i understand that you can have different options that work better depending on how you want the sim to react.
My question i how can i get DCS to know what Set# to use.

For example if i fly helicopters i want it to use Set#2, while flying Jets Set#1 and while normal prop planes Set#3 its important because each of these aircraft have different G level etc and getting...

I would need some help
I've been using simtools for about one year now and let's say I know the basics of it.
I am familiar with the game patching procedure via the export.lua file.
Few months ago I bought the Simracingstudio SRS wind.
If you are not familiar with it, it's a system that makes fans spin simulating wind.
My goal is to have wind blowing when taxying when the canopy is open.
This SRS wind patches DCS export.lua file similarly to simtools.
My problem is....

In game using the DCS default plugin roll reacts very quickly and I have to have the stick all the way back or forward to get pitch to react.

I have tried different settings simtools which reflect when you run test settings, but no change in DCS.
I have also tried changing the pitch curve in DCS control settings.

This is 2DOF system, I have just pitch and roll configured and mixed at...

I am a sim racer and I have a 2DOF + Traction Loss platform. I want to buy some helicopter controls and fly around in a helicopter soon in DCS ( I have a couple of real world hours). Now the question is what should I do with the traction loss axis? Use it for yaw, or simply disable it? I am in VR only BTW.

So I changed my humble 2 dof rig actuators from 12v worm drives to srt80 linear actuators and a Thanos Amc controller.

Man am I struggling in DCS.

I have tried what I believe is everything I can do to make it work correctly.
I have good inputs from telemetry no.problem.

The issue is that when I roll left and right fine but once I do a roll it will not recenter once I am centered in the plane.
Also when rolling left right really quick it slowly returns...

i am working on a sim rig that uses g-seat and g-belt. what i want to do is force the g-belt shoulders to pull on you if the jet is inverted. however once the jet is upright the behavior is opposite and must work as normally setup in the axis controls.

I know how to modify the Lua file to detect inverted etc, but i don't know how to create a new force that is not used by the others.

let me explain further, - yes i can detect inverted and just manipulate roll, pitch, heave values etc...

first of all, a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE THANKS to @value1 for allowing me access to the source of the DCS plugin! Never ever could I have come up with anything useful on my own in this regard.

After a back and forth conversation with @Trip Rodriguez I noticed that the current DCS Plugin exports Euler angles. This leads to some "artefacts" (for lack of a better word) e.g. when rolling through inverted, or...

in doing so i have read and a learning of different paramaters that you can get back from DCS to write your code around.

for example : i saw this in someones article LoGetAircraftDrawArgumentValue(104) .

Not sure what this means or what this passes back.

So my question is ...Where do i find what parameter (technically methods) can i used in DCS?...
