Panda_DCS

I have SimShaker for aviators and the Sound module. I have been using it for a while and it was working fine until the last update 2.1.0.0. Since this update it loads when DCS is launched, but sometimes it doesn't do anything and sometimes it works normally. If it doesnt work after auto launching when DCS starts usually closing the program and relaunching gets it to work. I don't see any error messages in the log window in SSA but I am not sure if that is where to look or what to look for. The test feature of the sound module works without issue. I have uninstalled and installed from scratch and the issue persists. Looking for suggestions on how to get this working consistently again. Thanks

Yes, I tried both with the same result. It seems like some kind of write issue. Like I mentioned I do not have a d3dx_user.ini file that I can find which I assume is created when you save your settings so possibly something is keeping it from writing the file.

Just an FYI I am also having the issue where pressing ALT-F12 does not save settings. It merely makes the menu go away and the changes made revert back to default. No d3dx_user.ini exists in my install as far I can tell. I solved my problem by changing the default user_keymapping_setup.ini to reflect the settings I use. Thanks for your work on this mod.

Thanks! I found the download on the 1st page of this thread and now it works...I appreciate your time and responses!

I looked at github and am only getting the 2015 version. Can you help with a link to the newer version? I believe I found it...

I did just notice your screenshot had a newer version...guess I will try that since nothing else has worked. Didn't even realize my version was so old.

I dont even have that option

Thanks for your response. All the columns and rows were used on the original button box, I just stripped everything out and hooked up 1 button for this test once things were not working to simplify. I understand the matrix. I stress the button all show up in MMJOY just not in the windows game controller. I assumed it has something to do with assigning them in that box on the right, but I have tried switch and switch on and neither works. I know to save it down...as I mentioned I have used MMJOY several times before but only axis and not buttons. If I have a momentary button what setting is needed to get it to show up in game controller? If its a toggle switch?

I have an issue I cannot seem to figure out. I have used MMJOY in the past with no issues, but mostly for axis. I am building a button box and am having an issue with the buttons working in windows. They work fine in mmjoy2, but when I use the windows game controller window to test the device no button registers. I have stripped it down to a single push button and still nothing registers when a button is pressed. The device shows up in windows. I couldn't seem to get a screen shot while the button was depressed, but it lit up button 16 in the mmjoy panel. Am I missing some reason why the button presses wouldn't show up in windows?

I have a buddy who recently got the kneeboard plugin and has had some trouble getting things to work. I was trying to help him out and noticed that on the keyword editor page he shows 0 keywords. What would cause this? Is there a quick fix? We have tried re-importing a clean profile but still no keywords. Is this a sign of some other issue? Looking for suggestions before telling him to reinstall and start over. Thanks

Ok. Thanks. My server is also having the issue with multicrew stats. If I can provide anything to help resolve the issue let me know.

Couple of questions: 1. To install this on a server that already is running a previous version do you just overwrite the existing files? 2. Does this version include the fix for multi seat aircraft mentioned recently? Thanks, I look forward to testing.

So I was able to get the result I want by making the following bat file @echo off rem restart every 4 hours (14400 seconds) :loop start "" "PATH TO DCS LAUNCHER" timeout /t 14400 taskkill /im dcs.exe /f timeout /t 20 "PATH TO PYTHON EXE" "PATH TO PYTHON SCRIPT" goto loop

Unfortunately that doesn't work. When I run the dcs.exe directly dcs asks for serial numbers to all the terrains...which you should not need for the dedicated server...and then it crashes. When running DCS_updater.exe which is the executable it installed by default it starts right up. On the bright side when it crashed it did then run the batch file as desired, but obviously not starting is a problem.

I am having issues getting this to work. I have tried several different combination using Start, call, and /wait but nothing has worked. Here is my base code. Launched both DCS and script simultaneously rem @echo off "H:\DCS WORLD Dedicated Server\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS_updater.exe" "C:\Python38\python.exe" "H:\CODE\pythonScripts\stack-working.py" Same as above rem @echo off START "" "H:\DCS WORLD Dedicated Server\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS_updater.exe" "C:\Python38\python.exe" "H:\CODE\pythonScripts\stack-working.py" Same as above rem @echo off START /wait "" "H:\DCS WORLD Dedicated Server\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS_updater.exe" "C:\Python38\python.exe" "H:\CODE\pythonScripts\stack-working.py" Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks. I did not know that. I will give it a try.

I want the bat file to run when the DCS process ends. Basically the server restarts at a certain interval and when the server process stops I want this bat file to execute. The only way I knew to make this happen was to call the bat file from the LuaExportStop function because to my knowledge that was only called when you right clicked and closed the server window. If there is another way I am open to suggestions...I am not that familiar with bat files but if I can do this in the bat file I would give it a shot.

I am trying to run a windows bat file when the simulation quits. I have been able to run the bat file through a Hook using function callbacks.onSimulationStop() But that runs when the mission is stopped and when the simulation quits. I only want it to fire when the simulation quits similar to LuaExportStop(). For some reason I have been unable to get this to work using LuaExportStop() even though I have been able to execute other code this way. I thought you could call Export.LuaExportStop() from inside a Hook, but that isn't working either. I would be very appreciative if anyone could point me in the right direction for running this Bat file when the simulation quits. Thanks

The code is now working as intended.

I am working on exporting some data from DCS and my code works on its own. Once I put it into an environment where there are other mods it seems the export functions conflict. I have looked to the code from Tacview for a solution that seems to work for everything except the function that I need the most...LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t). I am able to get the initial call of the function to execute, but then it fails to run again based on (t) which is every 5 seconds. There are no errors being reported, it just doesn't seem to get called again. I am convinced the problem is the way I am setting up the function since this method is new to me, my Lua skills are trash, and I haven't seen an example of how to pass the variable t back to the function when setting it up this way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. do local DCSLuaExportActivityNextEvent = LuaExportActivityNextEvent; LuaExportActivityNextEvent = function(t) local tNext = t CODE TO BE EXECUTED tNext = tNext + 5.0 return tNext end

@LeCuvier - Yes this is the situation I am facing, and I have seen posts about the issue from years ago. I was hoping it had been solved and I just couldn't locate the solution. The thing I find odd is that other switches like Flaps and EAC sync no matter what position are in so it seems like it is possible to have it work correctly. It is not a "big" deal, but certainly frustrating when you know it can work the right way. Thanks

Sorry if this has been addressed recently but I have been searching for hours and can't find any recent mention. I am trying to get the Rdr Altm switch on the throttle to work for the BARO/RDR switch in the F-18. I have it working properly, but my problem is that it doesn't sync properly at startup. I starts on BARO everytime. After switching it up and down it will sync up and work properly, but that kind of defeats the purpose intended. My EAC and Flaps switches both sync up perfectly everytime. I have seen mentions to this sort of problem, but never a solution. ll the case that there is no way to fix this issue or is the solution eluding me? Thanks

I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere, but I cannot find a way to close the Manual overlay once the mod is installed. The only way to get rid of the overlay is to exit the sim and then re-launch the program. Am I missing something or is this not possible to just close the overlay (no X appears in the upper right corner after mod) when the mod is active? Thanks.
