Gabreil Posted November 30, 2024 Author Posted November 30, 2024 @MAXsenna @jonsky7 Thanks both. I only see the option in like MAXSenna - in the Gunner station.. and not the main CH47 options.. Even so, i've still got the problem where the window never appears.. I've pretty much given up trying to make it appear.. unless you have any other suggestions!!!

No wonder it doesn't show if the keybind/keystroke doesn't exist. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
Gabreil Posted November 30, 2024 Author Posted November 30, 2024 It does exist.. have a look at the image above.. like you, only in the CH47 Gunner section - LWin+H. I've tried everything from previous attempts. DCS repair, rebuild CH47 folders, changing default keybind to known working keys to eliminate the chance of a broken key on the keyboard. It just does not work or appear on the screen.

It just does not work or appear on the screen. I see the misunderstanding now. Forget about the screenshot I quoted. I edited my post with a new screenshot, which for some reason was wiped. It was equal to @jonsky7's. The general settings for the CH-47F. Do you see it there? If you don't, it's no wonder it doesn't work. Can you clarify? Cheers!

I've tried everything from previous attempts. DCS repair, rebuild CH47 folders, changing default keybind to known working keys to eliminate the chance of a broken key on the keyboard. It just does not work or appear on the screen. Here is my Input folder, from DCS > Mods > aircraft > CH-47F Input.zip The main controls has this section Line 968 onwards Quote -- Gunners AI Panel --------------------------------------------------------------------- { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_1, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Panel Show/Hide'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_13, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Left ROE Iterate'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_33, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Left Burst Switch'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_14, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Right ROE Iterate'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_34, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Right Burst Switch'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_15, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Aft ROE Iterate'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, { cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_35, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Aft Burst Switch'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- }) and the gunners section has Line 85 Quote -- Gunners AI Panel --------------------------------------------------------------------- {combos = {{key = 'H', reformers = {'LWin'}}}, cockpit_device_id = devices.GUNNER_STATIONS, down = device_commands.Button_1, value_down = 1.0, name = _('AI Panel Show/Hide'), category = _('Gunners AI Panel')}, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- }) The only other thing I can think of is if you are not using English as the language for DCS (I've never had to change it so I'm unfamiliar), I've seen at least one other post where a keybind was hard to find due to translation. From your screenshot it looks like you are using English, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. And just some info: If you modify any game files at any time, and then do an update or repair, all of those files are saved in the main directory in a new folder called Backup.000, and they are saved with the folder structure intact, so you can just drag the contents of BackUp.000 back into your main DCS folder to restore all your Mods. A mod manager is much better though, for when the files can changed (can break stuff) More info. The files and folder for the Crew Indicator are located DCS > Mods > aircraft > GCBase > Cockpit > Scripts > AI > ControlPanel and the location is in the file g_panel_page.lua It is extremely similar to the Huey's Crew Indicator file. To change it's position I mess with Line 62 base.init_pos = {aspect + shift_X,firstLineY + shift_Y} Mine being base.init_pos = {aspect + shift_X - 5.2,firstLineY + shift_Y + 1.6} Hope any of this helps.
Gabreil Posted December 1, 2024 Author Posted December 1, 2024 Thanks both. @jonsky7 Ill check my configs - main controls and see if those lines are even showing.. i doubt they are due to not seeing it. Ill add your suggestions and see what happens. Yeah, fully aware when updates are installed things revert. I have a sync of DCS and Saved Games to my NAS.. so worst case i'm between 12-24 hours behind any changes i might have made. I really should invest the time and get quaggles up and working for the CH-47. I'll report back with what i find
Gabreil Posted December 1, 2024 Author Posted December 1, 2024 BINGO!! For whatever reason the Gunners AI Panel scripting was not in the main CH47 keyboard\default.lua. I can only think that somehow when i added the MFD/CDU lines to to allow button presses, i somehow overwrote the Gunners AI Panel lines of code. Pasting them in brought it up striaght away. @jonsky7 & @MAXsenna thanks both for your time/input. 1
