Sabre_Ewan Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I believe you need to use a monitor config for this as you would with Helios. Ikarus itself doesn't need one because it's just taking data from the game and rendering its own instruments. What you're trying to do now though requires the actual game output to be displayed directly on the other monitor, requiring the config. I dont think Im trying to implement anything that is not expected? when I run Ikarus, I need the DATA to show up where it is assigned to show up. Perhaps I am not understanding what the expectations are here? With great respect, does anyone know how to get this data to show up on the Ikarus panel where it needs to? If not, I might be able to figure out what I need to do by referring to a Helios monitor config I have. I was not clear that I had to make one for Ikarus. Thanks for any help. Ikarus is looking very good, cant wait to get it working as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-J-P Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 As I have already written, this is of course possible. I do that myself too. But that has nothing to do with Ikarus. That's all DCS.

Fakum Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Ok, I was not aware of that for some reason, I just assumed Ikarus handles that. Now that I understand, I will customize my monitor config to assign those exported positions, many thanks for clarifying that for me sir. Sorry HJP, I did not see that written in the WIKI sir. Maybe it was information overload? I donr know, but thanks.

raymondabel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 You use the switches wrong. There are click / touch zones. You have to click this. well I use to call that kind of bug a "code 18" because the problem is 18 inches away from the screen... many thanks. I will make some testing with that A-10C I will do some modifications so it fit immy screen dimentionsand Cougar MFCD Also If I find any glitch or bugs should I contact you here or directly ? So far only the IFCC does not seem to send info to DCS correction. if the Ikarius switvh in at the "on" position, if I move it to "test"position, DCS receive a "OFF" position. Also, I find that if you use directly a switch in DCS, Ikarius does not follow. Over all GREAT JOB !!! I was using Helios for years, Now I just need to check it my Clan setting is compatible like with Universal radio. I keep you posted Many thanks agan Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
