  1. CAT IIIc.......is for aircraft that have a 0/0 autoland capability...the airfield has to have the correct ils equipment also.....this is usually associated with large commercial aircraft though not military aircraft. Though current aircraft carrier aircraft can do it but they also use a data link system to get pitching deck info.
  2. my correction is in red = function(p) return p; end; name = _('Marcel_MFD2'); Description = 'Two monitor configuration'; Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.77; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2150; y = 70; width = 400; height = 400; [color=red][color=black]}[/color]<--------this bracket is missing in yours [/color] RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2800; y = 70; width = 400; height = 400; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center
  3. Most newer jet engines did away with the p&d valve they now squirt the last bit of fuel into the engine when shut off is selected......if you listen carefully on newer aircraft you will hear the engine surge a bit on shutdown
  4. ygtbfkm :shocking:.....here you go http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815
  5. Guess she really loves him...she was the one doing the video. I was flying next to him when she recorded it.
  6. Yes.....get Helios by scsimulations and you can have almost all the gauges and switches
  7. Thanks Feed...I wish I was able to be short, simple and concise like that...i'm usually long and rambling as you can see above ;)
  8. You do build your own panels in helios and it interfaces with DCS:A10 thru the export.lua for all inputs and outputs that are available from ED's coding. For the MFD's you have to export them using the DCS:A10 multimonitor .lua procedure and helios will overlay on top of the MFD's that are exported to a second monitor if you choose to go that route. The downside of this export procedure is it requires you to use windows mode(this is a DCS restriction not a helios restriction.) Though in your case you could export the MFD displays onto your main monitor setup and only put panels and gauges onto your touchscreen and still keep A10 running at full screen. Hopefully you are following me as I said in the previous post there are so many possibilties based on your own setup. Onto the CDU...ED does not support the export of the CDU text as of right now. The workaround has been to use a screen replicator that is setup within Helios. This requires that you export the right mfd anywhere on your monitors you tell Helios the coordinates(X,Y) of this mfd and it will replicate whatever is on the mfd to the CDU you made in Helios. Almost all the Helios profiles available are setup to use this but there is another way to use the CDU without the screen replicator and that is to just use the CDU keyboard as a stand alone panel(ie no cdu screen) you then can just select the CDU page on the right mfd and use your Helios CDU keyboard to do all the inputs this is a bit better that using the UFC as in precludes you from using the FUNC key to get to certain pages. Hopefully you are following me as the configurations you can have with Helios and your own computer setup are endless at this point. Helios is a very powerful tool made easier for the sim pilot. Hawgtouch would be a better option if you are only looking to export the MFD's and use the hawgtouch bezel and soon the UFC but if you want to be able to access and interface with almost every switch right now in the A10 or in Blackshark or Falcon, Helios is the only way to go. I will not bash Hawgtouch as I am envious of a person who has the capability to code something like that and then put it out for free and then support it to make it the best it can be but at this point Hawgtouch is very limited in it's capabilities but for many users it may be a perfect fit. I myself am running 3 screens for Helios 1 for my main view and I never have to touch my keyboard for a single function within the A10 sim ever...this is something that Hawgtouch can not do at the moment.
  9. 1. Yes 2. Yes except for the mfd's as those are exported thru the dcs multimonitor setup routine. You could probably get one mfd to work and just have the other pages go on top but 2 mfd's if a no go I bet. The cdu would be an issue also due to the fact that a screen replicator is used for this function and needs a mfd setup in a fixed position. Though they are some very smart people that may know how to do this. 3. Yes helios can be setup to use on one screen only These are the simple answers...there are so many other variables involved such as mfd export requiring window mode which may present problems with your 3htg. I could go on forever. My suggestion is to download helios and use it with the 10 minute time limit to see how it works for you
  10. Get rid of the beta and download the Full release version...it's only been said a thousand times in a thousand threads Download here http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=8&end_pos=135&lang=en
  11. Either way works....obviously if you have a hotas and have the NWS mapped to a button on your stick it is much easier to do the reset of the AAR receptacle.
  12. Not sure if this applies to the A10C but in older aircraft this is the norm(the power dip). Usually important systems are not powered up until the aircraft is running on one of it's engine driven generators. Just to preclude problems with power transfer between the aircraft main bus and the APU or ground power busses. Heck most of us remember or have seen on commercial aircraft the flash or dimming of the cabin lights in commercial aircraft right after engine start...that is due to the busses tranferring from ground/apu bus to the main electrical busses. The MD-11 was one of the first large commercial aircraft to introduce what they call the "No break power transfer" or NBPT and it all but eliminated the voltage drop when systems were switched between different power sources(ground,apu,main) thus allowing systems(INS and other avionics) to stay powered up during the power transfer and not losing information or sync/alignments. But even with this system the cockpit MFD's still would get the dreaded red X occasionally.
  13. Go Here it should work for BS as well as it works for A10. There is a utility from Oakes at the bottom and an explanation on how it works a couple pages later. This should solve your problem.
  14. Ever think of going to the tech support/multimonitor support thread and reading about it there?
  15. Best I can tell is you got a pretty wicked game of tic-tac-toe goin there.
  16. And to think that I thought 12-21-2012 was the end of the world...after I read the above I guess that I am sadly mistaken
  17. You are going to have to move your monitors in your windows (CCC or Nvidia Control Center) monitor setup page and put your 1280x1024 on the right of the 1360x768 display...but you do not have to physically move them there. Make sure that the tops of the monitors line up in order for my numbers to work Make sure you set you monitor resolution in the Sim gui as 2640x1024 then select 16:9 aspect and then select the correct monitor setup in the monitor window(whatever you name this file below. Try these numbers below _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('My_example'); Description = 'Two Monitor Config' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1360; height = 768; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.77; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 1360; y = 650; width = 374; height = 374; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2266; y = 650; width = 374; height = 374; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center
  18. NO.... I paid for a certain amount of FPS and if ED patches the sim i PAID for and then takes my FPS back that I paid for the first time around that is like taking money out of my pocket.. IT IS MY FPS AND YOU WILL NOT TAKE IT FROM ME!!!! now resuming to sucking my thumb....move on nothing to see here.
  19. Why are you poking around in places you don't belong ;) Anyways it looks as if what you are looking at is the different sizes of the splash screens that pop up after you click on your a10 shortcut and also the screen that pops up between fly and the sim starting up. If you really want to know where your in game settings are go to the options.lua. Beware bad things happen to those that poke around and mod things they are clueless about.....though usually a complete reinstall will fix it :lol:
  20. What are you doing with anything beta? Installation should only be the release version on the dcs download/software page then the 1.1.0.6 patch from the dcs download/patch page. If you have anything beta installed you are asking for major problems.
  21. and the RWR!!!!!!!!
  22. I have an old F22 stick that possibly has the button you need. I'll take it apart tomorrow and post a pic of it. If it works I'll ship out to you....for shipping cost only.
  23. This problem has existed since THIS thread started. I still have the missing text issue but it does not seem to pop up as much as it did in beta 4 but it is still cropping up here and there. I agree it does seem to manifest itself until after changing views. Mine usually starts with the HUD text disappearing then eventually the MFD text goes. I have posted the same pic in the other thread as what is posted in this thread.
  24. HERE I got an idea let me search this out for you....this has been answered many many times..please use search ...it is your friend
  25. Try this below...your's is all wrong Ive attached the .lua file to this post. Put it in the x:/program files/eagle dynamics/DCS A10-C/Config/MonitorSetup folder. 1CameraExample.zip
