    Prevent incorrect/accidental activations when using hand tracking

    in VR Bugs

    Posted

    Hi kaltokri,
    Thank you for your prompt response. Is the device not too heavy/bulky/intrusive with a Warthog type HOTAS? Do you have a picture of the device installed on your hand so we can get a better idea?
    I use the Ultraleap to interact with the cockpit of the F18. It works really well for buttons and some switches, but in the case of rotary switches, it's just a nightmare. Will this device work with the Ultraleap in the sense that if my finger aligns with a switch/rotary, the clicks or scrolling will work natively?

    Thank you."

    option to setup virtual hand spacing

    in DCS Core Wish List

    Posted

    In the current DCS version it is possible to tune hand positions up/down, left/rigt and forward/backward.
    Howerver it is not possible to choose the hand spacing.
     
    When I bring my hands together until they touch, in the game they pass through each other because the spacing isn't correct. It would be very useful to be able to adjust the hand spacing, especially for those who use physical peripherals alongside their VR headset.

     

    Thanks

    Aircraft snapview file

    in DCS Modding

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to fine tune my F18 snapviews but I don't know which file is the good one among all the "..view.. files that we can find in differnt DCS directories...

    I am also wondering how the x, y and z trans are oriented...

    Does anyone know ?

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Stupid question but I flew 3 missions totalising 2H48' (54 +58 + 57) but my profile shows only 2H experience ?
    Is it because it is rounded or did I miss something ?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Lost my passaword 😔
    But I do not see any option to recover it...
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    DynaMO : a Dynamic Mission Orchestrator mod

    Hi everyone,

    Short update today.

    The Caucasus Demonstration Theater is slowly but surely taking shape. Some thirty platforms (nuclear plant, power plant, factory, army base) are already in place, as shown by the icons in the following image.

    Screen_240404_191442.jpg

    The units automatically placed on the platforms are obviously in line with the platform's coalition. For example, you can see that Russian helicopters (Ka50, Mi8, etc.) are placed on the red army bases, whereas NATO equipments (Ah64, etc.) are placed on the blue army bases (although everything was mixed on the Generic platform).

    Screen_240404_191832.jpgScreen_240404_191905.jpgScreen_240404_191743.jpg

    Of course, every platform is different. Above the Kobuleti Army base. I remind you that this scenario is purely fictitious, so there's no need to look for this base in real life (although of course there's nothing to stop you setting up platforms in line with reality).

    Vehicles and helicopters are just static object but I am now coding the bataillon that will effectively defend the platforms.

    See you soon for new pictures (and video)

    Happy flying

    Hi everyone,

    Time for a little update.

    As the Theater builder is now quite robust I hve started to build an exemple/tutorial in the Caucase map and I will show you soon with new screenshoot or video.

    In the meantime I show you a new exemple of the platform diversity that you can achieve in particular with the link dependancy in the present case on a nuclear plant. I mean that you can superimpose many simObjects on the generic platform (the one on the top) but real platforms will cope this that according to your preferences and build real platforms on the theater (where you specified, here I put them nearby to swow the differences) with no overlapping objects and great diversity.

    I think it's time now to deal with ground forces that will defend these startegic sites still according to your preferences and of course random.

    I will keep you inform,

    Happy flying with DCS

    Lua Pattern for Lua Gurrus...

    in Scripting Tips, Tricks & Issues

    Posted · Edited by CougarFFW04

    Hi,

    I am looking for a lua  pattern that would accept the following format exemples :

    Case 1 : "TEXT1 #i1 TEXT2 " or
    Case 2 : "TEXT1 #i1 TEXT2 i2 " or
    Case 3 : "TEXT1 #i1 TEXT2 i2 SEQ"
    Where
    TEXT1 could be any word ,
    TEXT2 could be any wordS (possibly only one) separated by space
    SEQ is either #i3 or !#i3
    i1, i2 and i3 are integers.

    The aditional condition would be that if i2 is NOT finishing the sequence then it MUST finish with SEQ (as defined above)
    I tried different patterns like  "^%w+ #%d+( [A-Za-z]%w*)*( %d+( !?#%d+)?)?$" but it fails!
    What is wrong  in my pattern ?

    The one suggested by chatGPT (in the code below) does not work either 

    obj = "ROST1 #10 Hornet1 Blue 25 !#10"
pattern="^%w+ #%d+ ([A-Za-z]%w+)( %d+( !#%d+)?)?( [A-Za-z]%w+)*$"

if string.match(obj,pattern) then print("Good") else print("bad") end

    Anyone suggesting a good pattern ?

    You can test any sugestions at https://onecompiler.com/lua/
    Thanks

    Hi everyone,

    DynaMO now takes into account simObject dependancy that will allow even more diversity with only one generic plateform.
    This is illustrated in the following pictures.

    As you ca see there are some simobjects overlapping in upper right of the generic plateform
    However you see that in the real plateform if the big 3 chimney object and the trees are there the 4 towers ones are not (and the opposite).
    You can also check that if 3 chimney building on the lower left is there it's analog on the right is not (and the opposite)
    You might also note that if the central building in the upper left part of the real platform is there, the trees are not (and the opposite)

    You can of course combine everything all-together for a great and coherent diversity from a unique generic platform and duplicate random variant elsewhere.
    No need to know anything about lua because all this is just simple simobject naming rules and convention.

    Hi everyone,

    A small status update to illustrate just how diversified theater can be, thanks to the random placement of objects on platforms. I illustrate this with the following images, which show 3 real platforms generated from the same generic platform (top middle with all opjets shown). We can see, for example, that the large antenna is absent from platform 2 (bottom middle), while trees and one of the buildings with large chimneys are absent from platform 3 (left) but present on platform 1 (right). But there are many other differences... Will you see them?

    See you soon for further updates as the realease of the theater builder approache.
