Looks like for us pitbuilders this one is not really important, since the lights are controlled by the software anyways... 33
Falcon BMS / Re: Customizing Default Point of View in BMS« Last post by Sneakpeek on April 17, 2024, 11:53:20 PM »I have the exact same problem.
Managed to soothen it by raising the seat a bit. Never got it to work perfectly though, as the size of the HUD on my screen setup (214°) is way off the size on my "physical HUD". But it works alright most of the time and the gain in immersion outweighs it big time. Didn't know the HUD-View only tool. While it seems OK (to look around, you'd have to assign a keybinding then, I think), I suppose that it might break the multiplayer data integrity check of BMS. Same goes for custom views. Not sure about that, though. I still hope, that BMS will come up with a solution sometime. Cheers, SP 34

There are two roller switches! That's a new puzzle for me too 35
Falcon BMS / Re: Last BMS version and the CANOPY SPIDER« Last post by Tulkas on April 17, 2024, 01:58:56 PM »Thanks, that is what I thought and makes more.
However there is one more switch/actuator that Blaze identifies in the picture above as the one inflating the seal, that's the one I wonder if I have any need to install for the future 🤔 I still don't get it, if in the real plane you use the toggle switch to lower or raise the canopy, why would we want in our cockpits the roller switch to do that job?The toggle switch is to raise/lower the canopy, I believe the roller switch then locks/seals the cockpit. Both the toggle switch and the roller switch (via the spider) is implemented in BMS. 36

DCS / Re: DCStoF4 (Standalone version)« Last post by Jakkuh-15 on April 17, 2024, 09:36:07 AM »Well, do remember one thing, if your lights work with BMS without DCSbios, then these lights should work on their own with DCStoF4 without DCSbios with DCS So basically, setup everything (Arduino driving LED's, Simshaker, etc) for BMS Shared mem, then use DCStoF4 to convert it all back to DCS. Rather than having specific software (simshaker, DCS-BIOS, etc) for DCS, and specific for BMS, to avoid DCS' flaky declarations? Makes sense, things should be much simpler with DCStoF4. Can you use arduinos other than a mega with F4TS? I understand you couldn't run several OLED's (DED/PFL/FFI) using an uno because of memory constraints, but for simple LED could I get away with Uno's? The documentation seems to say only Mega's can be used (be nice if I could use wired ESP32's as well, but thats another thing entirely) 39
Falcon BMS / Re: Last BMS version and the CANOPY SPIDER« Last post by Cupra on April 17, 2024, 08:59:19 AM »I did not have acces to a real roller switch, but did not care. I just used a normal dip s switch for the roller replacement, and a 2nd 2 pole swtich for up / down.
I used a switch with 2 circles because so I have 1 circle for use in the sim and also, if available later to control a real motor to drive the canopy... 40
Falcon BMS / Re: Last BMS version and the CANOPY SPIDER« Last post by Tulkas on April 17, 2024, 08:46:01 AM »In the new release of BMS, that roller switch is supported. It indicates that the canopy is closed. I still don't get it, if in the real plane you use the toggle switch to lower or raise the canopy, why would we want in our cockpits the roller switch to do that job? |
