SuperTonique Posted March 26, 2024 Posted March 26, 2024 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!
xoomigo Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 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!
SuperTonique Posted April 2, 2024 Author Posted April 2, 2024 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...
xoomigo Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 You had asked and before and had done it before. See my post on April 29, 2023 in the link below: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/207264-touch-portal-app/page/13/
SuperTonique Posted April 3, 2024 Author Posted April 3, 2024 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. Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.19045.4046] (c) Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.

xoomigo Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 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.
SuperTonique Posted April 4, 2024 Author Posted April 4, 2024 Good news ! So, I think that the Touch-Portal V4 will be required to install the next version of DCS_COINS ?

And yes, it requires Touch Portal v4 and also the latest version of DCS-BIOS (which is bundled together in the package). https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/cn/files/3319022/
SuperTonique Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 Hi xoomigo ! So, I'm back on this topic. Could it be possible for you to explain me how I can add the Phanthom F4 in the files of the old version of DCS-COINS ? In fact I'm steel using the TouchPortal V3.1 because I can modify all my interfaces as I wish. If I use the touchportal V4, I need to make again all my interfaces and it's to heavy. Thank you for what you can do for me and for your answer. Best regards,
