Stu 657 Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 Where should the line of text be added to the export.lua file. I've attached a pic of where i have put it, is it the correct location or does it need to be added elsewhere?

Though you might have something different in the file of course. Should be in Saved Games>DCS>Scripts>Export.lua Mine looks like this Quote -- The Way pcall(function() local TheWayLfs=require('lfs');dofile(TheWayLfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TheWay/TheWay.lua'); end) -- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]]) --DCS Bios dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]]) --SRS local vaicomlfs = require('lfs'); dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]]) pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil) 3

What do you mean by "Looking at the desktop?", all the application code is open source, and many others have contributed to it, if it would be a "nefarious app" it would have been pretty obvious. Also I've never heard of it being reported by Windows Defender ever, for all these years it's been distributed. But if so, other mods have also been flagged as such throughout history, and Windows Defender likes embellishing them with scary titles (perhaps to convince you to only use their Microsoft Store products). 1

I did a full slow repair and that seemed to resolve the issue. I then reinstalled The Way and all works. Thank you for offering to help! While I have your attention, is there a way to modify the waypoints being used in the strike eagle? It defaults to 1A (or 1B) but there's no way to tell it to start at something like 50 and to set waypoints as a target (i.e. 50. or 1.) Just curious if this was possible and i'm missing something.

From what I know it's not possible to start at other numbers than from the beginning, not as target points. The F-15E code was written by other contributors so I'm not sure when it will change to accommodate that...
Beardy McWhisky Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 Gday @Comrade Doge - any plans to add the Kiowa to the list of supported airframes? 3

firehorse Posted June 15, 2024 Posted June 15, 2024 Not Accurate new version. For some reason accuracy is way off even when zooming in to select target. I reinstalled the older version of the way to test and it too now is not accurate. (it used to be dead on) For some reason the gbu38's hit 10m away from the targets, always. INS done, NAV selected in F16. Have tried reinstallation for both the way versions and tried various zoom to target selects but still crappy accuracy.

INS done, NAV selected in F16. Have tried reinstallation for both the way versions and tried various zoom to target selects but still crappy accuracy. F-16 GPS guided bombs are not so accurate at the moment, their accuracy can definitely deviate more than 10 meters, even with a perfect waypoint. If you want to test the accuracy of the waypoints, load one up on a known landmark, then point the TGP at it, it should be right on the spot. Also about the Kiowa, it's definitely planned for a release in the future
firehorse Posted June 16, 2024 Posted June 16, 2024 Dunno what is causing the issue but the bombs are creeping further away as seen in the photo. It starts off close to target but with multiple hits the bombs move further away. I used to be able to hit tanks on the money 95% of the time but since the latest update its now all screwed up.
subseauk Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Hi, I have installed "The Way" as directed and made a waypoint list, then imported into DCS AH64 all without issue. I then watched the data being input into the AH64 keyboard but nothing shows on the MFD map? I cannot see what the issue is, do you have any suggestions? I would also like to use this for the new OH Kiowa but it say it won't work, any thoughts?

The OH Kiowa update is almost ready to be released 2
Comrade Doge Posted July 22, 2024 Author Posted July 22, 2024 Hello everyone, thanks to our GitHub contributors the OH-58 Kiowa is now supported! Check out the newest version here Important! To update to this version from an older one, replace your existing TheWay folder found in Saved Games/DCS/Scripts with the new one, overriding any existing files. Then, run the new installer. No need to modify the Export.lua file. To install from scratch, follow the installation instructions here 1 1
Sprool Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 (edited) New version with Kiowa support (big thanks!) works fine oon flat screen, but I cannot get it working in VR (Quest 2 headset). I tried the deault key bindings (ctrl+shift+s, ect.) and also tried changing settings to map my own keybinds but it will not pick up, store or transfer any thing. Its like my key presses are being ignored (in VR as well as flat screen). Did I miss a step? Is <numpad Enter> a reserved keypress? I guess I may have had ctrl+shift+s apready mapped to something different, if I change it to ctrl+shift+w then it works, I just wanted to avoid having to do ctrl+shift+anything in vr as I cannot see the keys.

Hi, i will investigate on why some keys don't register, in the meantime for VR you can try going to the desktop view and using the DCS mirror that shows in 2D, and use TheWay interface from there like you would normally do.
Sprool Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 @Comrade Doge Thanks - this is a brilliant tool, it should be fully integrated into DCS at some stage. It would be good to find 2 really easily accessible keys to press for VR users. If I go to desktop view then the Quest 2 will crash and cause DCS to hang - this is due to me using Turbo Mode in the OpenXR tool, which really helps achieve good frame rate and smoothness, so I'd rather not have to turn it off!
Sprool Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 In further news, I managed to get keyboard emulation mapped to 2 of my little-used joystick buttons (VKB NXT Pro - the software that comes with this is amazing) so with one joystick button press it emulates L Ctrl + Lshift + W : i can store a waypoint, then move the map & store another, a different key press emulates Lctrl+Lshift+s and sends the waypints to the cockpit. Happy days
