A 10C COCKPIT FULL

I decided to build a full fight simulator of an A-10c WartHog. Looking at live data while DCS is running can be very useful to figure out what range of values to expect from a certain output under different flight conditions. A10C Cockpit Overlay: Submitted by Ace Monster Toys for the Instructables Sponsorship Program: I've been into flight simulators for a number of years. It shows “no data yet” in the screenshot above because DCS: World is not running, so there is no virtual A-10C cockpit to connect to. Next to the output code examples, we see the current value that is being exported. You can use these buttons to verify that the connection to DCS is working correctly and that DCS-BIOS is operating the control in the virtual cockpit correctly. If DCS: World is running and you enter the cockpit of an A-10C, these buttons will operate the switch in your virtual cockpit. On the right side next to the input code snippets, we see buttons for each command we can send to this control.

In the next section, you will learn how to copy and paste these into a program for an Arduino microcontroller to connect real hardware to DCS: World. The black text on the green bar is the description of the control, in this case “Battery Power”.īelow the description and control identifier, we see that this control accepts input commands and has one integer (number) output.

The full control identifier is shown in the top right corner. Since a different module definition could have its own EPP_BATTERY_POWER control, control identifiers can be prefixed with the module definition and a slash to make them unique. It is identified by a short name (“EPP_BATTERY_POWER”). You are now looking at a “control”, the battery power switch on the A-10C. You can also try to use the search function to jump directly to the “Battery Power” entry.

You can type a few characters into the “Filter…” text box to help you find the category link.

Click the “Electrical Power Panel” category and scroll down to the entry for “Battery Power”.

Open the web interface, navigate to the Control Reference and select the A-10C.

Let’s take a look at the Battery Power switch in the A-10C. A “control” is a thing in the cockpit that has a name and can act as an input, output, or both. An “output element” or “output” is everything that produces a piece of data made available to DCS-BIOS. An “input element” or “input” is something that accepts commands, like a toggle switch or rotary knob.
