Wostg Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I've been dropping laser guided bombs. Here's a modified F-15e script which has the preset comms in option1, but changes to time-to-release/impact/target until you go back to Nav mode etc. Edited June 30, 2023 by Wostg Files updated below 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
Lekaa Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Id it possible to have steerpoint on there also somewhere? Best would be option 1 because that button for me where the option1 is, is my pb10 Edited June 30, 2023 by Lekaa
Wostg Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Yeah the 2 scratchpadnumber digits could probably be that eg '2A'. I'll move the mastermode and snares about to suit. Actually @Lekaa might be tricky- there's no consistent display of the steerpoint on a gauge, and it won't be on the HUD, UFC or MFD at all times so it's probabyl going to disappear at awkward moments. Will see if its easy to get it to look at both HUDS, UFC, 7xMFDs and if it appears on any then display.

Wostg Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Ok here ya go. Steerpoints on the far left, which should work as long as one (1) of your five pilot displays is showing current info. I was hoping single players could just leave a wiso screen active but of course its current-view only. Neat use of the buttons but seemed like a waste of digits to use an option slot?? Flares and chaff both represented in com1, master mode in comm2.

Lekaa Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 @Wostg Is it only for me that the scratchpad dont work in the WSO seat ? F15
Wostg Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Good spotting - try this out and let me know how it works. There's probably still a conflict about which seat gets to display, but as long as you don't leave numbers hanging when switching I think its ok - that's most likely to happen if you have the previous radio channel switched in. ufcPatchF15e.lua ufcPatch.lua Edited July 4, 2023 by Wostg 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly

Kurothas Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Hi @prestonflying, strangly my UFC addon does not work. It worked some weeks ago after i initially installed it, but due to unknown reasons, it stopped working. I downloaded the latest release from the first page yesterday. I reinstalled it after simapppro upgrade to version 1.9.8. Using openbeta. my dcs.log does not show anything with "wwt". Do you have any idea what could be the problem? thanks in advance, Kuro
prestonflying Posted July 9, 2023 Author Posted July 9, 2023 @Kurothas hey there! Let’s first just try to get your dcs exports working, then we can re install the UFC edited files. 1. Can you confirm your Saved Games/DCS_Folder/Scripts/Export.lua includes the wwt lines? You can run “repair lua” in SimApp Pro -> setting to repopulate those. Perhaps the upgrade removed the old entries. 2. Start up DCS after confirming your Export.lua has the lines. Do you see any errors in your dcs.log file?
Lekaa Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Could someone maybe get more info from the A10 instead of just static information? Like maybe Steerpoint info, What weapons mod currently using or which weapon are selected, scratchpad or anything but static, it's a wish if someone feels like doing something On 7/4/2023 at 9:57 AM, Wostg said: Good spotting - try this out and let me know how it works.

Wostg Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Good to hear - once the patch comes through with the mark points fixed I might try and add them too. I know its just a nice-to-have during early access but I really really really wish that exports were on that list.

I know its just a nice-to-have during early access but I really really really wish that exports were on that list. I know it might be a limitation but when have steerpoint B, or str 1.A, it does not show that because of the limited space it have in the scratchpad. I was wishing first to have it on the upper option displays and then have the radio where the radio default's for the hornet. And have chaff and flare on the last option display at the bottom. Thats my preferens Edited July 10, 2023 by Lekaa
prestonflying Posted July 10, 2023 Author Posted July 10, 2023 @Wostg @Lekaa F-15E Has been added to latest version (1.0.11)! Thank you for helping create this profile and test it! 1
Wostg Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 @Lekaa I was going to just send you a quick and dirty version to use but then realised that the * and also the GV really messes things up for Comms. I'll have another play when the update comes through. The Options should be able to display S2A or S2-A etc. @prestonflying Fast as always I saw the hornet can do letters of a sort on the scratchpad e.g. ERROR. Is there any way we can get in on that, even if the awkward letters (W,M,X,V etc) need some really ugly approximations, like this? 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
prestonflying Posted July 10, 2023 Author Posted July 10, 2023 @Wostg I had a similar idea when starting this, turns out SimApp Pro is our interface to the USB UFC scratch pad, thus we send data to SimApp Pro, then SimApp Pro sends data to the UFC. SimApp Pro does not support letters, thus nothing would show. I have another forum post that shows how to bypass SimApp Pro and directly write data to the UFC. This approach would be required to get full control over the segmented displays, and would require a re-work of how this UFC Patch program works. In pseudo code; we would make a new program that reads export dcs data, then writes to the UFC directly, skipping SimApp Pro altogether. I do not think it is worth the work, but is always possible!
Wostg Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Oh yeah I remember that post, from when I understood even less than I do now - figured it was all part of the current patch, lol. Oh well how annoying, thanks for clarifying Edited July 10, 2023 by Wostg I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly

Do you see any errors in your dcs.log file? Hi @prestonflying, i installed the latest version of SimAppPro (1.9.9), repaired the .lua file and installed again the Universal UFC AddOn. Everything works again. But of course my TacView Export does not work anymore since those lines has been deleted. So one problem solved, another one appeared ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Any issues with TacView known? Thank you and best greetings Kurothas
prestonflying Posted July 11, 2023 Author Posted July 11, 2023 @Kurothas SimApp Pro will make a fresh Export.lua and also makes a backup file, look for Export_Backup_xyz and you can grab the old tac view lua entry and add it back into Exports.lua Here is the lua entry for TacView assuming you had TacView installed and working which should make it work again local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') 1

Wostg Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 @prestonflying Hey, not urgent but tidied up the ka50 a bit, no changes to functions but put the crash prevention in etcufcPatchKA50.lua I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
Lekaa Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 @Wostg Do you have the time to check the scratchpad on the F15E? after the update it don't work anymore
Wostg Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) @Lekaa That's weird. As per the DCS Exports thread the whole UFC is kaput. Ok looking now. So much for practising my refueling, any excuse lol Ok found the change, the UFC used to be device '8' now its '7' probably all the othes mfds etc changed as well. On it...

Wostg Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) STOP THE PRESSES SCREEN EXPORTS ARE FUNCTIONAL. This rules. Especially recommend the F-15E MPCDs and Grayscale FLIR v1.4 mod @Lekaa That was easy enough - see file attached, hopefully nothign else changed / needs fixing ufcPatchF15e.lua Edited July 24, 2023 by Wostg 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
