PaulDPearl Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Do you need help? DCSFlightpanels not working as it should? There are several people around that can and will help. Please help them in turn by providing from start enough information so they can narrow the problem down as quickly as possibly. Specify your operating system, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10?

I have just installed the files as described above, and everything is working but this. (I was also unable to test via the Chrome plugin as I have no "apps" to launch). I get a similar error if I attempt to use the "Formula Sandbox" (also shown in the video). I can collect and post the logs if I need to but here's the error from the log DCSFlightPanels log: (when clicking Options > Formula Sandbox) 31.05.2020 03:42:51 version : 1.0.261.6345 System.IO.FileNotFoundException Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

szadok Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi ArturDCS, Great application. Thank you very much. I have three Saitek Panels PZ70, PZ69 and FIP and I have few queries: 1. Is any chance for FIP support? I have seen that some effort has been taken in the past, but any plans for future? For HSI it would be perfect. 2. PZ70 query. This panel has several push-buttons with back-light. I see that current DCSFlightpanels version doesn't support these LED's control, or I didn't find this function within the app. Any plans to add this functionality in the future? 3. There is any function to turn-off 7segLED displays after I switch off DCS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmarsh Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 @szadok -- I can't speak for ArturDCS, but I seriously doubt we'll ever have FIP support for DCS. It's a very difficult thing to do and we never were able to get it working properly. With regard to the PZ70 panel, it's also unlikely to get LED control. Regarding turning off all LED displays and or lights, as on the Switch Panel, I use the Logitech test utilities. When you run these, the LEDs go through a test pattern. When you close the utilities, the panels go dark. I hope this helps. Thanks, Paul [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCSFlightpanels - Utility for Saitek Pro Flight Panels for DCS World Custom Saitek B.I.P.

PB0_Grizzlie Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 hello, I would like to understand how to set a time on a key assignment because I can't. Every time I right click to choose the time to press the key i get an error message that says "the object reference is not defined to an instance of an object" and my touch then comes back to the time of 32millisec.

Bombtastic Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi! I am currently having issues with DCSFlightpanels on IL2 Stalingrad. I hope it is not offtopic here in DCS forums. It used to work perfectly a couple of days ago (with the issue that it doesn't always recognize modifiers such as shift and only inputs the last letter) but now IL2 doesn't register the commands at all. The virtual keystrokes are being sent by DCSFP but Il2 does not get them. When I activate the switches anywhere I get the key presses. Even for engine start, which is E, when I press the specific switch, an E appears on everywhere, text file, virtual keyboards, the DCSFP logs, but in Il2 it doesn't do anything. When I press E on the physical keyboard, the engine does start. DCSFP is currently working in DCS. Have you ever had that happen to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbap Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Since last update, my Switch Panel (PZ55) profile doesn't work anymore with F-18C. I already downloaded last F-18c lua file but it still doesn't do anything in game. Anyone with this problem?

aviramad Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hi Alexbap, Try to check if you Export.Lua file if it didn't changed and it still include the line :- "dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])" The Export.Lua file located of course under: C:\Users\user name\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts and your updated DCS-BIOS folder must replace the old one in this Scripts directory. hope that i help Aviram_AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spger40 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 questions of understanding Hello, beautiful program, Does dcsfp run without DCS BIOS?

alexbap Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I use bios from link posted on first post. https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios/tree/master/Scripts/DCS-BIOS Until last dcs patch I didn't have any problem with DCS panels and I didn't do anything to my DCS other than patch itself. I didn't add any other mod or change any file. I thought that DCS Bios was broken by patch itself but it seems I'm the only one having this problem.

BlackLibrary Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 As you use our bios I can tell with last beta everything runs fine. But you should use the master branch when you use beta. The releases are for the stable.

alexbap Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks alot for your help, BlackLibrary. But what do you mean by master branch? Are you talking about bios? Isn't the one from the link I posted the correct one? Windows 7 Professional x64, EVGA GTX 1060 6GB, Intel Xeon W5650(i7) @ 4.1ghz, Asus P6TWS motherboard, 24gb DDR3, 500GB SSD.

alexbap Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I just did a DCS repair and installed bios from this link and problem remains. https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios/releases/ Inside DCS panels I can access to DCS bios comands to change my profile and when I use switches or gear handle it shows moving on DCS panels but it just doesn't comunicate with DCS. I don't know if this helps but here are last lines from DCSFlightpanels_error_log.txt.

BlackLibrary Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 ok to clarify it. there are two version of BIOS https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios/releases/ this is the HUB version need to change the patch in settings to the JSON files. also is outdated the first link is our BIOS Fork. the releases https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios/releases/tag/0.7.35 are for stable DCS master branch ist this https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios (hit the green CODE Button to download it) this is recomended for the Beta DCS aka WarLord DCSFlightpanels DCS-BIOS Fork DCSFlightpanels arduino-library DCSFlightpanels DCSFlightpanels-Profiles DCS FP / BIOS Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tykell Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hey guys, I'm currently trying to set up my binds in DCSFlightPanels (The BIOS is confirmed working) and I keep getting this error. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEEP Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hi I am no expert but try this. If you are using DCSFP as a key emulator you would left mouse click on the gear down box , the box is now yellow. The key bind for gear down in the F18 is LSHIFT+G. Now i am assuming you want to use key binds with DCS bios because you get that error because LSHIFT means nothing as it is not associated with a FA18 DCS-BIOS command. You program it by right clicking on the gear down box and pick Edit DCS-BIOS Control. Click on New and type in gear. Click on gear lever. in enter value sent to DCS-Bios put in 0 (gear down is 0 , gear up is 1) press OK. In description type gear down. Gear down is now programmed. On the very first post on this thread are some helpful youtube tutorials and other information. These helped me a lot when i first started.

kimkiller Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have had several problems lately with the DCS BIOS and Flightpanels. In post #1268 it is explained that if you are using Open Beta DCS you need to use the master branch DCS BIOS. I have downloaded it but i cannot find any programfile that installs it. Please help.
