Raf Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Here is another project of mine. It's a MFCD system for FC3 crafts, adding navigation, mark points, bullseye and more. http://qopru.com/mfcdfc3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkroyale048 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I didn't know you can get a nav points screen on the mfcds too.. Is there any way of accessing it other than this export ?

JaBoG32_Herby Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've tried that addon today and find it a brilliant idea. But what i've realized is a huge drop in frames. Framerate is reduced to 25 with the MFCD displayed whereas the rate is above 40 without the display. Regards Herby [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 @arkroyale048: I'm not getting a MFD from DCS, I'm drawing it myself based from exported data... the program also has a sort of logic inside to do that. @JaBoG32_Herby: same FPS on mine. Don't know what's affecting it. It does export stuff in a speedy way, but it's just a few hundreds of bytes and it's a local socket anyway. How is the CPU usage?

Raf Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 I can get it work, the program runs but no connection Can't help with just that information. Being disconnected is the startup state, anything can have happened. Have a dcs.log of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAKMotorsports Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm trying to get it work. 1st the program then the dcs, but notting happens, I need to configure something in the dcs or put the program and put the program on the same folder that it the dcs?

Einherjer Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Waypoints are not editable i assume ?! But its an really great Tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Waypoints come from DCS so no, but you can create markpoints... About 'installing' it, everytime you launch the program it checks in the SavedGames folder and puts the right lines in the export.lua, along with the lua script file. So if just for the first time you had to do it before launching DCS, cause it loads lua scripts at start. After that, the files are going to remain the same, so it's irrelevant. If it doesn't work, try checking dcs.log in Logs dir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaBoG32_Herby Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hello Raf, I just checked the CPU demand for jawa and found it pretty high. I use an i7 2600k processor and the jawa process takes about 12% of the CPU capacity which equals one core. I don't understand however why this has such an impact on DCS performance since the whole CPU is used by perhaps just 35% or so.

I post it if you can take a look. Thanks! http://pastebin.com/rfjw9sH5 I had the same problem with "no connection". You need to have slmod installed to get it working (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80979&highlight=slmod). At least that solved the problem for me. And a big thanks to Raf for sharing this great tool. :thumbup: I always was dreaming of something like this to have it exported to one of my MFD´s. Cheers!

Raf Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 The screen redrawal is triggered each time it arrives data from DCS. Currently in the lua script it's sending stuff each 0.05secs. (it's like 20fps) It can be modified in the lua, but since everytime you start the program the lua gets overwritten, needs to be done by hand.

Vähäkylä Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Would it be possible to have a moving map that also shows other aircraft in it, so we can fly together at poor weather and nighttime? Or is there any mod that has another MFD or something that will show moving maps? How hard is it to export the map and plane data to the MFD? A moving map would be awesome and it would make navigation so much easier with the F15C. Edited May 13, 2014 by Vähäkylä Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Raf, This is an awesome add-on. The only thing I would ask for is keyboard shortcuts for the OSBs (since I use my MFDs in a TARGET profile, and I would like to incorporate your MFCD as an option). The other thing that might be nice is if you can detect which aircraft is currently being flown, allow a separate XY for the F-15C. Reason for this is the F-15C uses the LMFD for the external radar display, whereas the other FC3 aircraft use the RMFD for the optics (Su-25T) or radar/MFD (Su-27/33/MiG-29) and dynamically repositioning the window to offset the in-game MFD would be great. Thanks again. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
