    How To Edit a Warthog TMC File

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    typo

    There is no way, that I am aware of, to create an fcf from the tmc. The tmc is really the only thing the base software understands. The fcf is basically gui-code that gets converted into a tmc the first time you run it.

     

    Unfortunately, AFAIK, the only way to get your fcf back is to create it from scratch in the GUI.

     

    That's what I was afraid of. I've not been able to even find a way to import settings from the TMC file either...

     

    How much of a change do you need to make? If you can explain it, I could edit your tmc for you and make the change you need. It doesn't help you in the long run but if it gets you running now then it is better than nothing.

     

    Thanks very much for offering that mate! But I guess I just need to get off my lazy ass and start to figure this stuff out for myself. Thanks again for all your replies and help, it is much appreciated!

    Okay, I feel like an idiot... :doh: I didn't realize the Target Script Editor was separate from the regular Target software! I thought it was accessed from within the main GUI of the Target software... Having looked in Target's folder I did see the exec for this program and started it. Is there a way to actually convert the tmc file or save it into an fcf file format? Editing fcf files within Target I can handle at my level of incompetence. Sorry for all the newbie questions but I've been unable to find these particular answers via the search function. Thanks again.

    The Target Script Editor is designed for it but you could edit it in Notepad++, or any other coding editor. I use Notepad++ to create and edit all of my Target profiles.

     

    Thanks for the fast reply! I see no way of loading the TMC file in the Target Script Editor. :( If I use the "edit configuration" under the configuration options area and select all files to view and then try to load this particular TMC file I get an error saying it's corrupt (it runs just fine though...) Is there some other play to select it to edit that I'm missing? Thanks.

    I had to reinstall stuff and found I've lost my associated fcf file for this particular game I play. I've got the tmc file but can't figure out a way to edit it. :helpsmilie: I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious here, maybe it's because I'm older and have fewer brain cells but I'd appreciate and help or pointing in the right direction. Thanks!

     

    Edit: I meant to say I wish to edit this file within the TARGET software but see no way to do it. I did open it in notepad but got very intimidated when I saw what was there and don't know what I need to add in this file to get what I want, plus I like the simplicity of the TARGET GUI. Thanks.

    FC3 & LOMAC Question

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    Yes you can safely uninstall LOMAC, FC3 only needs to use it once for the installation

     

    Excellent! Thanks for replying.

     

    - also LOMAC does not use Starforce (I think it uses Securom) so you have nothing to worry about.

     

    My copy does, version 2.2 of Starforce to be exact. And it is now no longer on my computer. :) Thanks again! :beer:

    I have the same problem, though my rotors do turn. Right after I turn the battery on this alarm goes off and the RPM light on the warning panel is lit up. I've tried 10x now following the instructions exactly, as far as I can tell, but I keep screwing things up...

     

    Okay, I just tried it once again, doing everything exactly the same (though I did turn the switch off for the alarm for low RPM) and managed to take off! Of course it wasn't pretty and I flew around a bit and then proceeded to crash into the ground and blow up trying to land... but those are minor details. :)

    I just tried this out and am starting with the cold start training. For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! After flipping the indicated switches to their proper position (yes, some of them already start out that way as the OP indicates) I get this alarm sounding right after I turn the battery on that and it won't go away and I can't take off despite having the rotors moving. I've attempted this 8x now and it's the same each time. I know I'm doing something wrong or in the wrong order but I'm clueless as to what it is. Anyone else as dumb as me that has figured it out? :) Thanks!

     

    Well I tried again and did exactly the same thing, except for turning off the alarm for low RPMs, and did manage to take off this time! It wasn't pretty and of course I crashed trying to land but at least I got her up! :)

    Any Videos/Trailers?

    in DCS: Combined Arms

    I'm just curious if there are any videos or trailers to watch of this part of the game in action. I'd like to see it for myself before I consider purchasing. I like the concept but would prefer to see it in action. So if anyone has any links I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

    I think we have to respect metals decision. Building a tool for home use is one.. Making it Apple app ready it something else. It is good he is realistic and tells us this now and not in a few weeks.

     

    He showed us that it is possible. Now it is for the next developer to go ahead and make it for the mass. I'm sure it's gonna sell good one's A-10 is officially released. Every A-1oc simmer with an Ipad will buy it.

     

    Totally right. No disrespect meant, metalnwood, it was only showing my great disappointment after being quite excited by what you showed. I can totally understand metalnwood's reasons for not continuing with this. Guess I need to wait longer before hitting the send button and showing my emotional state. :D

    Hi guys, unfortunately there will not be any more updates to this program.

     

    I run helios with my set up and succumbed to buying a 22" touchscreen as I wanted more real estate than the ipad would give me.

     

    Given that I don't need it for myself it's too hard to justify the time spent writing an ipad application as it won't be for me and it won't generate money to make it worthwhile (As opposed to other money making jobs I could do in the same time).

     

    I did learn something though. In a single ipad house with two kids and a wife I wouldn't have got to use it on the sim very often anyway. Four ipads would save a lot of arguments ;)

     

    Hopefully someone else does the project for you in the future!

     

    Thanks.

     

    In a word? That sucks. Thanks for the tease.

    Boy, this is so great what you're doing here! When I bought my iPad I had no idea that I might be able to use this within some of my games... bloody fantastic that is! Keep up the excellent work and know that there's at least one more buyer to your app when it's ready. Now please hurry up and make it ready as my HOTAS Warthog will be here tomorrow and it's time I start getting back into this sim. ;) Thanks. :)
