I was going to ask where it exports the diagrams to...but then I read the info box Export Started No Template for: VKB-Sim Gunfighter Modern Combat Pro Twist No Template for: Joystick (Razer Tartarus V2) No Template for: Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals No Template for: Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller (root) No Template for: WINWING F18 STARTUP PANEL No Template for: WINWING THROTTLE BASE1 + F18 HANDLE So I guess I am out of luck. Seems like a good start but also need modifiers mapped.

i didnt know the super taurus allowed 'layers' .... like the Thrustmaster T16000M where a button could be a assigned a 'shift function' and have a whole different set of key bindings to the buttons. Where/how can this be done?

normal behavior for motherboards that continue to provide power to usb ports (for phone charging,etc)

Many of you have mounted pedals onto plywood to keep them from moving around. Others have used string or cables that tether the pedals to the chair. I started out this way but ultimately spent $10 for some hardware to fix the pedals to my chair so that the distance is fixed. Here are some pics. I couldnt stand the flimsiness so I got a piece of metal from Home depot and some bolts. The final product still looks kind of industrial but it works. It's adjustable. It holds the pedals at fixed distance and it makes even cheap ones like the Saiteks I have to work better. Now... to put some nyogel on those pedals...

I had this when I used the twcs throttle without the software. It also happened when I used the software and left the key press to ‘pulse’ instead of ‘hold’. I think the default is for the throttle to emit pulses- this will never allow long keypresses.

the a10c][ only shows up in the beta.

wow...I just found that X-plane has it https://www.thresholdx.net/news/asdu35 https://www.thresholdx.net/news/f35bv2

does winwing cause stutters?

Are either of these going to be modeled?

this could be solved if ED made the HMCS position influenced by TrackIR. As I turn my head to the right, I'd like the HMCS to slew to the right edge of the screen.

@ GMAN109 How did you get 4 nvidia 3000 series cards?

@CaptMike thank you for this timely contribution.

I recently got the TWCS and have a little difficulty using the coolie hat to issue long commands for the A10c. Although I can cycle the MFDs with coolie short flicks of the hat, no matter how long I hold the hat, I cannot make an MFD SOI. I am not running the thrustmaster config software , just the drivers. The throttle is recognized by windows and all the axes and buttons register on the game controller control panel. The TWCS is also recognized by DCS.

AMD cpus respond differently than intel to ram timings. Which cpu do you have?

i have trouble with long presses-they dont register. so coolie left long for example does not make the left mfcd soi.

What is the flow of evaluation? In other words, is this a multithreaded event loop? Are the setting of flags, the checking of flags and the execution of actions all happening concurrently? Or are they happening sequentially? How often are trigger conditions checked?

Thank you. Yes there are numerous videos on ytube about the mechanics of navigation, targetting, and weapon deployment. But the 'why do it this way and not that way' is what I lack. I do get some of that as snippets in ralfidude's, Wag's, Bunyap's, Redkite's, GrimReaper's, and others' videos. But I guess it's hard to make a video only about tactical choices, and then to make short and clear enough so people don't get overwhelmed. I can just imagine someone like Wag's rattling off 5 different ways to approach a column and considering the pros and cons of each way, given his loadout. By the time he gets to the AO, I'd have spaghetti code in my brain. The HOTAS mission ziptie linked is also useful. Initially, the Hotas felt like it was designed by Hans Giger, but I've gotten familiar with it by making out a few sequences of two or three commands to use. Now when I approach a target, I dont freeze. Rather than the avalanche of alphabet soup from the manual pouring over me, I see one or two tools to use. Like picking up a wrench or a ratchet, there are a few key moves to prep the tool and use it. To anyone else who is on a similar journey, I also note that having a device like a real hotas makes a big difference. Initially I was using a razer keypad and a keyboard. That was an exercise in frustration as I not only had to remember the mapping of the functions like TMS down to the key combination, but also where my fingers had TO GO. Then I got a logitech stick. Flight characteristics improved, but the finger mapping and finger dancing was distracting and too big of a cognitive load. This year I splurged for a vkb stick. WOW. this plane now flies smoothly, barely stalls and slewing the cursor (HUD,TAD,HMCS,TGP, MAV) is useful. My fingers still dance over the synapse keypad (throttles are nowhere to be found). I can only imagine what VR must be like. Getting off topic, the only gripe I have about the A10C user interface is the fixed nature of the HMCS. As I turn my head for trackIR, my eyes have to move in the opposite direction to see the HMCS. It is really annoying and always reminds me of Nicholson in 'The Shining'. In people with brain damage (which I might get if I do too much DCS) this is called 'doll's eyes' (oculocephalic reflex) when only the brainstem is intact- the eyes fix on a stationary point regardless of how the head is moved. I wish they would allow the HMCS location on screen to be be influenced by TrackIR, at least a little.

;)

HMCS is centered on the viewscreen. ALWAYS. So when I rotate my head to the right, I have to 'slew my eyes' to the left. This is rather unnatural and distracting. Is there any way to get the HMCS to respond to the TrackIR input so that as I rotate my head to the right, the HMCS moves to the right side of the screen?

The steam version does not install two separate folders. I only have one dcs folder and only one saved games folder

I had to go to a urologist recently and one of the questions he asked me was if I had ED. I almost said yes I have version 2.5.6 but stopped just in time.

When I think of latency, I remember moving my mouse and seeing the cursor drift across the screen a second later. Some nvidia drivers were famous for that. But with DCS, I dont know that latency is THAT much of a problem, unless latency is leading to stutters. Still reducing latency can only be good , right? I've read so many threads over the years, I don't really know what really works for Win 10 and what is just snake oil. This thread seems helpful But I cannot agree with some of what this thread says https://appuals.com/fix-high-dpc-latency-on-windows-10/ and if you have the time, here's over an hour of youtube that goes over some stuff Personally, I just do a system backup and the registry hack. Most of the 'opening settings windows and clicking settings recommendations' are just a GUI way of doing the same things. But I bring this up because I think there are some people here who have been doing this specifically for DCS and know a lot more.

Thank you for all your work. Hoever, in A10c][ I see a 'P' in the rwr and I cant figure it out.

I click stdby and then AG. Resets to boresight as well.
