Hi all. i am having some problems assigning my joystick buttons. part of the configuration is grayed out. How can i fix this?

ok. this sucks. was hoping there was a easy way to do this.

Hello lads. Since DCS has soooo many keys that to activate/deactivate systems I want to create a switch/toggle function addon, mod or whatever you guys call it. Basically what i want to do is to make button X on my joystick switch between different systems. Ie. same as keyboard key 1,2,3,4,5,6... So each time i press down joystick_btn X i want to increase my ""counter"" by 1. I already posted my question in the Input & ... Thread. but i feel it more it belongs in this section of the forum. My questions are. * How do i get the "event" when i press my joystick button X. * How do i get this to fire up my own function? As to my 1st question i guess its possible since in this directory: C:\Games\DCS World\Scripts\Input\InputEvents.lua is see this addEvent("JOY_BTN16", JOYSTICK_BUTTON15) Which is the button i want to use. I guess addEvent is some sort of function that takes a string name as its 1st argument. but what is the second one? a value ? a function ? .. basically what i want to do is toggle between some states when i press the same button. example. MY_var = 0 function MY_weaponselector() local weaponOrderlist = { "Select Weapon AA 1", "Select Weapon AA 1-2", "Select Weapon AA 2", "Select Weapon AA 3", "Select Weapon AA 3-4", "Select Weapon AA 4", "Select Weapon B 1-2 / UB-16" "Select Weapon B 1-4 / UB-4", "Select Weapon B 3-4 / UB-8", "Select Weapon S-24 1-2", "Select Weapon S-24 3-4"} MY_var = MY_var + 1 -- length of MY_var -- -- reset and start at 1st weapon again -- if MY_var > 11: MY_var == 0 action = weaponOrderlist[MY_var] print "howto execute action?" im not sure how to put this all together and make it work. could anyone please help me with this? ..

Ok. so after searching around a bit i found where my config was saved. C:\Users\Me\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\MiG-21Bis\joystick\Saitek X52 Flight Controller {B768C110-8B26-11e2-8001-444553540000}.diff.lua I dig around in that file and found the button number i want to have as a "toggle switch". i descriped in 1st post. ["d3188pnilunilcd42vd0.6vpnilvunil"] = { ["added"] = { [1] = { ["key"] = "JOY_BTN16", }, }, ["name"] = "Select Weapon AA 1-2", }, so form here im stuck. so i dig a bit more around. and noticed the file "C:\Games\DCSWorld\Scripts\Input\InputEvents.lua"i noticed down the file this.. addEvent("JOY_BTN16", JOYSTICK_BUTTON15) im just starting to learn lua. but to me this seems like a event function that is triggered on control input. can i add this to the bottom of my config file: (Saitek X52 Flight Controller {B768C110-8B26-11e2-8001-444553540000}.diff.lua ) --- function MYFUNCTION () do stuff return something end addEvent("JOY_BTN16",MYFUNCTION) and clear out the d3120pnilunilcd14vd0vpnilvunil dict ?

Get trackIr 5. There is no turning back after. I had it for years now and never regret that i got one. I cant stand playing DCS without it anymore. :p . Just a side note about it thought, the can be verry fragile. i had to glue mine once but nothing some glue and tape cant fix :p if you have a stick like x52+ or someting you can have your rudder on the z axis on the stick.

Hi all. I noticed that after i edit my controllers and want to save my profile. it doesnt create the lua file.. I press "Save Profile As". Dialog pops up and i select my desktop, and name the file x52-mig.lua . then press Ok. but the file is never created.. how to fix this? Another question then popsup.. where are my mig config settings for my joystick saved/loaded from??

Hello all. Hello all. i have a X52 joystick (not the pro version) And im trying to setup the buttons for mig21 etc. I am not using the saitek software so, please dont post if youre suggestion involves using that software ;p I see that the the config files are written in lua scipting language. Now. i like to know if i if its possible to use example button 16 on my joystick.. to switched between (key button 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) "on the keyboard" basically what i want i that when i press button 16 on joystick it be the same as pressing 1 on keyboard. pressing the button one more time is the same as pressing 2 and so forth. once it reaches 9 it starts at 1 on next press. is is possible to make such a function? can anyone show me howto if so..

Hehe.. ofcource its not :p Didnt think about that one. was just pressing my keys like a mad man :p Thanks.

Hi all. Im having some problems with my Drag Chute. The Drag chute does activate just fine. But when i want to disconnect it, it doest do it. Pressing RCtrl + RShift + D dosent work att all.. Is this a known Bug?

And thank god ED is not steamifyed. Steam just sucks ass :p CA Bought. Thanks ED for this sale :D

Plane bought & downloading :) might get CA aswell .

Ok. thanks for the info.

Sale on plane? Hi. I just noticed that there is a sale on planes. Bought the mig 21 yesterday. damn :p But anyway. was thinking of getting the F-86F Sabre. I see its listed as 14.99$ But when i login and press Buy its listed as full prize in my shopping cart.. Whats that all about?

Hi all. Im getting some problems when i try to into multiplayer. After i press login i only get back: Invalid Master login/password Everything was working just fine yesterday. The Issue started today wheni wanted to check if there was any playing online. I have not done any changes to my login name or password. All i did last night before i hit the bed was mess around a bit in the editor with the P-51.. This is really annoying. Is the issue on my side or with ED Master server? Edit: Now its working Normal again.. Dont know what was wrong. but i suspect something with the master server.. maybe maintenance.

I like to see the Harrier / AV8B in DCS:world. Would be fun to try to do a vertical landing on a carrier :)

Hello all. First of. im a bit new to this forum and not sure the correct place to post this question. Please Move it if needed. Now. i do like to start to learn how to Mod for DCS. "not in a normal sense of making models" But making new GUI on my menus, etc. I would think this would be one of the easy things to do. But to be honest. i have no idea where to start doing this or anything. The only other game for i have done modding is for arma series. I tried to navigate a bit on the forum but it always makes me wounder. where am i now and am i at the correct place to post. :p I seen the scripting language used in DCS is Lua. I have never used Lua myself so i need to pick up on that. Though scripting is nothing new to me. i already know python, Sqf "from arma", Php, js, etc, and ofcource some basic c++ :) If someone could sum up some links to guides etc regarding how to start modding for DSC i would appreciate it.

BitMaster There is nothing wrong with my mouse. My mouse if working just fine. this is a issue with DCS. This is the only game i get this problem with. My mouse is working perfectly on my desktop and in all other games i have cichlidfan Yes its on. I tried disabling it. but it dosent help. Update. When i do not move my mouse ingame.. it dissapares from the screen. but once i start moving it, i see its flikkering, Its verry hard to play like this. pressing buttons in my cockpit is a nightmare at the moment. I have also tried to update my video drivers to the latest one. but nogo there aswell.

Hi.. I have a issue with my mouse when i play DCS. Whenever i startup dcs my mouse is not much visible. My mouse is flikering and hard to see where it is. In MP its even worse than what its in SP. The MP lobby is the worst place of all.. its a guessing game to find out where my mouse is. "Im starting to get good at it :p" I have read before that this could be because i use ati + a 3 screen setup. However. i do not use all 3 screen in DCS nor do i have enabled Eyfinity. I do not know whats causing this or how to fix it. Does anyone got a solution for this issue? PS. If posted in the wrong place please move the thread to the correct place.

Thank you sir shagrat.. Moving it from switches to modifiers worked. I now know what buttons im pressing :D

I have a problem with my pinky too. My pinky is working. However i like to configure the stick so that i have to hold in the pinky when i want to use a 2nd setup ( the modifier) of buttons. My problem now is that when i press the pinky the stick toggels between Normal state and Modifier state. This is rather annoying as i do not have any indicators if the stick is in normal mode or in modifier mode. I do really hate this toggel function and want to remove it so i hold down the pinky to enter modifier mode instead. How can i do this??? PS. im not using the X52 software and i dont have any profiles set in it. All my setup is done purly in DCS.

Ok. Thanks for your quick reply

Hello people. I am woundering if the A10c can dump fuel during flight? If it can how do i do this?

how about taking a look at the wiki ?? http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Editing_and_modding

thank you! this game performs like crap so i need every thing that can squeeze out every fps possible :)

if your dcs a10 doesnt show up on the page http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/myserials.php it most likely because the a10 module is bound to another user account. try to see if you have used another email address on the recover password thingy in multiplayer login.
