As some might have noticed, ArturDCS has added DCSFP support for the Logitech Heavy, or Farming, Equipment Side Panel.  Even though this panel can be programmed directly in DCS, the ability to use DCS

Code update   Hi   Firstly, please let me say a HUGE thank you to ArturDCS & pdmarsh for this app, and for supporting it for so long.   I'm going to use it for DCS, but I also wanted to use it

Hey everyone,     I've seen a few templates floating around for the Switch Panel (PZ55) that allow you to create your own custom panel cover for labeling purposes. However, I had trouble getting any

This seems like a problem others too have configuring the Warthog modifier switches for example.

Weird that they haven't patched it.

 

I have successfully used this program to use my PZ255 with IL2 Cliffs of Dover but in BoS it will not send multiple key captures i.e. vk LCTRL-H. When mapping in BoS I just get "H" sent or picked up by BoS. I have tried adding time delays with no success.

 

Any ideas?

Great program by the way. I was worried I spent $100+ on a brick.

Thanks

Hey there, I have a problem with DCS FlightPanels. I have a TPM so I'm using only the key emulator.

Last time I set up the profile for the Harrier it was running fine. Today I have a weird issue: basically the window's focus is always taken by the Log listbox, so I can't open menus or set up new keybinds. Whatever key a press on the keyboard, it appers in the Log box.

If I press File, Options or Help the drop menu immediately disappears. Same if I left-click on any control text box. If I right click there I get two msgboxes with the following errors:

 

2081 Failed to locate which textbox is focused.

2061 Failed to locate which textbox is focused.

 

Honestly no idea what's the issue. I have tried updating DCS FP, reinstalling, restarting, unplugging other devices. In-game it works properly and seems to be a GUI's problem. Odd indeed.

Hi, I don't have the TPM but could you share your profile with pdmarsh?

 

DCSFP moves the focus to the listbox when switching on a panel (so that no virtual key presses are entered into configuration textboxes thus destroying (or adding) that textbox' settings.

I have no profile, I deleted it while looking for a solution (there are 9 buttons on the TPM, re-doing the profile it's not a big deal).

 

This is the content of an empty one, though (almost nothing but comments):

Also, DCS FP tries to connect to 192.30.253.117:443 every time I open it, is that normal?

I have update .net framework just in case but nothing has changed; is there anything else I might try to update?

Does this happens regardless what profile you configure? Even if the profile is empty?
Yep, I have tried running it as standard user or admin. No success unfortunately. I can quickly record my desktop to show you what happens if you want.

 

DCSFP connects to Github to check whether there is a new version available (192.30.253.117).
I imagined that :)

I think there's a memory leak somewhere.

I have tried to unplug and change the USB port, same issues.

Where do I find this option?

 

Speaking of DCS, I bought a new SSD two days ago and reinstalled both DCS Open Alpha and Beta. I don't remember defining it's location though.

 

EDIT: nvm, found it. I have managed to access the options by creating a new profile (anyone DCS bios based works 'cause I don't have it hence it stops the program). I have unchecked it but the issue persists.

 

EDIT2: I found the config files and deleted them. Still not working. This is my cfg at the moment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
   <configSections>
       <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >

       </sectionGroup>
   </configSections>
   <userSettings>

No worries mate, you've already a great job with this tool :)

 

So, I somehow managed to make it work this morning but it's not replicable: I've set up the BIOS, created a profile for the Ka-50 and it wasn't working. I switched back to key emulator and it was working: I set up a new profile, assigned the keys and saved it. I then closed it, done the whole procedure again but it wasn't working anymore.

Anyway, with that profile I can use the TPM just fine.

Been looking at the code for the TPM and I can't figure it out why it is behaving like that.

Have you managed to get any understanding when it acts up and when not? Problem is that I don't own a TPM anymore, I gave it away to my regret. Are you familiar with Visual Studio? :D

 

I think there's a memory leak somewhere.

I have tried to unplug and change the USB port, same issues.
