@tribundf, where does it say 878 on aerosoft.com ? Only package I can find on arosoft is the 4th Gen pre-assembled set for 1249.99 Euro. Other 'distributors' list it with same price or higher. (Gen3 with their 'flip' pedals and straight stick goes for less) /Gus

Nice find 1250Euro,from Germany, could be worse Where are they located ? Guess US but their homepage info is kinda lacking usefull info and same about more essential techy part, Manual says 12 bit resolution but that kinda all there is except some dimension pics

Looking for 3D printable files for the 2" & indexer housing having true (or close to) size. Either as separate pieces or combined per side. Anyone that has or can provide a source or link ? A fee for a 'one time print option' of a complete housing is not a problem just if it stay in acceptable levels Cheers Gus

Absolutly fantastic, you sure some of them aren't the real deal ? Home made tubes or real ones? The wear and tear seems beyond possible to recreate and the faceplate looks great Cheers Gus

Hi. Just checked the DCS-BIOS\lib\A10C.lua file (0.5.1) and a found the "defineElectricallyHeldSwitch" function (commented out). local defineElectricallyHeldSwitch = BIOS.util.defineElectricallyHeldSwitch --local function defineElectricallyHeldSwitch(msg, device_id, pos_command, neg_command, arg_number, category, description) -- document { identifier = msg, category = category, description = description, control_type = "electrically_held_switch", value_type = "enum", value_enum = {"0", "1"}, can_set = false, actions = {"PUSH", "RELEASE", "OFF"} } -- --moduleBeingDefined.lowFrequencyMap[msg] = function(dev0) return string.format("%.0f", dev0:get_argument_value(arg_number)) end -- moduleBeingDefined.inputProcessors[msg] = function(action) -- if action == "PUSH" then GetDevice(device_id):performClickableAction(pos_command, 1) end -- if action == "RELEASE" then GetDevice(device_id):performClickableAction(neg_command, 0) end -- if action == "OFF" then GetDevice(device_id):performClickableAction(pos_command, 0) end -- end --end defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("LASTE_EAC", 38, 3026, 3027, 129, "LASTE Panel", "EAC On/Off") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("SASP_YAW_SAS_L", 38, 3003, 3004, 185, "SAS Panel", "Yaw SAS Left OFF - ENGAGE") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("SASP_YAW_SAS_R", 38, 3005, 3006, 186, "SAS Panel", "Yaw SAS Right OFF - ENGAGE") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("SASP_PITCH_SAS_L", 38, 3007, 3008, 187, "SAS Panel", "Pitch SAS Left OFF - ENGAGE") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("SASP_PITCH_SAS_R", 38, 3009, 3010, 188, "SAS Panel", "Pitch SAS Right OFF - ENGAGE") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("ANTI_SKID_SWITCH", 38, 3028, 3029, 654, "Landing Gear and Flap Control Panel", "Anti-Skid Switch") defineElectricallyHeldSwitch("LCP_ANTICOLLISION", 49, 3010, 3011, 289, "Light System Control Panel", "Anticollision Lights") Is this function operational or could be made to be ? I guess it's work in progress or that issues are found but can't hurt asking. Any chanse getting these to work properly in the pit would be great. Sorry for being a numbhead here but if I read the function correctly, it set the clickabledata value for the cockpit switch itself. How is the output pin controlled that 'power' the coil of the MagSwitch itself ? All the best and thanks for a great application Cheers Gus

USB devices can drive one mad. Win7 without disabling power save settings is one thing but Win10 and USB handling is worse for generic devices such as Arduinos and TM MFDs. The last ones got popping in and out in a 5-10 seconds freq. Only way to stop that was to have the device setting dialog opened permanatly. Power setting in OS made no difference.Serveral thread here about that and can't tell if that been solved. I made a roll back to Win 7 meanwhile Check also type of USB port Connected. USB v2 works fine for me but had several problems with devices connected to USB v3 ports and also when connected through HUBs sharing other devices.

Any chanse this is related to windows power settings for USB ports ?

True but the questions is also where the rendering take place, under SoftTh I was told it was on primary gpu only but I dont remember if that was the app or dcs limitation, guess the former but not sure. Have an older 7970 with 6 outputs (4 connected, main view, mfds and cdu) and a legecy 3 head with currently only one monitor ( cloock viewport) connected. My framerate is about the same as yours (25-45 fps) so I guess that an extra top view might be hard in std hd res.

Running my rig (on win7) with multi GPUs (not interconnected). Add the "new" monitor added to win desktop, arrange total layout to the lowest possible area to render. Then push the assigned viewport to the area of choise. Select the lowest possible screen resolution you can coop with for the port assigned to the 'external' GPU. Used to use SoftTH to further adjust render/monitor but currently skipped that. It will have a fps impact but the quiz is how much (Edit: not using sorround setup though) Cheers Gus

Thanks. Really looking forward to this. Huge effort Ha det gött /gus

For a single magswitch I found no problems but when all SAS panel mags released and tried to lock'en in close sequence They had to be held s "long" time to build up the needed power to stay in place (used a modded atx ps for the 12 V then). No problems yet with a separate 24V supply. I made a Quick and dirty hold function within Sioc but haven't all dependencies implemented. Currently only monitor/export the on-> off movment of each logical switch and when it released by dcs, I cut power to the relay controlling each magswitch. Then activate the relay/power to the coil with the physical switch position again, releasing it and if dcs trigger the off again, the cycle repeat again But to build such in dcs-bios (if possible), its beyond me currently :-) The option to export the state of the "coils" of each Magswitch would be great but I havent found any value accessible via DCS Witchcraft (not saying it's not there)

Just compared the texture of the seat back rest posted earlier with the real thing and thought it might be fun to view. Hard to tell'em apart. The tear and wear shows clearly and is almost identical

Hi LNS, Prordered and eagerly await the realease of corse but it can't hurt to ask... - any possibility to post the existing pre release versions of the following files for the 37 ? clickabledata.lua mainpanel.lua devices.lua Cockpit building planning started :-) I'll hope for the best and If not an option, I'll wait Cheers Gus

Hi Hans. Nice progress. Got my anti-col switch i place but not yet wired and able to test but a note regarding voltage. Had my other driven by 12V initially, lock was good at first attempt but failed most of times when try to reinstate "on" after release. Swapped to a 24V supply and problem gone. Relay board controlled in my case. If you find a "hold" funtion please ping back. Cheers /gus

You tested this? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2133064&postcount=2 works ok for me, easily applied to several instruments

Great, PM inbound

Thanks Wayne. PM respone inbound

Now you talking Politics... :-)

Solved it. Just a bit more pressure...

Hi. Anyone have an idea how the needle is attached to the axis and how can I remove it without braking it ? I don't see any marks in the small center piece on top of the needle so I guess it presure fit only. Tried with limited force but it does not move. It's an ongoing attempt to mod an OXY panel and replace the steam gauge with a VID :-) Cheers /Gus

While waiting for Santa (I sneaked away and assembled my CMSC :- ) Vids are crappy (and so is the faceplate of the CMSP) CMSC uses a I2C 2*20 display (white) with a green filter on top (Thanks Anton), Pics lie a bit, color is true medium green and looks great CMSP has a 2x16, char strings chopped to be shown in the shorter width of display but seems to work fine. Both are driven with a mix of DCS-BIOS and SIOC (for buttons). None of panels has back light Merry Christmas to all Cheers Gus

Same problem here, need to find a base where the handle not returning to center when "hands off" and with some level of stiction. Got a Cougar base at hand but the quiz is how to get the handle to stay in a chosen position edit: have'nt checked the handle of 37 yet but plan is to do it next stop on VFM in early -17. If it's same or close as in the 35 Draken, the scroll wheel is with limited movement with a center detent, need a good quality mini pot to mod a standard handle.

Yupp, but double the cost, will survive though. I'll bed down in our AJ37 meanwhile and vision about the future ;-)

Prepurchased but through standard site. Missed the LNS bundle option with the T-shirt stated in first post here :-( Have to learn to read before act Marry Christmas to all /Gus
