DCS-ExportScripts for Stream Deck Community Github Library

Seems very odd that that would cause issues!

Anyone know how you'd use the SD to uncage the backup ADI? In the cold start you have to hold LMB and rotate the mousewheel at the same time.

I guess one SD button to hold the knob out, and then a 2nd to rotate it

@AhSoulI noticed in the streamdeck profile you posted in the user files, the font has been increased to 11 from 9 and the button icon is a little different. Were there any other changes?

compared to the last version I posted in here? If so then yes, lots of changes

I've made more changes since I posted to userfiles last night as well so I'll update userfiles at some point soon, probably after the weekend. I'm tweaking it a lot to get it as useable as possible.

I'll probably start on a WSO one too soon.

For the WSO it might be cool to have one output that is the active Master Mode? Since you can't switch it from the back there's no point using up 4 buttons for them.

OK, it seems like the comments at the top of the file (version 0.7 comments) are stopping mine working so I've commented out the entire block rather than as row-by-row. Re-posting the file in case someone else has the same issue I have....

I get 10 of these errors in succession each with a different process id. Looks like the plug in crashes and restarts. Restarting streamdeck doesnt fix it. Need to restart the game from scratch

Thanks for the extra info, I’ve also got a good report of a repeatable crash during INS alignment so will get squashed

I had the same behavior yesterday evening during a long multiplayer mission. I couldn't restart DCS so I waited, and 1 minute later it all came back.

[davidp57]

I just did it again. In the Streamdeck log, same errors as skypickle. Going back to 0.6 to check if it helps

[davidp57]

And I confirm, as soon as the INS alignment starts the plugin crashes (even with 0.6).

I'm trying to remember if all my crashes have been during cold starts (so having to start alignment). it's quite likely thinking about it

[Trigati]

It's the PP-EGI screen...which GC Align invokes or you may just click it in the UFC (Menu, Menu, UFC4)....now I've just got to figure out why.....

 

[Trigati]

Found it....DCS is sending a really odd character in that string...which is fine unless it's next to an escape character in the string...which is what the modified formatting does to split data to multiple rows....anyway I have patched it. Please let me know if there are still/further issues.

F-15ESE.lua

[AhSoul]

Awesome thanks @Trigati

Do you think we could change 

ExportScript.Tools.SendData(7368,FUEL_display(mainPanelDevice,"TOTAL").."\nTOTAL LBS")

to

ExportScript.Tools.SendData(7368,FUEL_display(mainPanelDevice,"TOTAL").."\nTOTAL\nLBS")

Seems to fit nicer in the button

[AhSoul]

New version of my profiles here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331753/

Have added a WSO profile, buttons to swap seats and profiles at the same time, and lots of general improvements to layout and readability.

Excellent, thanks for this great service to the community!

Only thing with that is then it’s 3 rows but the rest of the fuel info exports are only 2….so it may not look that neat when they get displayed next to each other.

I think an alternative is to remove the LBS, so just send TOTAL…then it fits right? What do you think, is that an acceptable option?

@Trigati works for me. It's the only one that has lbs in the label anyway.

Might bother people that want it exactly like the text in the cockpit but I'm fine with it

[Blue_Storm]

Thanks for the great work, feel free to add this code snippet to ProcessIkarusDCSConfigLowImportance

		-- Oxygen PSI gauge export
		if ExportScript.Config.Debug then
			ExportScript.Tools.WriteToLog('66554: '..ExportScript.Tools.dump(string.format("%1.0f", mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(554) * 400)))
		end
		local oxyStr = ""
		oxyStr = string.format("%1.0f", mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(554) * 400) .. "\nPSI"
		ExportScript.Tools.SendData(66554, oxyStr)

This will enable you to retrieve the reading of the oxygen pressure gauge (not that it moves a lot ...)

Better remove any text. Just leave the number, it is much better to create an icon and have a larger number which would fit much better in any location

Sure , will take a look at including this in the next release.

Yeah, I agree with you, better with no labels, I’m happy to have both in the profile.

If we all think it's better in the long run to not have the 2 sets of outputs in the file (labels and raw), then we should remove them. We only suggested them originally as it seemed a pretty simple thing to do that would help some people, but if it's going to make it harder to maintain and/or cause a performance hit...

It's just the fuel and engine sections right?

 

[skypickle]

@Trigatithank you for this work. @AhSoulnice profiles. I am working on a 'checklist oriented' profile. For example inside a folder labeled, 'start', is a sequence of buttons and switches from left to right that represent the actions needed to start the aircraft. Following the buttons in order is like reading the checklist. Although not a realistic representation of the actual button arrangement in the aircraft, it prompts me to remember the steps in order. I can post it if you find this an interesting approach but there are no pretty icons.

But when it comes to weapons employment sequences ,this leads to a lot of duplication.

Terrific Idea.

@skypickle I did wonder about doing a 'start' page in my profile as you say. However you could do that with my profile now - wouldn't be too hard to just move the buttons around (or duplicate them) to a new page. I'm pretty sure on my pages you'll find everything you needed. I've done the cold start training mission with it.
