DCS / Re: DCStoF4 (Standalone version)
« Last post by Rambowski on April 09, 2024, 03:19:46 PM »
Hello,
RWR does not currently work on DCS-BIOS or DCStoF4. DCS does not provide data for RWR or eHSI. They have gone to the single export of these 2 screens.
I'll have to test to see if DCS-BIOS is in conflict but in my last tests all worked.
Try placing the line for DCStoF4 before DCS-BIOS.
This week I won't have time.
Can anyone help?

I was just wondering if you were able to test the interaction between  DCS BIOS Skunkworks and DCStoF4?

DCS / Re: DCStoF4 (Standalone version)

I'm happy someone else wants to have a hybrid DCS/BMS CPD  :biggrin:

Thank you for the tips! I tried them but I couldnt get it to work on with me. DCStF4 seems to work correctly and prints out all the data it is interposing. However, YAME64/The CPD just sits blank with the text "Waiting for BMS" and doesnt work.

For your YAME setup, what version are you using? I have both the "New(?)" v1.2.1, and also a 2.0.0.44 version. With BMS the only version i could get to work at all was the 2.0.0.44 version, the v1.2.1 i couldnt even get to look for BMS/launch the CPD window (the direct data input option was greyed out, with the only option being "get data from server"). Its likely something I've messed up, i could not completely follow your steps as YAME64 auto-launches BMS or it wont open the CPD for some reason.

My startup sequence was;

1. Start DCStoF4
2. Start YAME64 and (auto)launch BMS + CPD through YAME client.
3. Minimise BMS and Start DCS, load into mission. At this point the DCStoF4 window would begin printing, but CPD would still be inactive.

Do you have your YAME set to pull data direct from BMS or set to a local server at 127.0.0.1? If the server, what port do you use?

Also, does DCStoF4 convert values both ways? I have a DED & arduinos programmed to DCS-BIOS, would i have to reporgramme to BMS and then use DCStoF4 to interpose the values? How do you do it with your panels?

Thank you for all your help, I greatly appreciate it  :)

DCS / Re: DCStoF4 (Standalone version)

I'm doing same thing like you. I'd make a CPD for BMS and wish to use it on DCS, the only way is use DCStF4 and I'd make part successful.

My way is

1.start BMS and let it stop in UI
2.start DCStoF4
3.start YAME64
4.Start DCS and make sure DCStoF4 is connect

This way DCStoF4 will copy the data from DCS and convert them to shared memories, so YAME64 can display flight data of DCS.

Welcome to ask more if these helps.:D

Hello,
I have been wanting to build my F16 pit for quite a while now (slowed by work, poor health and indecisiveness), but I have wanted it to work with both DCS and BMS (New-ish to BMS but would like to use it primarily, but used to DCS for MP servers etc).

I’ve only just come across this thread and your software regarding being able to use both simulators with hardware panels (which is AWESOME). But I’m a little confused;

Does this software take BMS outputs (like LED states, DED readouts and such) and convert them to work with DCS BIOS? Or does it take DCS Outputs and convert it to panels that are programmed for BMS (Pokeys, F4TS, etc?).

My aim was to build a pit with a CPD (so YAME64?) but because of USB problems in my current cockpit I wanted to use the DCS-BIOS implementation of RS485 serial with MAX487 modules to connect all of the panels to my PC. I realise I can’t use DCS-BIOS with BMS, or would this software allow that?

BMS is worth it if I have to abandon RS485 and use USB connected Arduino’s, but I just wondered if I could in fact get away with RS485 and BMS using your software?

If not, I’m guessing the alternative is programme my arduinos for BMS first (F4TS?), then use this software to convert the DCS outputs to the BMS programming they are already programmed to?

My apologies if this is a silly question, and thank you for your help  :)
