FitzZZ Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) After a long, long time just being a "taker" of the community, let me give something back: -- DCS Configuration Manager -- What's this? The DCS Configuration Manager was created to make the tough DCS life a little easier and help you with those pesky configuration files! The goal was to make you interact with the app itself as little as possible, as noone likes more overhead before you can go fly your sortie! Use it once, set everything up - done! It is of course 2.5 compatible. Features: - Shared, single-instance control mappings! Links your control settings of all your DCS instances to just one. No more import/export when you changed your mappings and switch from 1.5 to 2.0! (or to beta, or any direction really). - VR configuration management! Don't own a GeForce 1280ti yet? Need to turn down you GFX to play VR every time and switch it back later? Now you can change between VR and non-VR configurations with just one click in the app. Don't want to start the app? Let it create shortcuts for you, so you can directly launch the right version with the right configuration! - New in R4: Sound device switcher for VR users! Users of VR headsets like the Oculus usually have to change sound output und input devices manually before starting DCS. The app now allows you to select what you want to switch to when you use the VR shortcut! Know what's even better? It will switch back to what it was when you started the game! Neat, right? - Updater! Starting the app will also check for updates, so you don't miss out on new features. Doesn't happen when you use the app created shortcuts, though. DCS startup times are long enough... Things to note: - Windows 10 SmartScreen will not trust it in the early weeks of release (until I know how to stop it from ignoring the certificate when downloaded from the internet) - If you're really paranoid (and I won't blame you for that), grab the source, check the code and compile it yourself. Download over this way: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager/raw/master/DCS-ConfigMgmt/Installer/DCSCM-Setup.zip Source and more details here: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager I hope this will make your DCS life a tiny bit easier. Feel free to suggest additions (lootcrates anyone? :joystick:). Do note that I have tested this with fellow pilots, but it is probable that there are still a few bugs there. So don't go blue on blue on me and post an issue on the GitHub project page, thanks :-) Cheers, FitzZZ Edited February 17, 2018 by FitzZZ 3 Check out the DCS Configuration Manager for controls, settings VR and sound device management!

FitzZZ Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 really nice tool! Could you make the tool not limited to release, ob, and oa, but detects all DCS.xxx under saved game? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I could, yet given that this is an edge case and I didn't at all prepare for this, it would take quite some time to rewrite. So unless there's bigger demand within the community I'd put it on the issuelist as a enhancement item for later. Thanks for the feedback!

FitzZZ Posted November 6, 2017 Author Posted November 6, 2017 I have attached the log file detail which appeared in the error message Thanks dude. I don't really know what goes wrong here, as it seems to be connected to my deployment method. Please try the "portable" version I made for you here: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager/releases/download/R2/Release-Portable-R2.zip Unzip into any directory and run the .exe from there and see if it works for you then. Note that the updater won't work that way. Cheers Check out the DCS Configuration Manager for controls, settings VR and sound device management!

FitzZZ Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 Updated to R3 - Added logging in %localappdata%\dcsconfmgr\dcscm.log - More forgiving handling when options.lua isn't where it should be - it will basically just disable that instance for yo but you'll still able to start the application - Fixed spelling error for shortcuts Check out the DCS Configuration Manager for controls, settings VR and sound device management!

Today, I downloaded your latest version and attached is the error log. Why does the portable one work and not the regular version? Just to be sure here: did you download the zip, unpacked it and then ran setup.exe? (should be two files in the directory) Also: did you use this link: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager/raw/master/DCS-ConfigMgmt/Installer/DCSCM-Setup.zip ? I took another look at your log and the paths in there looked strange - so I want to cover the basics first :) Cheers Check out the DCS Configuration Manager for controls, settings VR and sound device management!

FitzZZ Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 Nice usage of caps there, bud. If the "YES" was for both my initial questions, then I don't know what's going wrong, the log doesn't give me any clue unfortunately.

FitzZZ Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 Hi I couldn't workout how to add an attachment to a private message so I have posted it :) Thanks Cheers mate, looks like the initial preparation when the tool was first started failed for some reason and didn't copy the configs (that's why the errors came). Can't seem to see why though :-( It's one of those edge cases I wasn't able to reproduce when testing the tool I guess. As you said in the PM resetting the tool via the slightly hidden butten on the main page helped, the second try seemed to have worked. Hope it works well now. o/ Check out the DCS Configuration Manager for controls, settings VR and sound device management!

hansangb Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 FitzZZ, Question for you. Whenever I fire this up, (just downloaded it), it connects to numpy.org. I'm assuming you used python and numpy? hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
soupyc Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 This is fantastic! One question, is there any way to make the sound switcher work without being tied to VR? I have two outputs and sometimes want to use one, sometimes the other, but do not use VR. Thanks!
