I’ll give it another try…

F-18 SLAM-ER when launched with Steer Points stills seem to circle…. It was at an SA-10, so near a SAM site. I’ll attach a Tacview later.

That is great and I will give it a go…. I’ll report back here idc Would I be right in saying we can define an LED output for any switch. So we could have a DcsBios::LED LTDR(?x???, ?x????, pin?) ???

I have read all this and have a little lack of knowledge. That may also apply to others, so I will use the aviation excuse that “there are no dumb questions” and “never assume, check” and ask… 1. DUE? 2. FASTLED 3. I did work out what a Darlington Cascade is - An electronic circuit using two or more transistors to multiply current gain enough to power the magnetic coils. @No1sonuk - As I am in VR, I have no interest in cockpit lighting, so I like your solution. I can redesign my switches to have SPDT so would like to use your solution. Would you expand on your information for me please, maybe via PM, or here if it helps everyone..

Yes, I realise that. I wondered if any failures had been modelled that would cause a CCT BKR to trip??

Does any one know if there is anything in the current F/A-18C that will trip a circuit breaker, please? Thanks.

Does anyone know of any conditions that might cause any of the circuit breakers to trip within the F/A-18C module. I am NOT talking about conditions listed within the A1-F18AC-NFM-000. I mean conditions within the game. I am looking to use actual circuit breakers and it would be useful to identify, the breaker tripping and use a FET to drive enough current to actually trip the circuit breaker for real.

The links in the first two posts no. Longer seem to work. May we have updated links please…

How do we use this for the Nevada Map please?

L Thanks. I will try this out. We will slowly get there. !!! Edit: diodes added https://drive.google.com/file/d/101dL8J1KsUmTymxrboTi0x-fKPqR-cGt/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a solution using software called SVMapper - There is a link to it on here. This software runs parallel with DCS and sees the boards (Leo Bodnar BU0836A for example) the switch is connected to. Use a Momentary-Off-ON switch. The cover forces the switch to Mom. When to cover is lifted the switch moves itself to Off. This can be detected by SVMapper and used to send the keyboard Command for Cover Up. The switch can now be moved to ON When the cover is closed the switch is forced to Mom and SVMapper can detect this and send the keyboard command for Cover Down. I also use this for the Spin Recovery switch.

I am having similar trouble and may have toasted a MOSFET due to back EMF. Would you nominate a diode (to order - AliExpress maybe) and add it to your circuit diagram for clarity, please? I am using the 4 channel version of the same board as @Studsmcgee, and have single channel version on order. DCS:Bios - I am also very new to C++ and DCS Bios. My controls are combined with other controls of the Left Hand Rear Panel of the F-18. So, I am intending Coils for; APU, Crank Left, Crank Right and Fuel Dump switches. Hence the 4 Channel MOSFET board. I am also working on the Launch Bar and Hook Bypass switches. For these I need to detect the Release conditions: All switches - Loss of all electrical power to the aircraft. It is hard to identify which combination of Batt, L Gen & R Gen causes each switch to release. APU - “Returns to OFF 1 minute after the second generator comes on the line provided the bleed air knob is not in AUG PULL.” Crank Left & Right - Engine reaching “self-sustaining rpm” (I am assuming >60% Ng) Fuel Dump - “BINGO” signal, “FUEL LO” signal and I am researching anything else. Launch Bar - “At the completion of the catapult stroke, launch bar/catapult separation occurs and the return springs cause launch bar retraction …”. So we can detect this with Weight on Wheels maybe. I don’t know if WonW is a DCS Bios signal! Or Gear up (which is a bit backwards)!!! Hook Bypass - “… automatically goes to CARRIER when the arresting hook is lowered or aircraft power is removed.” I have yet to consider the four Ground Power switches or the Laser Arm switch.

I believe that to be true.

Thanks I have been wondering about this. :thumbup:

It seems to have fixed itself!!! Nope - Still doing it. So,SRS gets a TR against the radio WITHOUT VA running. When VA is runing using the ViacomPro App I get this double transmit request that causes the SRS window TR to flash momentarily!!! Any Ideas guys?
