Black Shark Nirvana with TouchBuddy

[Lucky]

I got it set up but my main screen looks like this.







My screen on the left does show the template. What do I need to do to move the above?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently nothing happening here. I'll move on now.

Can you set a button to get Abris/Shkval in fullscreen (or big square) on the touchscreen? I want to use only 2 monitors...

No. the size and position of the Abris/Shkval displays are totally setup in the DCS Blackshark game. I have not done it yet, but you have to edit some game files to change them I think.

G,Day

I did have the payload data working but then i swaped the config files in ka50 and it no longer works. I did back up the org but they now dont work.

Any ideas what I need to put in the KA50 folder as well as the TB folder to get this to work as I have tried the info in this thread but no luck

Cheers

Pretty much the same as I posted in your other post...

You need to use the new export script file:

Only, install it into the KA50's script\export folder. And tell TB touchbuddy.cfg file where to find the export data file. ie.

And then, change the touchbuddy.cfg file:
lomac_data_file = C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\touchbuddy-export.dat




Optionally,
You can also change the script and tell it to put the export file on the root of your drive, and also setup both LO FC 1, 2, and BS to all write their script there. Then you can run any of those games and it will work.

Change this line:
local file = io.open("./touchbuddy-export.dat", "w")

To this line:
local file = io.open("C:/touchbuddy-export.dat", "w")

And then, change the touchbuddy.cfg file:
lomac_data_file = C:\touchbuddy-export.dat

So, TB can find the new location of the file.

Ok so I have downloaded the new file, thanks but I am a bit confused by the next step.

Do I create a new file on my C drive? or by local file is that the blackshark and FC2 file?

If you are referring to the touchbuddy-export.dat, then no.

See, the script file that you setup in the game's export folder will be run by the game when you actually load the game and click fly. At that point the game will run the script and create the file called touchbuddy-export.dat with all of the game's data that TB needs to display stuff. So, the touchbuddy-export.dat file does not exist until you actually run the game.

Once you do run the game, go and look and see if the touchbuddy-export.dat file was created. If so, that is good.

Then, if you are running TB, it will look for that file and read it to display the data in the TB Modules in your profile. But it needs to know where this touchbuddy-export.dat is located. That's why you need to tell TB where it is located by editing the touchbuddy.cfg file and setting this variable:

lomac_data_file = C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\touchbuddy-export.dat

Or if you are setting it up to optionally run on multiple games, then this one:
lomac_data_file = C:\touchbuddy-export.dat

If you are not sure what you are doing, I would just not do the optional setup. I don't want to confuse you. And you would need to edit that script you downloaded for this to work.
