I'm trying to map the 3-way gun pod switch to a button box, bindings dont seem to work. Switch just stays in the middle. It's the inner 800/outer 800/624/622 mode switch. Any ideas? {combos = {{key = 'O'}}, down = device_commands.Button_59, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('800 or 624-622-800 Switch - 800/624-622-800'), category = {_('Left Overhead Panel'), _('Armament System')}}, { down = device_commands.Button_41, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYS, value_down = 1, name = _('800 or 624-622-800 Switch - 800'), category = {_('Left Overhead Panel'), _('Armament System')}}, { down = device_commands.Button_41, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYS, value_down = 0, name = _('800 or 624-622-800 Switch - 624-622-800'), This is from the default keyboard control lua, but this controls the otehr up/down switches, theres no mention of the 3-way switch to select canon type.

\ (backslash) not working on the ground for me

ok will try that [edit] mods uninstalled and seems to have solved the issue - thanks - wasted 6 hrs last night trying to sort !

getting spat out to desktop every time i try selecting a role in multiplayer servers

ok files deleted, repair run, still getting booted back to desktop when i join mp server. dcs.log

no didnt touch the files, servers already updated, squadron pals also updated and are joining ok, just seems to be a local issue with my pc

Since the update today i cannot join any multiplayer server. It shows me the server list, it connects to a server, loads up then shows me the multiplayer 'select role' screen then it crashed out to my desktop. Single player seems to work fine. I tried backing up to previous version but it said access violation, some files could not be deleted. It tried to delete a load of AV8b files when i was installing the update but it said it could not access them, and i dont have the av8b.

For me, other than the fact that none of my family contracted the virus, it was ED releasing every unit for people to try, for free, for a month. Its also a great technique to hook people on to the modules they really like but may not have bought without the free period being available. It tempted me to buy 3 modules I would otherwise not have bothered with.

Is that the default Georgian oil war? ATO-A-p7-1?

I start with a google image search for RAAF Decals. That should give you everything you need!

thx - confirmed, in hindsight its that simple, just follow the other heli!

Downloaded the 'fixed' deployment campaign for the KA-50 but running the 1st mission - familiarisation, if i follow the spoken instructions i end up way off course and never get to complete the mission, if i just use nav to go to the preprogrammed waypoints it takes me on different headings to the instructions and mission never completes. Any suggestions?

Thanks - will give that a try! Just need to edit it to check 4 rotaries in a loop

Thx Flappie, while this reports 7 pages of people having same problem, the thread I saw had someone with a really good solution editing the default.lua and it solved it.

This just sends out 2 signals as keypresses instead of one to DCS, in effect getting the knob to rotate 2 click instead of one. Fine for some knobs like cockpit illumination, instrument brightness, etc, but then knobs like hornet radio channel select will miss out every other channel.

From Longuich: "..so what an encoder does is add or subtract (usually) 4 from what its current values is. Hence the equation to see whether you're turning it clockwise or counterclockwise. if I'm reading it all correctly you just get a 1 or 0 for the left and right pins on the encoders. there's no way to make those values more.. unless you tell the script to press "turn left" or "turn right" twice. if (result == DIR_CCW) { Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 0); }; if (result == DIR_CW) { Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 0); }; this here turns the joystick button press on and or off. I'm missing the part where all joystickbutton states are sent to the computer. could you try and see what happens if you change the code to: if (result == DIR_CCW) { Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 0); Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.ccwchar, 0); }; if (result == DIR_CW) { Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 0); Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.button(rotaries.cwchar, 0); };

Sometimes I'm playing DCS without the headphones and head tracker running - after a minute or two the PC suddenly realises trackIR is not active and stutters briefly; There was a post here a few months back that had an edit for one of the config files to solve this stutter. It worked really well, but I lost it during a re-install. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It just pauses a second or two when flying and realising trackIR may not be running/connected.

Suntsag has a few tutorial videos on his channel about setting up AI jtacs in a mission https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnMdglLzp7KBkLiaNiq9N-Q/videos

do you mean pre-planned target co-ordinates? FLIR is for targets of opportunity. Loadout can be selected in the airbase via comms menu - ground crew - rearm/refuel

That would be pretty low down on my priority list, I'd rather they sorted the bugs in the models we can fly first before updating some AI cosmetics.
