Hi All, Would be happy to talk to you on Discord, sometimes you just can't say a thousand written words, what you can in 20 verbally. I will detail below as you have requested the issue and the results. For the purposes of testing, here is what I have setup 1. 2. When in the 'Pilot' Cockpit, when I press the button on the StreamDeck, the physical button depresses in the cockpit, and the GUAGE word lights up. When in the 'CPG' cockpit, just the word 'GUAGE' lights up obviously, with no displayed physical press of the cockpit button, because the one I have coded on the StreamDeck is for the Pilot Cockpit 3. When I press StreamDeck button again, The displayed physical press of the button appears in the 'Pilot' cockpit, and the illumination for the word 'GUAGE' goes out, and again, out in the 'CPG' cockpit ------------------------------------------------------- 4. During the physical button press on the actual SD button itself, I can see the values on SD button go from 0.0000 to 1.0000 and then straight back to 0.0000 Therefore, the whole functionality of the SD button works, however, I am not able to change the icon below from unlit to lit, because the value for the second state if the value is to be greater than 0.0000, as it only for a few milliseconds, shows the value of 1.0000 Does that make more sense now? Toni

Hi @frostycab / @Bailey I understand the whole -1.0000 or -1 and 0, or .00 and 1 thing, I only use it for debugging. I convert the string under the last section of the interface 0.0000=GUARD OFF, 1=GUARD ON etc etc Once I have that sorted, which I only use for testing and debugging, then I put in the proper graphics., or button type, and swap the images with the < than etc etc. i am just trying to understand why, when off, GUARD has a value of 0.0000 and then when you manually press the button with the mouse to turn it on in the keyboard, you can see the value go to 1.0000. and then when displaying as on in the keyboard, the value goes straight back to 0.0000 If you look at my F/A-18C, you will see that I full created ever function of the cockpit, in both actions and Summary report screens. Not a single keyboard shortcut, all Device ID's, Command ID's and Button ID's - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/iblock/5b7/r2ba9njiqxz1tu8ecjh2wpwmo14y8rsn/StreamDeck-XL-Published-Version.zip I do not mean to come across like I am being argumentative, I am clearly not getting my point or issue across I hope what I have written above does not come across as confrontational, it was not meant to be in anyway. I promise that all I am just trying to do is relay the issue I have noticed so you guys with the big brains who probably know an awful lot more about this issue I hope what I have written and provided in terms of my released F/A-18C profile, you can see I am jut trying to relay a real problem I am experiencing Thank you Toni Carrera

I am trying to set it, as normal, so that I can have a button that when pressed changes from, let's say 'GUARD' unlit, to 'GUARD' lit, using the same method I did for the others in my complete, e.g. to But I need the value to be specific so that the formula will work. Which is what I did for my F/A-18C, but if the value always ends up at zero the formula to switch the icon can never work Of have I gone way off the rails and totally mind f'd myself? Toni

Afternoon Bailey, I understand about the tail wheel etc and when or not the pin falls, but I have the same for the Pilot Emergency Guard button for instance, as well as many others Emergency Guard (Pilot) OFF ON When pressed, the correct button turns on and off in the Pilot Seat, and yet the value in StreamDeck rolls back to 0.0000, but stays activated or deactivate in the cockpit. So I know it is working, it just goes back to 0.000, not matter what state it is in. I only use this kind of button for testing initially to make sure I have the right control I am looking at your settings above and wondering whether we are using the same clickabledata reference file. I have no 5,3003, 402 for the tail wheel Are you using a different one? Toni

Hi All, I have a SD XL and am coding a new profile for the AH-64D at the moment. All the options I am using are using Device and Command ID's and no keyboard shortcuts. Naturally, i am using the ctytler interface to achieve this. I have both MPD's, EUFD, KBD and Comms panel's done (Pilot Only), and all is fine with them The issues arise when it comes to buttons such as Guard, Tail Lock etc etc. Having looked at the output from the various buttons, no matter what you do when you press them, they end up back at 0.0000. This makes it difficult to change text based on behind the scenes values, or change graphics based on value. You can see when you press the button and watch the value change on the SD, and it counts up to 1.0000, and then straight back to 0.0000, despite the value having changed in the sim Can anyone advise on what I need to do. Do I have to make some fundamental change a file or something. I just do not get it. If you look at things like a squelch button, press it and the value goes from 0 to 1, press the tail lock and it goes from 0.0000 to 1.0000, and then straight back to 0.0000, despite the Tail wheel has unlocked or locked Can someone advise me on this please. It was not like this when I coded my F/A-18C Profile Thank you Toni Carrera

Hi Frosty, I am not sure this is a feature request thread, I know I was cheeky in asking Charles Tytler, it was just a slight moment of frustration that urged my comment I am not saying that I still would not like the feature though Toni

@ctytler Please can I make a request? In a version, in the not too distant future, would you be good enough to enable us to move the separator, or just set it a little higher than it is currently, as forever having to scroll down to see the boxes you want is just time and/or extra step intensive. I am referring to the below/attached; Thank you Charles Toni

I have had all kinds of problems of late with the interface, which is why I went back to the version when I got my StreamDeck XL last year. Perhaps you could try that? I just uninstalled the version I had, and put the old one back in. Everything now works fine for me, no need for extra actions, just works as it always use to DCS 1.0.4 if that helps Toni ps. This of course is only relevant if you are not trying to use the new features that Charles is working on developing. Goes without saying, but will say it anyway, always backup, and if unsure, backup your backups

OMG, I feel about 1/2 inch high! I can't believe that I did not notice that, especially when I have been bouncing back to the Keyboard unit which works to ensure I did it right Sorry I pestered you, and thank you so very much Off to correct that all now Toni

I had a similar thing recently when I upgraded the version of the Charles Tytler interface. I find now that I have to open DCS BIOS and enable the network part for it to interface with the modules I am not saying this is your problem, but it is what I have to do

@frostycabYou have the Export Script for the AH-64D in the correct place?

@ctytlerI can confirm, that on my PC at least, I have to start DCS BIOS and enable network access, to be able to use my StreamDeck XL and the whole Device ID & Command ID part of your great interface (no sarcasm intended I assure you, I love your interface) Willing to try anything or test whatever you want, if it will be of help to you. I will try to respond quicker, I have just had a couple of manic days Toni

I have found that of late, I have to manually start DCS BIOS and enable of network, or the StreamDeck Interface does not work at all. Even with my Full F/A-18C profile, won't work, I just get exclamation marks unless I manually load the DCS BIOS program and reconfigure it every time after a restart of my main DCS Rig

Firstly, the parking brake is released Baldrick, I have flicked that switch, and in doing so, the light went red, from green, but it the sim, it appears as though there was only one axis, which only worked as a slider, there was no rudder capabilities, no left pedal recognition Car Mode Flight Mode Both of the above options were 'at rest' information e.g. no pedals pressed, just as they are when not in use, so to speak Thank you Baldrick for continuing to try and assist me with this. I truly appreciate the efforts you are making Toni

I have just looked through the following page and can see no option of what you asked, although to be honest I am not entirely sure if it would jump out at me https://www.thrustmaster.com/en-ie/products/t-flight-rudder-pedals/ Toni

This is with both pedals at rest

I changed it to a slider and confirmed inverted, as I had already inverted them anyway, but here is the how they are, only showing the right pedal here At rest Full depressed Same Result What next do you think. The same is for the Left pedal Toni

Thanks Baldrick I will give that a go Toni Ps. Do you still have the bullet with your name on it so you don't ever get shot by it

Hi Sarge, Apart from the keyboard, there is nothing mapped to the brakes at all, and I am certainly not pressing those keys

Hi All, I have calibrated my pedals using the TM Calibration Tool. I have customized the controller in game so that each wheel brake is on the associated pedal axis. In the Axis assignment, there is no sign of the being engaged So, no Pedal Press Full Pedal Press And yet when on the tarmac and trying to taxi, this is the result of the controls indicators It is the two low marks in orange that I think are causing the issue So the Apache, just sort of stutters forward, kind of like kangerooing on a car with a clutch and a new driver Any ideas? Thank you Toni

When I try to do training mission 4 - 30mm, I can't get the cursor to move at all. It was the first time in the CPG. Seems to work fine in the Pilot seat, but will not move in the CPG and just remains towards the bottom left of the left MPD So can't do that mission at all, not fired a single round from her yet, although in saying that, I am not too bothered as most of the time I would rather fly, but it would be nice to at least have the option Toni Carrera One additional thing, I have it set to the modded stick i have on my Warthog Throttle, which also has a depress, what am I supposed to set the 'Depress' for?

Hi Cerulean, I had exactly same issue on day 1 of release, perfectly fine in all other mods, but the Apache was like looking a bunch of photographs. I logged a case with support, and here is what they told me to do, and it worked for me, been perfect ever since; By the way, before I post their response, check your system memory usage in Task Manager when in the Apache, mine was 100% of 32GB. Anyway, here is the support thread; Toni Carrera 03/19/2022 17:37:07 Quote System Monitor Log.blg (1.38 Mb) Game problems with DCS World and installed modules I run Repair option (for Steam: Verify Integrity of Game Cache), but it did not help Yes Module Other or new Game version DCS World Open Beta 2.7.x Your version installed from: DCS site PC specs Intel® Core™ i7-5820K 12 Core Processor, 32GB RAM, 1 x 500GB SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD, 1 x 1TB SSD 4 x 4TB Western Digital Mechanical. 2 x ASUS GTX 1080's SLI, ASUS 29" Ultrawide flanked by 2 x 22" IPS Monitors Message Hi Support, I have tried without SLI as you suggested, it made no difference One thing I have noticed is the amount of RAM usage goes through the roof when loading up the AH-64D I ran perfmon and ran two tests, both in OpenBeta 1. Ran the cold start training for the F/A-18C and my RAM usage, of which I have 32GB, went up to about 67% 2. Ran the cold start training for the AH-64D and my RAM usage immediately went to 98 to 99% When I 'End Tasked' the DCS session, my RAM usage down to 26% I repeated the test fr om a clean restart of the system, and the results were the same, I even loaded up a few other Training Scenarios for other aircraft I own, all the F's series fighters, all of which went to about mid 60's to low 70s % I suspect there maybe a memory leak somewhere within the AH-64D code that is only more evident on certain systems. I am going to log this support, as I have been waiting for months for this module, money laid out as soon as it was available for pre-order, downloaded as soon as I knew it was out, booked 3 weeks Annual Leave, and not managed to log a single minute of being in control. I can't even push the ESC button to get out of the module I am not sure wh ere to get whatever logs you require. I have attached the perfmon log I ran with the first test. The perfmon starts when I select the first F/A-18C training (Cold Start) and then on to the Cold Start for the Apache Toni Toni Carrera 03/19/2022 18:03:43 Quote Logs.7z (15.8 Kb) Not sure why, but these logs were in the DCS Stable Logs, and not in the OpenBeta Saved Games Konstantin Kharin 03/19/2022 19:18:09 Quote Hello.

Hi All, I am no novice when it comes to programming the Stream Deck XL using the Charles Tytler DCS Interface. For my F/A-18C full profile, I only used direct interface with Device IDs and Commands IDs, no keyboard shortcuts I am however having an issue programming the AH-64D. For now I am only programming the Pilot element of it. The whole keyboard part works fine, however, the MPD/MFD & EUFD just will not accept any input at all. I have ensured that I have selected the Pilot Inputs, as appose to the CPG's, based on the attached provided under a different thread Would anyone mind checking this profile and see if it works on their config, and whether perhaps I am just doing something stupid, or too close to the problem to see the glaring error, I have only coded the following folders within the attached profile, LEFT MPD, ENHCD UFD & RIGHT MPD Thank you Toni Carrera TC-AH-64D-01.streamDeckProfile AH-64D-clickabledata-01.xlsx

Hi All, Obviously for the top left overlay for controls, RCTRL + Enter. How do I get the overlay in the Top Right and whatever that shows. I saw it in all of the Wags videos for the Apache, and Wags confirmed that it would be available This is what I am referring to

@NineLine I have raised a ticket and provided additional Logs and PerfMon data Ticket # 124252 Thank you Toni
