some stuff here maybe worth investigation: https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/48783-Encoder-Acceleration-help but geting that to work in a 4-encoder matrix may be beyond my current powers

its ok, finally sorted thx, s'thing in the saved games folder corrupted, as per aceviper advice, now working, though to be safe I had to scrap entire saved games folder and all the setting s so its back to remapping all the keys & settings from scratch, but at least its running again.

SO I put together a couple of button boxes with switches adn rotary encoders. All works finer but Id like to use the rotary encoder to control course and heading in F-18. Trouble is, one complete turn of the encoder only moves the heading 1 or 2 degrees. How can I get the resolution to be a lot coarser?

Ive been playing DCS since Jan so yes it meets min specs. 2nd reinstall and new saved games folder has allowed it to run, now Im just re-downloading all my modules. Should be done sometime next week. What is GPU scheduling?

Since yesterday evening DCS refused to run, all I get is a black window on the screen, then it just sits there, nothing happens. I removed DCS Openbeta last night and did a fresh install but no luck, exactly same thing happens. It wont run any more. The black window just sits there all the time. Any ideas?

Go get the Edge 340, it has a built-in MP3 player and you can upload your own playlists

IRL its normally down to wind direction but the tower should advise recommended approach

Whats this got to do with livery/skinning?

Impportant - any reports about hiots on frame rate for this map? Channel is not playable in MP for low to average PC's

E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\Textures\Cockpit-Ka-50_3_textures.zip

I never tried mine on red mode, but seems to be pretty stable and allows enough rotation

I think this template has no mesh layer on it? Is there one available with the mesh so you can accurately wrap textures from one panel to the next?

Helmet ring displacement setting: I did a search for info on this setting in DCS but found nothing, what does this do and how does it function? Is it for tuning in the sight position with your track-ir? What do you have yours set to?

Did you sandpaper the LEDs? I found it helped a lot to make it more omni-drectional, just to rough oup the LED surface to a light cloudy matt, then some decent curves which took ages to get 'just right'

this is really great work, you got skillz !

dcs update / repair resets all default luas to...err...default. ive had to redo all my master switches. Question is, can these files be put into saved games/dcsopenbeta and still work ok, to avoid being overwritten again in the future?

My bad-the info to edit is not dcs lua but in E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Input\ka-50\joystick\default.lua file. (Obv. example for KA-50 module) The Teensy board (and Micro Pro) are tiny, 35 x 18mm so should give you no issues with limited space. The coding works using a button matrix, so if you want 32 switches you dont need 32 separate wires and one ground, you arrange the switches in rows and columns like a keyboard is wired, 6 columns and 5 rows gives you 30 buttons and you only need a wire for each row and each column; 6 + 5 = 11. The youtube build video explains it really well.

doesnt F8 give you the target view? May need to have aircraft locked up first?

Yes its a really slow descent, easier just to push collective down. I assume it will only work while in a stationary hover then, no forward or sideways velocity?

Ah ok thanks, so when you release the switch it stays at the current altitude? And does it only work when in a stationary autohover?

No struggle - what a twisted poll!

Well said, I'm with you on that. More than enough to fix with existing content.

Looking for some info/tuorials or explanations about the descend mode switch on the collective, how to implement, what it does (I'm assuming a controlled descent for landing) and how to use it. Currently pressing D just springs the switch back up to centre position again.

just google capt zeen helios f-18

Theres a free flight option in quickstart for nearly every aircraft.
