  1. Hello Russian and Ukranian friends. I need a little help with some of the translations for the DCS CoPilot app. Can someone help translate the following words into Cyrillic? Call Sign Flight (as in a flight of A-10s) Communications (as in, all the radio frequencies you would need). Your help would be much appreciated! Spasiba.
  2. Privet! Russki version is planned also http://deadfrogstudios.com/dcscopilot/

  4. I think I might be embarking on my own iPad app. I just joined the Apple Developer Program (which enables me to list/sell apps in the App store) so I'll be in a position to launch an app when finished. I have some design ideas I am fleshing out to take full advantage of the iPad and its graphical abilities. However, I will need some help from some volunteers. Basically I would need some people who know how to use a text editor to create text files (in XML..but we can go over that..it's easy) to input airfield information and maybe even convert checklists from PDF documents into actual data files. Would anyone be up for this? For example....an entry for an airfield may look like this <airfield name="Batumi"> <frequency>123.12</frequency> <tacan>1ZW</tacan> </airfield> Any volunteers? Also...are people interested in actually "checking" off checklists or they content with just reading it off a sheet?
  5. Hey Sickdog, Well...I thought being able to view the briefing screen in 1.08 might kill your app a little, but the implementation is a little clumsy so it looks there still is a need for a briefing on your iPhone. So...rather than tell you all the cool thing you should be doing with your app I have spent the last month teaching myself Objective C and have written a class that parses a XML file from an internet URL and stores the values as properties of an object you can access and assign to labels. This would plug in easily to your iphone app. No more having to enter in mission briefings yourself provided someone who knows LUA knows a way to write out an XML file that the iphone app can read. We would have to agree on a structure for the XML file as well to cater for all the required information. So hit me up if you want to take this further.
  6. I had this same problm with an ATI card. Turns out my Mip Map settings were set to "performance". Once I changed them to "Quality" then the textures were clear and crisp.
  7. You will still need a resistor for 5V to a LED. Google Ohms Law to determine what value resistor you will need for a LED and 5v. http://led.linear1.org/why-do-i-need-a-resistor-with-an-led/
  8. Raf, You sound like a nice enough guy but the more I see your questions the more I think you are simply not digging deep enough into these forums. The pot question is addressed in a thread I created in this forum and hooking LEDs up is also covered in one of my videos. TS.
  9. I must be having a sense of humour failure. I don't see it :-(
  10. Just want to bump this as i see people seem to have lost their enthusiasm to contribute.
  11. Real Panel dimensions (excluding thickness) can be found here: http://warthogpit.wikispaces.com/ As measured by an A-10 crewchief.
  12. A rotary switch is not a potentiometer. Pots work by varying the resistance of the current flowing through them (think of it like a slider in a computer program providing a variable value from 0 to 100). Rotary switches are indeed still on/off like any other switch. But they do have some peculiarities which I am not sure as to why we can't just rig then up to a GGG board. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on this.
  13. Hi fael, This is also covered in one of the videos or a post, not sure which one. When you have a 2 position switch in the game, such as the APU Start switch, you simply need a ON/OFF single throw switch to model it. This is because you can specify in the Lua file what command gets triggered when the button is "on" and what command gets triggered when the button is "off". Check the video on setting up DCS A-10 for your panel for more info. For a 3 position switch (such as the inverter on the Elec Power panel) you need a double throw switch which is 3 position ON/OFF/ON. Here you specify the command for each "on" for the switch (each on will go to separate button on the GGG) and you specify the same command for each "off" state of the button. I'm not at home so I can't post the Lua code but I believe I explain this in the video also.
  14. 5V is already being supplied to the board via the USB connection. The 5V on the board is for you to tap into that source for LEDs or other stuff. For the board to work you only need to hook up ground and input wires.
  15. New site up. Based on Wiki and should be open for all to contribute. Please add to the Knowledge Base!!! http://warthogpit.wikispaces.com/Welcome
  16. Congrats on releasing it!! As a new Cocoa developer I know that making this kind of software is not trivial. I will check it out tonight but once again, congrats!
  17. Hey Sickdog. Would you like some help? I'm not an expert either but I have begun teaching myself.
  18. This was all covered in a few pages before. Short answer no. It only supports digital axes (on/off) and not the analog input you would get from a potentiometer. As for cheaper...I have no idea. I guess you could try an Arduino board and build some stuff yourself but not sure if that would cheaper.
  19. Thanks for picking this up mojo.....and by the way excellent reply!!
  20. Cool guys. @Mower...don't feel like we are excluding North America. We have several guys who are casually playing us in your time zones. We just need more euro based peep. But if have the time to play with us during euro nights you are more than welcome also. One of our members is Headspace for example (maker of TARS) who is based in the US. It's not really my initiative...we have been around for a while. But we are making a concerted push for more A-10 pilots to have fun with.
  21. aussie, try and fly with someone in multiplayer who is willing to teach you. Works wonders. But you'll need to learn some of the basic terminology like CDU, DSMS, TAD, UFC and the names for the HOTAS buttons (eg. china hat, boat switch). Learn those and someone can get you up to speed quite quickly.
