I've downloaded HELIOS profile from Capt. Zeen to see how he managed to edit the RWR_ALR56_init.lua file. And properly added the entry to my monitors lua, but I can't seem to get it to show up on my second screen. Is the RWR from the F-16 bit of an offset like the F-18 IFEI? Which I had to add at x=1720 instead of everything else from x = 1910. I know the current position, at x = 1960 works, since that's the same position I have for the F-5E RWR, and it displays successfully. So, I have deduced that it is something else that I can't quite understand what it is.
-- F-16C F16_RWR = { x = 1960; y = 0; width = 200; height = 200; }The entry on Capt. Zeen's RWR_ALR56_init.lua file.
dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."devices_defs.lua") indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON shaderLineParamsUpdatable = true shaderLineDefaultThickness = 0.8 shaderLineDefaultFuzziness = 0.4 shaderLineDrawAsWire = false shaderLineUseSpecularPass = true dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("F16_RWR") opacity_sensitive_materials =http://www.captzeen.com/helios/downloads.asp
Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!

Oh, man, that sounds like a doosie! :doh: Here's a question: rather than restarting the profile, do you have satisfactory results by selecting a different module (e.g. F/A-18 ), starting that profile, then reselecting the Ka-50? If this works, this is a much more convenient workaround than restarting the profile, and it also helps to narrow down the source of the bug. If it doesn't work, at least it helps to narrow down the source of the bug.
I'm knee deep in the Tomcat profile right now in the scarce moments I'm not working, but I will investigate once I have a Tomcat profile out.
And for the Tomcat fans: :joystick::joystick:
I'm hard at work on the profile, and I hope to have a releasable update next week. However, programming both the Pilot and RIO seats in the same profile has proven to be a bigger challenge than even the C-101 (which uses different mappings for the same front and back seat functions). This is because the HOTAS and MFD buttons map to fundamentally different functions, and some things (like Jester) require modifications to existing global routines. The Tomcat profile will need a closed beta test to make sure there are no showstopper bugs that break other modules, and then I will get a WIP framework out so you guys can enjoy the Tomcat now with features and smoothing to follow later.
The HOTAS functionality for the Pilot is very similar to the default, though I have moved wing sweep to the China Hat (fwd/aft for moving the wings, S3+fwd/aft for Auto/Bomb modes respectively). Here's how the MFD functionality is grouped for the pilot:
- LMFD: ACM Panel top row, Autopilot/SAS bottom row. Left/right TBD.
- RMFD: Display mode left column, Steer Command bottom row, rocker switches toggle HUD/VDI/HSD modes.
The RIO routine is a bit more fleshed out (as befits my real-world NFO background :D ). Here are the MFD mappings:
- LMFD: CAP console (left/right buttons and bottom row for modes). Top row has weapons employment, TCS/LANTIRN, and TACAN Command buttons.
- RMFD: DDD and TID. Top row is DDD Range, columns are radar modes, and bottom row are the TID buttons for screen display. The rocker switches cycle the TID modes, range, and waypoints, and the top row of rockers (including the LSYM) operate the Lobe, Aspect, and Vc switches on the DDD.
Another feature I'm proud of is the LANTIRN mapping at the RIO station. The Warthog stick defaults to the HCU, but if you switch the laser to arm (APU on the Warthog Throttle) it remaps the stick to the LANTIRN functionality. APU off remaps the stick to the HCU again. This feature can be optionally disabled if you already have a secondary stick you use for LANTIRN.
My desire is to get this profile out ASAP with no showstopper bugs, then continue to refine the profile (adding features and fixing less-critical bugs). My real life means I'm not in a position to make promises, but I've been waiting for a good Tomcat sim for over 25 years (since Fleet Defender came out) and I have every intention of making a product I want to use, then sharing it with all of you.
:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
- LMFD: ACM Panel top row, Autopilot/SAS bottom row. Left/right TBD.

I'll copy paste the same reply I gave to another thread here, for those who are looking into this and find this thread then they can get answer they need.

I have no idea what made my DCS get back to working condition, the only thing different that I did was to change my HD. (Love it when a 15 month old HD malfunctions, and falls just a few months away from warranty).Another thing that I did, was to change on Windows Firewall all DCS entries to
Control Panel -> Windows Defender Firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound Rules -> Double click on all DCS entries. Then select ADVANCED
Check all boxes on the subsection "PROFILES"(I think this one isn't needed but regardless...)
Then at EDGE TRAVERSAL subsection(Still on the Advanced tab)
Select "Defer to User".

I've been having this problem about a week after the F-18C getting released. It started, at the beginning of it all, with freezing as when the map loaded. Then it got worse as I kept playing, when the role selection loaded and I waited for the frames to stabilize, it would immediately go to a black screen. After troubleshooting (read below), it now extended to as soon as I select any server to play.
It loads perfectly fine by pre-loading the map in the mission editor, and it loads absolutely fine on any single player game, both from Caucasus and Persian Gulf map. What seemed to work was after I deleted all the DCS settings from the DCS folder in "saved games" and not change ANY setting on the OPTIONS menu. As soon as I change anything the problem returns.
Here are some of the steps I tried, I might be forgetting something, and hopefully my memory will jog later.
1. Deleted and renamed my DCS folder in saved games.
2. Rechecked the integrity of the files using Steam.
3. Disabled all mods.
4. Disabled the antivirus.
5. Disabled any setting from my graphics card in Nvidia Inspector.
6. Deleted the entire game and redownloaded it from Steam.
7. This happens, either by loading a public server, or creating my own.
Everything I have on the Logs folder: http://www.mediafire.com/file/il7w3ekw30f81da/Logs.zip
I've included a couple of screenshots of Process Hacker when the problem happens. You can see, that after a while, it goes completely blank, and the DCS process goes practically dormant. It doesn't freezes, or stops responding, it just stands there doing nothing, or nearly nothing.
My PC specifications are:
Windows 10 Pro version 1803 - Build 17134.345
Geforce Drivers: 416.34
DCS version: 2.5.3.23225
Intel® Core i7 960 @ 3.20GHz 8 MB cache LGA1366
2X 2TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 32M Cache 7200RPM Hard Drive
1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 32M Cache 7200RPM Hard Drive

And once again I must deeply, and completely thank you, Sedenion, for this software. You have made modding easier, and much better!
I have found a bug on the 1.7.4 version(windows 10 x64)
The Dropdown list where we put the game's name, cuts out the first entries as the list grows on in size. It only holds up to 30 entries, beyond that it will cut out alphabetically, each entry.
Here's the screenshot. At the top of my head, it is missing 2 or 3 more entries. American Truck Simulator is the only one I remember the name of.
Hope this helps...
Again, thanks for the OVGME!
-
are the devs gonna help with this at all or is it just 27 pages of "same"?
Probably not.
I have tried to delete the DCS folder in the "saved games" folder and letting the game regenerate it again. It works, but as soon as I change anything in the graphics(maybe other tabs too, but I'm too irritated and tired to try) settings and the multiplayer stops working(black screen on role selection screen).
I'm currently way too salty over this, because the price of the plane + the map, was equivalent(monetary impact, due to how low the minimum wage is in brazil) to about $400 to an American. But, thankfully, single player works flawlessly. I just can't play ANY multiplayer.
I was going to make another thread about this, but I'm still reeling over a month of attempts, and trying after every patch. :joystick:
-
Before this patch, I could get up to the Briefing screen. Which, after clicking "fly" would load up forever, either CTDing, or kicking me back to the main menu. Now, after yesterday's patch, the moment I click to select my role(the scroll bar), I get a black screen.

Version 3 is ready. I have reworked every single sound because ED introduced new tools for audio design with the upcoming Hornet. These are :
- volume range more advanced control (silent radius, max gain peak radius)
- basic Doppler effect control
- distance filter offset (I think it is sound priority at given radius setting, anyone know for sure?)
Sound creating tools are getting more and more powerful which is my dream coming true! Thank you ED, this is a step in the right direction!
What would be even better to make things almost perfect:
- more jet-specific sound slots (frontEngine1,2,3, aroundEngine1,2,3 etc) with more control
(volume and pitch dependency from speed and rpm setting) .
- sounders to know camera position (this one I know is coming:music_whistling: )
- more sounds!!!
Anyway, this is a preview:
Grab it here:
Thank you!!!!! Installed it immediately, will try it again in a few minutes.
You made the F-15 sound soooo much better!
-
Don't worry, Wags was kind enough to reach out to me and give me access to the press copy.
Great news! Your guides are essential for ADHD raddled brains like mine!
-
The issue with that is that the sounds are shared among all aircraft. There is not much that Hubson can do to remedy this if you want the jets to be loud and sound right. I really wish ED would omit certain aircraft like the props and the A10 from the distant jet sounds as their engines just dont fit with the fast movers.
Hubson, any idea when this is going to come out? I really want it and it sounds awesome.
I know, the A-10 sounds like it has powerful engines with this mod. :lol:
But you are right, wish ED would fix this.
Either way, I'm putting up with that "problem" because the sounds are awesome! That engine growling is and purring... Makes my joystick happy:joystick:
-
Just wanted to say, I love it! Keep up the good work!
Though, my only complaint is when we get jet sounds on turboprop UAVs hahaha :lol:

With the quality of your work I’m surprised you do not get early access for the F-18. I would’ve hoped your F-18 tutorial would be synonymous with release. That is how it benefits the new and existing DCS community.
I, wholeheartedly, completely, absolutely, totally agree with you! He needs it! Well, we need him to have it, so we can have his guide, therefore we also need it! :pilotfly:

This is highly not recommanded to edit manually something with OvGME, and you will understand why... The normal procedure is to create a new configuration with the new root folder, then deleting the old one.
If you have some backup (mods installed) while you switched drivers letter, then, you have a problem, so:
I - Identify and backup your old configuration subfolder
1 - Go to OvGME, select the configuration to modify, and copy-paste the root folder path to any text editor
2 - Close OvGME
3 - Go to this website https://www.md5.fr/ and convert this root path into MD5 Hash
4 - Go in the "ProgramData\OvGME" folder of your main Windows partition, you will see a folder named as the MD5 hash you got in the previous stage.
5 - Move this folder to another location for backup (outside the "ProgramData\OvGME" folder), so you can restore it if something goes wrong. (Do not only rename it with some "-old", this will generate bugs, the subfolder must disapear from "ProgramData\OvGME")
II - Create a new configuration structure
1 - Run OvGME and create a new configuration, with the new desired root path and the same folder and backup parameters as the previous one.
2 - Close OvGME
3 - In the "ProgramData\OvGME" you should see a new folder (with a new MD5 hash), this is your new configuration folder
4 - Copy all the content EXCEPT the "game.dat" file from your backup configuration subfolder to the new one.
III - End
You now ca reopen OvGME, you should see your configuration with the new root folder... and theorically, this is done, you can now use the configuration to restore backups etc...
Thank you sooooo much!!! :D It worked!
I had to do this because I wanted to avoid the reinstall dance for Prepar3D, since my DCS and other games are on Steam, this means I don't have to reinstall them manually. So, instead, I moved Prepar3D to the new HD, and moved the driver letter too.
-
I have a question, or possibly a suggestion.
I want to know if it is possible to change the address in "configuration root folder". I swapped drivers and the letter changed. Is there a file for me to edit manually? :joystick:
-
Subscribing!
Also, thank you for this! I'm slowly replacing JSGME from the other games to this one.

Apparently it's Steam that doesn't want anymore to "bother" with managing keys purchased from outside.
It's safer to assume that only what you bought on Steam will work within a DCS Steam installation.
Ah! Ok, thank you! :thumbup:
-
This is incomplete advice. I assume he means that he purchased DCS modules on steam. It is possible to transfer Steam modules to the standalone DCS, but not the other way around. If you want to stick with Steam, then do not buy modules from the ED Store. The Mirage will be available on Steam at a later date.
Thank you! I was looking for this answer. They should make it clearer in the modules page.
And what about the Razbam store? Would it possible to transfer it to Steam?

SERIAL NUMBER: 25403
Bought from Amazon.com
and received it yesterday

Should really state in topic line its a beta driver, I always run to these topics and find that out and feel cheated lol
Anyway will check it out once its in the stable release.
I... forgot! :music_whistling: When I went to try and edit it I realized I couldn't anymore. Sowwyyyy
Oh myyy... I feel ridiculously stupid now! I just needed to click in "Go Advanced" ...
Let's pretend this never happened!

I cant get it to work with NV inspector either. Do you have to set the options in NV inspector every tie you launch the game?
<drmagnumwolf> Can you post your NV inspector settings and any other tweaks you made to get it to work?
Just follow these instructions.

:)
Also, I was plying CA yesterday, and sadly, the ambient occlusion does make the gameplay a tad more difficult and does slow down.
Perhaps because of me being close to the ground and the graphics having to generate more shadows due to grass and other things.
-
Nice! I love this effect. My problem with it before though, was the way it flickered on and off. Does it still do this?
Yes, it still does. Maybe it is me, but I noticed it a lot less. It seems only to happen on certain angles and close to the ground. I haven't used AO a lot before this beta driver update, because of the overheating and FPS loss, so I can't really say if it really improved or is just me. Without AO HBAO+ I was getting 30 to 60 FPS, (100 if looking at the sky) and the FPS stayed the same, or I did not notice anything slowing it down. I have a GTX 480(Noisy and hot)
Here is a screenshot I got whilst it was flickering or changing...or something! (check shading lines on the left engine)

UPDATE 1:
It seems it is not "enabled" for DCS yet. You must enable it using the Nvidia Inspector
UPDATE 2:
It seems it improves performance on normal ambient occlusion usage, but if you enable "HIGH QUALITY" in Nvidia Inspector it will use HBAO+
Mental note: When taking screenshots, verify that you are not using HDR warm color or you will have to re do it again to post any screenies to compare with the old "ambient occlusion" trick... Back to DCS.
UPDATE 3:
Noticed no FPS loss with or without Ambient Occlusion on. In fact, before this driver, my card would overheat so much that it would shut down. So, if anyone is willing to give it a go, I suggest you do, the only downside I saw is this
I've got to say, with that enabled, and a few other options enabled in Nvidia Inspector(Lod bias for instance).. ED's art department is awesome! Cudos for the attention to detail! :thumbup:
few random screenies with Ambient Occlusion enabled at High Quality
I'm having some trouble in exporting the F-16's RWR to another monitor.
in DCS: F-16C Viper

That worked!!! Thank you!!!
Also, it may, or may have not been because I added a \displays\ folder into my RWR path on OVGME... :music_whistling: :music_whistling:
