Oceandar Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Great, but is the process the same for the F-16C? That video didn't really solve the question previously asked. Especially for those starting their initial experimentations with exporting MFDs and such. Long time Lurker.Yes, its quite straight away, I've used it without problem. Mastering others is strength.

SPAS79 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Great job Spas....but can u please give more explanation and more details how and what lua file we modify? It will be a great help.... All of us have the same ''bright'' issue with the exported mfcds... thanks...:thumbup: I'm going to type up a quick answer, will articulate later. In short, you have to change the ONLY line in config.lua from "USE_LCD_MFD = true" to "USE_LCD_MFD = false". Then it's a case of editing the two right and left .lua files to make the lines appear normal and not a blurry mess. Seriously, have a look at my files, or just copy-pase them in your F16 directory (backup the originals first). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAS79 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) On a second thought, I'll attach a JSGME/OvGME ready archive as soon as I'm back home. EDIT: the issue is that when you go USE_LCD_MFD = false, the EHSI export becomes unrecoverably unreadable... I have yet to find a workaround to this.

gianlu320 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I have downloaded DCS virtual cockpit server and played with it a bit. I can move the MFD from my main display to my little lcd behind the thrustmaster MFD frame. The problem I have is.. i resize the MFD image but when I transfer the image on the little display behind the thrustmaster bezel I can't make it square. If I want to use the full area horizontally, the image will be much bigger than the bezel vertically. So Part of the image is outside of the bezel vertically. Any ideas?

gianlu320 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Try different resolution for your little LCD or even on your main monitor. Good luck Yes the problem was I didn't correctly set the small displays resolution, they are 800x600. That plus setting the image coordinates manually did the trick. Thanks ! Now I have another problem I correctly export the two mfds but instead of being black, they are transparent and I can see the world of DCS world with on top the MFD @tomasm123 reported the same problem in this same thread page3 post 28 Any thoughts on this one? Edit I fixed it In windows display setup you have to place the two little monitors where you display the MFDs under the main monitor where DCSW is displayed Edited October 28, 2019 by gianlu320 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ares63 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Has anyone had luck exporting some of the displays to other monitors. I have so far only gotten L/R MFD RWR EHSI I'm trying to get the others (SAI,Fuel Flow, etc) in the same way of DED you can export PFLD (that is not yet implemented...) and CMDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthatdan Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 With USE_LCD_MFD set to False in the F-16C config.lua (which I need because MFCD readability), my EHSI looks like this Thanks for this thread. I now have bright MFDs, DED & RWR extracted. However my EHSI looks the same as your SPAS79. Have you found a way to correct it? aka Badger X570 Aorus Master, Ryzen 3700X @3.8, 32GB DDR4@3200,RTX1070 Super, GTX 1070Ti, Win 10 Home, HOTAS Cougar, and some other DoDads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxwxl Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'll attach my files. It is a combination of telling the system you're not using USE_LCD_MFD (with config.lua) and then setting stuff as I have in my MFCD_x files. These files really helps a lot, now we can get a good MFD extraction, thx.:thumbup: BTW, my main 3D MFD now looks very very dark and not very readable, is that normal for these files ?

Creature_1stVFW Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I tried this verbatim from the video, and it borked it up. I deleted the LUA file it created and everything went back to normal, so I thought maybe I missed something and went back over it, and it borked it again! What do I do to the LUA files to the MFDs extracted?? Sorry, but I'm not to savvy at this and don't want to jack up my install. Any help would be great.

jonsky7 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 MFD export works with a default export setup("LEFT_MFCD", "RIGHT_MFCD"), but doesn't work with a custom device name(something like "F16C_LEFT_MFCD") for now. I can live with it, but its dark and poor resolution display is a real pain. You need to also change the names in: DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\MFD\indicator\LCD\MFD_LCD.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hreich Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks Enhanced HSI viewport is also already exposed from ED with EHSI add something like: EHSI = { x = 3200; y = 0; width = 400; height = 200; } to export it RWR could be also exposed with a MOD. In : C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\EWS\RWR\indicator open the file RWR_ALR56_init.lua and add this two row: dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("F16_RWR") then add F16_RWR to monitorSetup file as above Thanks for this, will try later though..after my work at home shift ends [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Pilot from Croatia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
