    Seeking advice on new set-up

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    Hi Brixmis

     

    I've been using a 19 inch monitor with two Cougar MFD's stuck on top of it for ages now. I knocked up this small wooden panel and put it over the two mfd's (used double sided sticky tape to keep the mfd's stuck to the screen).

     

    I made a UFC which works wonderfully. That fits snuggly into a tight groove cut out of the top of the panel.

     

    Between the mfd's I cut out an extra section to export the RWR and clock to. I can also press a button and have the kneeboard displayed there, with checklists etc.

     

    I am going to do a different version soon, with a larger monitor. The monitor here is just a 19 inch one that i got for £5 from a charity shop.

     

    Whole thing was cheap and cheerful.

     

     

    Regards,

    Milli

    Take a look in your C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View folder. Thats where my view.lua is located. Its there along with my labels.lua, server.lua, snapviews.lua and snapviewsdefault.lua.

     

    Hope that helps BackboneOne

    EDIT:

     

    Actually, there is a view.lua file in the DCS World\Config\View folder, but there is also a readme.txt that says

    "DO NOT EDIT stock game files.

     

    You local changes should go to C:\Users\<YOUR PROFILE>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\

    Please, copy the file(s) to this folder (create if neccessary) and keep your changes there."

     

    So thats why I found mine in my Saved Games folder.

    How to set up toggle switches (a tutorial)

    I've been round the houses editing creating .luas. So as much for my memory and maybe helping someone else out. And it appears I only needed to edit One.

     

    I have one non-momentary switch actuated by a landing gear lever. Soz if this has already been explained in the thread and thanks to the OP for putting onto this. So its either on or off, but now on contact it send an up command on release it sends a down cmd.

     

    My Landing Gear Panel entry in the default.lua. with my added line in orange.

     

    --Landing gear panel

    {down = iCommandPlaneGear, name = _('Landing Gear Up/Down'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

    {down = iCommandPlaneGearUp, name = _('Landing Gear Up'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

    {down = iCommandPlaneGearDown, name = _('Landing Gear Down'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

    {down = iCommandEmergencyGear, name = _('Auxiliary gear handle'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

    {down = iCommandEmergencyGearCover, name = _('Auxiliary gear handle lock button'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

    {down = iCommandPlaneGearDown,up = iCommandPlaneGearUp,name = _('Landing Gear Up/Down FT'), category = _('Landing gear panel')},

     

    The .lua I edited with the additional line.

     

    C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\MODS\aircraft\A-10C\Input\A-10C\joystick\default.lua

    EDIT: Whoops, just seen your later posts. Have implemented the new workaround that you and Kingpinda came up with. Even better. Thanks both of you.

    For all you AvioDev C-101 pilots out there, I thought I'd put this link up that I just found. Very nice in cockpit view from one of the Patrulla Águila guys point of view. From 40 seconds in I started to feel a little stressed, just from watching it ha ha. Saw them yesterday at Fairford. Great day out.

    Indeed it is,

     

    Chief, I am having some hair pulling moments with installing MODS with JSGME, I am following Ebs instructions but still getting nowhere,

    I make a folder in DCS WORLD \ _MODS eg: AIPatch , then unzip AI Patch file to that folder, but I keep getting a box that says c:\users\shane\Downloads etc etc

    cannot create c:\program files\eagle dynamics\ etc etc

    and if I try create a folder as per DCSWORLD\_MODS\AI Patch , I then get cannot use \ .,/ in naming a folder. it must be simple enough but I keep getting it wrong :( can you help me out please

     

     

    cheers shane

     

    Ummm..... navigate to your DCSWORLD\_MODS folder that you made, using windows explorer. Once there, make a new folder and call it AI Patch.

     

    Open your zip file and either drag the contents to the new folder you created, or use the zip softwares menu to extract the files to the newly created folder.

     

    Not sure what AI Patch mod is though. You will have to follow the JSGME instructions on how to arrange the folder structure inside your new AI Patch folder. Basically, you create the folder structure by imagining the AI Patch folder being the DCSWORLD folder, creating new folders exactly the same as the folders/files you are going to replace with your mod. A lot of mods are now JSGME compatible so the folder structure is already set up for you. Just by dragging the zips contents to your new mod folder, eg AI Patch, will do it.

     

    Hope this helps. Sorry if i have got the wrong idea as to what the problem is.

    Try renaming the downloaded zip file (JAN 25 14 A_10C_C_EDM_TEX.zip) to A_10C_C_EDM_TEX.zip. i.e the same as the one you are going to replace.

     

    Replace the one found in DSCWORLD\MODS\AIRCRAFT\A10C\COCKPIT\RESOURCES\MODE L\TEXTURES folder with your newly renamed zip file.

     

    BACK UP ORIGINAL ZIP FILE FIRST!

     

    It should then work.

    As far as I know (which is not alot), the gun has always been planned to be made ready during the Block 3 phase. So, the news article is just stating, in a melodramatic and negatively spun way (surprise surprise), what has always been the planned. At this development stage the plane was never meant to be able to fire its gun, or lots of their weapons for that matter. Non story as I see it.

     

    Delays and problems maybe, but thats just life. I'm sure the author of the article would love this plane to be a complete failure, but thats probably more to do with his view on life and his own life in general.
