Back to work on Ka50 cockpit

[Jocman]

Hi all.

After long (long long....) time, I'm back working on my Ka50 cockpit.

When I stopped my work, I was working on programming via LUA and SIOC my OpenCockpit cards (the software side was at 90 %)

In these last years, DCS BIOS is born, and as I red it has lot of possibility more than the OC system, so I'm quite tempted to restart (sigh) with it.

Maybe I'll keep only the LED management with the OC card.

 

 

It worths to switch to DCS BIOS? There should be a little bit difficult to someone without programming skills due the need to implement devices (such segment display and so on) and build a working RS487 network.

 

 

At the time of my last work on DCS, I was using the vers. 1 patched.

BTW, even if I left the project and the simulation for so long time, I got BS2 (but never installed) when it was in pre-order.

 

 

Now, considering that the vers 2 must have lot of better features (or not?), I don't know if the core structure is changed so to defeat all my past efforts to understand LUA and program the OC cards: will they work with BS2?

If not, the obvious answer to the first question could be YES (as I should restart all)

Jocman. Double post here, you should open a dedicated thread for your home cockpit built. Anyway, contact simulatoregp. He's italian and built the most amazing Ka50 pit I have ever seen (including mine).

Cheers.

Well BaD,not really double post.

Here i asked some info about dcs-bios, and there for the monitor.

Actually,there's already my post about the making of my cockpit,but it's very old,don't know if it is allowed to reopen (or better keep writing) the old one. Most forum don't like to rescue old post, but if not a problem to the community,i'll keep writing the old one (so i continue the story....)
