Digital Combat Simulator – DCS Plugin 2.0.0.0

Hi, does the plugin support the steam version? I cannot seem to get it to work although it installed without any errors.

thank you

So far DCS is kicking my butt, struggling with the inversion point coming out of the roll:

any recommendations please?

I finally got round to swapping to Simtools v 2.0 and things work beautifully with Cliffs of Dover. Should DCS plugin 2.0.0.0 work with DCS World 2 Open Alpha? At the mo I am getting no telemetry.

Hi
copy all config from user dcs (stable) to user dcs alfa or beta

Thanks. Just tried that. DCS v 1.5 works fine, but DCS v 2.1 Open Alpha nothing.

hi works fine for my... all version....alfa ,beta

To enable the telemetry output you must patch the GameManager DCS plugin to point where ever Export.lua is located for your version of DCS that you want to run. When you patch it, the Export.lua gets changed to enable the output. <EDITED INCORRECT INFO OUT> (Or just run patch again to the other DCS installation directory to load in the new Export.lua file.) Always backup the Export.lua if you can prior to doing anything as a precaution.

Also if you do modify the contents of Export.lua for any reason, and there is an error in that file, you will not get output even though it is patched. The only way you can tell is by looking at the dsc.log file and searching for "Export" in it. If it finds an entry in the log, it means that there is an error in the Export.lua and you won't get any output. (It usually gives a hint to the line number in the file where the error occured.)

Thanks for the advice. I will try it out when I am back home in a couple of days.

I downloaded the free steam game and I do not get any movement, the patch is put in the game folder? because it says where the games are saved but I can not find that folder, for now I've only been able to run simtools in corsa assetto, I'm a bit frustrated ..

@hugso,
Just tried copying over the export.lua from my working DCS 2.2 to DCS 1.5.8 and I didn't get motion in 1.5.8 (GameManager was still pointing to the DCS 2.2 directory) In theory it should work but it isn't.

I will try a few things to get both 2.2 and 1.5.8 working with motion and post here.

@evolaco,
I dont have the steam version but both my DCS version saved games directories are at

C:\Users\Dave\Saved Games\DCS
C:\Users\Dave\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha

I am guessing for steam is would still be something like;

C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\

Need someone with a steam install to confirm that.

Can you download the game from the web directly free as in steam?

I have managed to make it work, but there is something that I like, I use pitch and roll, but when making a full turn when it goes down, the axes change sideways, can not this be corrected? the normal thing would be that when you go 90 degrees start to focus again

washout gain I never understood how it works, the problem is not the smoothing, is that when you go 180º turn (avion cabin down) changes the value of blow to the other side, is that correctable?

What aircraft has motion telemetry witht the standard DCS plugin? I am only getting telemetry for the Su-25T on the Free Version. The Flaming Cliffs aircraft are the only other aircraft using standard I/O telemetry as far as I can tell.

@hugso,
I had to unpatch 2.2 and patch to 1.5.8 to get 1.5.8 to work. I am guessing that I would need to unpatch 1.5.8 and patch to 2.2 to get 2.2 to work. (Determines where GameManager is looking for DCS?)

The merger of the two versions is coming soon so all this may be a moot point.

Still cannot get telemetry from DCS World 2 OpenAlpha. I have patched into DCS OpenAlpha and I can see the SimTools export lua has replaced the info export lua, but no telemetry out. DCS World 1.5.8 works fine, even with the patch in OpenAlpha (and not in DCS World 1.5.8). Any ideas?
