    Hi, don't know if I'm the only one finding this geeking around fun, below are what files are changed from 1.2.3.9871 to 1.2.3.10201 (all public available modules installed). I removed all lines that concerned files tagged with SAME and sorted them in the below 7 categories - everything hidden for the faint of heart ;-)

    DCS 1.2.3 & TARS 1.0.2b2 (+Helios)

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    I've need help.... we've install (my squadron 69Squadrone) the DCS 123 and the latest TARS (102b3) whit TS 3.0.0.9.

    But the TARS dont work... maybe we've miss any step... i dont understand.

    This new TARS point the string into this folders:

    C:\Users\pincopallino\Saved Games\DCS

    the old TARS (for A10 only) point the string in the game folders.

    If i try to point the game folders (with this new TARS) say me that dont have the config.lua valid.

    I can make new one (maybe i think work) but i dont understand why i've need to do this step manually if thenew TARS it's programmed for work in DCS WORLD ?????

    any help?

    thank you

     

    Maybe the steps of this linked post and some further posts could help - and remember to enable the TARS plugin in teamspeak (often forgotten). Further TARS will not show as running in teamspeak before radios are powered on in a multiplayer game and you update the view in teamspeak.

     

    Further - check that standby is not checked in the TARS-control panel. Everytime you change your TARS-settings in the TARS control panel you have to restart DCS Multiplayer and reload the teamspeak plugin or restart teamspeak.

    You "could" use them that way if you like. Indeed, it's how many who are new to TARS do use them. But as I and others have said many times, why would you. Makes it kind of difficult to communicate with multiple agencies on multiple radios does it not?

     

    All you're doing is adding an extra, unnecessary, key-press to the process.

     

    That you are right about. Thanks for the clarification!

    The TARS keys are individual PTTs for each radio, when using TARS, ignore your normal TS PTT assignment. While your normal TS PTT will work, why would you use it, it kind of defeats the point of TARS somewhat?

     

    Personally, I have my Warthog comm switch FWD/DN/AFT assigned as PTTs in TARS for use when flying, and comm switch press assigned in TS for use when not.

     

    No, as I understand it they are not PTT's. Check out the description from the TARS communications page:

     

    Hitting the radio key combination selects that radio and causes it to transmit when next you key your Teamspeak 3 push-to-talk (or voice activation)

    I cant seem to find an idiots guide on how to use it though, from installation to actually getting it working in-game.

     

    The last time I tried my PTT key did not work in TS3, and found the original FAQ's confusing.

     

    If anyoine would like to help answer a few of my questions, I would be very, very grateful.

     

    It is kinda straightforward - be sure that DCS and TS is not running.

    • Install TARS.
    • Configure TARS (check the install TARS and make sure that standby is not checked).
    • Configure TARS keys: used to select which radio you are talking though, (still push-to-talk is can be used, but) the three TARS keys also work as push-to-talk keys.
    • Start up DCS multiplayergame and teamspeak.
    • Enable TARS plugin in teamspeak.
    • When you are ingame and have powered on your radios alt-tab back to teamspeak and check if TARS is running (detailed: click your username - you might have to click something-else and then your own nick to update it - it should show on the right pane in teamspeak)

     

    Then you should be able to speak to the other planes on the same radio channel in-game - and not anyone not running TARS on the teamspeak channel.

    It looks really nice!

     

    Can you showcase flying close to planetary bodies and maybe how to deal with effects of gravitational pull? Another thing is that flybys of all kinds at high speed near buildings, landscapes/ other is always exciting to see (if you count YT-videos).

    Dcs World 1.2.3 and the missing export.lua

    in DCS World 1.x (read only)

    Posted · Edited by tietze

    Speak through translator and do not understand everything. Why I have no "Remove Helios Setup"?

     

    HELIOS does not work out of the box with DCS 1.2.3.9871.

     

    Download: HELIOS scripts.zip. The HELIOS export-script is made by Loophole - give him the apropriate credits!

     

    Place the two files (Export.lua and HELIOS.lua) into: Saved Games\DCS\Scripts

     

    The install button will not work, but there is no need, because your HELIOS profiles will work when running DCS with those scripts in place.

     

    [edit: above scripts work for both A-10C and KA-50 :-)]

    World BS english RICARDO HD Blue pit

    Posted · Edited by tietze

    what shoud be the manual changes to do to make this mod work.

     

    1. Download: Ricardos KA-50Textures.zip.
    2. Copy it here: DCS world/Mods/Aircraft/Ka-50/cockpit/Resources/Model/Textures/Cockpit/
    3. Rename the english folder for the normal cockpit to something else, it is located here: DCS World/Mods/aircrafts/Ka-50/Liveries/Cockpit_Ka-50
    4. Create a new english folder.
    5. Drop devrims description.lua in there.
    6. Eventually install the compass fix by Devrim. It should replace "Ka-50 inscripts.dds" inside the zipfile downloaded in step 1.

     

    It is really simple to make a JSGME-package that just does all this with a 1-click install (and I have done so for personal use). But I have no idea if the authors will be ok with re-releasing this repackaging of their mod.

    I appreciate the work you are putting into this.

     

    Concerning TARS only with files in the Saved Games/DCS dir seems to be a really good idea, cleaning things up (and hopefully making things easier to coordinate with other mods/export scripts).

     

    I was just noticing when TARS finds no export.lua, that it creates an export.lua beginning with the following code. Just of interest, what does it do or what is it for?

     

    -- This is an export stub generated by the TARS Control Panel.
-- The old Export file is now located in $DCSINSTALLDIR/Scripts/Export.lua

local default_output_file = nil

function LuaExportStart()
end

function LuaExportBeforeNextFrame()
end

function LuaExportAfterNextFrame()
end

function LuaExportStop()
if default_output_file then
	default_output_file:close()
	default_output_file = nil
end
end

function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t)
local tNext = t
return tNext
end

    Poor FPS in multiplayer. Why?

    The only limitation of these tools is big re-load time. Every start of game, full installation of DCS folder would have had to be transfered from HDD to RAM disk. Typical transfer is between 20-30 MB... so it'd take long time.

     

    If the ramdisk is working correctly and depending on your harddisk you should probably see speeds around 100mb pr/second.
