Simpit Software from SDA

At the moment there is probably still a problem that we have to solve. I am actually finished.

I think it's good.

Looking really good, thanks for the hard work!

Anyone working on the Gazelle ? :) Or can I just steal a few gauges from other helio's and make a generic panel ?

The Gazelle will be the next project after the summer break.

Sweet! ...Thanks :thumbup:

Hallo Heinz,

Has a the Bf-109K profile been updated with fixes at the GitHub site?

Thanks,

Never mind... I checked and files are five months old. Answered my question. :)

I registered in these forums to express my gratitude to the developers of this wonderful software! I am converting over to DCS after many years with Falcon BMS, and Ikarus has provided a near plug-and-play solution for my triple-monitor/touchscreen setup with very little (if any) lag that I can see.

I did notice a few glitches in the full-featured F-5E-3 profile that comes packaged with the software, and I tried to fix them as best as I could (you will want to check my work before doing anything important with it, as I am not a programmer and also was relying on Google Translate for the Ikarus documentation).

1. The airspeed indicator (instrument #5) had a bug that caused the IAS needle to become erratic between 250 and 300 knots (the needle would suddenly jump to about 400 knots). I traced this back to a typo in the input field, and in doing so I also found that the latest input/output values in the F-5E export script had been updated to include 20 data points (rather than 16). So I updated everything and the IAS needle now appears to work properly.

2. The fuel autobalance switch (switch #11) was mispositioned, appearing several inches to the right of the proper panel location. This switch is rotated 90 degrees and Ikarus seems to have trouble with positioning rotated switches properly in editor mode. I was finally able to fix it by moving the switch only while it was at 0 degrees rotation, then rotating it to 90 degrees (this took some trial and error since the center of rotation is not in the middle of the switch).

3. A similar problem appeared with the nav mode selector switch (switch #81), which is the other switch in this profile that is rotated 90 degrees.

Things that I tried to fix but could not:

a. Mach speed indicator -- I can't find the texture for the mach placard, and in any event I don't know how to translate the behavior of this instrument into Ikarus' input/output fields. As I understand it, the mach placard rotates based on barometric altitude and shares the same needle position as the IAS needle. But the mach dial increments are also nonlinear in a different way from the knots dial, so...? Sad face with hurting head for me. (As I understand that some people have reported to Belsimtek that the mach-meter is currently implemented incorrectly, it might be best to wait for the update before spending too much effort trying to fix it.)

b. The whiskey compass is currently stuck. I tried to at least fix the heading by tying the value to the HSI heading indicator (DCS ID 32), but no matter what values I placed into the input/output fields, the compass would always rotate half as fast as it should (i.e., when at 060, the compass would indicate 030), and at compass heading 180 would snap back to 000. I eventually gave up on this one too.

I have attached my F5E.ikarus file with my small fixes in case it is useful. Keep up the good work!

Cool RJ ...thanks!

Viggen looks good :thumbup: 1

First of all, apologies for repeat the same question or dude... in 22 pages of this threat i lost myself many times...

I want to build a cockpit with two screens, one of them like a central panel with a touchscreen in which to export the instruments, swithes and MFD screens.

A few years ago, I made one with Helios for the KA50 module.

So I did not use a touch screen as a secondary, and I remember that the performance of the system went down a little, in addition to some instruments were visualized with some delay.

Now I read that with Ikarus, everything is simpler and seems to work very well, but I don´t see an installation and configuration guide.

That is why my doubts.

Ikarus software works like Helios?? Works correctly with touchscreens???

Is there any tutorial or video on youtube showing how it works?

Do we install DAC with Ikarus to export the instruments and switches???

When an update is launched, will the Ikarus configuration be deleted ?

Thanks.

Pd.

With that name, this software has to be in my system.

Same question here. I am happily using Helios on multi touch screens. I am looking at Ikarus but I cannot find in all those pages if it is just a software that displays the instruments or if it can also accepts inputs like what Helios is doing so you can flip switches on the touch screens?

Ikarus supports touchevents.

Not at the moment. It is very easy to use. We are still looking for someone who can.

No.

Please copy only the application (exe).

Just try it. :smilewink:

In the Viggen it doesn't appear the RWR lights around the radar are in sync with the ones in the game ..anyone else notice this?

Is the Viggen profile released?

Is the Viggen profile released?

It t was in the latest release I downloaded last week..

nice pit Sully_pa! But there should be a newer version for the Viggen.

How did you get the radar viewport into the simpit gauges? I previously tried with the Mig 21 and could never get Helios and simpit to work together.

Thanks!..and thanks for the great software! .I thought I got the latest version ...hmmm ...I'll check into it again

That is in the software ...the actual radar screen isn't ported to it just the RWR ...in this version it seems the rwr is not synced correctly...

Sully pa

Okay. I have not flown the Viggen for some time and thought I saw a radar screen. However, I know that Helios and simpit can work together, but I have never been able to do it. There are instructions in simpit to do it, but it is beyond my skills. If you want to work on this with me, let me know and perhaps we can solve the problem.

Sully pa

I just put up the Viggen Ikanus pit and did not see the RWR so did you add that yourself?

Hello,

we have again made a few "small additions" and bug fixes on our software.

DCS ExportScript

• optimizing function calls (thanks [FSF]Ian for tips)
  
• add AJS37 Viggen
  
• A-10C Export repaired (TACAN IDs and TACAN frequency)
  

Ikarus

• add AJS37 Viggen profile
  
• A-10C, F-5E-3, UH-1H equipped with a 3D ADI
  

DAC

• performance and memory optimizing
  
• add AJS37 Viggen
  

The ExportScript is compatible to DCS World version 1.5.7 and 2.1.1.
