dcs-hmd
DCS-HMD is a helmet-mounted display (HMD) designed for DCS World, specifically for the Ka-50 helicopter. It displays the current values of:
- Rotor pitch (from 1 to 15)
- Rotor RPM (from 0 to 110)
- Vertical velocity (from -30 to 30)
I plan to add the ability to show the current values of the following parameters at a later date:
- Airspeed
- (Radio) altitude
- Heading
- Attitude indicator (bank/pitch)
Demo
Installation
-
Download the
dcs-hmd-vX.X.X.zipfile from the latest release and extract it. -
Open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to the directory where you extracted the
dcs-hmd-vX.X.X.zipfile. -
Run the
dcs-hmd.exeprogram with the-iflag followed by the path to your DCS scripts directory (usually%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts). For example:dcs-hmd.exe -i "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts"This will automatically install the required scripts in the specified DCS scripts directory.
-
If you have multiple monitors, run
dcs-hmd.exeon the monitor where you want the helmet-mounted display (HMD) to appear. -
Run DCS World in borderless windowed mode, and select the Ka-50 helicopter mission.
Uninstall
To uninstall all scripts that were installed with the -i flag, you can use the -u flag followed by the path to your DCS scripts directory (usually %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts). For example:
dcs-hmd.exe -u "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts"
This will delete all installed scripts and update the Export.lua file.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems while using DCS-HMD, please follow these steps to help me solve the issue more quickly:
-
Run
dcs-hmd.exewith the-vflag to print version information. This will display information such as the version number, build time, and Git hash.dcs-hmd.exe -v -
Copy the version information and include it when reporting the issue on GitHub.
-
Provide a detailed description of the problem, including any error messages or logs.
By providing this information, it will help me understand which version of the software is installed and which version of the code may be causing the problem.
