Snacko

Used Vaicom for the first time in a while today.. I noticed a bunch of messages in the VoiceAttack log window from the game.. Like "A10c Pull Up" over and over again.. and others. What is that and how do I turn it off? I'm not looking at VoiceAttack for information like that. Thanks.

So how many buttons does a rotary encoder have? Just 2? Up/down? On/off? Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

What is the difference between a potentiometer and a rotary encoder? As far as how it is normally used?

If it doesn't work don't use it. I have found KBB a very useful tool. But it's also finicky, and I have less headaches if I just use the basic features that work. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Thanks, yes, I've been using Ovgme for a long time. And you are probably right that Ed won't ever support mods in general. But I think if they ever sat down and reviewed the plethora of object content out there, the huge value it adds for free, and the workload it off loads to users, they might consider it someday? Set some standards and rules to help it be organized. Oh well, I'm probably dreaming..

It would really be cool if ED would have a built-in Mod Manager for certain types of mods, like all these objects. Like other games have that allow you to install/enable mods in the options. And have a repository for them. Like many have pointed out, these types of mods(objects) can break missions, but also add a lot of realism and immersion to the game. It would make the game better and remove the workload of creating these objects from ED. Yea, it's one more thing they have to do... But it would add 10x to the realisim and end user experience. Just my 2¢

I've been trying to change the zoom out(x) value for the A-10c as well, so my triple screens won't zoom out so far. But no luck!.. The only value that I changed in the Server.lua was the x/back(aft) value. The default was -0,050000. I tried -0.02000 and 0.200000, but neither had any effect at all. And after googliing for limits_6dof for the A-10c I found nothing to help. And I don't see a view.lua in the mods/aircraft/A-10c folder. So, I don't know where else it is getting it's limits for 6dof? I also searched the dcs.log for the server.lua and it was loaded ok, with no errors. So it's not a typo. The A-10c is an older module, so maybe it works differently? :cry: These changes to the Server.lua have no effect: limits_6DOF = {x = {[b][color="Red"]0.200000[/color][/b],0.600000}, y = {-0.300000,0.100000}, z = {-0.250000,0.250000}, roll = 90.000000}}), -- ORIGINAL limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.050000,0.600000}, -- y = {-0.300000,0.100000}, -- z = {-0.250000,0.250000}, -- roll = 90.000000}}), -- -- WHERE: x = back to front (aft-forward axis), y = top to bottom (vertical axis), z = side to side -- INSTRUCTIONS HERE: [url]https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Cockpit_Views[/url]

Thanks. I'll backup my config/input folder and check this out. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

You can assign each button/hat directly in the game. OR assign the keyboard commands to the button in the Saitek Profiler software. One way or the other. Not both. FYI, if you have a Saitek profile loaded to the Hotas with a keyboard command assigned to a button, then that button will not be seen or recognised in game if you try to assign it to a command. Basically you need to know which buttons in a Saitek profile have key commands and which don't. I have buttons for teamspeak/discord with key commands. And other buttons are blank in the profile so I can assign them in game.

In the update today: DCS World VKB Gunfighter Pro joystick customized profiles added for A-10C, F-5E, F-16, F-18, Ka-50, MiG-15. How exactly do you view these customized profiles?

I would say probably yes. Check the Min requirements here... With the Min requirements you will get min fps. That's about 20-30 I'd say. And DCS is Graphics Card heavily dependent. It needs a good one. I would start with a better card and that would help a lot.

"Some easy way to show mapped buttons? ". In the Settings / Controls, click in the column of your controller to select it. Any cell is fine. Then when you press it button it will jump to the assigned command. Is that what you want? It was not really clear.. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

From the video it doesn't look like the nVidia Reshade lets you tweak each settings variables. Reshade works in DCS now just fine, so I don't see the need for using nVidia's driver to do it yet. I made a jsgme/ovgme mod to enable/disable Reshade so I don't lose it during updates. And I have it point to a common folder for the shaders and profiles so I can use them in both Stable and OBeta.

Rog!! Thanks.

If you have 'Dust Smoke Enabled' checked in the Mission Editor Weather page, and Smoke Effect objects in the mission... Then the Dust layer erases the Smoke in your view, and you can see right through smoke columns.

Thanks Greyman! My Chatter is the only one that is the current version. Where is this 'Updates' subfolder and update.cmd file supposed to be? :dunno: EDIT: Never mind, I downloaded and installed them manually. Wonder though, why they would download and update from within VoiceAttack, but not work..

I just ran VAICOM Pro after about 2.5 months of not using it. VA asked me to update it, and I did, Then VAICOM Pro, then Chatter, then the RIO plugin also asked me to update also.. I said yes and updated each one, restarting it after each one. But every time I start VoiceAttack,.. VAICOM Pro, Chatter, and RIO plugins all keep asking for the update. I know that I updated them all. How do I check which versions of them that I have installed? How do I fix this?

I'm not sure if this makes sense in the long-term plan for DCS World.. but, I think simply making the Mission Briefing Images allow for display of a Webpage plugin/widget would allow users to make much more immersive briefing. It would allow for all kinds of interactive and video content like in a real pilot briefing room. In addition to the static text and images; Webpages allow for display of videos, flash, pdfs, gifs, and other forms of interactive content.

I've been playing since Lomac first came out. I vividly remember seeing the ads and previews and waiting for the day that I could buy it. I thought I would disagree with most of what was said in that video, but after I watched it I have to agree with much of it. Personally, I am bored with playing missions and online because I don't get the immersion factor. DCS World seems to me more of a 'Trainer' than anything else. I can learn procedures on certain aircraft, but after that, it's up to the community to make it 'fun', and that's not how it should be. I think a Dynamic Campaign would definitely help that. And some video or interactive Mission Brief. I would also like to see other improvements with the weather, ATC/Comms and other things mentioned, but to get excited again I need the immersion.

So the way you describe it, the Overlay window will be attached to your controller? And always visible? If so I don't think I would like that. I don't even want to use my Hand Controllers at all. I don't use VR in DCS much because I can't see my related documents. And putting them all in the Checklist is not a great option. I wish that OVR Toolkit would work, and then I might also be interested in those Point Controllers that attached to your fingers maybe. PS: Can you run DCS in Compatability Mode for Windows 7? Curtis said this was the fix for Elite Dangerous. When I do this DCS crashes immediately. It would be nice to know if it works on other systems..

If you want something with a hook, I would recommend the FA-18c which is a full clickable cockpit, or Su33, which is not a clickable cockpit and easier to learn. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

PS: I made a Poll to see if there is enough interest in this to get the developers willing to make something work. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=252256

For Non-Steam DCS World users only: How Interested are you in have a VR Overlay tool that works in native DCS(non-Steam): I've been trying several tools to let me place Overlays in DCS and work well. I wanted to place my HOTAS Layout; Radar & Weapon Types Cheetsheets; and other things.. Yesterday, I just used Oculus Windows, OVR Toolkit(SteamVR), and HelloV. I could only get Oculus Windows to appear, but they stay visible all the time, and are in your line of view. OVR Toolkit was the best one I tried. But it would not work in DCS(nonsteam). I liked that I could make the windows invisible until I leaned closer to them, then they appeared. I think these developers would be more interested in working on making this work if they new there was a demand(aka Sales) out there. So, in leu of that, I would like to post a poll.

I just chatted with Curtis yesterday, and doesn't seem to have any plans for this. He did try and help me to get it working, but nothing worked. He said that Oculus does not support Overlays in their API(or something like that). And he wasn't too excited about having to setup his Rift and non-Steam DCS to work on this. I think he would be more motivated if he know he knew there was a demand(sales) for it. I wonder how many DCS VR users(non-steam) would be interested in it?

I have an Oculus Rift, and I just tried out OVR Toolkit and HelloV. OVR Toolkit works great but not in DCS(non-steam version). The Developer said I should try running DCS in Win7 mode, but it won't run in Win7. So I couldn't get it to work. I then tried HelloV. I had it working about a year ago. But couldn't get it to display a .png or .jpg. I tried it again today and it won't display the Circle(main menu button) at all when I tap my head. RedKite has a video of using it, but I couldn't get it to work. Does anyone have any other tools or suggestions? I loved OVR Toolkit because you can make the windows to be invisible until you lean closer to them, then they appear. That was very handy!!
