Looked at the github project and I think I could use this. For now just planning on DCS-BIOS - not the arduino library. Few questions... 1. The export data stream format - is that a DCS-BIOS format or DCS. 2. My understanding from the docs, is that the export data stream will only contain data/switches that got changed...so how does one initialize the program (and the displayed switches/buttons) when using DCS-BIOS when the mission starts. 3. Looking at the sample python project, you have the following line. Where are the offsets, masks for all the switches defined? # address = 0x10e4, mask = 0x3800, shift_by = 11 cmspMode = IntegerBuffer(parser, 0x10e4, 0x3800, 11, lambda i: print("CMSP MODE: ", i)) Thanks and appreciate the work put into this project.

I'm impressed with this program and thinking about getting it. Any documentation on the program itself. For example, when I have 2 aircraft of interest - it shows the distance between them and a label box - hot/cold etc - would like some help deciphering and also how to use optimally.

I'm thinking of writing an app to control switches/buttons for my aircraft. Most probably to be run on a remote tablet. Any help/pointers interfacing with DCS - getting and setting button data would be appreciated - thanks.

Will guys at ED fix this damn track file playback bug!!! It's super annoying! After I finally win a mission - I'd like to save the track file to play it back. No can't do it! Almost every playback is different. I tried tacview and for gods sake a third party software records missions perfectly fine. No more module purchases for me until this bug is fixed!

I'm running DCS at 1920x1080. I was thinking of upgrading my monitor to a higher res. How does DCS work at these resolutions... Will the cockpit and full-screen mode resize nicely...looks better? I understand there'll be a fps hit.

Question about the VIVE Thinking about getting this device... I understand there's 2 wall mounted units - for walking around experience. I think both have to be within sight of each other - i.e. facing each other. But for DCS, I'll be sitting down and my seat is more in the corner of the room. So will I have to move these 2 boxes - so that they're both in front of me when sitting in the corner. Are those 2 boxes and for that matter the hand-held devices necessary for DCS - because I plan to use my HOTAS.

Any help here. I installed the mod - but can't find the training mission.

Sure...what's the name of the server. Also i checked out the calendar - adding the timezone would be helpful. I don't have headset or software - but if this experience is cool - i will get them.

I think I saw you there last night... but here's the problem i have with MP - i joined your team but couldn't find you. pressed f10 and it doesn't show locations of other peeps. so i flew around for a little bit and then logged out.

Any tips on how to do the funnel.

Well the problem I found with most of the servers - is that it's not organized...no real mission. everyone is flying everywhere - team kills...and in a heli you can be blown up any second. what's the point right? I'm not using teamspeak...and I realize for missions it needs to be organized and scheduled. So understand that issue. I live in jersey - we should fly a mission together.

Yup that would be a good idea. Go to youtube and search 'dcs blackshark datalink'

I'm looking for good heli multiplayer servers. Can't find any - most airplane based. US - east coast.

Just installed MFCD - and am not getting any results. - first I enabled KA50 screens - after reading the OP it seems those screens are not supported in DCS 1.5 right? - I tried A10 LMFCD and RMFCD screens and it crashes on opening the mission. I looked in my saved-folder/Scripts and there's no export.lua file there - shouldn't there be one. Looks like once you close the program by clicking in the X - it doesn't shut download. Multiple instances can be created. Some docs how how to install and it going would be helpful.

You were right.

AP Channel ON? Isn't that the same button as AP/FD - shouldn't that be off - as explained by all responders - or is this another mode of flying. This button label is a little bit confusing because when the button is enabled (lit) - you're really disabling the AP right and flying manually with flight direction. Pressing the brake - won't that change to a new RA altitude when released. I would have thought that if there's terrain coming up - increase just the collective and when over, decrease collective. Then the AP would try to get back to the last set RA altitude.

I believe I have configured as suggested by all - thanks. But still it crashes into the side of the mountain - do i have to increase collective manually, pitch up or both?

Any help here...still not working for me. I watched coupla datalink videos and pretty sure am following the steps to a tee. all i get is 'unable'.

I wasn't doing it - but I did it and not much better result. I do have FD/AP button off - so the 4 square buttons including ALT are ON and the one to the right FD/AP is off. It seems to be working but then again it crashes into the side of the mountain - not climbing fast enough...not flying that fast and the terrain doesn't rise very quickly. Am I suppose to adjust the collective also manually?

How can I do this... I'm flying 50 RA high, forward at a set speed - no flight plan or route active. Aircraft is trimmed. How can I set up - so that the heli will keep flying forward but keep 50 RA. I've got ALT enabled, FD/AP enabled and DH/DT switch toggle in middle.

No target is static and targeting is being done by AI - so i'm sure it's being done correctly. The azimuth (direction) to the target seems correct - but have to move up/down to find the target. Someone wrote that the map elevation data may be off etc.

1. Once I have the Schval locked on a target - how can I move to a different target w/o resetting the screen - let's say I want to move to another tank right next to the one locked on. 2. I reported this issue before...but when I get a datalink target - i lock the schval on it and the target is nowhere to be seen. is this still a bug?

I was playing the Dora. I set one side to Germany and the other US - who knew they were allies. I changed US to Belarus and now all good - they're enemies. DCS you so funny!

This was mainly operator error + also rudder settings. All good now.
