Disabled at the moment, I figured with 16gb or ram I shouldn't need one. Is this the mysterious memory leak that everyone's been talking about?
-
Wow, definitely does not need fixing... Is it always a SU-25T that ejects out of his head?
-
Here is the DX Diag. Motherboard is an ASUS P8-Z68M-Pro with 16gb Corsiar memory (tested using memtest+, it's good.) GPU is a Geforce 550Ti, PSU is a Corsair 650W. DxDiag.txt

So far I've only locked while playing DCS. Borderlands 2 / Starcraft 2 / anything else runs without any problems what-so-ever. It's not a reboot-lock, it's a screen freeze/sound looping lock. Had it again tonight...
-
Nope, this is stock 1.2.8. I tried editing a few more BIOS settings, including turning off USB sleep mode and power save mode. I also pushed my system into overclock mode instead of running it at normal mode. (Because this system had a problem where if the graphics card went to low power and then back to high power it'd cause crashes but I haven't had that problem in years. Still it never locked the system...) Will try it this week and see how it runs.

The only thing I have on USB 3.0 is an external hard drive that I recently added to the system on USB 3.0 ports. This could very well be the cause of the lock-ups and would explain the keyboard not working after reboot. I will check it out. What do the xHCI settings actually control?

Would DCS benefit from using datarefs like X-Plane?
docfu replied to doveman's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I'm not sure how x-plane's system works but it would be nice to know how the places in DCS are actually programmed. It seems odd to me that a plane like the SU-25T, having 3 states for lights (On, blinking, off) would only have a single push button to toggle between them. It seems like must be an additional layer of code to make switching between them would be needed. Honestly if I knew how to program my own functions and controls into aircraft directly, I'd probably start doing that for the functions I wanted... -
What model of USB LCD?

I had part of this conversation in another thread but anyway: Ever since updating to 1.2.8 I'm getting system locks. Both screens freeze and all USB devices lock completely leaving me to hard reboot. It always locks part way through a mission. Can be short(5 minutes) or long (over 1 hour). On reboot, USB devices such as mouse and keyboard(both wireless) fail to register until windows 7 is completely rebooted. The event viewer shows no errors up until the system is rebooted. Trying to shutdown the system via the power button fails unless it's a 7 second power cut-off. I just ran the Heaven demo for 8 hours straight at maximum settings. The system is completely stable with all other applications besides DCS 1.2.8. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem? Is anyone else having anything like this?

How to set up toggle switches (a tutorial)
docfu replied to Spy Guy's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
To make a long story short, the diff only stores the difference between the "stock" DCS files and what you want to do. So even if you make a change to the original stock files, it's worthless unless you assign a key to it. The BEST way to do this is to create NEW functions with NEW names instead of editing the existing ones. 1. Get JSGME (Generic Mod Enabler). 2. Setup the correct directory structure: MODS/DCSW -- Controller Overrides/Config/Input/Aircrafts/ 3. Copy base_joystick_binding.lua to your mods folder. THEN: A. Open base_joystick_binding.lua with notepad or notepad++. B. Find the commands you want to edit: {down = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = 'Flaps Up/Down', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn, name = 'Flaps Landing Position', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff, name = 'Flaps Up', category = 'Systems'}, C. Change them to what you want them to do...AND...change the NAME to something unique: {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = 'Flaps Switch Down', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = 'Flaps Switch Up', category = 'Systems'}, 4. Add the modded files via the Generic Mod Enabler 5. Configure the new commands with your joystick as you would normally. The key point here is that if you rename the commands and store them all at the top of the file, when ED updates in the future, all you should need to do is remove the mod, grab the new file, and copy/paste in all of your changes. This should also save you for having to keep multiple config files for each aircraft and instead let you change the base template to work properly for all aircraft. My current config looks like this: *snip* keyCommands = { {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = 'Alternate Flaps Switch Down', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = 'Alternate Flaps Switch Up', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandActiveJamming, up = iCommandActiveJamming, name = 'Alternate ECM', category = 'Countermeasures'}, {down = iCommandPowerOnOff, up = iCommandPowerOnOff, name = 'Alternate Power Switch', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneFonar, up = iCommandPlaneFonar,name = 'Alternate Canopy Open/Close', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneCockpitIllumination, up = iCommandPlaneCockpitIllumination, name = 'Alternate Illumination Cockpit', category = 'Systems'}, {down = iCommandPlaneGearUp, up = iCommandPlaneGearDown, name = 'Alternate Landing Gear Toggle', category = 'Systems'}, -- Gameplay {down = iCommandMissionRestart, name = 'Restart Mission', category = 'Debug'}, *snip* Note that I designated all of my created options with "Alternate" so they are easier to find in the menu. -
No, I speak fluent Japanese. I have an uncle-in-law and a friend who want to take it for a test drive. Would be a lot easier if I had an existing manual to help.

Shkval slew speed. Axis suggestion for TM warthog?
docfu replied to Quirkitized's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
Just a question here: Is the SHKVL on the actual SU-25T targeted using the left or the right hand? I assumed with the monitor being on the right side, and the joystick having hat switches, that the targeting would be done via the right, not the left hand, and thus I use the hat diagonal to the trim for skewing on my HOTAS Warthog. -
Very nice, what are you using for LCDS? (And are you selling duplicates?)
-
Is there any documentation for DCS World available in Japanese aside from the retail box version of DCS A-10C which only really discusses installation?
-
Would love but I doubt you can ship it to Japan legally.

How do we tell if our jamers are turned on in the su25t??
docfu replied to Raven434th's topic in Su-25T Issues
I was going to post that you could set one switch to turn it on and another to turn it off... But actually, yeah counting is the only way... -
I blow tires all the time in the SU-25T. I was wondering if it was broken because I actually landed without blowing them last night...
-
I thought the same thing because I always thought they'd be like 8" square from looking at the pictures, but in real life, they are small and just look big in the game because they are close to the pilot...

It sure would be nice if it lit up red for strawberry and purple for grape, now wouldn't it? -
NVidia 3D Vision 2 and DCS World "EDGE"
docfu replied to Mnemonic's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
For me at least I can get the same effect as nVidia 3D Vision by using stereo mode on my 55" LG and modifying the stereo display settings. -
Not that this is an F-15C question but I'm completely paranoid of both trim and autopilot on the SU-25T. I find every time I disengage my aircraft is flying in odd directions and hitting Trim Reset does nothing... Anyone else have this?

BAD Memory leak in 1.2.8 ..... Dont update if...
docfu replied to OGREMAN's topic in Game Performance
Nope. No hardware problems with Heaven. Will just keep playing and see if I can sort it out... -
I did the same thing you just did with the settings a while back, but I couldn't get the eyes setup quite right. In my opinion this is a much better option than nVidia 3D Vision, mainly because it's free... For right now I'm just using 2D though. If someone figures out the correct eye sightings I'll probably try it again although the resolution loss(50% horizontal) is kind of rough to deal with. On a side question: is there a way to change the label render size for units in game? Labels seem fine at 800x600 but they are way too small at 1920x1080...

Before doing a clean install, try backing up/moving your My Documents/Saved Games/DCS folder and then just restarting the simulation.
