Well, it looks like my DCS BIOS library from Skunkworks got corrupted in my project... After rebuilding everything from scratch it works fine. I still get random characters briefly displayed on the very first data received, but I cannot complain. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, I can now complet my deskpit

My bad, I forgot to mention that I'm using PlatformIO, DCSBIOS_DEFAULT_SERIAL is already declared in my .ini file. You were right about the serial statements, they block communication, thank you! Although I'm now facing another problem, it's as if the received data is wrong most of the time. The lines are trunked and random characters are displayed. Please see video. Any ideas please?

Hello, thank you for this awesome project. I'm having issues with my ESP32 and DCS BIOS (which with I'm new) : no data from DCS are being displayed. I can print a splash screen during setup but nothing more than that - It's like nothing gets interpreted. My DCS-BIOS console shows good communication both from DCS itself and from my ESP32 (using a serial print as a debug). Here is the code I'm using : // #define V_SPI_D 23 // #define V_SPI_CLK 18 #define V_SPI_CS0 5 #define SPI_DC 27 #define SPI_RESET 26 #define DEBUG #define DCSBIOS_DISABLE_SERVO #include <DcsBios.h>

I've tried 3 different time, and every single time my wingman calls no joy. It looks like even though we hit the trucks, the last truck gets destroyed only after whatever damage check is done script wise. I had to replay the mission a 4th time and let my wingman do the initial run.

Hey, Following a DIY project for a monstertech style chair mount, I have some adapters left over. I ordered the 3D printed parts directly from them but had to buy more unit than needed to make shipping worth it. Sourcing the missing parts of the kit on my own turned out to be cheaper : - Tightening levers - Star knobs - Axial ball bearings - Washers Mounting is not strictly the same as theirs, but it works flawlessly. Here is the 3D printed adapter plate along with the inlet and one of the two ball bearings needed : Here is the whole kit along with the sourced parts : Here is the kit mounted on the chair mount plate : I've got 6 3D printed adapter available, enough for 3 stick+throttle set. I'm asking either for : - 15EUR/unit for the 3D printed adapter alone (or 25EUR for a set) - 20EUR/unit for a whole kit (or 35EUR for a set) (Based in EU, shipping not included) Keep in mind that I don't currently own all the tightening handles, I would have to order them before shipping. Expect a 3weeks delay. Otherwise, I'm open to give away the specs of the missing parts so you can source them for yourself (~5EUR/unit). Cheers.

I would be interested in the broken warthog base, not for the gimbal but for the casing - Price has to be attractive. Located in EU so shipping has to be calculated.

Have you guys heard back from rel4y? I've sent him an email and a PM regarding his FCC as one the axes of my VFS-WE died, but haven't had any response yet.

I've got an issue with the Cougar I just bought. Stick pots are hitting their maximum value before the maximum physical mouvement, if it makes sense. During calibration in CCP, here are the raw values I'm getting : Y axis : Neutral -> 387 - Forward -> 151 - Back -> 648 (so max value) about 60-70% of the course X axis : Neutral -> 418 - Left -> 124 - Right -> 648 (so max value) about 90% of the course Once in the analyser, I can see that the sensitivity is increased when pulling back or right. Are those dead pots? I'm thinking of a software/calibration issue but I could be wrong. Thanks!

I'm bumping up this thread. I'm looking to replace the ANT rotary, I can't find it anywhere and TM has stopped supplying it. Anybody? Thanks.

Great work Baltic_Dragon! I've spotted one mistake though, probably from a copy/past, on the V/UHF and UHF radio panel overview : Those operation modes concerns the Knob #11 V/UHF Rx Mode Selector. The right modes are, as explained, AR, M, FI, H. Keep it up bud!

Oh well, I must have missed it in the manual.. Its working great! Thank you!

Hey, First of all, I'm fairly new with the mirage, so I might be doing something wrong. The thing is, I can't select any waypoint as bullseye on my radar. All I've got is 00 which is my current position. I've try to select the waypoint, on the PCN, as PREP and DEST, but I still have my current position selected on the radar. Is there a switch that I am missing? Or Is this just a bug? Thank y'all!

Same here! I cant wait to get it on Steam!

All right.. I redownloaded my game and checked the game integrity. As I had restart my computer right before launching the game, I had no software at all running. Surprise my key work again! It seems that FRAPS was the problem.. But the F8 key is absolutly not assigned on it.. I dont understand and I feel stupid now xD Anyways, Thanks a lot to you guys for your help! Much appreciated!! Btw, thanks for the mission test Roadrunner, just to let you know that my F8 keys doesnt work in communication menu at all while FRAPS is running..

@BIGNEWY : Sure, here it is :) @Roadrunner : Yep, my key work proprely and it change my view :) DxDiag.txt

@BIGNEWY : Well, I tried to delete the Input file but unfortunately it doesnt fix my problem :( @Kenan : It definitely not come from my TrackIR. I checked the profile in game, and its still mine. I tested to launch DCS without TrackIR software, and same problem, my F8 key doesnt work.. Im about to give up.. I will try to unstall my game once again ^^

Thanks you for all ur help guys! @BIGNEWY : Yes I know. I can still ask for rearming. But impossibl to ask for reparing :/ @Roadrunner : So, I tried with the TF-51D, Su-25 and all FC3 aircraft. My F8 key doesnt work at all in all planes... @Wolf Rider & Looney : When openning the communication menu, you use F1,F2,F3.. to choose between ATC, Wingman, AWACS and Ground Crew. You dont have to bind keys for that. @Kenan : I cannot open the menu to ask for reparing/rearming/Ground Power so they can't do their job if I dont ask them. Thanks a lot and sorry for my english one more time guys!!

Thanks for ur answers guys! F8 is not assigned on TrackIR anymore, I changed it years ago. My F8 key doesnt work in single mission AND multiplayer. I'm flying MiG-21 so there is no switch to set for talking at Ground Crew, maybe except the radio channel's switch. This is simple, the communication menu (Rearming/Repairing/Ground Power) doesnt show up at all when I press F8. I dont know how a track file could help you but I uploaded one on Mega cause it is too big to for an attached file (https://mega.co.nz/#!MJ9zXaQZ!SHlznNaYcTr0bWhdduFprFkjY8AfiVZh8pZ1tBtpuU0). I broke voluntary my gear on landing in case I can talk to them.

Hello guys! I have a problem since approximalty 1week, I cannot talk to Ground Crew anymore.. When I try to talk communicate with them, my F8 key doesnt work at all. Otherwise, my key work proprely, I can assign it in my options and it work well to change view. It is not assigned to my TrackIR or any others softwares.. I can still ask for rearming with the key "." but I cannot ask for reparing :/ So that's kind of annoying.. I use Steam and I tried to delete and reinstall the game, but it didn't fix it.. If someone could help me pls.. Thank you very much and sorry for my english!
