DCS-BIOS and the option "Install DCS-BIOS", I'm getting the same error when installing the plugin in TP 19:08:03.144 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Entry file JSON is invalid, cannot be parsed - C:\Users\kyle_\AppData\Roaming\TouchPortal\plugins\Munt.G_DCS-COINS 19:08:03.144 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Error: Illegal escape. at 1206061 [character 34 line 40431] The process get stuck when is importing the png image of the plugin.

This could be the problem, I grab the DCS-BIOS directly from the dcspanels github. I'll try with your packed folder. Thanks!!

After a long time disconnected of the simulation I'm reintalling everything again and I'm haven a problem when installling the plugin in TP The log is that: 22:40:53.974 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Entry file JSON is invalid, cannot be parsed - C:\Users\kyle_\AppData\Roaming\TouchPortal\plugins\Munt.G_DCS-COINS 22:40:53.975 - [ERROR] (Plugin System) Invalid plugin: Error: Illegal escape. at 5248842 [character 34 line 177715] I have try the first time with the latest release, later with the old 2.x version and the last try was with the 3.1 (build 4) but with all I get the same error

In my works with DCS-COINS and DCS-BIOS I found that teh way DCS-BIOS accept the action of a pushed button is receiving the order push and later depress, is a little anoying because it force to us to create a two step button but I didn't get a double triggered action programming the buttons in this way. I didn't tryed to only use the depress action, is a good point to simplfy the programing but without the feedback of the button moving in the cockpit maybe some times we could thought that the action was not perform is the consecuences are not vrey obvious.

I'm sorry I miss your message, but Ximogo is trying to help you. I have found that some key combination doesnt work as expected using TP but works fine using the key board directly but a simple OnHold with only one key must to work but is clear that for you something wierd is happening. To create a backup in version 2.3.x just go to the settings page and the third option from the bottom is "Backups". Here you can see what, when and size of the backups present in your Documents\Touch Portal Backups. If you update to v3 just need to find the same option in the new version and press the button with the round arrows.

I have a profile almost done for the A10C/II using DCS-COIN v2 It contains an UFC, radios, a full CDU and I'm polishing a cold and dark start page. The UFC also have some frecuently used elements as landing gear lever, refuel lever, ils and tacan controls, etc. I'll try to complete along this weekend. Later I'm going to translate my F18 pages to the new DCS-COINS v2, so stay tuned.

Exactly. Even when the plugin is re-installed I close TP and re-open it

I have redone the buttons using the events with new Enums, but it still doesnt work

Roger roger. I know that it must be a little detail on my side. Thanks!

Ok Xoomigo. I have some time to create new Enums at least for the parameters which I'm using, but the new Enums are not working and I don't know why. I have review your howto but I cant find where I'm failing. The new enums are for the VHF_AM rotary 1, VHF_AM rotary 4, VHF_FM rotary 1, VHF_FM rotary 4, UHF 100Mhz selector, ilsMhz selector and ilsKhz selector. Here I have attached the enum and the aicraft file I'm using. Give it a look, and let me know what the helI'm doing wrong OH!, right now I have realized that I'm using the app in version 3.0.2 for the android tablet and for the Pc the last version 2.x. Maybe this could interfere in some way and this is the cause of the behaviour I'm getting. A-10C.pp aircraftEnums.pp

I dont have advance more than the file I attached to a previous post, sorry but I was busy with other non-hobbies related subjects. I think until weekend I couldnt do any more

Ok, I'm good with the TP 2.X I was thinking abouit the ever long list of events when multiple airplanes are used and, What if you deploy one TP file for each module selected in the installer? So the user need to install in TP one plugin per module, but also get one drop down per module with only the events of this module. I don't know inners of the code but looks like that don't need too much modifications, maybe the most complicated could be the task of reply the events from DCS-BIOS to each plugin, but there is only one module active, so maybe could be managed in some way not too much complicated. The Discord server of TP is very active and the developers section is very active. Those are the goods. The cons could be that if you reveal the plugin for DCS, they will create a channel just for you and a lot of people will start to ask stupid things like I do and maybe with one dumb in the room is enough

<Insert-here-any-facepalm-gift-at-your-wild> Thanks dude, later at the evening I'll try it
