Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC

Shipped on Feb 8 and received in New Jersey, USA on Feb 16. There was much rejoicing.

Through no help by the USPS, mine was finally delivered a few days late and I am just THRILLED with it!

Thank You Bamse for a fabulous product!

I have an issue with mine: the lower DEPR rocker button and both INTEN rocker buttons register in DCS, but not in the Windows control panel, or in other sims. I've attached a picture to show which buttons.

What's the button number when you press the two rocker buttons? If it's above 32, then the USB game controllers panel won't show it, and some sims can only support up to 32 buttons per controller.

That was it, thanks Ranma!

Hi Bamse, any news on new product development? F-18, other planes?

Any clue about mc light work in windows 7 ?

If Buddy-Fox puts out an F18 UFC with the same quality as the A10C, it's a day-1 buy for me.

Get in line... ;-)

Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC setup and test

I have detailed set up and test of the Buddy-Fox UFC here:

Thanks for this video. I was also unable to get the Master Caution light to function until I saw what I was doing wrong.

Any update on Raygun development? :)

I would be glad to have "Master Caution" light to work on other planes than just A-10C

Received my BuddyFox UFC controller today. Had some issues finding a port that would power it. I had one last available USB 3,0 port off a 7 hub powered hub. The hub would not provide enough amps for the BuddyFox. It looks to be a hungry little gizmo. Would not work at all on a 7 port usb 2.0 powered hub. I crossed my fingers and plugged it into the top of the case 3.0 port. Worked! Looks a bit untidy but it's running and working. Now to learn how to use it. :thumbup:

Might as well do it right.

Hello,

 

 

We made an A-10C UFC for sale.

 

 

It's a plug 'n play USB device, 35 backlit buttons with dimming and a working Master Caution light.

 

 

You can read more about it from www.buddy-fox.com

 

I had a quick question. Would you ever consider setting the keys separately? Or even creating ones that match the other planes (F/A 18 for example)? This way, we can build button boxes that look more polished.

Love the A10 UFC by the way.

Received my BuddyFox UFC controller. Wow is it nice!!! Quick question, is it possible to automatically start the Raygun.exe application when I start DCS? I keep forgetting to start it.

You can create a batch file that launches raygun then DCS.

Or you can just have raygun start as part of the startup.

Excellent idea about the batch file! Didn't think of that. Thank you!!

Does anyone have a Buddy Fox F-18 profile you’d be willing to share? I bought this to use with the F-18 (it is an A-10C UFC, I know), and I am hoping that someone will be willing to share :)

I wrote a .bat script to automatically start Raygun before DCS. Just thought I would post it here in case anyone else is looking to do the same.

REM check running programs to see if Raygun.exe is already running
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq Raygun.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "Raygun.exe">NUL

REM if Raygun is not running, start it
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" start "" "C:\Program Files\Raygun\Raygun.exe"

REM start DCS
start "" "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe"

Bump

I love my A10 UFC, it's really useful for Hornet and Viggen as well but I have one issue. Whenever I restart my computer I need to pull out the UFC usb and plug it back in for it to be recognized again. Any idea why that is?

Not really sure but try a USB port directly in the computer or a powered USB hub if you haven't already.

I have tried several usb ports, first I had it connected to the back of the computer, tried different ones there. Now I have it connected to the back of the monitor just because it's easier to pull it out and put back in quickly.

Same thing here:(

....and The Reygun program to the Panel does not work with SimShaker-Wings toghether with the SimShaker Soundmodule. They seem to conflict with eachother.

But the Buddy-Fox panel is great!:)

Edit:

Upgraded windows to 1809 and the USB problem disapeared.

Raygun works if you make it the first in export.lua

local dcsRg=require('lfs');dofile(dcsRg.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-raygun.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]])

local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')

local vaicomlfs = require('lfs'); dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]])

local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]]

I have connected it to USB HUB with a On/Off button, to make life easier. But behavior is the same.
