[NOT YET SUPPORTED][MERGED] DDI/AMPCD DISPLAYS EXPORT

And bear in mind the MPCD knob is a rotary (mouse wheel .. like the Harrier) whilst with the DDIs you left/right click.

Apparently if you have them exported to another screen, they dont work atm -_- Try playing using only a 1 screen config for now

function  reconfigure_for_unit(unit_type)   --unit type is string with unit name
if unit_type == "A-10C" then
         
	Viewports  = ... define new Viewports table 
	-- also you can define cockpit displays viewports here 
	RIGHT_MFCD = ... define new RIGHT_MFCD  viewport 
	  
else 
    Viewports = ... define default for others 
	RIGHT_MFCD = nil  -- remove for others 
end
end

Does this go in the monitor setup lua? Can't say I'm that good at figuring out the lua files.

Thanks for the help so far.

Display Exporting is Not Enabled for the Hornet

 

I have however done this for the A-10C, Main Cockpit View on 4K, w/ 2 MFDs, CMSP, RWR, And other Displays Exported to a Smaller 1080P Display.

 

it's Just a Matter of Setting correct Coordinates.

Cheers for this info, I won’t waste my time trying to export them tomorrow before I fly then. :thumbup:

That would have driven me nuts otherwise.

I don't think any exporting of MFDs works at the minute, you just get blank screens.

Is anyone else having totally blank DID screens within the virtual cockpit, as well?

Hey Zilch,

Yeah if you set any of the instruments to export they will blank out in the cockpit and will also not show up on your second screen at this time.

If you use a custom monitorsetup .lua to export MFDs, you may need to comment out the TRY_FIND_ASSIGNED_VIEWPORT line in the init luas for the various cockpit devices. This should restore the in-cockpit displays without requiring you change your monitorsetup whenever you want to fly the F/A-18.

A bummer. This was never mentioned before now. Oh well. At least the MFD buttons work on my TM cougar MFDs. My screens are on top of each other, so for the time being, I moved my screen 1 to my bottom touchscreen. Better than nothing.

Huuuuge bummer! I got extra screens and MFDs for the Harrier and Hornet (mostly the Hornet). Quite deflating to see this not working on day 1. Thanks for the heads up, though. Would have never guessed this.

My two TM MFDs are working as advertised ...

had to comment out/delete my

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1920-10-((400*1.4)*1.35);

…

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 3840+10;

..

section in the Monitor Setup file

(and check the proper screen size / aspect ratio calculated)

THEN THE DDIs will light up

this is a multimonitor problem

yup, i edited C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\MDI_IP1556A\indicator\MDI_left_init.lua and MDI_right_init.lua files

changed try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")

to

try_find_assigned_viewport("F18RIGHT_MFCD")

then it can't find viewport and everything works as it should with other modules without exporting f18 module.

passes IC check.

MDIs on but not visible

I searched the forums thinking someone else had surely had this issue but can't find anything. When I start a mission where the F-18 is already started (take off from runway or already flying) my MDIs are both turned on but won't show anything. I've tried turning them off and back on again and I've tried adjusting brightness and contrast. The AMPCD and the HUD are both on and showing what one would expect but nothing on the MDIs at all. I'm going to try a cold start this morning to see if I can get them to turn on.

Sigh. Guess I'll go back to one screen for now. I get a bit weary of constantly editing .lua files.

Bummer is right. Hopefully this will be in a future update.

Thx! This worked. Oddly enough it brought my fps back to 60 whereas before I was 30+

Can't see DDI's

Gents,

Anyone know why I can't see my DDI's (MFCD in A10 terms).

I've installed the module today and I started the first tutorial... The start-up. But when asked to turn the MDI knobs... nothing happenend even after waiting for 10 minutes.

Then I tried a hot start ... And also there were no DDI's

Are you Exporting / Re-positioning MFDs in your Monitor setup?

You are correct.

Thank you very much....

[NOT IMPLEMENTED YET] UNABLE TO EXPORT DDI

Hi all

I followed the DCS cold start procedure and others found on Youtube, but my right DDI still stay OFF.

Do you have an idea why ?

Engines are started, ready to fly, R-DDI is on DAY...

Thanks

My configuration:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think MPCD drives the RDDI, so it should be on.

[REPORTED] No Video on DDIs

Hi there, someone could help me ?

After one day without problem, out of the blue my two MFD, left and right, are on but no digit appear in the screen. The third on the pedestal is working perfecly.

Push button of MFD and connected commands are working but the screen stay green, more or less.

What could be happen? I didn't modify anything inside the setup, just configured some avis ( at the vero beginning throttle didn't work) and some keys of my Warthog.

Nothing more.

Thanks in advance for some help.

No Video on MFD

In every mission so far, the MFD's have nothing on the screen.

Using steam version

SS attached.
