    New Adventure - Working to setup a cockpit

    in Home Cockpits

    Posted

    Good Morning all!

    I am working to build out an F16 cockpit using Tek Creations panels.  I have an idea, where I would design and send to a fab shop, 4 aluminum panels for the right and left console mounts for all of the control panels.  Using his mounting templates (DXF files?) - I should be able to get the cutouts right.

    That being said - I am totally new to the idea of designing files to represent this.  And am 100% willing to learn, and make mistakes.  With all the knowledge here, I was hoping to presume to ask for a few pointers, website links and software packages that can be used on KDE Neon / Ubuntu desktop. (I use windows for DCS and iRacing, but that is about it).

    In addition to that, I have 2 Thrustmaster USB MFD button panels that I'd love to get working internal screens setup on.  Is there an authoritative site that has done this already?

    I assume that cutting aluminum with a laser cutter involves several thousands of dollars of investment.  Perhaps black Plexiglass might be the way to go?  Or perhaps I design the files and send to a "cutout" shop? (is that even the right word? LOL).

    I realize I am stepping into a very, very deep rabbit hole - and while I have google'd a bunch about laser cutters, cad, etc... It's a bit overwhelming, and I would welcome a bit of mentoring as I start out.  Getting pointed in the right direction by the knowledgeable people here, I think, would be very, very helpful.

    Thank you all in advance - and I appreciate any of you that are willing to give me gentle or not so gentle nudges in the right direction.

    Raven One - please read

    I have found out why this is happening.

    I use left windows key + home to auto start the F18.

    When I do this, the space key turns into some kind of monster, and returns random keystrokes.

    I can then exit out of DCS via alt - tab. Press left windows key + home. And return to DCS, and all seems normal again.

     

    Is the windows+home combination doing something to the OS? Keyboard system?

    VR settings

    I too am trying to get things setup / configured for optimal VR.

    Right now, I am running a 2080TI and an AMD 3800X + Vive Pro. About 10% off the metrics off, I assume, the king of the hill for DCS which would be an i9 9900K (correct me if I am wrong).

     

    All of this runs on a Samsung SSD.

     

    Shaders installed, medium settings. Running at 1.5 resolution via Steam VR. (PD in DCS is set to 1).

     

    I am still playing around with it - but in an F16 on the CCIP training mission, I get a pretty steady 45fps with the rare stutter. It will go up to 90fps.

     

    On the supercarrier case I mission, I was struggling to keep 35fps. All according to fpsvr.

     

    Strangely, fpsvr shows the video card doing just fine, and the CPU in all orange. (Which I understand is not good).

     

    Anyone have thoughts or comments on what area I might want to examine next?

    changing positions of menu's and text displays

    in General Questions

    Posted

    Is it possible to change the menu's (Radio menu) so that they are dragable in game, and remember their positions?

     

    I have a 4 monitor setup with a GTX670 - and I use 3 monitors in an Obutto, and a 4th monitor to hold the MFD's for A-10 Virtual Cockpit for iPad.

     

    two things happen that are knid of a pain.

     

    1) the radio menu positions itself out on the far edges of monitor #4.

    2) the text for training, and for other messages positions itself on the far left of monitor #1.

     

    Ideally, I'd like to be able to control those positions without editing lua's - in game.

    Possible Fix for DCS World Multiplayer Crash Issue

    in Multiplayer Issues

    Posted

    Ok - here is what worked for me.

     

    Navigate to the Users/<YOUR NAME>/Saved Games folder.

    Locate the DCS folder - and rename it "DCS - OLD"

    Start the game, and it should work.

    Copy the new DCS to "DCS - Good"

    Now - your config etc.. are going to be erased. You can either use the game to restore it - or try to copy lua files back into the new good folder.

     

    Once you have a good working config - copy that back over to the DCS - Good folder. When your game crashes again, you should copy the DCS - Good back over to the DCS folder.

     

    I'll update this again if I find any other changes/issues with this method.

     

    So far - it's very tenative. I see that lots of people are having the problem, and wanted to get up the method that solved the issue for me tonight.

    Training Missions 1.2.0

    Ditto that as well.

    I do not hear any voice from the instructor on all of the A-10 training missions. I have only done the a-10 training missions as I am practicing just on the A-10 right now.

     

    So - no instructor voice for me any more either.

     

    Help!
