DCS-BIOS, if you are using DCS-BIOS then make sure the setting DCS-BIOS json location points to the correct folder. Usually the default setting is correct but if you are using DCS openbeta then you will have to change this. Leftmost number on lower LCD row (0x0-0x9, 0xA above will darken the digit position, except 0xEE which will show a dash)
Any data from HWInfo can (optionally) be displayed. This also works when Elite Dangerous is not running. Tried to create this panel, for controlling MFD. I just upgraded to a new PC from an old where everything worked fine and for some bizarre reason, the FIP panels are not recognized by Windows on my new PC. When I start Spad.next, it says “The FIP with Serial MZXXXXXXXX could not be found. This is most likely because the Saitek FIP Drivers are not installed.” It displays this message for each of my 6 FIPs. The other Logitech products work fine.ArturDCS is already thinking ahead to the MultiPanel. As this was designed to emulate civil aircraft, we're looking at how best to apply it to DCS modules. Open DCS Script folder [drive:\Users\\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts]. Create it if it doesn't exist. There is a Toggle Window menu option in the tray icon context menu. This option mirrors the FIP display, that is being controlled by the HOTAS hat switch, to a window for use in VR. Restarted computer between each attempt, all different combinations of uninstalling drivers, unplugging FIPs before driver installation etc. SOLVED: Did a clean install of Windows and they work now. First installed the latest Driver from 2017 and then the MSFS plugin.
And now for The Big Kahuna -- The Saitek Radio Panel. :) ArturDCS has functionality working for the A-10C AM, FM and ILS radios. We're still testing and working out bugs, but it's going to work! I think ILS landings will forever be a part of my missions now (kind of been ignoring that in the Warthog). Edit: This was just to note progress. Other radios, e.g. UHF, and other modules are being worked on. EDIT2: After some googling I came over another device driver and tried it. It seems to work: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/LOGITECH/Logitech-Flight-Instrument-Panel-Driver-8-0-124-0-64-bit.shtml I have the pleasure of working with ArturDCS as a tester on his FlightPanels V2.0 project. As was mentioned in earlier posts, he is now making use of DCS-BIOS. The progress is exciting and I'd like to give users a heads-up of what's coming (with ArturDCS's permission). You can use several panels of the same type and have different mappings on each except Radio Panel which is fully programmed by DCSFlighpanels b]Close down DCS, delete all logs under C:\Users\\Saved Games\DCS\Logs => restart DCS and post dcs.log and dcs-bios.logEDIT: I have powered HUBs, both USB2 and USB3. I also started Spad.next as administrator. The only warnings Spad.next displays is about the missing device drivers. The Switch Panel functionality has been great from the get-go and remains so. He has already released a version of FlightPanels that precludes the need of a special driver and we now have use of the LED indicators. :thumbup: DCSFlightpanels communicates with DCS using DCS-BIOS, the brainchild of [FSF]Ian. [FSF]Ian has been very helpful in answering questions and helping out during the development process. His contribution to DCS will change the user experience from now on for a lot of us. If you get the chance then say "thanks" and give him some positive rep!
