Back once again!

Been through 5 or so distros in the past month trying to find something new, and I think I've found a comfortable option - you'll be pleased to know srsrs worked fine on each one. Having settled back down, I got back to tweaking (and, of course, flying) DCS, specifically with headtracking. I'm working on an extension to the guide explaining camera configuration, and I've also added a table of contents that allows anyone that needs to fix common problems (after an update, for example) without scrolling through the install instructions every time.

I've added the camera explanation, and will work on the instructions as time allows. I've also found the exact issue I was having with Opentrack, so can further revise the note on it before merging.

QuicksilverBR commented 3 years ago

Going to add a note here: I've started a repo where I'll post any tips and fixes about (HOTAS) controllers on Linux here. Barren for now, but if I may be so bold, I might add it as a resource under 'fixes' (or elsewhere, if you'd like) when it's complete. I know I'd have loved all the information I plan to add when I started out, so I'm sure it would be of some use. Will add camera config tomorrow.

New content done; will get the controls repo up and running then mark ready. Summary:

QuicksilverBR commented 3 years ago

Unless I've missed anything, I think this version is all good to go. Marking ready for review.

Excelent work, thanks!

Looking at the diff here, it seems like the images are empty. As far as I can tell, they work on your repo so I'm not sure if it's a github bug :thinking:

That's odd; I used relative links with the thought that GitHub would automatically edit them when pulling, but that might not be the case - I'll try direct instead.

TheZoq2 commented 3 years ago

Relative links in the markdown? That should be no problem. I meant the "empty file" here:

QuicksilverBR commented 3 years ago

Ah, understood. Not sure why they appear empty though - they show up fine in diff and rich views my end:

I have noticed that when viewing from this pull request, the images already link to this repo rather than mine - the readme is expecting images here: https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux/raw/master/images/, which obviously aren't present yet. Viewing directly from my repo works as you say.

QuicksilverBR commented 3 years ago

Given nothing has changed with time, I'll try direct links just in case - I think it would work if merged currently (as the images would move to the address the pull is expecting) but if they appear directly it could be merged then changed back to relative linking.

Okay, they appear (for me) when viewed from the pull request now. I've found where you pointed out the files being 'empty', but when viewed with rich enabled they show up fine on my end.

I've changed it back to relative linking (looking for images in this repo rather than mine) as it's probably just a GitHub issue.

TheZoq2 commented 3 years ago

Yea, worst case scenario, we can just revert the merge

QuicksilverBR commented 3 years ago

All appears fine on my end; it must have just been something related to the way GitHub handles pull requests. Either way, happy to help as always - I'll be adding to the controller fixes when time allows.
