Cool RD.

I just started on this DCStoF4 and I did what oliver describe in his first post, but cant get it to work.

Im testing just with some of Pegasus instruments on my test pc.

FFI, DED, AOA, VVI and the EADI but nothing works in DCS.

I have copied the files into my game save folder, start BMS in 2D, run DedCapture and it reads the SM, set the port in dedcapture to 8082 as martin describe, and then run DCS, but nothing is getting from DCS to the BMS SM and then to the instruments.

I guess there is a simple solution to this, and I have forgot something here.

All have access through FW and the folders I use are excluded from defender and I have nothing else security on the test PC.

Any help/hints would be apriciated.

Hello Kukki,

Do you use DedCapture V2 or DedCapture V3 from Martin?

If you use V3, please can you test with V2?

When you fly in DCS, LDCStoF4 of DCStoF4-Mic display lines constantly. Like the example below?
(See picture below)

Hello,
DedCapture V3 works with BMS for you?

Actually, my DED usb not works with V3 (Datas send to Martin) for DCS and BMS. With V2 my DED is ok
Tomorrow i will test with eADI, AOA and VVI with V3.

yes V3 works perfect with all for me and BMS 4.35

I have the DED in usb version and in LAN version and both works perfect.

Good evening Kukki,
In DedCapture V3, when "F4" is selected in "General settings", the instruments have the Shared memory variables automatically filled in.
example :

AOA
https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/1hgr.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


VVI
https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/2two.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


eADI

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/z59g.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


DED

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/sz5g.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


But when you select "DCS" in "general settings", these same fields are empty. You have to fill them in (Moreover, there is a problem with the eADI for that).

example :

AOA

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/rqsv.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


VVI

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/8nhm.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


eADI

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=21/45/7xvf.jpg
DCStoF4 (Standalone version)


Did you fill them?

Or, much simpler, leave the setting at "F4" and test DCS with DCStoF4.
For me it works.
At least that will make it possible to verify.
The keyboard commands will not be good but for the test.

That is what im doing, all settings is for F4 BMS and I use the DCSt0F4 program, but still no joy.   Martin will look at it here in the weekend.
Im sure im doing something wrong or forget something, but I followed your guide.

I have also tried to install DCS Bios, but dont think that has something to be used for when using your program.

Little bit of an experience return with some weird compatibility issues

Failing to be able to get YAME to display on top of all windows, I decided to give Helios a try to export the CP gauges.
Helios, like DCStoF4 (and others) need their own line in the export.lua files

If you declare DCStoF4 after Helios in the export.lua file, then Helios dos not work. DCStoF4 works
If you declare DCStoF4 before Helios, then Helios and DCStoF4 works

I found the issue testing my setup with stable DCS (which is not using DCStoF4) and when all was working fine with Helios I did the same with DCSbeta (which is using DCStoF4) but Helios never worked until very late Sunday when having tried all the other options, I finally decided to check if by chance it would work if I switched the declaration in the export.lua files.
And of course that worked.

So if you have such issue, make sure you declare first the DCStoF4 dofiles and then the Helios Dofiles lines in the export.lua

Hello Kukki,

I installed version 0.10b, can you test it to see if it works?
