Hi everybody, I would try bff. how to configure the software for the amc work? I can not. thx for your help stevant Can you share your settings please? Mine are outdated and not sure if they will work with the latest version correctly. Thanks Thanos

I had not seen that Stevant used bff. if Stevant want to share the file. I take

nobody thanos, can you send me your files, I'll see if it works. I just need the part that allows communication with the AMC.

Hi everybody, I would try bff. how to configure the software for the amc work? I can not. thx for your help Hi Vulbas, If this bit from the manual doesn't help, let me know which specifically you're having trouble with and I'll try to help you out. bffsimulation.com/Manual-6DOF/Formats.phpIn the beta 87+ versions a 16bit binary output option BIN2B has been added.
In the beta 89+ versions for use with Thanos Kontogiannis' AMC644USB (+ 6DOF) controller boards use the special BIN2TH 16bit format setting. This starts a data extrapolation process to increase the export rate of the motion cue data - the export rate is controlled using the Delay parameter in the BINTH.ini file. Reducing the processing loop delay (in ms) increases the export rate. Set the Use_Raw parameter =1 to disable the data extrapolation and use the normal motion cue data.
Output to Thanos' boards which does not use the higher rate data extrapolation process (ie direct from the motion driver at the sim frame rate) can be obtained using the BINTH mode (for 3.18+ FSX & X-Plane versions).

hello
Dcs world 3 dof support?

hello Dcs world 3 dof support? Not at this time. I contacted Ian a while ago about this and he told me the company that makes DCS didn't have good documentation or support for third parties. You might be able to use Ian's universal driver, but that will take some extra work.

Does ian has a forum to discuss his 6dof plugin? If not, would be nice to make a category for his software in this website for all to see.
Can someone post the latest working configuration files for bff motion driver :
6dof-faster-car.bff 6dof-slow-car.bff
Thanks

Ian told me the DCS documentation was really poor - so he wasn't going to do a plugin. Maybe that would change if there was enough interest. The game is great though, especially in VR.

Speaking of VR have you look into the hype around this new VR technology, well not exactly VR but more of portable virtual monitor reason being it has low FOV. However it has gyroscope and all so still can work almost like an oculus rift. avegant.com/I actually preordered one set.
