CTS For Windows (IL2)
Hi Home Fries, with the latest release of Target this now no longer works, I think its because of the button increase from 32 to 120 but I don't have the skills to fix it.
This is the error
Compile Error: Identifier name expected in Common/dx+.tmh at line 61
Could you please let me know if you are still maintaining this or do I need to look for another solution.
Thanks
Guys reverting back to target TARGET_v3.0.21.910_rev1 fixes the problem.
Spud,
I was away for a while, and just saw this. It's no doubt due to the new version of TARGET that allows up to 120 buttons. This makes the DX+.tmh file redundant and likely incompatible. I'll need to look at this, so please be patient.

Are you planning to do an update around release date?
No promises. I'm very near the stack limit of what TARGET will allow. I'm hoping I can get one more module in before I put all my effort into CTS 3.0.

Did you mean upload the dcs_world.tmc file? Can't find a .cts file.
I did update successfully; did not realize there was a version.txt in both the CTS folder and the CTS\DB folder and I overwrote only the former.
Since updating and rebooting the PC the TrackIR glitch I described will not repeat. That said, I did get into a state where Hat2 was taking me to external views in the F5 rather than Sight Mode and TMS. This also has not repeated in 2 subsequent sessions.
My TrackIR is actually a V3 Pro from 2004 with the Vector upgrade (said I was getting back in to flight sims but I didn't say from how far back).
Thanks
Yes, the TMC file. Sorry.
Also, sorry I took so long to get back. I was away all last week.

I am running 2.710 from a December download from the Google drive. Updated the version.txt to the version date stamped 12/27 but still getting the 'server not available' message for the VAF site
Once you have downloaded version.txt (and the version in the OP of this thread is correct), be sure to put it in the CTS\DB folder. You should be prompted to overwrite the original. If this doesn't work, you can always reinstall. As long as you install to the same location, it won't affect your custom profile settings.

TrackIR value set to '1' in CTS. the b30-31-32 modifiers are properly added in DCS per the CTS manual. I've been flogging the F-5E as my training a/c and am using v2.48 diff.lua's. Getting inconsistent results on the pause and particularly un-pause. Seems that S3-H1Right is un-pausing the TrackIR which is contrary to the 'Special Key Combinations' on the v2.48 mapping image.
Please upload your dcs_world.cts file so I may analyze it.

Hello Home Fries,
May be I'm wrong but I think I have found 2 little issues (I use HOTAS Cougar) I'd like to report
M-2000C :
The Radar Rng Disp Decr & Radar Rng Disp Incr don't seem to work anymore, pressing S3+H2L or S3+H2R as indicated in the Profile JPG document
It's not a drama as there is another way to increase/decrease radar range (eg. sliding the cursor on top/bottom edges of radar)Mig-21Bis :
I use Vaicom and PTT (MSD) doesn't work (anymore ?). I guess it was working last time I (seriouly) used the Mig-21Bis (several years ago !).
Looking Vaicom, I see they map the radio on TX2 ... I suspect the MSD call TX1.
As workaround, I first set the PTT on Vaicom to SNGL ... but I found a topic explaining how to set a Conditional (if statement) in VoiceAttack.
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/254389-per-aircraft-ptt-buttons/
So, when current module is MiG-21Bis, when I press Button 20, it executes TX2. I simply hope it will continue to execute TX1 for my other modules
I'll take a look at the Mirage. I haven't looked at the MiG-21 since VAICOM went freeware, so I'll take a look when I get an opportunity. Thanks for the heads-up. No promises; it may be something I need to fix in CTS 3.0.
On 1/13/2024 at 7:27 PM, Chicki said:Hi guys. I just updated to 2.720. Is anyone having trouble with their TM mfd's? In the Hornet, my mfd's are acting wonky. The default mfd keypresses activate all kinds of stuff. Seems like keypresses are cycling through every layer keypress, whether long or short, direct entry, or S3 pressed or not. It's weird. Also, I'm not sure which kb file to load. I understand the difference between the N and R versions, but there are two files. Same with the wh files(I have the warthog). I've tried all combinations. Anyone else having trouble? Appreciate any ideas. Thanks pilots.
Hey guy. Think I might have figured it out. It just takes a lot shorter button press than I was used to. Just make sure I do a real short button press. Seems to work. Still not sure about what kb and wh files to use. Thanks.
I responded to your PM, but I'll post the answer for everyone else's benefit.
I noticed on the hornet in particular that you need longer keypresses than the default 60ms to get something to register. I actually increased the default keypress time for the F/A-18 in particular, though this is something you can adjust in CTS. If you go to the F/A-18C section of the values page, you'll see Keypress Duration for F/A-18 and Delay between Keypresses for F/A-18. These are set to 70 and 80ms respectively, and you can increase them by small amounts to work for your system.
Regarding the diff.lua files, the R/N for the kb file is for the orientation of the numeric keypad, where N is for Normal (789 on the top, 123 on the bottom) and R is for Reverse (123 on the top, 789 on the bottom like the UFC itself). The rest of the files are for the specific controllers, e.g. WH for Warthog and HC for HOTAS Cougar. The first 2 MFDs are applied to the TARGET profile integrated into the virtual controller. The MFD3 diff.luas are for if you have a third MFD you can apply that to the individual controller in DCS (TARGET sees only the first 2 MFDs). Remember that the controls menu is a spreadsheet, where the commands are the rows and the controllers are columns, and each controller gets its own assignments (and its own diff.lua).

Everyone,
I'm happy to announce that version 2.72 is released, along with a new webhost that should provide better uninterrupted service than my personal NAS.
A new installer is available in the original post, as well as an updated version.txt that you can place in your CTS\DB folder. However, if you do not wish to do a full update, you can open your existing version.txt and replace the top line with this entry:
http://cts.virtualarmedforces.com/CTS/DCS/CTSversion.txt
I would also like to give a special shout out to the Virtual Armed Forces for hosting CTS going forward. This may seem a bit self-serving since I am a member of the VAF, but I cannot appreciate enough their commitment to the storage and bandwidth CTS requires. If you ever want to play PvE multiplayer in a competent, yet relaxed atmosphere, give the VAF a look. You can also see us in the Air Combat Sim Podcast #42!

Hello,
Unfortunately I can't get any further with the profile.
When I start the target software this message appears: Running script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Thrustmaster\TARGET\scripts\DCS_World.tmc
Compile Error:Type required in sys.tmh at line 1Since I understand English very poorly, I would be happy if someone could help me in German.
Thanks a lot
WernerFirst, you shouldn't install CTS to your TARGET folder in c:\Program Files (x86). This is a protected folder. Install CTS to someplace like your Documents folder. CTS will find your TARGET install.
Next, be sure to compile DCS_World.tmc in the CTS graphical user interface prior to running it.
I'm sorry I can't spell this out auf Deutsch. Ich habe 2.5 jahre Deutsch gelernen, aber Ich vergessen!

All,
It's been a while, but I'm happy to announce that I have a persistent solution to hosting that takes the CTS content off my NAS and onto the cloud. I would like to thank @VAF [136] Striker of the Virtual Armed Forces (shameless plug) for the storage space.
A month ago, I had to change my network solution, and with the new solution I was unable to forward the HTTP port to my NAS, and I refuse to set it up as a DMZ. Once the cloud-based solution is finalized (thanks again, VAF, in another shameless plug), I will upload a new installer EXE as well as an updated version.txt for you to use if you don't wish to reinstall. In the meantime, the latest files are still available on my Google Drive. Just extract the zip files to your CTS folder and they're nested properly to go into the folders they should be in.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Id also be interested in joining a F14 squadron. Seems like the Discord invite expired though. Is this still active?
We are recruiting, and the discord was just updated (we were unaware that the so-called permanent link had expired). We'd love for both of you to stop by our channel and see if we're a fit for you.
Full disclosure: activity for our F-14 squadron is currently suspended while we build the F-15E squadron, but we will gladly reopen it for membership with interest like yours. We have one F-14 driver who recently returned. We're also happy to instruct in both pilot and RIO seats.

Thank you for doing these missions. They're a great addition to the training regimen!

Just wondering if you plan in short/medium future to acquire Mirage F1 module and develop a profile for it ?
I am hesitating to purchase a module when it doesn't have a profile in CTS
I do have a Mirage F1 plan but it won't be until CTS 3.0. I'm at the stack limit of what TARGET will allow, and to add more I need to completely revamp the system. I do have a plan for this, but I just need the time to implement it.

Hey!
As TF-51 is a free module and P-51 shares all the settings with it, it is not listed to be enabled.
It’s in the script by default.
Happy flying Max.
Thanks, Kisi!

I use 7zip, I looked and did not see an option to enable nesting. I will look again..
You shouldn't need to enable nesting in 7Zip; it should automatically extract with the folder tree. Get with me offline and we can figure it out.

Hey HomeFries,
I DL'd the files from Google drive and when I extracted them to the CTS Folder they did not seem to be properly nested unless I did something wrong unzipping them?? but they did not put the fileswhere they belonged. it was just all unzipped folders in the CTS folder..
Which program did you use, and did you make sure nesting was enabled when you extracted?
-
All,
I am in the process of upgrading my network infrastructure, which should hopefully show improvements in reliability in the coming days (i.e. my not having to keep resetting the server). Once the upgrade is complete, I will post a new downloadable version of CTS with updated links.
Until the server is back up, I've posted the files on my Google Drive. Just extract the zip files to your CTS folder and they're nested properly to go to the folders they should be in. The version.txt will let you compare existing files with the updated files to see what needs to change (if you don't want to do a complete install).
Just to keep things simple, the hotfix for DCS 2.9 will come once the infrastructure is upgraded. The only thing you'll really miss until then are NVGs on the F-86.

All,
In light of yesterday's patch, I'm hard at work updating the lua and diff.lua files for a hotfix. So far I have updated the F-15E (updated the TF couple switch) and AJS-37 (KONTROLL button) and updated the F-86 NVG mod. Most controller lua changes seem administrative in nature.
That said, if you discover any broken mappings, please post them here so I may integrate them into the next hotfix. I'd like to get this out over the weekend.
