Tips and Tricks
- Determine if DCS-Walkman starts shown or hidden by changing the hideOnLaunch value on the config file to true or false
- You can add and remove songs whenever you like, no DCS restart necessary
- You can have multiple folders in your music folder. DCS-Walkman will only play the songs not in folders. Think of it as changing the CD in your walkman!
- You can change the folder that DCS-Walkman uses for the songs by changing `local playList = (lfs.writedir() .. "Config\\DCS-Walkman")` to `local playList = [[C:\Users\Bailey\Music\DCSAudio]]` in `Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Hooks\walkman-hook.lua`, for example. Change both locations.
- You can change the default hotkeys by editing the Config file located in Saved Games/DCS/Config/DCS-Walkman/DCS-WalkmanConfig.lua. You can also use a 3rd party program like Voice Attack to bind these keys to your HOTAS, controller, buttonbox, VR controller, Stream Deck whatever you like! The VAP is here:
- Stop (Ctrl+Shift+1)
- Previous Song (Ctrl+Shift+2)
- Play (Ctrl+Shift+3)
- Next song (Ctrl+Shift+4)
- Random Song (Ctrl+Shift+5)
- Volume Down (Ctrl+Shift+6)
- Volume up (Ctrl+Shift+7)
- Hide/Show (Ctrl+Shift+8)
- If you can't find the App on the screen, you may have dragged it off the screen. To get it back change windowPosition.x and windowPosition.y in DCS-WalkmanConfig.lua or delete the file to generate a new one.
- DCS-Walkman will not automatically play tracks back-to-back
- The GUI is limited to DCSism. If you need assistance while using it in VR you can pause the game to position the cursor.
