I made a small "mod" for FC2 with which you can display the A-10 Maverick TV view and the Su-25T Shkval TV view in a UI "overlay", external window or network stream. This can make it much easier to use the sights as you can put the image on a larger, static overlay or in a window on another monitor.

 

It has some limitations, for example it does not know what plane you are flying so only one visual overlay type is supported which is used for both the Maverick and Shkval. Also, the RTT surfaces rendered by the game do not contain the overlayed data in them, such as the maverick crosshair and the Shvkal horizon etc. displays. You can only have a static crosshair over the scenery using an overlay image (default one looks similar to the maverick crosshair).

 

With the network stream the image can also be displayed on another computer, though the stream (currently) does not work very well, or, I haven't been able to find a good enough player for Motion-JPEG streams. Firefox works pretty well but it does not scale the image, mplayer works but always ends up doing some kind of buffering which causes latency in the image...

 

Download here: http://www.kegetys.net/dl.php/AIESTV10.zip

 

Read the readme for install/use instructions. (Basically just extract to FC2 install dir, then whenever the Maverick/Shkval TV is active it should work. Edit the cfg to position it etc.)

one idea : AIESTV work on all windows or it is limited to seven?

 

I have only tested it on Win 7 but it should work fine on XP as well.

 

For the problem, hard to say... if it is installed correctly, make sure you have the newest DirectX 9 installed, I think the dll is compiled against February 2010 version so the installed DirectX runtime should be newer than that.

Odd... Something to try is to get Sysinternals Debugview here and see if it catches any error output from AIESTV. (Just run debugview, then run the game and it should capture some output like "AIESTV: Config path: <C:\Pelit\LOMAC-FC2\AIESTV\AIESTV.cfg>")

I have Windows 7 64bit and i have similar problem. When i get in su-25t and turn on shkval i don't get any pictures. Then i try to put address for the d3d9.dll and like edrom i got back to debriefing. I install windows on E:\.

What is wrong?

can you see something wrong? the config path is correct concerning my computer.

Thanks for the help

 

I find that on the Web :

[b]August 2009 D3D9D.dll is Versioned for Windows XP SP2[/b]
The D3D9D.dll that is included in the August 2009 DirectX SDK is versioned for Windows XP SP2. If you use this DLL on Windows XP SP3 with an application that uses the Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), [u]the code in the DLL will assert. This issue does not occur on Windows Vista or Windows 7[/u]. If you require only debug output, that is you do not require symbols, you could also use the checked version of D3D9.dll, which is compatible with Windows XP SP3. Just rename the checked D3D9.dll to D3D9D.dll. The checked version of D3D9.dll is available to MSDN subscribers.

And i have XP sp3, so the D3d9.dll installed by AIESTV is not compatible XP sp3 but good with seven, if i understand well.

somebody can confirm please?
