The reset action is merely to put the all the current aircraft states back to the defaults as defined in the aircraft PP file concerned. As far as I understand, it's not possible to force (actively poll) DCS-BIOS to send all event updates to the plugin. The plugin can only passively 'listen' for events - it cannot 'ask' for update to any state. Hence, it is only useful in situation where you restart the same mission from a cold start. Ok thanks I totally missunderstand what was doing. I think that opening TP while simulation is unpaused you get an updated state of the aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hi guys I purchased the pro version of the tp Then I downloaded f16 icp and it works very good. But using Icp without looking at the ded screen is hard. Can I put ded screen to top of the tablet and use rest of the screen for icp?

Are you referring to the below download which was created before DCS-COINS came into existence? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308519/ If you are thinking of using another table in addition to your existing tablet with the F-16 ICP page, it is not currently possible. A Touch Portal desktop app does not support more than one device at a time, but according to its FAQ, that may change in the future. Hence, you can try to modify your copy of the F-16 ICP page to add the display of DED lines (buttons) - will require resizing the existing buttons to make space for new buttons. IMHO, it may be easier to create it from scratch, albeit it may not look that realistic unless you are good with graphics editing.

Yes, it's a plugin for Touch Portal. Check out pages # 3 and 5 for UFC for F-18C page screenshot, video and ready-to-use TP page by Marcos Paes. Similarly, the F-16 ICP can be supported.

xoomigo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I am still in the midst of doing the AH-64D dashboards. I may work on the F-16C ICP panel later - but I can offer no promises nor any timeline. Hopefully, someone who have done it may share it here soon.

xoomigo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 For those interested in TP pages for AH-64D, here's my sample of the keyboard unit (lumped together with other controls for filler). Pilot pages done. Starting on CP/G pages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoomigo Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I have hit a snag doing the Apache TEDAC panel. The Sight Select for TADS and horizontal control knob are not working with DCS-BIOS.

PHMAC Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Great work Xoomigo!...I really like the new Apache panels. I have created a Voice Attack command that switches to the correct panel automatically when I switch seats in game. I did notice a very small mistake in the CPG keyboard unit. On the "On Event" tab all events are linked to the Pilot instead of the CPG. It's not causing issues at all because the action is only cosmetic....and it would be a lot of work to correct because you would have to change every keyboard button seperatly...so don't worry about it. Thanks for this panel...I can imagine it was a lot of work to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHMAC Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 @xoomigo I’m trying to figure out if it would be possible to trigger an automatic switch to the pilot or cpg KU page as soon as there is the prompt is flashing on the KU scratchpad. For example: I’m in the Pilot seat with the Pilot left panel active on Touch Portal. I want to change the gun range from 1500 to 800 mtr. I press the LSK on the MFD and the prompt starts flashing on the KU scratchpad. Can I program TP to automatically switch to the Pilot keyboard page?

Now that I am aware, the OCD in me cannot ignore the fault - even a slight cosmetic one. I will have it fixed in the next opportunity.

I press the LSK on the MFD and the prompt starts flashing on the KU scratchpad. Can I program TP to automatically switch to the Pilot keyboard page? You can set up a plugin event change (under Event Settings) to trigger (go to the KBU page) when the KU display parameter text value changes to the display input prompt concerned. I am not aware of any means within DCS-BIOS to provide any indicator of which seat is in focus (PLT or CPG). Therefore, it is a challenge to determine which page with the KBU to switch to - especially if the seat change is triggered from Voice Attack with a key press. If you trigger the seat toggle via the TP pages, you can add a TP value to track the seat in use (perhaps "1" for PLT and "2" for CPG) - and on the event trigger, use the value with a "IF-ELSE" condition (no idea whether this is available with the current TP version) to switch to the desired page accordingly. But taking this approach would mean you cannot use Voice Attack to switch between seats. I would like to use Voice Attack with the Apache too. Please share the path you will take.

Good idea…I just tried it out and it seems to work…except the prompt on the KU scratchpad is flashing…which seems to make TP go crazy…all buttons on the KU page are flashing as well…. So perhaps it’s not possible. Not a huge deal. 11 hours ago, xoomigo said: I would like to use Voice Attack with the Apache too. Please share the path you will take. At the moment I have created voice commands in Voice Attack. When I say “Copilot” or “Gunner” it triggers button press 2 and switches to the Gunners seat. VA also adds a value to a file somewhere on my computer. When TP notices that this file has changed it automatically switches to the CPG panel. Using the same method I have created different voice commands for every panel so I am always free to switch without having to push a button. On my main page in TP (where I select the different profiles for different aircraft) I have added commands to delete the files that are created by Voice Attack. This way I always start with a new, empty file. It’s a very simple, basic solution but it works very well. Just let me know it anything I wrote is not clear or if you have any questions.

However, there is a caveat. The DED text display takes a few seconds to update after a keypad button is pressed. There's nothing I can do to make it refresh faster as it is fully dependent on DCS-BIOS timing to provide the events/values. And also, some symbols on the DED are unavailable as keyboard characters. Hence, DCS-BIOS substituted them with alternate characters which may make the text appear corrupted (see screenshot above). In addition, the font used is not perfect but is the best in the current TP library to match those of the DED - there's text alignment issue in some instances. Lastly, inverse character indicators will not be shown.
