Alt F1 HUD view without MFDs?

[Legendofdino]

Good morning,

As the title states, i'm looking to remove the MFD's from the Alt F1 view on the hornet. I tried modifying the ViewportHandling.lua located in \Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit with no luck. Any other ideas? Looking to use the view to record gun cam footage. Thank you!

For the center display you have to modify Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua, like this:

For the left and right display look in Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\MDI_IP1556A\indicator\MDI_init.lua

So all im gathering is +purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL} is added to each file? Can this be run in JSGME?

[Legendofdino]

Got it to work but it also removes the screens in the pit when in default F1. Is there a way to avoid this?

No, -/+ are just annotations in the patch format (- delete line, + add line). So, remove the original "purposes" line and add this instead:

purposes	   = {render_purpose.GENERAL}

(without the +)

I have all three setup for OvGME. Works here. BTW: BAKE is a new folder after latest update.

Hi, in my AMPCD bake init.lua file, I don’t have a line “render purpose to use”......

 

But it is in my AMPCD init.lua file.... is this correct?

 

I made the changes as above, and it does not work...if I include the number 11 in front, the displays are not rendered in the hud only view, but in normal f1 view, they are blank....

To remove the left and right DDI and AMPCD but keep the HUD on FA-18C for example

 

edit file [dcs install]\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\Common\indicator\BAKE\MPD_common_bake_init.lua

 

change this line

 

"purposes = render_purposes_to_use or {render_purpose.GENERAL, render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}"

 

to

 

"purposes = render_purposes_to_use or {render_purpose.GENERAL}"

Thanks for this info... I just removed the AMPCD from the front no cockpit view and it's perfect.

Hi guys, Im now in 2023 trying to remove AMPCD and LEFT DDI from no cockpit view.

And keep the RIGHT DDI MFD and place that in the middle.

And if possible resize the huge size that these take up.
 

I've followed multiple guides and forums but cant seem to make it work.

Also checked the forums for people doing view ports of all the AMPCD stuff to different screen but i just wanted to resize and remove a few.

Changing: "purposes = render_purposes_to_use or {render_purpose.GENERAL}" still works, but that unfortunately removes everything. And im jsut after an attack radar, not the kitchen sink.

Anyone with any lua experience. 
Any help appreciated.

Thank you
