DCSFIPS, Saitek/Logitech FIPs & DCS-WORLD

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Been banging my head with this for a good while now. Problem is that the gauges(FIPs) freeze (or hang) for some people but not on my PC. So I have made a test version for anyone having FIPs and willing to test it in the A-10C.

 

 

  • Requires DCS-BIOS, if you use DCSFlightpanels you are good to go
  • Start the program (DCSFIPS.exe)
  • Click "File" -> "New" -> Choose "A-10C"
  • The gauges will show once you are in your cockpit.
  • Gauges available are HSI and VVI

So, anyone NOT getting problems with hanging?? There is a combo/dropdown box there in which you can change the thread priority for the thread writing the images to the FIPs. Any difference which priority is active?

 

 

You can download it here.

Hi ArthurDCS!

 

Great news, that you are still improving your SW :thumbup:

It´s one of the Must Have SW with DCS

 

A small Feeedback, tested with latest 2.0 Alpha, 1.5.7 and DCS-BIOS v0.6.0

 

DCSFlightpanels_x64_2.1.699:

FIP is working

 

Performance is improved when CPU Priority is set to Highest

Still laggy but its working for me

 

DCSFIPS_x64_1.0.49:

Doesn't work :(

 

No FIP Image in the Setup Window of your SW

when I try to save a setting, I get an Error message like .... something with HidLibrary.dll.....

I took the dll-File from 2.1.699 -> resolved the Error message when saving (still no FIP Picture)

 

The FIPS 1.0.49 doesn't show the HSI or VVI

Hi Arthur!

I am starting to create a DCS Flightpanels profile for Mi-8. However, the radio panel does not seem to work. Log file provides the following message.

 

666 Custom message = [Via SaitekPanel.SetLastException()]
System.Exception
Failed to find control R863_FREQ for airframe Mi-8MT. Did you switch airframe type for the profile and have existing control(s) for the previous type saved?
Die Sequenz enthält kein übereinstimmendes Element.
  bei DCS_BIOS.DCSBIOSControlLocator.GetControl(String controlId)
  bei DCS_BIOS.DCSBIOSControlLocator.GetDCSBIOSOutput(String controlId)
  bei NonVisuals.RadioPanelPZ69Mi8.Startup()

 

What did I miss?

Hmm looks like you don't have the most recent DCS-BIOS.

OK. FIP support is removed in the next release of DCSFlightpanels and whether DCSFIPS will ever be anything looks a bit unlikely.. Thanks for your input!

  • 3 weeks later...

What does the error log say?

When you say laggy, how much lag? Can you post a video showing it?
