Wedge Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I am seriously considering one of these... I assume that for those with zero programming knowledge, it is still able to be used as a button box with multiple layers/folders to support different airframes? Is it possible for a simple bloke like me to use simply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranma13 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Most likely yes if you're binding to controls that have a binding in the controls configurator. The official software has support for multiple profiles, folders, and now support for modifier keys on different sides of the keyboard (i.e. LAlt vs RAlt), but there are controls that DCS doesn't support through the controls configurator that are supported in DCS BIOS. DCS BIOS also allows for two-way communication (like changing the image on the Stream Deck when the state of the aircraft changes), whereas the official Stream Deck software can only send keyboard presses. If you only want to emulate a keyboard or button box, then I suspect you'll be perfectly happy with the Stream Deck, but if you want the two-way communication, then you'll need some programming knowledge (at least for now).

Wedge Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thank you Ranma13, any suggestions on where to start learning some programming requirements to go to the next level with the stream deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranma13 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 My Ka-50 project is a good place to start off with. I structured it in a way where it should be relatively easy to add new images and controls just by copying and pasting what's already there: https://github.com/danieltian/dcs-stream-deck-ka50/blob/master/index.js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thank you.... It is all looking out of my league at the moment. Looks like it will be a button box for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arturojgt Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi guys. I have my brand new stream deck (SD), can some of you put an actualized guide on how to extract the buttons and switch state and show them in the SD? The two way comm with the sim.

arturojgt Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Is this gadget working with a AB8B? It seems that DCS bios do not work with this plane.

tea_cypher Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I use it with av8b but only as a button box, although with the macro effect I have set up a near one press start up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does but I have found the Win keys do not seem to be recognised as modifiers, so any command / control with a Win key I reset to use another modifier.

Ro_Bert Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Got one of these for cheap and tried it out, eventually got it working, so I'm happy. Wasn't exactly a walk in the park for me, but works well now. Thanks and good job doing all this, tried to wrap my head around it a bit but thats a bit much for me.

KelGun Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It does but I have found the Win keys do not seem to be recognised as modifiers, so any command / control with a Win key I reset to use another modifier. I'm trying to map kneeboard on and off, but cant get it to differentiate the right shift. I just get shift. Any advice on how to make that happen? Also, were you able to get the Win key to work?

Any advice on how to make that happen? Also, were you able to get the Win key to work? KelGun if you look at my picture in my previous post the arrow points at the drop down menu icon, and then in the second pic you will see the option of differentiating the shift /cntrl/alt modifiers keys. And no I have stopped using the "Win" key.

Strut Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Anyone having problems with DCS not recognising Stream Deck key presses ? Im using Voiceattack/Viacom, Jetseat. It was working a couple of days ago, but doesnt work now. I have tried deleting save games and start with fresh settings, no joy. I have tested the Stream deck with a key board tester and it definitely works. Its got me stumped ....

Strut Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Been testing and tinkering all day, and my conclusion is that when using Viacom/Voice attack dont change keyboard settings because this will cause kaos with the stream deck and you wont get it to work as you would like. The reason I changed settings was because the Windows keys did not seem to function correctly as modifiers so I changed them and as a consequence threw out Viacom , Jester AI etc. Best to leave alone for now !! :music_whistling::doh: Regards DL available skins here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Strut Pictures of my Skins here: https://imgur.com/a/bOQyQqW [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64bit, Intel® Core i7-5820K CPU OC @ 4.50GHz x6, X99A GAMING PRO CARBON, MSI RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO 11Gb, 32GB DDR4 RAM, SSD 960 EVO250GB, SSD 850 EVO 500GB, JetSeat, MFG Crosswind Pedals, VPC Mongoose T-50, TMWH, DSD ButtonBox, Pimax 5k XR/BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I formatted my pc, fresh install and testing now. I will let you known about how is working. I had not voice attack and Viacom installed when this happened.
