Maybe a topic for another thread, but I got it working after much trial and error. Mostly error. Everything that you see below is flashing appropriately. I play in VR so I wont see these, but I am glad to help. If you make a thread, feel free to @ me if you want my input. There were lots of ways to go wrong and your module may require some unique code (which I have figured out too, for the apache at least.)

Check the DCS Comms button to see if you have DCS IDs 3000 - 3006. (Ignore stuff after 3006)

Target is hieroglyphics. I am wondering the sane with the leds. I *think* Winwing does something like that.

Make sure you are in game with the Cmws on.

Nah, you are fine. Juist takes time to learn a new skill. Take a look at the chart here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/wiki/AH-64D-Apache You will see this line here: Put 3004 in DCS-Interface here where it says "Title Text" > "DCS ID": And that's it!

"Yes" and "no". The red switches are ON-OFF out of the box. You (as have I) can make them ON-ON via the VIRPIL software. The same can be done with the Warthog via TARGET. Many ways to go about it. Lots of choices.

3-way switches are kind of tricky. Thanks for the suggestion. Added PLT NVS MODE Switch

It seems that the apache MPD information only updates when the screen is visible. Which makes sense for the user, but does not do too well for a stream deck. If anyone has suggestions or ideas for implementation, my ears are open. I figured that a SD profile for the apache would be interesting because all (most) of the information is already digital and "in your face" via the IHADSS and MPDs. With that said, it is easy to navigate the SD in VR, which is nice.

Have you tried this? It comes with the module.

Added AH-64D Flare and Chaff readouts. https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/wiki/AH-64D-Apache https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-ExportScript/ExportsModules/AH-64D_BLK_II.lua

A10 does. You can see Left/Right engine throttle Set OFF in there. Unless you were addressing other posts, then IDK.

I also have difficulties interacting with that menu with VR.

You can give it a shot. Here are some examples. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/297237-apache-special-for-joystickcontrollerhotas-keybinds/

We talked on discord. Unless that was a fake haha

PM'ed. Good luck!

Updated to DCS Version 2.7.11.22041. Added Parking Brake

For reference, here is my game default after pressing Num5, NumEnter, and then tapping Num2 twice. I hope that creates a "baseline" on which to compare. Specifically the location and profile of the stick in relation to the head/eyes.

Remember how some modules have had those useful "ON else OFF" type keybinds? Here are are the ones that I have personally found useful. They can be used for two-way switches that only send a signal in one way. You can find these types of switches on the Virpil CM2/CM3 and the Thrustmaster Warthog, for example. These are working in DCS version 2.7.11.22041 Their use or effectiveness in other DCS versions is not guaranteed. The files are likely to be reset/erased if you do a DCS repair or update. Please keep a backup in a safe location. Do not do these mods if you are not comfortable or prepared to edit some DCS code by hand. These changes are safe for Single Player and Multiplayer to include Intregity Check. Instructions: - Copy the code that you want from one of the boxes below the instructions. - Paste the code into one these files:... `C:\...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Input\AH-64D_PLT\joystick\default.lua` `C:\...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Input\AH-64D_CPG\joystick\default.lua` at this location near the top: After restarting DCS you should see your new keybind: Feel free to request keybinds after you have attempted to add it yourself and made sure that the request has not already been fulfilled elsewhere in this thread. For those who are successful, please share the knowledge and fun! Enjoy!

Feel free to use these icons I uploaded recently for your profile. Looking forward to it! https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/tree/master/docu/Pics/AH-64D Apache

Fair enough. If you vote for them to change, then I vote for them to stay

I noticed this yesterday. I think it's a case of the cockpit not being symmetrical at the pilots. A pic would be nice to compare.

Your image state change DCS ID is 310, which is Guard button. Change it to 403, which is Emergency Guard PLT Light.

Thank you ED Web person for the addition!

Done. Thanks for the request and the add.

Agreed that it is difficult to see. It's movable, but finding a good place in this cockpit is a bit difficult.
