Thanks silverdevil, I will give that a try and see if it works for me.

I have always had TRAP checked in TrackIR and use F9=PAUSE and F12=RESET. Sometime during the last few patches they have stopped working in TrackIR. I have unchecked the box, started DCS, checked the box and started DCS again with no change. I am not one that removes and reloads programs when it was working and now is not. This takes too much time and never seems to fix the problem anyone is having. Why did it work for years of great flying and now doesn't? F9 and F12 are keys that I don't use and can afford to remap those to TrackIR functions. Wayne

Great news. Kieron' service support has been excellent over the years. Happy Flying, Wayne

After talking to Kieron from TekCreations over email, I reloaded the new flash ware and it seems to be working rather well. I made another order with TekCreations over last Christmas and he sent me the newer Brain board. I also have my Master Arm panel plugged into the AMPCD port on the brain board. All is working since. I can send you the recent firm ware and uploading software if you need it. Cheers, Happy Flying, Wayne

Thanks! Wayne

It just happened to me again. This is what my Export.lua file looks like when my cockpit doesn't work.https://forum.dcs.world/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=383120&key=7624a000e73a21c4b122b3ae29b1e011

Why does it seem to be getting changed and can I stop it from always reverting back to something that stops my cockpit from working? I will post what it changes to when it changes shortly. Thanks, Wayne

Where do I find that export.lua file to check it and make changes, if required?

Thanks everyone that are trying to help me get things back to normal. I will have a look at my .lua file and see what it looks like. I don't have a lot of experience dealing with the .lua file and may ask for some help to figure out what is going on.

Thanks for letting me know about the protocol change. Do you know how to fix it or where I can look to maybe figure it out and get things back working? I am completing some mods and would like to get my testing completed, fix what needs to be fixed, and get back in the air ASAP. Thanks,

Has anyone else experienced connection issues with Arduino's through DCS BIOS since the latest DCS update v 2.9.4.53707? All of my cockpit switches worked before the update and after nothing. Everything is dead in the water. Thanks, Wayne

This is what my second monitor looks like when I start DCS to fly. The top window shows DCS code rolling when I am in the sim and flying while the bottom window doesn't change. Wayne

What seems to be working for me is bringing up the connect-serial-port.cmd and enter the port for my IFEI (for me it is 9)(I am using the one from TekCreations) and hitting enter; I leave this window open but move it to my second monitor. I then open multiple-com-ports.cmd and don't do anything, but move it to my second monitor leaving it open. Since I have been doing this, everything has been staying stable and working great. This is the first step that I do before going flying. Second step is getting my SimAppPro up and working. Third is starting VAICOM. Forth is starting TrackIR. Fifth is starting DCS. I will post a picture in the next few minutes. I need to restart my computer for everything to sync. I hope this helps. Wayne

Will do! Wayne

I just managed to get it back working. More testing and flying will be required to make sure it is stable and not kicking itself out of working.

Same thing has been happening to me as well. No idea what is going on in the background.

Ever since we updated to v2.9 it seems like my cockpit isn't the only one not working now. Does anyone know why and/or how to fix the issue? I switched over to FP Fork a few months ago and was enjoying flying my beloved hornet, but now that isn't working either. HELP!!! hrnet940

Nice desktop cockpit Purzel. Bravo Zulu!!

I have also noticed that issue with my TekCreations IEFI that it stops working when I transition to HUD only view, but catches back up when I switch out of HUD only view. All of my WINWING devices continue to work without issues. Wayne

Thanks for all of the posts. I have had similar issues after getting moved over to FP Fork. I had an issue with Malware Bytes picking up the .cmd window as a PUP and quarantined it. I reloaded the FP Fork stuff and it is back working once again. I do have one board (F18 Brain Controller from TekCreations) that doesn't want to work on the Fork version yet works good on the HUB version. The F18 Brain Controller is where my HOOK, WING FOLD, and MASTER ARM panel are connected to. I plan on connecting more of their devices to it in the future. Any suggestions? Wayne

I found it, should have looked a little more.

Where do I find the manual so I can print it and begin to understand what I am about to undertake? I have looked in the usual spots and didn't find it. Thanks,

Sorry for the delay in getting back here. I have my issues figured out and the TekCreations IFEI panel works great now. It was preset to be the aileron trim in the DCS controller assignment. After I noticed that and fixed it, it works great. I feel like a bit of a goober not checking there first. Learning curve issue, LOL!!! Wayne

Thanks. I will follow this video in the coming days and see what happens. I will post here what happens here and if I get the magnetic compass to work. Thanks

I just found this video. Am I following it to get the latest version of DCS-BIOS Fork? Wayne
