    Download in the first post.

    Changes:

    - Solved bug in hotkeys, setup was lost.

    - Added sources manual (big) with sources setup.

    - Added minimize to task bar.
    We can now set the setup files to start minimised in the task bar for a cleaner desktop.
    If you are happy with your setup, you just need to use the hotkeys to start/stop outputs.

    - New DCS script, thank's to @Dirty. It's now compatible with other scripts (uses now port 4124).

    - Small correction in DCS source. Transition was not working as it should.

    - Other small bugs solved.

    Amazing work as ever. Even the manual alone must have taken ages. Thanks for everything you do for the community

    Hi

    i got the rig running with FlyPT Mover, but everything runs in wrong direction.

    If i turn the heave slider to the left in FlyPT-Hexapod the rig is moving down
    If i turn the heave slider to the left in FlyPT-Mover the rig is moving up.

    But both use the same settings.
    3d looks also the same and shows the correct movement.
    It goes up in Hexapod and Mover by slide to the left.

    Here are my settings:

    FlyPT-Hexapod:
    71673 71672

    FlyPT-Mover:
    71671 71674

    When i use "output swap swapped" it moves "yaw" instead of "heave".

    @pmvcda Can you help me please?

    Thanks
    Peer

    I will look at it tonight (I'm out), but are you saying it goes in the right direction In the 3d view?

    Did you inverted values in the old program by using the checboxes?

    Looks like you have inverted actuators.

    You could try to put gain - 1.0 in the rig, next to the actuators filters and see if this solves the problem.

    Yes, the 3d-grafic shows the right movement but the rid is inverted
    This are my hexapod settings in which the rig moves correct.

    There is no "inverted" checkbox activ

    No, I mean in the main window of the old program. Next to the sliders.

    And try the gain - 1.0 next to the actuators filters in the rig module of Mover.

    hexapod-main.jpg

    When i chang to -1.000 in Gain, i get the following movements:
    Roll slide left -> my head moves to the right
    Pitch slide left -> my head moves to the front
    Heave slide left -> my rig moves up

    It´s just like the 3d view

    Short Update 19:12:
    With -1.000 in gain, the sliders work correct.
    But LFS is inverted now but works OK witch 1.000 in gain

    Did you thought about changing the polarity on the motor to invert the direction ?

    Observe first the bit output. Is it increasing when the levers goes up ?

    Does anybody have a useable tuning setup for DCS? Especially I want to make for roll yaw and pitch. Im strugggling with anti rollover :think

    Send me your setting file. I’ll try to build one for you.
    You want one for warbirds or modern jets ?

    I don't have a setting file at all :) Im just trying to make.
    The biggest problem that I don't know exactly about airplane simulation. I know about the "g" forces for a car, and what kind of moves I need to simulate acceleration or brake ...etc, but an airplane. :rolleyes:
    For example what the rig should do when I make a full 360 roll over, or a 360 pitch over. So wich filters should I use, and how? :)
    I remember the simtools effects, I liked those but I want to copy somehow with mover :)

    Yes you have. I would need to see your dimensions.

    Tell me also if you’re more interested in modern jest or warbirds because the profile for those two scenarios can be quite different.

    Im interested in both of them. :cool:
    If only I have one solution for roll or pitch. :rolleyes:
    ...Maybe a bit more interested in modern jets :cool:
