Second monitor with onboard gpu negatives?
JG14_Smil replied to TonyStovepipe's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
It just occurred to me that I use the onboard GFX to run my Ikarus gauge monitor. Performance is fine. Sorry I didn't reply sooner :p 4080x1920 DCS 6000x1920 Windows -
Thanks so much uboats!

Hello, I know I can comment out a line of lua code with "--" Is there a way to comment out a section without the -- in front of every line? For example (in C programming?): // is a line comment /* comments out all of this */ thanks very much.

Smoothing out my rudder axis
JG14_Smil replied to Raven_Morpheus's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Like rick says, the curve adjustment will help a lot. When in the helo: Escape/adjust controls. Select axis, click axis tune. Deadband will set a small deadzone near zero on your controller axis. On a slider, it is to one side, on a normal axis, the dead zone is in the center of travel. There is no response from an axis when in the deadzone. Do this if you cant fly straight. Don't over do it. Y Saturation is maximum output from axis. If you don't ever need to use a full rudder deflection, lowering this value can really make your axis resolution better. Downside is you limit travel of usable output (for example, L-39 wheel brakes wont work full without 100% axis deflection). X saturation is 'how fast your axis goes to full travel'. Everything happens faster from your axis if you lower this value. You lose resolution. Curves can be negative or positive values. You can see how they affect the axis response by comparing the red and black dots that move with your axis. If you make it smoother at the center, you add speed exponentially at the other end of axis travel (cant win!). Slider should always be used for throttles and collectives. Note how you can affect it with deadband and X sat values. If you aircraft wont start, or does not go full speed, you can change this by making sure the dots sit within the deadband and X saturation limits when at idle and full speed -
Man, Dangerous Waters pissed me off! :) I had a friend flying and I was hunting a sub. I had it located and was just about to call the alarm when the AI voice took over and called it out. All that work and that little #$@! took all the credit. Never played it again. SH3 modded was just the best sub sim ever, IMHO. :)

flashlight - error after reset/center TrackIR
JG14_Smil replied to SDsc0rch's topic in Bugs and Problems
Yep. Use the mouse for the flashlight and it works fine. Doesn't seem to like the TIR. Please note: Bug reports need to be pretty specific about versions and conditions. Even then I am convinced that it is a waste of time to post things like this. :) Good luck, -

More immersive labels (no text) for NTTR
JG14_Smil replied to Ghostrider142's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
This is a mod and not input/output. Might want to move it there if you want people to see and use it. -
I've spent some time trying to get two functions out of one button press with no luck. The covers have to be out of the way for the function below to work. I can make the cover open with a down function and the button press with an up function, but that is about as close as I can get. Is there lua syntax that can be used instead of a comma(?). The work-around of having the switch covers up and out of the way at mission start may have to be the way we use to get around it. Please let me know if you get it figured out. :)

:) I just noticed typos... you get the idea of what it can do though. Hope it helps!

The file passes integrity check, but note I shut off some back seat items.. needs further testing to see if it matters.
-
Kadda, check this out. Back up your original file located: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Cockpit\macro_sequences.lua Place this file in, then you can assign a button to the CHEAT/ AUTO START in set controls. (or just use RWIN HOME hot keys) Be sure to use a full and proper start up checklist as I believe I shut off oxygen :) This can be refined to exactly as you want it.

I've looked into it a bit... We need to use a modified default.lua to get proper action out of the toggle switches. No getting around this. I do have the turbo start cover and start button working together, but it is tricky as one uses electric interface and the other uses icommandplane syntax. I think I will get it in time with some experimenting... There is no way to change initial state of the aircraft as it is hard-coded (as far as I know). The easiest way to get all switch covers out of the way is to edit the macro_sequences.lua file. We then just leave the switch covers up as you and I do not need to see the DCS cockpit. The auto start macro routine can be edited to say "SETTING COLD COCKPIT" and could then set controls like switch covers and emergency fuel cutoff to the positions we want for our pits - without actually starting the aircraft. I will probably do this when the times comes and I'll use a button from the unused IFF panel for this.
-
Hi Kadda, You want the switch covers to operate automatically when the button or switch below is pressed, correct? This would be done with a modified default.lua file. I'll need to do it also. I'll have a look and see and get back to you.

1.5.6.5199 Issue still persists. Is there any point to reporting bugs?
-
I am no techie, but I believe it happens when a client does not receive data from a server. I just put in down to "net burp".
-
I'm sure there will be a beacons.lua for it and it easily modded without affecting Integrity checks and other people's play. Why radio navigation is needed just to go sightseeing? You got me...
-
I'm guessing your system is pretty quick. Just enjoy it.

A TrackIR is quite useful in many sims. I can't look at a single monitor anymore, but I would buy a Jetseat before anything else. It is just a must-have item and once you use one, you can never go without again.

2nd GTX 1080 or second SSD?
JG14_Smil replied to 104th_Money's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
2nd display is not really a performance hit. I never saw any of that until the third and fourth monitors comes along. -
Vibration sensor... got it! Thanks so much, I'll definitely make one.
-
Glad you found it. If DCS used that file, it would get overwritten in each update. I believe that was the point of the export lua move we all hated at first.
-
If it is all setup properly, you need to comment out a line in your export.lua with Notepad++. I'll go find the line.. Read down page one of Capt Zeen's site. http://www.captzeen.com/helios/index.asp
