Hello All,

 

New to the forum and relatively new to DCS.

 

I recently picked up an Arduino to hopefully build a switch box for controls beyond my HOTAS. When doing a quick search I came across the DCS-BIOS and decided to install it.

 

Unfortunately I can't see to get it connected to DCS though. The DCS connection page does not provide the check boxes as shown in the user manual. When doing some searching it also doesn't appear to have installed the DCS-BIOS log file as some other users had mentioned nor does the .msi file on the GitHub come with arduino library.

 

I feel I am missing something? Has anyone else encountered this and had a fix for it?

As an update I went back and grabbed the DCSFlightpanels fork and moved the provided export.lua and DCS-Bios folders into the scripts folder. Now on the DCS-BIOS Hub I get a connection to the Virtual Cockpit, but it still won't connect to DCS:World

I had a similar problem, turned out it was caused by my saved games folder not being on the C drive .. I moved it back to C and now it connects fine.

Hmm. My saved games is on my C: drive but DCS world is not. Could this potentially be the issue as its not getting the correct path to the game? or does it only interact with the user/saved game/ files?

As a follow up to this if anyone is having similar issues:

 

I ended up uninstalling absolutely everything relating to DCS on my computer and re-installing onto my main (C:) drive along with DCS-BIOS. From there I could get everything working very easily. I did have two previous mods/plugins installed which could have caused an issue but everything seems to be happy now.

Ok seems like I have the same problem, but cant really install dcs on my primary drive:(

I have my DCS main install on my E: drive.  DCS-BIOS goes in the saved games folder, though.

Having looked back at the thread, the OP seems to have installed the Flightpanels Fork scripts, but is trying to use the Hub fork connection screen - that won't work.  They're different versions.
Flightpanels is "harder" to connect, but is up to date with new modules.  Hub hasn't been actively updated for quite some time.
