3x Thrustmaster MFD support


Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried this and does windows properly identify 3 separate devices?

 

With the release of the Hornet I'm working on building a simpit that supports 3x MFDs. The problem though is I'm not sure if you can have 3 thrustmaster MFDs plugged into the same computer (or more).

 

I know each device has it's own "ID" to distinguish from each other. However, I'm not sure if those IDs are duplicated across packaged products - hopefully that makes sense?

I can 100 % confirm that more than 2 MFD's work flawlessly on a single PC. I currently have 3 up and working in front of me. One broke (right after the warranty... :/ ) and I bought additional 2 with regard to the hornet. From the driver it suggests that 6 are supported (at least) You can easily remap the IDs of your MFD's in the settings of windows. My "new" MFD2 was instantly recognized by DCS and worked out of the Box flawlessly as MFD2 in the A10. So go for it without worry! :) I suspect that MFD3 will be instantly supported by the Hornet.

I have 4 MFDs and as far as I can determine, they all work directly in the game. However, I believe that Target does limit you to only 2 MFDs if you want to do Target Programing.

I though target supported up to four MFDs? I don't really know, though. I saw something about it in passing, but I only have two and no plans to get more, so wasn't really an issue for me.

Most aircraft that have MFDs in DCS seem to autoassign the MFD controls anyway. Most likely you won't have to mess with it. The A-10 and Harrier both have hard assigned controls to the MFDs

Cougar MFD's No longer produces?

 

Has Thrustmaster discontinued their MFD's? Bad timing if so, given the release of the 3 MFD Hornet. :(

I'll look into this.
