JG14_Smil Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Rear seat "RV-5 warning flag" now works correctly. RV-5 altitude pointer works correctly with flight data. RV-5 Index setting does not respond to rear seat adjustment using the mouse-over cockpit knob in DCS. (minimum safe alt adjustment) HSI needles and pointers are now working correctly with flight data. HSI Command Course pointer does not respond to adjustment using the rear seat mouse-over cockpit knob in DCS. No hurries or worries about anything... just a bug report.

JG14_Smil Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I did a proper re-naming instead of a quick test and all bugs are fixed. L-39C file is all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavilan_cl Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hello Can someone please give me some updates related to this? Thanks. Hi Micha Is ti possible to use Ikarus with F-16C? I have made a little reseatch here but I have nothing. Thanks for your help Best regards Gavilan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-J-P Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yes I can ... I started with the F-16. Next week I will start with the animation of the instruments. Afterwards with the calibration. So it will still take some time. Then I will create the front panel. This is the roadmap.

JG14_Smil Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hello, I found one last issue with the L-39C.Ikarus file: Instrument Name "ZDV30" Class "L39_ZDV30", Instrument function Instance 24. Output was "0,10" and gauge did not work correctly. I entered the range of the gauge "64.0,79.0" and I have it working correctly, but the gauge moves more than one degree notch at a time. "64.0" is accurate, but "76.0"(DCS gauge) actually reads "76.12" (Ikarus gauge). Each notch on the gauge adds a little more error each time, and thus subtracts it in the other direction. I could not affect this by editing Input numbers. It is an important gauge as it set's the altitude of the landing airfield into the RSBN glideslope. Just thought I would let you know.

Fakum Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I have not tried Ikarus for a year or more. I did struggle with its implementation and eventually gave up. I recently searched YouTube for a basic installation/configuration tutorial, but did not find one. Is there one available somewhere?

Goldwolf Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I posted a noobie guide on Reddit. I had problems at first but was able to get it working! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMicha Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks Goldwolf for your guide on Redit. The described problem with Ikarus is that you downloaded Ikarus from the wrong source. The official download is here, then the description in the wiki also fits.(the other one is the development version) There is also a wiki for the ExportScript with the installation explanation. Including a note on how to proceed if you already have an Export.lua file. You are welcome to check if you could have done a better installation with the hints. We would be happy about feedback.

Fakum Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Goldwolf, I am slowing picking at the pieces to get this installed and running. In addition to the Ikarus instructions, I am reading yours as well in an attempt to merge the instructions together, so I get a proper install. In your REDDIT instructions, you state that you basically used the export.lua from the Ikarus files. So far, I understand that, then you go on to state the section I have highlighted with red letters, which I don’t follow. Can you elaborate further? Thanks. Part 2 - Export.lua After I could finally see the dials/panels etc for Ikarus, I started up DCS and none of the dials worked or updated. I updated the Export.lua as outlined (adding the code to it) but it did not work, so I backed up my old Export.lua and used the one from the download. This fixed it and now the dials updated correctly in DCS. I dont know why this made a difference, but it did. Also be sure to add the same export.lua and /DCS-ExportScript/ to the open.beta folder if you have one (in case that helps).

Goldwolf Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi Fakum, I added that line just in case on your computer you have a separate DCS open beta folder. If you are seeing the aircraft dials in Ikarus, try using an aircraft in DCS and see if the dials in Ikarus correctly correlate to those in DCS. If they dont, its probably an issue with the Export.lua. I hope that helps! Once its up and running, its a great program and works really well for me.

Fakum Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I only have the DCS folders created by the install,,, the one in the Programs folder, and the other in the Users/Saved games folder. I have not yet initiated Ikarus yet, I just started installing the files per all of the instructions I can find so far. I will continue work on it tonight and report back.

McMicha Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I refer again to the wikis of the respective programs, these contain extensive instructions. (Wiki Ikarus, Wiki DCS ExportScript) Please read this first and if you have any questions, please ask. You are also welcome to make suggestions for improvement of the documentation, because the whole thing depends on the participation of the users.

Fakum Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I have been reading, also, some of the wiki info had broken links. Also, I could not find any navigation info to find the Ikarus.exe file?

McMicha Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 That's right, all types of viewports are created via the Viewport settings in the monitor configuration by DCS World. We have not described this in our documentation because it is part of DCS World. PS: @Fakum: I have fixed the broken links in the documentation.

Currently, you have provided the following links: https://github.com/s-d-a/DAC https://github.com/s-d-a/Ikarus https://github.com/s-d-a/DCS-ExportScripts Can you please add the Ikarus.exe file link that Goldwolf mentioned in his REDDIT guide (See Below Part 1)? I cant seem to navigate to it from your github file structure? I have not found any mention of its need in your current installation instructions either?

Fakum Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Sorry for any confusion JG14 Smil, I am not looking for where it is located within any file structure, I was asking for a link to DOWnLOAD the "Ikarus.exe" file as it is NOT incorporated in the Ikarus program file that you downloaded. It is a separate file that must be placed in "Per REDDIT Guide": Part 1 - Ikarus.exe The downloads above do not include the ikarus.exe file. You have to download it also. It can be found here. If you follow the instructions, you will install the Ikarus software (not ikarus.exe) into C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\ikarus. You will also update the scripts folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\ with the export.lua in the files and add a new folder here /DCS-ExportScript/. The ikarus.exe HAS to be in the ikarus folder with all of the aircraft in it.
