Digital Combat Simulator – DCS Plugin 2.0.0.0

I have found I have to unpatch GameEngine and redirect GameEngine to the version I want to use by repatching GameEngine and changing to the correct directory path for the patch.

i.e.
C:\Users\Dave\Saved Games\DCS (1.5.8)
or
C:\Users\Dave\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha (2.2)

Hopefully the merged version of DCS will be out soon (end of Jan???) so that there will be only one patch needed.

The other issue I have is that there is very limited telemetry from the aircraft modules.

I am only getting telemetry from the Flaming Cliffs A-10A and F-15C in 2.2 and all the Flaming Cliffs3 aircraft and Su-25T (free) in 1.5.8? No other modules work.

it needs to simply reverse effect when aircrafts turns half way
( from right way up to up side down )

then effect feels seamless , no idea why this is not already the case
( this option for seat rocker type setups )

The 2.2 alpha definitely will be superceeded by 2.5 and is a place holder. But for example, I cannot get the Huey to output in either version yet people have motion rigs flying it?

Great work with the plugin but I have a suggestion, I do not know if it is possible to do it by simtools, I think the ideal for a 2dof would be that when you reach 90 degrees of roll or pitch inclination that is the maximum point of the motion, from there until you reach 180 degrees (plane cabin down) the motion returns to its central position, as you can now put the maximum point of rotation at any point up to 180 degrees but once you pass that point the seat rotates suddenly at the other extreme, I think it would be much more natural with a total turn to 90 then go back to 180 and turn to the other direction until 270 and return to the center to 360

And that is going to be implemented or is it already?

Things work fine for the Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang in DCS 1.5.8, but nothing in DCS openalpha 2.2. As I said above, with the plugin patched into in DCS openalpha 2.2 everything works when I load DCS 1.5.8, but nothing when in DCS 2.2

I read the post noorbeast about the filtering but I am having trouble using the washout and return filters to stop the snapping across axis when rolling over 180 degrees but not having much luck. I have tried everything from 0 to 100%, combinations of etc with not much luck. Could someone please post their settings? I have a 2dof shoulder mount jrk 200w 12v motors. My base setting attached with no filtering. Or from what I have read yobuddy is working on a fix and best just to wait? Thanks.

Hello everyone, yesterday I downloaded the steam version of DCS and I have a strange problem.

The game is patched regularly and the plugin works (telemetry it's ok and the buttons "became blue" when the game running) but SimTools seems to ignore any value entered into the Tuning Center and in the Axis Values (I tried from 1% to 100% ...).

Nothing to do, the movements are always nervous and uncontrollable (as soon as I touch the stick, the platform moves instantaneously risking literally to throw me on the floor! ).

Is there something that escapes me? With other games (Assetto Corsa, Project Cars and Elite Dangerous for example ...) everything works perfectly.
Thank you

P.S.
my system language is set as English (United States of America) ...

Same problem with Euro Truck Simulator 2 Steam Edition

Hello @yobuddy !
Thanks for the feedback!

I had writing problems on the main hard disk, I think the problem was this.
Now the platform is less nervous in DCS and follows the parameters entered in simtools; last night I took a first take-off!
With Oculus Rift and 2DOF platform it's a real show!

Too bad that I suffer too much sickness!
I hope to be able to restart tests on the weekend!

Thanks again for your great SimTools !!!

It's true, this forum is great!
I love SimTools! Given the potential of the software, I would like to build a more advanced platform (6DOF) but unfortunately there is never time!

Hello Guys,

Just installed DCS from steam, 1.5.8.

Patched the game, as usual. (other games works well)

There are no any telemetry data, (game data - output) in the Tuning center, therefore no any motion on my 2dof sim.
Is there any trick what I missed? Firewall is off.

I using the two plane, provided in the free version of the game. Nothing special.

Any help would be awesome!

Thank you very much, in advance.

Well, the solution is, that in the Region Settings you must set not only the Location but the Formats to English (US) as well.
I think the reason is something related to the Numbers format. (decimal, list separators etc.)

I hope this would help others who are facing the same problem in the future.

It works like a charm now!
