specel Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello, I made software for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet and Logitech G13, so you can use it as UFC. It displays all UFC information, like scratchpad, five option displays and COMM channels. I also included fuel totaliser to make use of this empty space. Four buttons below display act as COMM knobs. You still need to map keyboard, using Logitech Software and in game options. This software should work with other G-series keyboards with monochrome display. Here's the link, I hope there's more than just me using G13. https://github.com/specel/specelUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laidback Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 AWESOME!!! Now I can pull out my G13 again! Was using it as the UFC in BMS but couldn't find a good use for the Hornet! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG_Barons Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi specel, excellent program. Took me a while to get it running. However, very nice. Just a tiny problem... is there a way that the program recognize that i just ended the mission and started a new one? I always get an error and have to restart manually after I begin a new mission. Cheers LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specel Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi! Problem was known to me, but it is now fixed.

specel Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yup, I will - last modification in my program let me even easier expanding of it's functionality. But, for now, I need a little more time, beacause I have no idea, how to export DED data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specel Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks anyway, but i need different data for dcsbios, not rendered part of the svreen. I mean, we could just get bitmap from viewport, parse it into bytes and then put into g13 screen, but i would rather try to export this as bunch of strings - it would be also helpful for cockpit builders using dcsbios. Anyway, some progress has been made, its only matter of time to get this right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specel Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Sorry guys, it's much harder than I thought. I'm still working on and getting some help from other people. When we figure it out, I'll update software immediatly, so stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specel Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Good news, everyone: https://github.com/specel/specelUFC/releases With new version, you have to update DCSBIOS and replace one of the scripts in it - it's all in readme.md file, as well as on release page. As in current state of DCS F16 DED is not complete, there will be updates of software with new features added. However, it will require DCSBIOS updates, because my software is heavily dependent.

emc Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Hi all G13 users I need you help regarding Logitech G13 and thread I bought used G13 and I can't get it working... Feel dumb, how difficult can be configure G13. I assign keystroke to keys, assign profile to dcs.exe file and make profile active, but nothing happens when I hit keys. Then I discover problem with Logitech Gaming Virtual Bus Enumerator Driver: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) {Bad Image} %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x" I have driver version 8.85.75.0 from 2016-06-13. Window 10 1909 x64 Latest Logitech Gaming Software 9.02.65 from 2018-10-08 EDIT: Solution was turn off Core Isolation Memory Integrity as suggested here: after reboot driver was running fine! Can you check at your side, and which driver you have and where to find correct driver.

specel Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 emc, try test it on other computer, it seems to be defective G13. Can you even change something on G13, I mean, in LGS you can change key backlight colors, or try to download profile settings saved in device. If LGS cant see or connect with G13, it might be broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
