For my mod MH-60R There are currently 6 pages: NAV, RADAR, ASN1-28B, ENGINE, ASW, CSAR Some elements communicate bidirectionally, others via keybinds. Everything seems OK in COLD START, there is still the problem in HOT START, a workaround is in place but still needs fine-tuning. Thanks again for your help and your work on the plugin that made this adaptation possible.

It's more of a holding aid than a true autopilot.

An autopilot on BlackHawk ? Where did you see that? Unlook the tail wheel , it would rotate according to the orientation of the BH

here is the line, but I don't think that's the problem, the battery switch is just an example (also found on the Huey page) BATT_SW|batt_sw|Battery Switch, OFF/ON|4|0|OffOn|OFF but I will test to understand the difference, this concerns all of cocpkit's elements (inter, light, value of arguments). Everything works normally from COLD START, with all the tests that I have done, I am convinced that in HOT START mode, there is no event at the start of the mission, the elements are not initialized or maybe I missed something in the cockpit concept? To be continued...

I tested this LGHT_SW|lght_sw|Lighting_Switches|0|0|#=int(65535)#|0 modified LGHT_SW|lght_sw|Lighting_Switches|0|0|=int(65535)|0 I added this edited line in the CustomACParams.dat file but when I execute the extractor script, the line is not taken into account after the script .\dbParamExtractor.ps1 MH-60R in MH-60R.tt the line is Lights|analog_gauge|LGHT_SW|Lighting_Switches|0|0|65535|integer after the script .\ppGenerator.ps1 MH-60R in MH-60R.pp the line is always LGHT_SW|lght_sw|Lighting_Switches|0|0|#=int(65535)#|0 I tested with the option --verbose 98 LGHT_SW : Not customized I tried to read the script but I'm not comfortable with this language...

Using ctrldef we can see that the values are correct during a Hot Start. For example, in Hot Start, the Battery switch is positioned on ON yet in TouchPortal it shows Current: OFF

Question asked to Warlord

I come back to my question about starting a mission in Hot Start, I tried different things, but I can't figure out how to synchronize the objects. Some events seem not to happen which is not the case with a Cold Start. Is there a way to make a button that would run a series of tests to resync the elements of that series which could be triggered by the event 'Aircraft connection is ON' Thanks

An error on my part, the value under DCS is between 0 and 1, but under DCS-BIOS it is converted between 0 and 65535. My event test was therefore bad

Perfect, the line is now accessible. I use this function to read the value of an argument (here 206), however the value does not change and always remains at 0 while the arg goes to 1 That I use a 'Event' or a 'If Statement' Again, have I missed something?

I defined in the lua of my mod in DCS-BIOS : local defineFloat = BIOS.util.defineFloat defineFloat("LIGHTING_SWITCHES", 206, {0, 1}, "LIGHTS", "Lighting_Switches") that I find in the .json "LIGHTS": { "LIGHTING_SWITCHES": { "category": "LIGHTS", "control_type": "analog_gauge", "description": "Lighting_Switches", "identifier": "LIGHTING_SWITCHES", "inputs": [ ], "outputs": [ { "address": 25088, "description": "gauge position", "mask": 65535, "max_value": 65535, "shift_by": 0, "suffix": "", "type": "integer" } ] } }, and in .pp LIGHTING_SWITCHES|lighting_switches|Lighting_Switches|0|0|#=int(65535)#|0 Everything seems OK, but impossible to find it in TouchPortal to test its value, What am I doing wrong or forgetting? Thanks for help

It's TP buttons action in general. I now realize that this is the tablet's normal behavior, and that it's the release of the pressure that triggers the action.

Is there a solution so that the action is triggered when the button is pressed and not when the button is released?

No problem to help according to my knowledge (I am new to the DCS-BIOS, DCS-COINS and TouchPortal environment) Since I need to create the DCS-BIOS file for my *.lua mod, my main difficulty at the moment is choosing the right type of switch or button for the commands to make sure I can use it in TouchPortal. I also need to understand how to synchronize the lights, buttons during a hot start

Hi, To add a functional winch, you must be able to modify the 3D files and add the necessary args and commands and gameplay This was only possible for me because I had permissionfrom the UH-60L mod author (@Kinkkujuustovoileipa) and files to make a submod of the MH-60R.

If I take the example of the HUEY page, there is an 'OFFLINE' / 'ONLINE' caution light. It deactivates when the unit is destroyed, but remains activated when leaving the mission, Is there a solution for this?

Each time the lua file for DCS-BIOs is modified, the equivalent *.json file is updated when starting a mission using the mod. I noticed that it was necessary to generate the *.pp file again and do a setup for the plugin again too.

Cool, on gitub your link goes to 1.3 nonullt 3.1

The original UH-60L mod is 1.3.2 and soon 1.4 The submod UH-60L Armed is 5.5.1 The submod MH-60R is 3.0, 3.1 is not yet available... Which archive are you talking about?

Is there a small converter to automatically transcribe the lua file to *.pp? This would avoid disturbing you with each modification

I got help from WarLord from DCS FlightPanels. This made it possible to find the problem in the lua file, currently DCS-BIOS seems (I have to complete the file) to be functional in bidirectional mode. It will be necessary to regenerate the *.pp file, for the moment I will modify the current test file manually

For my part, I have a problem of communication with Mods If I use keybinds, it works correctly from tablet to PC => DCS I tried the HUEY page available in the user files, I have no communication with the UH-1H module... On this page there is an OFFLINE light which I believe should have the text turn white when connecting to the module, it is constantly grayed out, although the tablet is recognized as connected to TouchPortal... How do I test to see if the problem is with DCS-BIOS or TouchPortal? The UH-1H module is activated in DIOS.lua and selected in the choice of DCS-COINS modules, the plugin loads without error in TouchPortal. Thanks for the help

Thanks, I'll try it this evening

After searching, I managed to create the MH-60R.lua file (with 5 switches for test) and DCS-BIOS transcribed it to json I attach the files if you want to transcribe in *.pp for test Thanks for your help MH-60R.lua MH-60R.jsonp MH-60R.json

I don't use JSGME
