This has been an issue with our domain for many years, and I believe I've seen it as far back as when we used Windows 2000. However, if they go home with their laptop, connect to their own home wifi, and then attempt to log on then the process will take several minutes. And a locked computer takes at least 30 seconds to unlock, and I assume it's for the same reason.įor example, if someone is on campus, connected to the physical or wireless networks, and logs on then the computer takes a few seconds to authenticate. This only occurs if the computer is on a network when attempting to authenticate. But, if a computer is off campus then logons take 2.5-5 minutes. While on campus the computers all log into the AD without an issue. I do not control the domain and I do not control the DNS, or other network services. I work in a higher education institution with a domain. “In comes DCS-BIOS which offers a clear cut interface towards the cockpit, it broadcasts a continuous and tightly packed byte stream over UDP sockets in which all controls/data in the cockpit can be replicated outside the simulator itself (external panels). For manipulation of the cockpit controls the user can send commands to DCS-BIOS which then translates these to a format DCS understands. The complexity of the simulator itself is completely hidden from the user of DCS-BIOS.Windows logons take too long to fall back to cached credentials when on a network and firewalled to domain controllers. To do this requires rather good knowledge of Lua and a lot scripting and a *complete* understanding of how DCS interacts through Lua.” Users can script just about anything inside missions and also inside the cockpit, read loads of information from the simulator. “Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) uses a Lua environment for interacting with the simulator itself. His work is simply revolutionary when it comes to the communication with DCS.” Dahlblom says, “Without his project there wouldn’t be a version 2.0 in the works of my project.

Dahlblom would like to thank his colleagues Pierre and Paul for helping with testing and also Jan “Ian” Böcker and his DCS-BIOS project of which Mr.

It’s all open source but if you feel like donating to help the cause, visit his PayPal page here. Dahlblom and his team are also working on getting the BIP, Multi, and Radio Panel to work with DCS as well. Click here to visit the thread on ED’s forum with links to his work. While we all wait with bated breath for DCS World 2 and its shiny new EDGE graphics engine, we wanted to spotlight the work of DCS community member Jerker “ArturDCS” Dahlblom who, through keyboard emulation, has managed to get the Pro Flight Switch Panel to work with Digital Combat Simulator.
