Yeti42 Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 (edited) Hi Guys, I've just taken delivery of a VRSimSolutions V3 MIP F18 Add-On compatible with top gun package panel. I've followed the instruction for the DCS BIOS install and setup the panel but still can't seem to communicate with DCS. The multiple COM ports cmd has been setup, but when I execute it I see no activity or communication with the panels or DCS, I've even backed up the export lua file and am just using the one line from the DCS BIOS setup instructions, nothing works, any ideas? BTW the panels are showing up in DCS controllers and switches and buttons are mappable but obviously none of the warning lights etc can be configured this way, DCS BIOS is needed for that... I don't want to delete the whole setup and upload my own sketch (Arduino Leonardo Boards) as the panel is meant to come pre-programmed with everything working...

No1sonuk Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Are you trying the right port numbers? I've found that sometimes the HID and non-HID USB connections move thier port numbers. Try using the DCSBIOS Bridge to see which ports are available. This is a graphical connection program that SOMETIMES works OK, but some people experience lag with it in use. However, it DOES show you which ports are available, so you can try those numbers in your multiple com cmd file. The bridge is here, but NOTE THE WARNING about it not being maintained: https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/DCSBIOSBridge 1
Yeti42 Posted November 28, 2024 Author Posted November 28, 2024 Reset the whole thing and restarted, works now, no idea what the route cause was but hey, if it's not broke don't fix it Windows 10 64 bit | Intel i5-9600k OC 5 Ghz | RTX 2080 |VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB DDR 4 OC 3200 Hotas Warthog | Logitech G Flight Rudder Pedals | Track IR 4

So what is the 'current' way to connect DCSBios?

Putting the port numbers in the multiple com file. The bridge works, but some people have had problems with it. It may still work for you.
