SlipHavoc Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) A couple years ago I published the initial DCSAutoMate version. It was pretty rough, with a bare-bones console interface and very little error checking, but it worked. I'm now happy to announce **DCSAutoMate v1.0.0**, which is pretty close to the vision I originally had for the program in the beginning. It's now a proper Windows GUI, and although still basic, has a much easier interface and a lot more capability. The GitHub page has the full documentation, as well as the source code and a complete zip file: https://github.com/SlipHavoc/DCSAutoMate Main features: Write your own Python scripts to completely customize any startup checklist in DCS. Scripts included for the following modules: A-10C and A-10C II A-4E community mod AH-64D AJS-37 Viggen AV-8B NA Harrier C-101EB and C-101CC F-15E F-16C F-4E F-5E F-86F F/A-18C Ka-50 Blackshark II and Ka-50 Blackshark III Mi-24P Mi-8MTV2 OH-58D UH-1H All included scripts have at least Cold Start and Hot Start, many also have Air Start and Shutdown, and support multiple variations such as ground or carrier, day or night, HMD or no HMD, etc. Uses DCS BIOS to move any cockpit control, and can now also read cockpit controls to make your scripts reactive. Can also send keyboard commands to DCS to move controls that aren't mapped in DCS BIOS. Open source and free to modify or customize as you wish. I've made this primarily for my own personal use, so the included scripts do the startups that I use myself, which aren't necessarily the "proper" steps, but are reliable and get the plane into a fully combat-ready state. Most of the scripts are heavily commented, and DCS BIOS has pretty good documentation so they should be easy to change. Inspiration for this originally came from programs like DiCE, DCSTheWay, and DCS Scratchpad. My thanks to those authors for showing some of what can be done, as well as the maintainers of DCS BIOS, ED for designing a great game that supports things like this, and the authors and maintainers of all the many Python libraries, IDE tools, and other infrastructure that goes into even a small project like this!

MAXsenna Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Excellent! I'll have a look. Just a quick question, as it uses DCS-Bios I assume tracks are "broken" using this?Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
TrainAss Posted March 12 Posted March 12 When trying to launch DCSAutoMate.exe as per the instructions on your GitHub page, I get an Unhanded exception in script. error. Running Windows 11 Home. I have DCS installed in a non-normal location. Instead of Program files, I have it installed on a separate drive. My install path is E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Modded\ (I also have a Vanilla install in the same root path but DCS World Vanilla). Saved Games folder is the normal one. Nothing special there. Would this affect the application's ability to run?
