SA342 last version with DCS-BIOS and DCS-COINS


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I'm a Touch Portal user.

I'm trying to make an interface with the new Gazelle SA342 (DCS V 2.8) that the latest version of DCS gave us just before the last version of DCS 2.9.

Unfortunately, the actual Gazelle's DCS-COINS module doesn't seem to work. 

Is there any change on the last version of the Gazelle that could change something in the DCS-BIOS and the DCS-COINS funtionnallity ?

Is anyone that had the problem and is there a solution, or do we have to wait for the more advanced developers to create a DCS-COINS module compatible with this new SA342 version?

Thanks for your answers and happy flying!

Hi SuperTonique,

I happened to chance upon your post here.

You had asked me before about the issue and I had pointed to DCS-BIOS being the issue - requires know-how which is beyond my pay grade.

After going though plugin setup again and reviewing the latest bundle of DCS-BIOS, I now suspect it may be due to changes in the aircraft alias in the latter which may be the cause of the disconnect.

Please post the output of "dcs-coins -v" when you have the SA342 up and running. I need to know the "aircraft" value returned by DCS-BIOS for the confirmation.

Cheers!

I thank you so much for your answer.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand "Please post the output of "dcs-coins -v" when you have the SA342 up and running".

Where can I pickup the output of "dcs-coins -v" ? And What about ?

Be kind to explain me...

I remember !

So, here is the result.

I have run DCS and I've choosen the SA342 mod.

And after that, I've proceed with the cmd lines following.

To give you all information, When I select an other mod, Touch-Portal works properly.

I see that on one of lines, the aircraft is named "SA" then "SA34"...

Thank you for your analyse.

Okay, that confirms it.

I can see a few variants for SA342, consisting of SA342, SA342L, SA342M, SA342Minigun and SA342Mistral - supported by FP's DCS-BIOS.

Coincidentally, I am currently working on a few enhancements - including adding a state called "aircraft model" to identify variant of the loaded aircraft. This will allow users to configure auto-switch to different pages or changing of buttons according to the variant concerned.

Expect the next DCS-COINS release within the next few days. 🙂

Good news !

So, I think that the Touch-Portal V4 will be required to install the next version of DCS_COINS ?

Okay, the latest release of DCS-COINS is now available. And yes, it requires Touch Portal v4 and also the latest version of DCS-BIOS (which is bundled together in the package).
