Simpit Software from SDA

I'm having some crazy performance issues running this software. Lets talk about my setup first, though, 4 Displays:

1x Primary: ASUS ROG 34" 3440x1440

3x Secondary 8" 800x600

 

I'm running DCS in windowed mode, with the game extended to the secondary monitors. I have setup the F-15 to export two separate 'windows' to two of the monitors (one of HSI and one for ADI).

 

In the Export.lua file I have added the line:

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

 

When Ikarus is running (or even not running) I am seeing wild frame rates between 19-30fps. When I comment out the dofile line my frames stay contantly at 60FPS.

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

 

Is this a known issue? I tried searching this thread but didn't see any direct answers. You'll find my computer setup below in my signature. When I'm running all 4 monitors I turn off SLI and have one of the GTX 1080Ti devoted to the secondary monitors.

 

Thoughts??

Have you ever tested a different module?

I do not see a performance problem here when Ikarus runs. DCS runs very smoothly with 60 fps.

Yes. Same result with the A-10c as well.

Which DCS version do you use?

Which DCS version do you use?

2.5 and 2.5.1; I'm seeing similar performance in both.

I'm using 2.5.0 Strange ... There's nobody here to comment on it either. Also the beta team did not report something like that.

Thanks Ray

 

 

This one is a little more tricky since there are 2 layers. I was able to make the Harrier VHF radio window transparent, but the radio data will not export through the Base panel AND the VHF panel? I dont know how to do that?

I have not progressed past this as of yet. I am still trying to figure out how to make it work. Sorry I cant be of any more help at this time.

I'm using 2.5.0 Strange ... There's nobody here to comment on it either. Also the beta team did not report something like that.

2.5, 2 screes 1920*1080 one over the other (so it is 1920*2160) with GTX1070 with A10-C Ikarus, high setting @60FPS steaday

Hello Dear H-J-P Team

First at all thanks for this sweet enhancement into DCS. Im pretty much new to build a virtual Cockpit. Im running a local host and displayed the A-10C, F15C and other modules on a second Monitor, which runs fine except, all the Gauges (ASI, ADI and others) and Buttons functions lagging behind, means If I make turn/climb the initial response time to transmit on the second monitor is approximately one second behind the actual aircraft?

Any solution ?

Thanks in advance :)

So my frames are now solid at 60 fps when I modified the Config.lua file in the DCS-ExportScript folder; I highlighted the changes I made, in red. I'm curious why this has an impact on my frames, but it most certainly does.

Also, I've noticed the HSI Mileage in the F-15 is off by like 12 miles or so (IE: 5 miles actual: 17 miles displayed in the export) any way to fix this?

But then the switches will not work anymore. You have turned off the listener from the export script. So it's not an Ikarus problem. However, it remains strange.

You should contact McMicha. He is responsible for scripting (lua - files).

Of course this is not normal. I do not see this behavior here. Which Ikarus version do you use? Are errors displayed in the log tab?

I tried both Version 1.2.4.1b and 1.2.3.1 both showing the same behavior with no error indicating within the log file, does Screenshot help from the log ?

Here the screenshot

I think the problem has nothing to do with Ikarus. If it were, then I would see it here too.

Thanks Ray

 

 

This one is a little more tricky since there are 2 layers. I was able to make the Harrier VHF radio window transparent, but the radio data will not export through the Base panel AND the VHF panel? I dont know how to do that?

Ok, I have been stuck on this for a solid week trying to search for a 'How To'? Im not a coder, just an end user, maybe thats the problem? Ive learned quite a bit, but not how to get the exported data displayed on a 2nd transparent screen? I was not able to repost the screen shot of this a 2nd time, but the picture is located in this thread post# 635 if anyone can lead me to a procedure that allows this to work? Thank you.

I am a coder, but if I do not get the chance to retrieve the data, then I am helpless too. We searched many IDs. Unfortunately, without done.

Im not sure what your stating to be honest? Are you in need of something from me to review to resolve this?

Thanks Ray for the nice video. And yes, I will also install the switch for the canopy.

allo

any update?

Thanks anyway

Hello rudellj,

I have tested this now and could not find any such abnormalities.

Please test it again without your changes to the Config.lua file and post the dcs.log and export.log file here.

The error with the distance in the HSI may have something to do with the fact that we don't get a corresponding value from the game but have to calculate one.

We get the coordinates of the player's plane and the coordinates of the selected waypoint and do a triangle calculation.

In the case of the F-15C and the A-10A, the meter result must still be converted into miles.

Maybe there is an error somewhere, or the calculation depends on the played map.

Maybe you're better at mathematics and can help me?

Hello Fakum,

we are currently working on exporting some of the display values.

Then the values can be displayed on our display classes.

Hello flyelmo,

please post the dcs.log and export.log file here.

Thanks for the response. I am already able to export the data in question, I just cant get it to be visible on the panel. The data exports just fine on a blank screen.

Hello Micha

attached you will find both log files.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello Micha

 

attached you will find both log files.

 

Thanks in advance :)

Thank you.

Do you use Tacview?

Please test without Tacview!

Deactivation the Tacview export on Export.lua file.

I have a custom P-51D Ikarus profile that displays instruments on my 2 LCD instrument displays; however I can not get the P51FuelQFuselage gage to function. Here are Instrumentfunction data

 

0.0,0.12,0.28,0.40,0.51,0.62,0.72,0.83,0.96,1.00 0.0,0.12,0.28,0.40,0.51,0.62,0.72,0.83,0.96,1.00

Any help available? All other instruments work flawlessly. Great utility! DCSW 2.5 and Ikarus download of Apr 2018.

Bump, since no replies. Anyone made the gas gage work?
