GETTIM BOYS

I already love this thread. It reminds me of the Tomcat announcement thread. Good times. Leave booked for Friday. By Sunday I hope to have snagged at least one wire.

DANGER ZONE

I'm working on one (though I don't have the Hornet until Thurs). Attached draft. https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=185628&d=1527570620

Anyone figured out a mapping to the Warthog? Only thing that may be an issue is the ANT ELEV? *edit* how's this (attached)? hotas_1-0_Hornet.pdf

Looking forward to it. What's your YT channel?

Wondering if it would be feasible and of much interest to release a blue water map for carrier/naval scenarios. Might be interesting to not have the safety net of a divert field. It's obviously not a priority but I thought it might be a relatively easy thing to do.

Yes, Zulu is GMT/UTC +0

I'm really interested in this, but with a 250ms+ ping from straya, it's unlikely I'll get to play. I'm sure a lot of ANZ guys would appreciate a Sydney-based server if that was ever a possibility. Will watch with interest!

+1 for the Gazelle, looking forward to it.

Thanks devs, this is great. I tried to submit a PR to fix your install docs, but long story short I'll just post it here:

Not a mindless rant and I know I'm referencing a 4 year old campaign here, but omg the Hinds in mission 3 are infuriating to follow in their NOE legs in the north of the flight plan. Slowing to < 20kias in a valley, then hauling ass over the ridge back up to 90kias, all the while I'm running out of left pedal in a near-hover with a tailwind and listening to the copilot criticising me for not staying in a rotor diameter from these psychos and knowing it will insta-fail if I get too far behind. Didn't fail it but I almost quit the campaign and was decidedly nauseated. Ugh. If I'd failed it, that would have been the end of the campaign for me, I'm not going through that again. The AI NOE behaviour isn't sensible enough for this sort of thing.

I couldn't wait :) It works perfectly! Bed time.

OK so my Pro Micro arrived and I've designed this for my eject handle. Seems to work OK on my dev box but we'll see once it's hooked up to DCS. Thanks again for the guidance [FSF]Ian // Eject switch for DCS World // Requires ATmega32U4 based Arduino (Pro Micro, Leonardo etc) // Connect eject switch from D2 to 5V // Connect 10k resistor from D2 to GND // Connect USB to sim host PC const char ctrlKey = KEY_LEFT_CTRL; // Windows/Linux // const char ctrlKey = KEY_LEFT_GUI; // MacOS const char ejectKey = 'e'; const int buttonPin = 2; bool debounce = false; int buttonState = 0; void setup() { Keyboard.begin(); pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); } void loop() { // has eject been pressed? buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); if (buttonState == HIGH) { if (!debounce) { debounce = true; eject(); } } else { debounce = false; } } void eject() { // give it 5 presses in case of something lost in the ether for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Keyboard.press(ctrlKey); delay(50); Keyboard.write(ejectKey); delay(50); Keyboard.release(ctrlKey); delay(100); } }

Just want to say thanks for TacView. I'm teaching my son BFM and in his words it really clicks for him when he views the ACMI.

Excellent, I've only done some basic stuff with Uno's but I'll get onto it and post results. Cheers

I suspected as much, thanks. So given your arduino experience is way more advanced than mine, how would you do it? All I can think of is a) sending a keystroke from the arduino (rather than Lua callback) or b) somehow configuring the duino as a HID?

Hey, I'm giving this a try as my BetaInnovations products no longer have software support. I couldn't find a callback for the eject handle in the A10C, does it not exist? How would I implement a physical eject handle with dcs-bios? Thanks *edit* for clarity, I have the hardware built to trip a microswitch when yanked, I'm just chasing the appropriate arduino code. Thanks

Can anyone verify if multicrew is working ok? We just tried and had some weird issues with me (the CP/G) not seeing rotors spinning, nor the RWR or gauge indications, nor the shoot cue and being unable to shoot even though the pilot saw the shoot cue on the screen.

*airhorns* :thumbup:

I have the spring removed from my HOTAS Warthog so often fly without trimming as there is very little force to fight against. I do find though that pre-setting takeoff trim is useful - back a bit, left a bit, a bit more if you're heavy.

Thanks for this. I had hoped the southwestern corner might dip into the Pacific so we could fly off a CVN, but it looks like Lake Mead will have to be home to a carrier. I guess the Area 51 residents helped to move it there.

I use Git for the same thing. Also allows me to sync my mission folder between my workstation and my cockpit PCs.

Thanks guys
