Linux is growing. Win 11 is stagnant. The computer literacy of dcs players is way above the average. MY prediction is that most dcs servers would switch to linux the week it became available. Many DCS clients would switch as well to bypass the incessant crashes to desktop that the some of thirty year old code in DCS is likely responsible for. Alot of Eagle Dynamics' revenue requires putting out 'new shiny' - like airframes and maps (that are incomplete) and that is where they are putting their resources. They should consider a linux branch as 'insurance' for when windows gets pwned in a big way by chinese hacking wolfpacks. Security is on everyone's mind. Why do you think Alphabet spent 37 billion buying WIZ, a computer security firm for a multiple of its valuation?

What? You mean a G2 will now work with the latest Win 11 pro? -

to dothis i have to jump to cpg seat, change the TADS and then jump back to pilot seat I tried modifying the file C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Input\AH-64D_PLT\joystick\default.lua by adding these lines: -- TEDAC ------------------------------------- { down = tedac_commands.LHG_TADS_SENSOR_SELECT_SW_FLIR, cockpit_device_id = devices.TEDAC_INPUT, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Custom LHG TADS Sensor Select Switch - FLIR'), category = {_('Custom')}}, { down = tedac_commands.LHG_TADS_SENSOR_SELECT_SW_TV, cockpit_device_id = devices.TEDAC_INPUT, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Custom LHG TADS Sensor Select Switch - TV'), category = {_('Custom')}}, { down = tedac_commands.LHG_TADS_SENSOR_SELECT_SW_DVO, cockpit_device_id = devices.TEDAC_INPUT, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Custom LHG TADS Sensor Select Switch - DVO'), category = {_('Custom')}}, This results in the following control options appearing Unfortunately, it does not work. Anyone have any insight into how to make this work?

INITIALLY , I can switch between FXD and TADS. Turning on night vision and in PNVIS, I can still switch between FXD and TADS. You can tell I am in PNVIS mode because the night vision fluidly follows my head movement. If I change night vision to TADS, you can see the slight delay that night vision has in updating the image to follow my head position (as expected)ACQ cannot select TADS (as expected) However, if I then switch to PNVIS, in night vision, ACQ STILL CANNOT SELECT TADS. Night vision fluidly follows my head movement confirming my night vision is using the PNVIS To regain the ability to use TADS as an ACQ source when in PNVIS mode, I have to turn off night vision and turn it on again..track attached tads.trk

As a pilot, when i select pnvis in the night vision so that my ihadds is using it, i can no longer set acquisition source on the right mfd to tads. I used to be able to do this some updates ago. Note, i am not using tads in the ihadds and george ai interface is active. I cannot see what he is targeting as it (acq) remains fxd

wow. i need the controls indicator and then it works as you indicated.thank you

I was starting the JSOW training seesion and was trying to set barometric altitude hold. I could not get 'BALT' to get a colon. In the attached track, you see the relevant buttons being pressed. Also, 'CPL' never appears in the saved track although I did see it appear while in cockpit. What am I doing wroing that prevents BALT from getting a colon?

Here is a better track that shows the TMR changing with the aircraft AOA. Again at some point the SLAM goes from RDY to a crossed out condition for unknown reason. SLAM2.trk
-
In the attached track, I set up a SLAM with the LOW flight profile in TOO mode with the target at WPT 3. Watch the large circle change size just by changing the aircraft aspect. Is this expected? Also, the SLAM then becomes crossed out and the track in the HSI disappears . I reselect the target but SLAM remains crossed out. What am I doing wrong? SLAM.trk

look under axis controls for the apache. you should find one for brightness and another for video for each mpd. you need a device with two analog axis controls for each one. The total controls frames have these. or you can make your own. after binding these controls you will discover that turning the brightness knob changes the brightness of the mpd the game renders on your main display device. turning the video control changes the brightness of the exported mpd on your secondary display device.
-
I found that the brightness control axis affects the mfd in game and the video control axis affects the brightness of my little panel. This way i can adjust both to parity

I am trying to move the controls indicator by modifying Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator\ControlsIndicator_page.lua it's pretty much trial and error because i dont know what to modify-I've narrowed it down to this bit --default base.init_pos = {0,-(1 - 2.0*size_x)} base.controllers = {{"show"},{"screenspace_position",2,-(aspect - 2.0*size_x),0}, {"screenspace_position",1,0,0}} but when I change the base initpos to base.init_pos = {0,-(1 - 1*size_x)} I do not get a change in its Y position. I need to raise the controls indicator about 800 pixels. The default placement puts the indicator in the left DDI (screen 3 in pic below which is 768 x 1024) and I want to move it to the bottom left of screen 2.( which is 3840 x 1600) Being able to read out the real time value of variables in game would help. Is there such a tool?

Make your curves look like parabolas except for pitch- make that one flatter on the left limb -
somehow all my comments were deleted. Voice attack allows moving the kneeboard to whereever you want. It jusr requires knowing where you are on the screen. I used this utility to help out https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpos/
