Pavespawn Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Guys, So I am trying to get self smarted on how DCS BIOS works and I am getting a little frustrated. I can make the one and only switch that I have programmed work in Alpha but when I try to use it in the 1.5.8 I get nothing at all. Not even information flowing in the cmd prompt. I thought at first it was the export.lua that was wrong but I have the dofile line in both. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance. Pebbles
Hansolo Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Do you have the DCS-BIOS folder including all the files in 1.5.8 saved games folder\DCS\Scripts? Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Pavespawn Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 All those files were there. I recopied from the working side to the non just to be sure. I got it to work for one go then it stopped again. I am wondering if Helios interferes with it? Helios would work on the opposite versions from DCS BIOS. I still use it for my touch screen. The Helios profile setup does replace the export lua but it doesn't do it every time does it?
Pavespawn Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 Ok, I have it working. My trouble shooting steps included swapping my existing Export lua for the one provided by DCS BIOS. It worked. So I assumed my export lua was corrupt. I swapped it for the Capt Zeen export lua and added the dofile. Didn't work on either version. So for whatever reason I decided to move the dofile to the very end of the export lua and bam, it worked. I don't know if everyone else already knew this bit of info but just in case, there you go.
