Thanks for the Andriod love! However, using the Java setup, I'm unable to specify the correct path to locate DCS A-10C. My DCSWorld path is: A:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\DCSWorld

 

Am I missing something?

Problem :-(

 

Hi,

I got a little problem with the server part.

It says it can not find my DCS World Directory.

 

What I did:

- Klicking "Locate DCS a-10C"

- Navifgate to "G:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS_World", klick on "Open"

 

Then the Message appears "Cannot locate DCS Worl folder"

 

Am I doing something wronG????

Gentleman,

thank you for your feedback and sorry for the delay (I am at new company from start of this week)

 

@skywarn:

I think that you have steam version of DCS world, is your path where you have steam games really starting with letter A: ?

 

@Ensi Ferrum

Do you have German version of A-10C ?

I think the problem is in underscore character in folder DCS_World. Is this standard path or do you change it during installation process of DCS world ?

 

Anyway I will fix detection process and will release fixed DCS panels Pro version 1.0.2 within 1-2 days on lumatek.sk

 

Thank you !

 

Cheers,

Lubos

English version of A-10C.

The underscore is not the standard path.

Thanks for the bugfix! It recognized the directory. Is it possible to get it to remember that directory? I am having trouble connecting to the server after I respawn a new aircraft or I switch modes in DCSPanelsPro on my tablet; It doesn't reconnect after switching. And for some reason my switches are not working, but I haven't checked the keymappings yet. Thanks again @colo for the work!

I will fix path remembering within 1 day

 

Regarding switching instruments on tablet - this is known limitation

Currently only online switching of left & right MFCD is possible.

 

I plan to implement online switching of CDU instrument also,

but updates on server side and client side are needed.

There were some questions about differences between Android free version vs payed Pro version client.

 

Free vs Pro

 

If you buy Pro version you have:

 

  • good feeling that you support my work :book: – I am not professional developer and this is my first Android app – I have invest about 200 hours in development
  • 2 network ports instead of 3 are used in assisted mode
  • online switching between left and right MFCDs
  • you can select which MFCDs is displayed at start
  • no MFCDs flickering in dual MFCDs mode
  • assisted config for 2 monitors (manual mode still available)
  • screen rotation possible (usefull for some tablets due charger)
  • CDU Steer point & Page rotary buttons control

 

Planed improvements in Pro version 1.1:

 

  • only one network port for communication (assisted mode)
  • fullscreen CDU mode (no titlebar)
  • online switching between MFCDs and CDU without app restarting (currently only online switching of left/right MFCDs is supported)

Version 1.1 will be released within one month.
