Headspace

In light of the F-15C and Su-27 announcements, I am definitely prioritizing development of an overlay system to display radio head data for aircraft that do not contain interactive radio heads. Stay tuned for that one--I think you'll be impressed. In the meantime we are integrating Huey and focusing back on FC3.

I remember buying Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for N64 for close to $80.00.

Alright Eddie, thanks.

Do you ever use any of the FC3 aircraft?

One of these is non-trivial, the others are less so. If you can confirm it's not working in the current TS/DCS release please do so and I will get on that. Nothing was changed in either DCS or TS3 that should interfere, and I've had no bug reports, so you should be okay. If you're having a problem then send the logs.

It was planned to be worked on in February but a few things came up. While people are right that TARS is DCS focused there will be support for FC3.

Welcome to the party, and best of luck with your mod. Since we have the encryption system and screen overlays as a low priority item with TARS, I am sure there's plenty of interest to be generated with those features. Let me know if you have issues with the TS3 API, it can be a bit of a minefield at times, especially when they release updates.

A few people have asked me if TARS will feature any kind of configurable radio option to FC3 in the form of extra radio controls in the game. Apparently someone wrote a different radio mod which allows this. There will not be anything added to TARS that interferes or otherwise preempts the windowing of DCS--A solution similar to the one used in Fraps and other FPS display options is as far as we plan to go. It has the potential to cause performance issues with different graphics modes and goes against one of the design rules we laid out originally. In the future, if you want to control your radio(s) with FC3, you will need to do it via hotkey unless the developers add scripting hooks to explicitly enable something along these lines. Second, while the encryption systems are on the list, they're pretty low down the list. Encryption adds very little to gameplay outside of being a novelty, given the current average number of players in a DCS mission, and the lack of a real-life theater of war populated with real human beings. Once full integration with FC3 and CA is accomplished then we may focus on encryption. Send crash logs. When no one sends logs, it becomes exponentially harder to figure out what the problem is. The crash logs will show up in your My Documents folder. Check your Export.lua file. Some mods have installers that are designed to look for other mods in Export and work with those mods. Others don't. I can vouch for Tacview having a robust installer. But outside of that, you may need to check. You can expect a more detailed update on the TARS site later in the week. Suffice it to say that changes in DCS World have altered our roadmap significantly. Huey support is a given (obviously). I expect most of you will be happy with how that turns out.

Then maybe the reason they do it the way they do here (off the ramp) is because it's a medflight bird. But others do it as well. It's a class D airport. *occasionally* they do the hovertaxi and runway takeoff route. When you have a bunch of parked business jets the rotor downwash has caused occasional problems, but there hasn't been an issue with traffic separation. They always appear to be in constant communication with the tower when they take off from, and land, on their ramp spot. The tower always gives the "at your own risk" advisory though.

It really depends on the ATC environment. In the airport that I fly out of it isn't unusual for helicopters to request takeoff/landing on the ramp and ATC to issue a clearance with "do so at your own risk" added onto it. There was an OH-58 who was on the ramp about 100 yards away from where I was getting ready to taxi last summer at my home airport who launched right off the ramp, saluted us, and booked out of there. ATC gave him clearance. It is, apparently, up to ATC.

I am absolutely shocked and saddened by this. RIP Jim.

I used it in the mid 90s as a teenager, often with teenager levels of politeness toward other people, sadly. I think people sometimes feel that there's an excuse these days to be a jerk, what with everyone being online.

Look at the Export.lua file and see if the one mod is erasing the other mod's entries. Any mod that installs to Export.lua needs to make sure that it doesn't disturb whatever else is in there.

Check your allow_export setting in your network.cfg file. The control panel will attempt to set it to true, but every now and then other things can affect it.

For now it's been drawing from the registry. But if the control panel is showing green text, it's found your DCS: World installation. Apparently the registry numbers aren't getting updated. I'll have to get that information off of the file descriptor.

There will be a point at which your CPU becomes the bottleneck, and at that point no additional GPU will help you. IMHO, the only reason to do SLI is if you want to use multiple monitors and still get competitive framerates. If that isn't your goal, then SLI will be of marginal benefit to you, even with a modern CPU.

That's not really something TARS should be able to do to your DCS. Please do send in the log if you suspect that your DCS has crashed because of it. It's mainly an export application, meaning it only receives information from DCS.

You can do it either way, whichever you prefer.

Check altitude. In the past it has tended to give no mark if you're extremely high up.

Ah yeah, noticed the fifth there. Same deal though--one of the same kind came out from the inside. Not sure why. Sorry for taking over your thread--figured I'd made my own.

The numerous changes introduced in World has kept me behind the curve there, but it is on the list of things to do.

A screw fell out of my WH throttle. Just what it says. I saw it rolling around in the hole where the left throttle is. Overturned the throttle and it fell out. It's a black phillips screw, and appears to be the same size as the four on the top of the throttle's panel. Anyone know what could've happened here?

They can be started in any order. After you've configured your settings the control panel is no longer needed. TARS starts running as soon as you start Teamspeak 3, because as a plugin of Teamspeak 3's it is integrated right into the process. TARS only activates itself when DCS starts up and says "hi."

There shouldn't be any problem with it.

That feature would be in, uri_ba, as well as a lot of stuff that we listed in the roadmap in 2011. But then DCS World happened, and a whole bunch of other factors came into play. It's still on the list. You may need to relax antispam settings on some servers due to the volume of inter-client messaging it does in the TS3 side.
