Mi-24P Stream Deck with DCS-ExportScript


Recommended Posts

You can download the profile herehttps://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317284/
Even though the local file upload in this post was going strong with 40 downloads, the file has become too big to remain in this thread (more than 5MB).

A few people have started their Hind DCS-ExportScripts with some difficulty, including myself. A few hours ago Ctytler started investigating a potential problem with the Stream Deck Interface app (https://github.com/charlestytler/streamdeck-dcs-interface/issues/35). The issue has been fixed in the latest Stream Deck Interface App version. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/230609-new-streamdeck-plugin/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-4719490
Thanks @ctytler!

 

 

In the meantime I have been making a Mi-24P.lua to include dials and lights. I used the Clickable Data Extract tool (https://github.com/charlestytler/dcs-clickabledata-extract) to make a spreadsheet of the clickable stuff. I then added that to an `Empty-DCS.lua`, renamed it to `Mi-24P.lua` and through shear experimentation started labeling the lights and dials while in ModelViewer.

 

You can see the result here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/blob/master/ExportsModules/Mi-24P.lua . I hope that we can get a relatively central place to chat about Mi-24P DCS-Export info. Feel free to add stuff to the git or simply here in the thread. 

 

Expect changes.

 

I have so far replicated the Autopilot panel and the Signal Flares on the Stream Deck, the results of which are working well. I took pictures of the buttons ingame, referenced some numbers, and voila, there it was. The rest of my SD profile in still in construction. Liberal use of the Delete key is ok 😄. Remember to put `Mi-24P.lua` in your `Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportsModules` before you start.

Note: DCS-BIOS has quite a number of Hind stuff, much of which I am using for my VoiceAttack profile. If that will satisfy your Stream Deck needs, please feel free to use it. It is a little simpler for simpler needs. Take a look at at DCS-BIOS  (https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios) along with DCS Control (https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/204733-streamdeck-plugin-for-dcs/).

Added the DISS computer and a fair amount of front seat stuff. I tried it in MP and it pretty much had everything except for "Fire". Here are some pics of what the profile looks like at the time of this post. Check the first post for the download. I'll also upload it to ED User Files...if I have the time.

 

The position of the buttons roughly represent where they are located in the cockpit relative to one another. Once you use the profile for a bit you may get used to it. If you want to change it up, feel free to do so. 

 

Remember: You have to use the Mi-24P.lua for this to work.

Very nice, i would like to use your icons on my 15 key stream deck.

will you make for 15 key deck ?

 

Feel free to use the icons. I don’t have a 15 button version. If you have trouble let me know and I can try to “simulate” one in the software and release a special version.

Hi, how can i take your icons?

Download the profile. Open it with winzip or winrar. Search for the images. Or, if there is enough demand I can upload them individually when I put the profile on ED User Files.

Extract the stream deck profile itself.

Following the 15 key discussion.  As always...well done, Bailey.  You are a great contributor to the community.

 

Sorry to ask, but do you have a recommendation for extracting the profile itself?  I am having trouble with 7 ZIP not extracting subfolders.  I can see/browse them in the 7 ZIP GUI.

 

Meantime, the XL profile does work on the standard stream deck, it just truncates to only show the left 5 columns and top 3 rows.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I use WinRAR to extract the images. Right click the .streamDeckProfile file and Open With WinRAR. Then Extract To a location of your choice. Then search for "*.png" to find all of the image files. Oh, and search for "*.jpg" too.

Once the XL version has been blessed by ED via the ED User Files, I'll get working on the Standard version. It might be a little awkward, but I can leave the fine tuning to the user.

The autopilot pitch channel showed Yaw when off and Pitch when on.

A 'pitch off' image was not included so I cobbled 2 of your images together to get it, I hope that's ok.

Nice catch. I thought I fixed that. Yes, it is ok. I have made the change in my profile too. Thank you.

I am considering this. It will likely happen when I have the chance to spend time on it.

Thanks for making this export and profile! I plan to start using it, and I'm glad the extract was of some help.

Glad to provide. Wouldn't have been possible without the extract, so thank you to you too! Funny enough the DCS Interface app bug opened my eyes to many of the possibilities of the .lua. I am glad to see that the app has been updated. Double Thanks! (https://github.com/charlestytler/streamdeck-dcs-interface/releases/tag/v1.0.4)

Thanks to @Coyote_One and the videos by @ctytler, flare and chaff count export has been added. Note the IDs (3022-3025). I have not updated the SD profile, but I have updated the .lua. 
You can find the file here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/blob/1fb0fd33b9c0522e322716b9ddbbc87be69ae0dd/Scripts/DCS-ExportScript/ExportsModules/Mi-24P.lua

You can check out the video here: https://youtu.be/pdQXB327uWs

It took me months to really understand the process, but gosh darn I did! (For the most part, kinda)

I realize this is a kindergarten level question, but I have previously set up dcs-bios and dcs-interface for the streamdeck, but since the 24 came out none of the button ID's appear.

 

Which underlying component do I need to update or reinstall to be able to get them to show up so I can map them?

 

Thanks!

This one for DCS-Interface. https://github.com/charlestytler/streamdeck-dcs-interface/releases/tag/v1.0.4

 

For DCS Bios / DCS Control the new version that includes the Hind isn’t officially out yet, but the individual Hind file is updated if you feel like getting them now.

Yes. It is the same process for the other lights in the cockpit like the autopilot lights.
The IDs are 225, 226, 227, 229, 230, and 231, which are already in the lua and notated as "Landing Light [direction] Brightness"

Range is 0.0 to 1.0.
If you need more guidance, let me know.
