Forgive my ignorance. Where exactly do I update this and do I need to update the TARGET software too for some reason?

 

I found .lua files for the F-86 in drive:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-86\Input\F-86F\joystick

(Joystick - HOTAS Warthog.lua,

Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua,

default.lua,

CH PRO BEDALS USB.lua

and for some reason SideWinder Force Feedback 2Joystick.lua)

Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua,

default.lua,

CH PRO BEDALS USB.lua

and for some reason SideWinder Force Feedback 2Joystick.lua)

 

The code is placed in the default.lua, located in that folder, down near the bottom of the button entries. Paste it in a blank line directly above:

},

-- joystick axes

axisCommands = {

 

I'm not sure that it has been fixed or not, but I noticed a problem with the code in the spoiler tag having line breaks added into random places by the forum because it's so long. Pasting the code with those line breaks causes the scheme to fail entirely. I've been meaning to replace the spoiler tag with just the code in a text file to avoid that glitch.

 

Use the text in the attached file instead. I will be including this in the zipped control scheme file once I get around to updating the F-86 entry.

add to default.lua

I've been making cards for my Cougar MFDs for every plane in DCS:W/FC3 and wanted to share a couple here (mainly to ask if I got anything wrong on the German ones). If there is interest I'll upload the rest. I've made a set for every released ASM vehicle. To use: print the files out with a width of 109-110mm and cut to fit the MFD's card holder. I got the best results with semi-gloss photo paper.

If anyone actually knows German and could tell me if I have anything completely wrong on the cards for the German planes, it would be great to know what to change to make the cards correct.

 

Edit: Files moved to attachments so the post isn't ginormous.

Edit 2: Corrected the Fw-190D and Bf-109 cards; added Helicopters and Jets.

Edit 3: Fixed error in F-86 Cards

Edit 4: Added Rocket Sight Adjustment Table (translated) to Mi-8 cards.

Edit 5: Copied Radio Charts from Mig-21 cockpit onto the cards for easier reference. (They are not translated)

Edit 6: Ka-50 Rocket Correction Table added to the corresponding cards.

Edit 7: Long overdue, this one. Correctd Fw-190D circuit breaker typo; Revised F-86F's left card to be more useful (rockets and bomb controls are on the bottom row instead of the less-used gun select); MiG-15bis cards created.

Edit 8: Revised the F-86 Right card to make caging and uncaging the sight easier to perform without looking by using the rocker in the corner.

Edit 9: Bf-109K4 cards edited for typos

Edit 10: Links to control profiles added to OP for most cards.

Edit 11: Su-27 card added with control profile.

 

Dumb question alert: Where do I extract these to, so I can print them out, and is there some part of this that goes in the aircraft files (LUAs?)

 

Thanks,

The cards as they are posted should be printed at a width of 109 to 110mm (~4.333 inches). I usually use Photoshop so that I can get the right size, but recently, I have been toying with putting bleeds onto the print so that I'd have a little leeway. Previous to that I was being extremely careful with a rotary cutter, then trimming the bottom corners against either the plastic covers or using one of the cards that came with the set. Even with all that care, I was often either cutting too small or leaving white around the edges forcing me to waste (expensive) photo stock on another attempt.

 

On the MiG-15, as an experiment, I internally made versions with a 3mm bleed. This means each is now printed with a width of 115-116mm (~4.53 inches). It has alleviated the hassle of getting the cuts precisely at the edge of the ink, but it is not something I plan on retroactively adding into the older cards at this time unless it truly fixes the problem.

 

I had also thought about creating a single pdf with both cards on a single page, but haven't really figured out a good way to do that and get it the right size yet. PDFs in theory would be better for this sort of thing: they can be set to a fixed size in the file for easier printing, but I want to get it right without wasting too much more paper in the process. In hindsight, I should have made these cards in inDesign or Illustrator instead of Photoshop.

 

I've attached the versions of the MiG-15 cards with the bleed zone to this post. If something like this will make it easier to print out at the right size for the other cards, let me know. Otherwise, if a pdf version of the cards sounds better, I can experiment with a few ideas on creating them as pdfs. If neither of those solutions works for you, I can try to figure out something else that would work with programs built into Windows.

Thanks for it, but could you help with an English version too? Thx again!
