MOTION PLATFORM FOR DCS

[deskoilot]

I recently setup my KA-50 BS Pit that I built on a motion platform using Sims Tools for my motion. I am using two computers with a crossover cable . All is good when I patch FSX (game and motion, however no so when I patch DCS, (game and NO motion). When patching DCS the patch message says to patch (edit path) C:\user\user name\saved games\DCS. I do this and the message says patch installed. game works but no motion. Has anyone had any experience with this problem before? If so please respond. I need HELP.

 

Thank You

Without knowing anything about the software that drives your motion platform, it is impossible to even guess where the problem may be.

 

Have you checked dcs.log for error messages?

 

Have you tried contacting the vendor?

[deskoilot]

Yes to both The Sims Tools needs to have the game patched like this: C:\user\user name\saved games\DCS. It will not patch any other way. Is their some way I can change my path so that the game will boot from that path?

 

Thank You, Terry

I haven't used sim tools. Currently doing a build with x-sim. I believe the hook may need a workaround with dcs. The application you use to launch dcs is not the game executable. That is started when you launch a mission from within the dcs Ui.

 

I know with x-sim you have to fool it into connecting with dcs

 

Also this may be obvious but have you modified your export.lua script to get the motion data out of dcs? Could that be where your problem is.

I have not done any modifications on my export.lua scrip. Where and what needs to be done? My crash logs are attached.

Sorry as I said I haven't used sim tools yet. I'm still setting up with x-sim. You should have a look here.
