Hey guys, short question: i reinstalled DCS today and also the raygun.exe and so on. 
 

When the master warning light in the A-10 C II is lit and i press the button on the ufc to turn it off, the light on the buddy fox keeps flashing some while longer than the one in game. Is this supposed to be like this? 
i actually can‘t remember how it was before.

all other planes seem to work correctly.

Thank you very much!

do you use this device for other planes as well? like f-16. Since labelling can not be changed, is it hard to use for other planes?

I fly VR and it´s a bit tricky with airframes which don´t match the keypad pattern. Doable unless you swap airframes every other day like I do!!!
I have to admit I ended up buying a separate Hornet UFC and Viper ICP devices.

[ebabil]

wow looks like you bought everything

I have a tight budget and can afford only one ufc. I mostly fly with viper but I also have a10c, tomcat and bunch of helis. 

The other problem is, my desk's edge is completely covered with sticks and throttle. so if I get a viper icp, either i should put it to a side of the monitor to not to interfere with the screen.

since the buddy fox is very thin compare to viper's, 1st choice would be it though

Received it today, it's really nice !

Just to tell I have to disconnect it and reconnect it after computer startup. It will not be correctly detected (Hand in Raygun is red, until I disconnect & reconnect).

 

But after that, works fine (until next PC restart  ).

Is there a real solution for this yet? I have to do the same when restarting and it is really annoying.

 

Thanks!

In fact, I unplug it each time and replug it before use, with front usb port. That way, it's ok for me.

Gentlemen, I need help.  I purchased a 2nd hand buddy fox and Windows 11 sees it.  I made the lua scripts changes and copied everything to the correct folders.  Raygun works in DCS for the master caution light, I mapped the buttons in the control options and the buttons respond when pressed correctly.  But as soon as I go back to the live cockpit of the A-10C II, none of the buttons are responsive.   Only two buttons work and are button "4/JKL" which turns on nosewheel steering when pressed and button "5/MNO" that centers the view of the screen to center HUD.

I'm at a loss and can't figure it out.  I've flipped-flopped the lua line entry order back and forth and I've plugged the USB from my powered hub directly to the pc 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

Has anyone else ran across this issue?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

WOW!  I am just now finding this wonderful device.  Some 5 years after release.  Regardless, this is an instant purchase for me/Santa.  I see they are also working on Viper and Hornet versions.  Nice!

@Bamse I just received mine a few weeks ago, everything is great except for the DEPR down button, it does not work. I have tried reaching you through the contact us function on the product page two weeks in a row with different E-Mail addresses incase my first one was black listing your domain, (Becasue they do that for some dumb reason and I can not white list what they block). My order was placed on the 13th of October. If my e-mails did not go through, what is a better way to reach you. I hate to Necro a year old thread, but I don't see any other contact info available to reach you at.

Hello,

 

 

We made an A-10C UFC for sale.

 

 

It's a plug 'n play USB device, 35 backlit buttons with dimming and a working Master Caution light.

 

 

You can read more about it from www.buddy-fox.com

 

 

Is this still available? and how Do I order when the webpage appears to be down. Is it discontinued?

[Dauntless]

Site is back up! 

[Foka1]

Does it work in Windows 11 ?

Did you sort it out?

You need to programme the buttons for yourself.

[Jack Ice]

well I orderd UFC and Got it, Really Happy with it and it works.

I followed the instructions on Buddy-Fox page http://www.buddy-fox.com/raygun/

Any update to export lua, to support Heatblur's F-4?

Did someone figured out proper index for "Master Caution" animation argument?

[CaptPickguard]

Would also be very interested in an F-4 version.

[Mnemonic]

So, argument for Master Caution is 218

Add these lines to add to your DCS-raygun.lua, iside function RgProcessOutput() where the list of if/else statements:

    elseif   aircraft.Name == "F-4E-45MC" then
      RgArguments = {[218]="%.1f"}

should look like this:
 

function RgProcessOutput()
  -- local aircraft  = LoGetObjectById(LoGetPlayerPlaneId())  -- ne fonctionne pas online si server bloque data
  local aircraft = LoGetSelfData()

  if RgFindAircraft ~= true and  aircraft then
    if aircraft.Name == "FA-18C_hornet" then
      RgArguments = {[13]="%.1f"}
    elseif   aircraft.Name == "F-4E-45MC" then
      RgArguments = {[218]="%.1f"}

...

Or just use this DCS-raygun.lua, that should cover most of the aircraft in DCS, it was shared on this thread with many additions, I just added two lines for F-4E

DCS-raygun.lua
