    Uninstall all the DCS plug-in's in game manager.
    Reinstall this plug in.
    It sounds like you did not install the new plug-in.

    Yes! Create the Hooks folder

    Or reinstall the plugin via Plugin Manager. It should create that folder for you.

    thanks friends, you guys are great, i added sway, surge and extra 1 on ground, and the platform vibration on the runway during the takeoff route was wonderful. I'm trying the plugin without the euler angles to see which option gives me the most immersion.
    hugs.

    Hello every one ,

    firstable thanks Dirty for this plugin , feeling the ground bumps during taxi , take off and landing is sooo cool and was missing until now !!

    On my 6DOF rig i had to increase all the acceleration value as the original value ( *1 ) did not produce motion .

    A request : can you modify the Il2 BOS plugin so we can get the ground effect via the WOW like the DCS experimental plugin or is it undoable ?

    For the same reason that would be great , espetialy with warbird to feel the bumps during taxi , takeoff and landing .

    Sorry for my english ,

    Thanks again !

    Jp

    Great to hear that! :thumbs

    Have you set the max and min values in tuning center? Or are you only talking about the values while on ground? If only on ground, then yes, you can just change the factor in the script.

    No Idea. Does IL2 use a .lua script for data export? If so, it should be possible. Who made the plugin? I will take a look at it. Not sure though when I find the time for it.

    Cheers,... :)

    Just for troubleshooting, go to "SavedGames/DCS/Scripts/Hooks" and check if you have the "DCS_Exp_Hook...." file in this folder.
    Then go to "SavedGames/DCS/Scripts" and see if there is an "Export.lua" file in there. If there is, try without that file and see if it does the trick.
    Then report back here with your findings ASAP :-D

    Ok, there should be a file inside the Hooks folder.

    Make sure you have the latest plugin (v0.09) and patch DCS for motion as ususal. That should do it. :)

    If it works, restore the Export.lua file to "Scripts" and see if it still works.

    Let me know if it works.

    Hi
    I tries, with everything and nothing...
    I have a problem that I am using Sim Tools 2.0?
    Which version of Export.lua should I use for the DCS_GamePlugin.2.0.0.0 version?
    Best regards

    I don't know, whether or not the version of SimTools makes a difference. I think SimTools is on version 2.4 but not sure. If you want to be sure, just install the latest.

    There are two plugins! If you are using mine, then in Game Manager you should see "DCS_Exp" and it looks like that's what you have :)

    There is the original Plugin, and that is on version 2.0.0.0 afaik.
    I have made a modified plugin and that is on version v0.9.

    So, the question is: Why don't you get any data?
    I have a suspicion! Could it be, that you have two versions if DCS installed? Openbeta and stable branch?
    Make sure that the version you are using has the Hooks folder with the Export-script.
    To check, go to "SavedGames" and check if there are two DCS folders: DCS and DCSopenbeta.

    Is that the case?

    I guess you have two versions of DCS installed and/or you have not unpatched DCS through the other plugin.
    No worries, I am 100% sure we will figure this out.
    I will send you a PM.

    dirty, I had the official dcs plugin, but I had to update the sim tools to 2.5, and came back with the plugin I used before, yours, so it doesn't receive telemetry from the dcs. this plugin is not for version 2.5 of sim tools?

    Afaik, it is totally fine withSimTools 2.5. In fact, it is completely agnostic to which version you have installed.
    Have you unpatched DCS from the original plugin before patching with this plugin?

    Troubleshooting:
    1. Go here: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...cs-experimental-plug-in.239/update?update=757 and get version 0.10. Patch through SimTools' PluginUpdater.
    2. Got to "SavedGames/DCS/Scripts" and check if there is a file called "Export.lua". Just to be sure, rename that file to something else. Don't delete it, just rename it!
    3. Go to "SavedGames/DCS/Scripts/Hooks" and check if there is a file called "SimTools_DCS_Exp_Hook_v010.lua" in there.
    4. Report back here for further instructions :)

    extra1, 2, 3 are not receiving telemetry data, has anyone been there? the other dofs working normally. (plugin version 0.10) I like this plugin mainly because it has onground data.
