If you have BS1 and not the BS1-to-BS2 upgrade, then yes you either buy the BS2 or continue play with BS1 as-is.

Checklist reading and Crew Procedures
Holton181 replied to Holton181's topic in DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight
I guess he has. Thanks a lot! -
As it happens... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3779413 It might not be exactly what you asking for, but if you have an app on your iPad that can receive NMEA information and feed the iPads own GPS with it, overriding real positioning, you have what you're asking for. I'm not an Apple person and have no idea if this is possible on Apple products.

Thanks. Is it an official statement, do you know? It's a pity quite a lot information given by developers are only available on the Russian forum, seldom passed over to us here (thanks for doing it this time sLYFa). I suspect some info are exclusively given here in the English forum too, but not close as much. One may say whatever about it, but English is somewhat the international language when it comes to these things, no matter how many having another native language. Quite a lot more Russians speak/read English, while not so many outside Russia speak/read Russian. Just to make clear, I'm not an native English speaker either. -

This I hope did the trick! Thanks. I did not take care of how LoGetSelfData was handled when returning nil, like when playing as "client" instead of as "player". I am an exclusive SP player and didn't face this problem during the last part of development (did however face it long ago but didn't remember it). Please download v1.1 and try again.

I have done some more testing in Nevada and Normandy. In Nevada the game and reality correlate almost perfectly, more or less spot on for all outer most airdromes. Normandy was a bit tricky due to being a -44 map, but using pronounced land features like docks and some characteristic buildings, the correlation is within 50m (165ft), often less. I don't own PG so I can't test it, for anyone getting this MOD to work and owning the PG please feel free to test the correlation for some locations close to the outer edges of the detailed area and report below.

You say you have OB, but your path in the Export.lua i /DCS/. Is that correct? you don't have /DCS.openbeta/? Can you please provide your entire DCS_NMEA.lua, thanks. Have you tried the file writing part? Starting at line 71, 216 and 252, check path on line 73. Try it an see if you get anything in it just to rule it out.

Correct, the Huey and Shark doesn't have a flashlight. Later modules like the Mi-8 got them. But use this MOD and you also get som additional functionalities: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3677812

And I have given you an answer there too now. But for others, yes I believe it would work for any maping tool on any iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Mobile e.t.c. As long as you have an app to receive the information and feed it to the GPS, overriding real positioning. I actually haven't tested it thoroughly on Nevada and Normandy (I don't own PG). I fly mainly helicopters myself, and unfortunately I believe it's to rough to be really usable. I started this project long ago but didn't put it in a shareable state until now. And I actually haven't start using it much myself yet. But try it out and make up your own mind. Please share your experience here. I would be happy to see whether anyone find it useful or not.

LUA Problem with Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port
Holton181 replied to Holton181's topic in DCS Modding
Ah, now I saw what Foreflight is. Yes it would work, I have a similar app called Fly-is-Fun and it works. -
LUA Problem with Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port
Holton181 replied to Holton181's topic in DCS Modding
I haven't tried with Foreflight, or any application on the same PC for that matter. But I guess it could be done. Will try it out. I have used my Android phone as receiver and any maping app on that, both with UDP and Bluetooth virtual serial port. -
!!! CURRENT VERSION IS 1.4 !!! ~~~~~ NOW WITH AHRS SUPPORT!!! ~~~~~ That means native suport for: ForeFlight SkyDemon WingX Pro FltPlan Go and possibly may more! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi there, For anyone interested I put together a script to export GPS NMEA or AHRS sentences to be used with any application or device capable of using them. UDP or Serial Port export is available. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303310/ In Nevada the game and reality correlate almost perfectly, more or less spot on for all outer most airdromes. Normandy was a bit tricky due to being a -44 map, but using pronounced land features like docks and some characteristic buildings, the correlation is within 50m (165ft), often less. I now own PG and have tested it a bit but not extensively, it looks good so far. Not very correct positioning on real world maps for Caucasus though. If I ever find good DCS to Real world coordinate converting formulas for Caucasus I might update this with it. Another possibility is that the airdromes I have tested with isn't placed 100% correctly in DCS Caucasus relative real world, but nothing I can know for sure. ************** A little Heads up! ************* If you use SRS (DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone), make sure the line in Export.lua related to SRS comes AFTER the one for DCS-to-GPS. It won't work otherwise. Thanks to Drakoz for this solution (post #71). Have been verified by myself. ***************************************** Here is an excellent tutorial video by Roman_Actual (aka "Basic to Final" @ YT) (in the video both NMEA and AHRS over UDP are activated. For ForeFlight and similar applications handling AHRS, only the AHRS over UDP is needed. The NMEA is used for real GPS devises or spoofing the GPS on a phone/tablet. The NMEA over serial port (COM) is the same as for over UDP, just another protocol option) An example of ILS approach with ForeFlight, using DCS-to-GPS, same creator as above Thanks Roman_Actual for these excellent videos! Have fun! /H

LUA Export NMEA AHRS & GPS over TCP/IP

Didn't mean to offend you. Just found it and thought to post it since the question arise. You are fully credited on that download. Regarding the mouse, it's no actual issues with the trainer you posted what I can see, just the behavior at the frame.

Here it is: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/147/ That filer is four days younger (last edited date), slightly bigger and the mouse cursor isn't disappearing while located on the flash player frame as with the one Snacko posted above. So I guess its the most resent one.

They are pretty impressive! Engines, a cockpit and some rotors, what more can one which for? [emoji6] Actually I didn't know about the hoist operator in the back. -
Correct

I'm on tapatalk, don't see any signatures. Sorry for that. Googled a bit for TM HOTAS Warthog and it seems to have excellent 16bit resolution. So not the problem. It has Hall sensors, so noise and worn sensors goes out the window. Can't tell about centering, but I trust you it's not the issue. The only thing I can think of is that I don't look at bank angles per se, but on input values from the stick (DXTweak). I make sure they are as small as possible (300 out of 65536) after I first stabilize. Do you have an extension? As I said earlier I have a basically full length helicopter cyclic (without centering spring but with friction to hold it in place), much easier for tiny stick deflections, and I basically only tapp lightly on it to get the 300 input, can't realy see it on the stick or on the controller helper (RCtrl+Enter). If you don't already have it, or something similar, I recommend you search for a copy of DXTweak try it out. I have never made a gaming video and have no such software for it, sorry.
