What Goes Up

Just Googled A10 Tank Killer, you maybe right with the description relic Bravo Yankee4. Ive just got to Google what an Amiga is now :smilewink:

G'day Ian Right I understand now. I will download DCS world, thanks for the link, im really behind the times arnt I ! Haha talking about relics, I still have A10 Cuba somewhere at home. It was thinking about this great old game that got me into looking for better A10 sims and hence finding DCS all those years ago. I carnt wait to have a go at multilayer, I have never had a good enough Internet connection until now. Thanks for your help.

G'day Ian A real pleasure to talk with you. I have un-installed A10 DCS and DCS Bios folders and started with a brand new install of DCS A10 and then DCS Bios. Still nothing. I follow the process as set out in instructions, I download DCS BIOS V0.50 zip and extracted it. The first stumbling block is when I copy %userprofile%\saved games\DCS, windows cannot find that. On my PC it ends "DCS Warthog", but it has the same data such as mission and logs folders. I then make a script folder and copy the extracted Script contents along with the Export lua. I have skipped the Arduino part ( think thats all ok) and installed Control Reference Live as per the Youtube video. But alas nothing updates, even after an F5 refresh with DCS running un-paused. In answer to you question: nothing else is using Export lua. I assume I have version 1.5 as I dont have openalpha. Errors in log file.... just a few, see below: 00012.592 ERROR WRADIO: "NDB" beacon is on the water! 00012.908 WARNING LOG: 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 00012.947 ERROR WRADIO: "NDB" beacon is on the water! 00014.417 ERROR GRAPHICSXP: ModelManager: can't find LAP-CABLES 00016.963 ERROR COCKPITBASE: Cockpit::avDevice::link_all: unable to find link variable 'TGPinterface' for device 'MAIN_PANEL' 00016.963 ERROR COCKPITBASE: Cockpit::avDevice::link_all: unable to find link variable 'padlock' for device 'MAIN_PANEL' 00016.963 ERROR COCKPITBASE: Cockpit::avDevice::link_all: unable to find link variable 'betty' for device 'AAR47' 00019.369 ERROR COCKPITBASE: Cockpit: Clickable - Wrong connector name EW-LGT-R1 00023.412 ERROR DXRENDERER: DXDefTexture: failed to load white.png.

Any ideas?

G'day Bravo Yankee4. Thats the conclusion i have come to. Yet i have followed the instructions to the letter. Would it make any difference that the sim is on a different harddrive to that of where the export lua file is?

Bios Setup Help Appriacted G'day Im new to this forum, and should really be introducing myself rather than begging for help, but I have not been able to get DCS BIOS to work and I would really appropriate some help. (I hope this is the right place to ask) The story so far... I have downloaded the DCS BIOS and installed/ set it up as per the instructions. The Arduino side of things appears to be working fine in that I can upload a sketch to the board, but it is not communicating with the sim. The problem I think is that I am not getting any Bios output from A10C. I have used both the connect to serial program and the direct Control Reference. From the comments I have found on this forum I have even checked that no antivirus software is stopping it from working. I have even tried previous versions of DCS BIOS, but still nothing works. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me?
