Maybe this is problem with Windows paths (i dont have russian version so I cannot debug it)

 

Just copy this file to DCSworld folder path:

DRIVE:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup

 

Then, you should see lumatek profile in game

 

I suposse that your monitor is 1920 x 1080

ako nakonfigurovať ?

 

If you see any picture (doesn't matter if correct or not) then your tablet is configured correctly

Colo, ever since the new update adding the Shkval, the DCSpanelsPro app crashes whenever I select any of the options. It crashes no matter which option I choose: single MFCD, dual, Shkval, all result in a crash.

 

Things to note:

1. I'm running the new server.

2. It appears the app crashes before sending any attempts to connect. Connections from the tablet never show up on the server program.

3. When running the dual MFCD, the tablet screen rotates before crash, implying that the instruction that crashes the app comes after the instruction to rotate the screen if that helps debug at all.

4. I've tried turning on and off various options to see if any single option is causing the crash, but so far I cannot tell.

5. Attempting to choose "Exit" as an option appears to have destroyed the app entirely, when I restart the app now, I get a crash when I start the app and cannot select any of the options.

6. This is on a freshly reset tablet, so very low chance of any other apps interfering with it. The tablet is a Nextbook 8HD.

 

It's worked fine in the past, but I'm not sure what's causing it now. Hopefully this gives you some ideas as to what may be causing it.

Hi AesclepiusCrow,

thank you for feedback, I will try to debug it

 

Regarding

1: in new server there is only path fix related to monitor config nothing more

 

2: the biggest change was version 1.2 (network as a service now on tablet released on 20th September) Was this version working well on your tablet ?

 

3: Interesting I will look into it

 

4,5 and 6: have you try to turn off tablet, then run server on desktop, and then start tablet and run client ? It looks like that even when you exit app on tablet the network service hangs and when you start the client again it crashes

 

I will concentrate on stability issues on next client release (before abris implementation) and release it within one-two weeks

 

Best,

colo

Hey, I have a problem with seeing panels on my phone (will try a tablet tomorrow):

 

 

1) Bought and installed app from Google Play

 

2) Downloaded DCSpanelsPro131 from your website

 

3) DCS A10-C was detected (http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129488&stc=1&d=1449322670)

 

4) Set up virtual monitor with the help of windows (default resolution was set by default as 1280x1024) (http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129489&stc=1&d=1449322670)

 

5) Got window informing me to set up 3200x1080 resolution in game and set Monitors as lumatek, disabled fullscreen. (http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129490&stc=1&d=1449322670)

 

6) Launched Java Script and my phone with the app was discovered (http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129491&stc=1&d=1449322670)

 

7) Launched the game via Steam and set the resolution and monitors as was asked by the program (3200x1080 and Monitors to lumatek.) (http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129498&stc=1&d=1449323725)

 

8 ) In game, flying A10-C, I see on the right side of the PC screen MFCDs from the aircraft and my screen is half cut like on the picture(http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129499&stc=1&d=1449323725), but my phone doesn't show anything on the screen - just a black screen with the MFCD overlay buttons (no map, no weaponry etc.) Swiping left and right doesn't change anything. Pressing buttons on the phone's MFCD doesn't reflect to the aircraft - it doesn't do anything.

 

 

Would be great if you can give me some suggestions. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

 

Cheers,

Vadim

Thank you for your reply.

 

One physical.

 

2nd one is sort of Windows 'virtual', Right Click on desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Detect -> Try Connect Anyway:VGA.

 

Its not gonna work like that? I read somewhere someone used the same technique but via NVidia card setup.

 

Cheers,

Vadim

Regarding your screenshots -

The problem is that your DCS A-10C is configured for one monitor (because you see A-10 instruments on the right side of the physical monitor) and Java app is sending instruments from 2nd virtual monitor which shows nothing.

 

Virtual monitor setup is often problematic, it is better to create fake hardware monitor (you can find more info on my web http://www.lumatek.sk)

 

If you send me your physical and virtual monitor resolutions I will create you config files (one for 1 monitor config and second for two monitor config) which you can download and try.

 

Sorry for inconveniences but it is very hard for developer to create automatic install which will work in DCS, DCS beta, DCS alpha, normal and steam versions and in Win 7,8 and 10 versions (but I am still improving this app and waiting for merge between beta and alpha versions of DCS world)

G sensor is not implemented - but maybe in future versions

 

Are your keys mapped correctly in DCS world control options ? (you can see correct keys in Keymappings.pdf located in DCSpanelsPro in DOCS subfolder)

 

You can map keys by importing modifiedkeyboard.lua file in DCS World control options or by entering them manually.

I couldn't find this problem in this thread yet -

 

The Client and Server are working, but the Server isn't giving the correct output on the client MFCD's. The lumatek.lua file doesn't generate, and I don't see an error for that.

 

Client (Yotaphone2 Android L) and Server are v1.3.1

Client output: http://puu.sh/mmVVa/321288e775.png

Server output: http://puu.sh/mmVuu/7de17fac51.png

 

I use TrackIR as well, will the change in camera angle affect the software's ability to display the MFCD's?

 

Settings are for 1 monitor (1920x1080), with the intention for the MFCD info to be displayed on the client device (1080x1920)

 

I would tinker around, but it's not my software and the last time I did that, it got me in hot water.. I tried the setting for two monitors for a combined resolution of 3000x1920, couldn't easily access DCS' OK/CANCEL buttons for a good while..

I use TrackIR too :P

I don't always openly list my things. But when I do, I put it in my signature.

Please download zipped config files from this link:

http://lumatek.sk/ConfigFiles.zip

 

Backup original files, then extract:

 

CDU_init.lua to YOUR-DCSWORLD-PATH:\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\CDU\indicator\ (this is for exporting CDU instrument)

 

Keyboard.lua to YOUR-WINDOWS-USER-PROFILEPATH:\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C\keyboard\ (for updating keyboard config)

 

lumatek.lua to YOUR-DCSWORLD-PATH:\Config\MonitorSetup (new monitor profile)

 

Then run DCS World, select lumatek monitor profile in game config and don't rember to untick "FULL SCREEN" i.e. game must be run in windowed mode

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Col! That's made progress, but not fixed yet.

 

The main monitor isn't displaying correctly, but the Client is now seeing MFCD information. Screenshots attached:

 

Server: http://puu.sh/mo3cF/faf075cab3.jpg

Client: http://puu.sh/mo3kZ/426db97b38.png

 

You can see that the Client is getting its' info from the output on the far right of the Server's image.

 

What's next? I've rolled back the changes for now.

 

Cheers,
