Metro Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Hello all. Before everyone starts to jump on me for using autostart, I am an RL pilot that has started Jets for over the past 27 years of my life in the Military and Civilian world so yes I use auto start in my home sim. Just because I get tired of doing it and in RL. IRL I can't do something else while starting up a jet. In my house, I can. Like, go get a cup of coffee or drink a beer! LOL! I know there are a lot of people who love to problem solve So here is my question to all of you that use SRS with DCS. I have done a little research and messaged back and forth with the developer of SRS and the problem I am encountering seems to be a DCS issue. This is what I've experienced in different scenarios. 1. Use auto-start and SRS will not show frequencies on the overlay and just shows 0's and SRS is useless as no other cockpit input will alter SRS frequencies and cannot transmit or receive. 2. Manually start the jet and when the battery switch is turned on, I, of course, get radio 1 working and continue with the startup manually and when engine #1 is online radio 2 comes alive. Everything works fine. 3. I turn on the battery manually and get SRS radio #1 up and working and then initiate auto-start and soon as the auto start sequence starts and runs the checklist, at the point, it turns the battery off in the cockpit checks, SRS reverts to 0's and it will no longer work until I back out of the pit and start all over again. So, please don't tell me to just always start manually because every once in a while, Id like to start automatically and go get me a beer! :smilewink: I think the remedy and I do not know how to do this is to edit the start sequence for the auto-start to eliminate the battery switch being turned off in the cockpit checks. I would like to be able to turn the battery switch on manually and run the auto start and eliminate the auto battery turned off. Once in-game and SRS is running. Selecting the battery on will get SRS running but you cannot turn the battery back off because the only way to get SRS running again is to back out of the game and re-enter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Except for the smart ass one! :megalol::helpsmilie: Metro

You will probably even shave off time. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Metro Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 I have VA but never thought of doing that. Is there anyone here done this?
MAXsenna Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I have VA but never thought of doing that. Is there anyone here done this?I don't know. I do love my manual starts! Hehe Just test it! Can't go wrong if done correctly. Will only take you time! Or, if you find a suitable VA profile, or have one, it might be an easy way to tie it all together. If you need help the guys at the Discord are super friendly! I do know there's an Autohotkey script for the Shark somewhere too. But I'm think I had done issues with DCS last time I tested. Maybe somebody else have it working. Also, if you have a gaming keyboard with macro support, it might even be quicker. I'm testing a Razor keyboard with individual lighting as a cheapo switch panel. Flipping switches is a breeze now, but I need more! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Sent from my ANE-LX1 using TapatalkCan't believe I didn't think of this! As for SRS and the OP question. It may be worth doing a repair on the SRS install. Could be that the scripts are not quite playing ball if you're using an older version. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

Just kidding. VA then, that will be perfect, I'm quite sure. And for the above post. Try delete export.lua in your save games DCS scripts folder. Some of us need to that for VAICOM after every DCS update. VR and VA you say? You've got VAICOM as well? Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Metro Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 Yes and I do have to delete the file in script folder Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MAXsenna Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Cool! Well, anyway. Hope you find a solution or a workaround! Cheers! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
