icontrol dcs => open beta 1.2.7

[nigglascage]

Hello!

 

I noticed that icontrol DCS is not working with the open beta.

Is there a way to manually fix this? :joystick:

 

Many thanks in advance.

Try reinstalling/repairing the iControl PC software. If that does not fix it, you'll unfortunately have to wait for the iControl author to update his program to work with v1.2.7.

 

From what I remember, iControl modifies a few of DCS's files so that DCS knows it is there and can interface with the server. If you have not installed iControl and told it to use the Open Beta install directory, none of these files will have been updated.

 

Also, take a look at item #5 from the iControl FAQ page: http://bit-shift.com/a10vcserver/index.html#faq

 

If you are not able to select which directory DCS is installed to, then unfortunately iControl is not compatible with the Open Beta and you'll have to wait until v1.2.7 Final is released.

I found a solution for my problem:

 

Create following file: C:\Users\[yourname]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua

 

Content of the file:

dofile(".\\A10VCServer\\Main.lua") --A10VCHook

Or just copy the file from C:\Users\[yourname]\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua to the above folder in case you are using it for 1.2.6 already

 

Cheers

Kudos on the thoroughly inappropriate screen name.

 

You are the first ever who complains about it on any forum i'm posting on :doh:

Nice find on that Nigglascage. I was trying to figure a fix for that myself to no avail.

It would seem that icontrol suffers from the same problem as Helios in the fact that the VHF radios don't work. Helios was free so I can't complain but this cost $30. Guess I need to let the dev know.

It's more of a backhanded compliment. Daring and stupid at the same time.

 

Same goes for your signature, bro.
