DCS-BIOS: Overview and Announcements

[Vinc_Vega]

@Simpit Solution:

1) Download the DCS-BIOS Nightly from https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios/releases/tag/latest

2) Go to the C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts directory and delete the DCS-BIOS folder and Export.lua

(edit: don't forget to backup your Export.lua) 

3) extract the content from the Nightly zip file into the C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts directory

Perfect! Thanks! Will try it!

Great! Problem solved! The reason was the script-folder I had temporarily deactived to test improvements to prevent the stuttering effect. Thanks again!!!

3V supply to the pot when it should be 5V?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the laser arm switch in the F-18

 

This switch is actually a magnetic switch.

Since I am using a normal (ON) - OFF switch for this, I would like to display the status of the switch via an LED.

So when the switch is in the armed position in the simulator, the LED should light up, even though my physical switch is back in the OFF position.

 

I already implemented this a few years ago in a button box.

There was the DCS BIOS prompt:

DcsBios::LED ltdRArm(0x74c4, 0x0100, PIN);

This call no longer exists in the current DCS BIOS version from Skunkworks!

 

Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this?

There is basically the prompt:

DcsBios::LED ltdRSw(FA_18C_hornet_LTD_R_SW_AM, PIN);

However, I cannot use this in the same sketch because it addresses the same function.

OK ChatGPT had the solution:

How to fix it

You need to give each object a unique name. For example:

DcsBios::LED ltdRSwLed(FA_18C_hornet_LTD_R_SW_AM, 7); // LED output

DcsBios::Switch2Pos ltdRSwSwitch("LTD_R_SW", 8); // switch input

Now you have one LED object (ltdRSwLed) and one switch object (ltdRSwSwitch), no conflict.
