SkateZilla Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Skate, is there any way you could fix the fact that the utility window doesn't remember its last screen position? New releases will startup Center Screen, prior to that it was set to use Windows Default Location. Will it remember it’s last position as other apps do? Starting in the center can be awkward as it can cover other app windows. I will check on this The App in Future Builds, will remember position and when opened will open to the same position it was before it was closed.

Bananimal Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Skate, Is there a way to use the middle mouse button to scroll the model sideways in Model Viewer 2? Not finding a setting for this. I use this extensively when painting in the original Model Viewer. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not finding a setting for this. I use this extensively when painting in the original Model Viewer. ModelViewer2 is new and still being developed, I'm not sure of the middle mouse button use, ModelViewer 2 is Eagle Dynamics App, and is not part of my App, so I cannot offer support.

Salsam Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 First of all - thank you for this program! I use it daily and it's now one of the first things I tell new squad members to install! It save so much time and work! Is the a possibility that you, I coming version, will add "Discord" & "SRS" to the external applications for autostart with game?

Bananimal Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Thanks for the response, Skate. I have another question, would it be possible to allow the latest version of your utility to run multiple sessions simultaneously? Meaning, with the older version of your tool, I could open multiple instances of it and thus open two separate model viewer windows. I use this to compare changes I make to the my skins in Photoshop. To see if the change I just made looks better than it did before that change. Right now, I can only open up one instance of your tool, thus I have to close the open model viewer with the current state of the skin to see the changes I made. This results in my having to determine if my changes are good or bad based on recollection instead of comparison. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WineCape Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Hello SkateZilla, Firstly, thanks for a wonderful tool. Currently, I am using your version 1.30.2018 - and are happy doing so with this stable specific version. Of late, I've noticed that, under your tool's "Open Beta" installed tab, the "Installed Version" is being reported as 2.5.3.22176, while the "Latest Version" from DCS is being reported by your installer/updater tool as 2.5.3.21708, an older version in fact? How can that the latest reported DCS version is older? At best, the reported version could be equal to an installed version number. Is this an issue with your tool, or with DCS' servers?

Repair will scan any DCS Files, and Replace w/ Correct Version if it was Modded Clean will Scan and Prompt to remove / delete / keep any files not part of the DCS Install. Simple Answer is YES, Remove any mods you want to keep.
