I am working with a friend and designed a breakout board to work with the X-Keys IO card. It will have 128 2 pin connectors. So all you will have to do is plug the two cards together and then wire the switches to the brake out board.
How many of you guys would be interested in buying one from me. It will come as a DIY or you can have me assemble it for you for a little more cash. I am estimating the price around $40 with all the parts needed to assemble it. You will pay the shipping cost. I don’t have a set price yet as I am still looking in to the cost import shipping of parts. this is a 3d look at the boar with out connectors or the diode's

DCS is all about your CPU and not so much about the GPU. Airdog is runing A-10C with a 460 128bit card not the 256 bit 1gb card. and he is on high setings. Now my setup is way behind the times for gaming and the 465 1gb is the primary card I am after along with a 460 1gb as a second card to run my extra screans.
Theas are a how to build and use a basic Helios profile.

This is a known issue. The water you are seeing is the base water that covers the whole map befor land is placed on top of it. This is one of the bad parts of the lomac and DCS sims that people complain about. You are rendering all that water even if you are not seeing it FPS killer. I cant tell you how many times I have hit the lakes water due to the look of the watter.
Just a little problem for the ground crew to fix. Brought this babe home 25 miles and landed it, bairly. I used the speed brake a little to help with the trim :megalol: it realy helped. was stalling at 190Kts and roling over.:pilotfly:
The best way to do it is in the SST program. Do a banded set up 10% 80% 10% the top and botom 10% will be the key commands for zoom in/out. The middle 80% blank. I have found this to be the best setup and the slider tends to do the gitter bug a bit.
I would like to see the FB-111, Keep in mine there are sevral versions of the F-111 and all can't be moddeld. My dad flew the FB-111 that is why I want that one my self. I would like to build a pit for him as a suprise.
The 1.02 patch needed to be instaled over a clean install of 1.0. So if you had any mods you would get the errors. Also the 1.02 instll would have reset all your in game setings. So basicly you are starting all over. Make sure you are using notepad++ to edit the lua. files. now that you have the the displays up you just need to do a full reinstall of BS 1.0 first then the 1.02 patch with out making any changes to the v1.0 You have to get the errors fixed and a reinstall is the only sure fire way to do it. Save a copy of your lua. file som where as a refrance and creat a new one after the reinstall.
I am glad we are getting closer to your goal. It is all worth it.
Walker is right. Don't change any seting in windows befor starting the game.
Make sure you select the file in options for the setting and select the total resalution for the two monitors I belive you have 2930.
PS: pleas grab a SS of your options page and your windows screen setup page
