pdmarsh Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 hi,does it support to dcs 2.0 now ? thanks . @hydrawind -- Flightpanels is working fine in 1.5 and I have seen other posts stating that it is working in 2.0 as well. You should be good to go. Paul [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCSFlightpanels - Utility for Saitek Pro Flight Panels for DCS World Custom Saitek B.I.P.

EntropySG Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, I just got the radio panel and am trying to use it with the A10C. I get the red digits and the wheel in the flightpanels control software page is rotating, which according to the manual means it reads data from DCS. However it does not seem to be communicating. The radio frequencies in game dont change when I use the saitek panel, and vice versa, when I change freq in game the panel won't update. Any idea what Im missing?

pdmarsh Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @EntropySG -- Just checking to be sure, but have you properly installed DCS-BIOS?

EntropySG Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, it works like a charm now! I had used the DCS Bios bundle from the link in the Saitek Panels manual. Maybe this is not the most up to date one, I grabbed DCS Bios again from here https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios/releases/tag/v0.4.2 and now it works. This is great thank you so much for this software, I love it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EntropySG Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Great news! Glad you got it working. Paul so after playing with it for a while, I must say this is beyond awesome. I dont have the space for a 'proper' homecockpit (read: wife would kill me) but the radio panel is a really cool addition and it works just great. In our wing, we fly with real ATC + JTACs , so we have to switch frequencies a lot the radio panel is just great for that [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooternutz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have installed and tried to program the switch panel. I can even see the commands that I have to enter for programming. DCS-Bios is in the users scripts folder. I just can't figure it out. I think I have seen every post on how to do this. Is there a doc for detailed instructions? This thread is so big now it is easy to get lost. Thank you!! Awesome work!

pdmarsh Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Still nothing. :( Hi Scooternutz, Let's start with the basics. Have you been able to get the Switch Panel to work as a keyboard emulator in DCS, meaning that you can configure the switches with simple key commands? I just want to be sure that Flightpanels is working at all. If it's working with key commands, I assume the problem you are having is configuring with DCS-BIOS commands, correct? If the above is where you are currently, I'll see if I can post some steps to get you working with DCS-BIOS.

Scooternutz Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I can use the keyboard emulation with no issues. I am having troubles getting the DCS-Bios working. I tab out to see if the little gear is spinning and it is not.

pdmarsh Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 @Scooternutz--I don't mean to presume that you did not follow these instructions, but here are the steps to take to install DCS-BIOS taken from DCS-BIOS documentation: _______________________________________________ Setting up DCS-BIOS 1.1 Download the latest release of DCS-BIOS from GitHub and extract the ZIP file somewhere on your hard drive 1.2 Open a new Explorer window (for example by opening "My Computer"), paste the following into the address bar and press return: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS This should take you to your DCS configuration folder (it has several subfolders including Logs and Missions). 1.3 If there is no Scripts subfolder in your Saved Games\DCS folder, create it. 1.4 Copy the Scripts\DCS-BIOS folder from the DCS-BIOS download to your Scripts folder. Note: Copy only the "DCS-BIOS" folder and its contents into the "Saved Games\DCS\Scripts" folder. These instructions might be misleading and you might end up with "Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Scripts\DCS-BIOS." 1.5 If you do not have an existing Export.lua file in your Scripts folder, copy Scripts\Export.lua from the DCS-BIOS download to your Scripts folder. Again, make sure that you do not duplicate the "Scripts" folder. 1.6 If you already have an Export.lua file, open it in a text editor (we recommend Notepad++) and append the following line to the end: dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]]) You should never use any word processing software to edit text files. Word processing software saves formatting information in the file which will render it unusable. _______________________________________________ If you have taken the above steps and still have problems, we'll continue to troubleshoot.

harf4ng Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't understand, why do you need this plugin for saitek TPM? I have it working without that, either by using saitek software, or more recently by modifying the default.lua of a plane to add new commands I could then apply to TPM buttons. Also, are you going to support saitek pro flight instrument panels as well?

Darkwolf Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 They are more advanced things you can do with the TPM with the saitek thing, such mapping switches per position.
