    That's a weird request for the HUD to be black but sure I can guide you. In "Your Mod Manager Folder\FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" go to materials.lua in line 36 change MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {2, 255, 20, 450}} to MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {0, 0, 0, 450}} I think that will make the HUD black. I'd give you the steps but I have no knowledge in editing those.

    It will take some time and a lot of trial and error to get something like that to work. You can take a look of CJS Superhornet and see if you can replace the exterior model with the default hornet. Rename it to F18C Hornet Swiss.

    Hi. Sorry I've taken a long break. Took a look at it and yes it does seem that using JHMCS II, the text and symbology is too thick that it makes it look blurry. Something has changed and I got to take a deeper look. You mean the color of the hud to jhmcs? Yes in "FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" in materials.lua go to line 103 and change the three numbers to {2, 255, 20, 550}

    Possible fix for DCS BIOS keybinding issues when using JHMCS II thanks to Bones1775. Deactivate JHMCS II then Place this devices.lua in "Your Mod Manager Folder\F18C JHMCS II\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" Then activate JHMCS II. Check if keybinds work and JHMCS II Nvg still turns on. devices.lua

    That's a good way to start and pretty much how I approached when I created this mod. Unfortunately as far as I know these kind of color switch is hardcoded. I can confirm it in Materials.lua there's only one line for IFEI color which is white and there's no night variation for it. Also the way how my mod works is overriding the color after the original color is applied and there's nothing I can find in IFEI lua files that checks for Nightmode. I think the best solution would be to use something like (in short) "IF time night then use mdg green" and it will apply green but won't be able to switch back to white. That will be ok since I don't think youll be in a mission long enough to be daylight maybe at most till sunrise or starting at sunset but it will still be considered dark. Only issue is I'm not sure how to check for time state atm.

    Not possible. If I'm able to create profiles, it wouldn't work as the lua have to be reloaded either by exiting and entering the plane with alt+J or respawning. Now maybe if I find the line that checks if it's night and automatically go to nightmode then use if statements that could work but then I'll have people asking me how to get white colors back for night missions.

    Disable the mod. Delete. Download and Enable the mod. Maybe something wasn't loading right. And to clarify surveillance flights and friendlies detected by surveillance are blue while members and other f18s are green. I wish I can get members to blue but from the way its coded it's not possible. Maybe I'll find a way.

    I'm trying to figure out why people are having keybinding issues even though I didn't really touch anything keybinding related. Which keybinding are you having issues with?
  9. CapnCoke
    I had that reported yesterday. A fix will be out soon EDIT: Fix is up
  10. CapnCoke
    Updated to 2.1.53
  11. CapnCoke
    I think plane own ship needs modernizing. null
  12. CapnCoke
    My bad. Meant 2.1.52
  13. CapnCoke
    Is that with v2.5.2 or v2.5.1? I'm on v2.5.2 and doesn't seem to happen to me.
  14. CapnCoke
    Nope you're absolutely not being thicker than a whale sandwich. The quickfix was uploaded as part of the download just incase while I work on fixing the mod then the car accident happened. Forgot to upload the rest of the files. It should be uploaded now.
  15. CapnCoke
    Patched to 2.5.2 for DTC update. Thanks for the report. Regarding JHMCS DCSBIOS bug report, I couldn't find the cause for the keybinding issues I've been hearing about. Still need to dig deeper since I'm not sure how DCSBIOS works.
  16. CapnCoke
    Thank you and sorry for your loss.
  17. CapnCoke
    Downloaded new update, deleted my modernmpd and installed again with the uploaded file just to make sure I didn't upload the wrong one. Seems to work fine. Check to see if your mod manager is installing the mod correctly. Also, I haven't announce it here but it will be a while until I work on fixing JHMCS DCS BIOS keybinding. My sister suddenly passed away on Tuesday 25th and need some time to be with my family. I also prefer not to veer this thread offtopic so keep the comments related to the mod topic. My DM is open if you want to send your condolences. This is the recent screenshot to confirm its working.
  18. CapnCoke
    Going to work on the JHMCS now. Here is the test version of the main mod for anyone who wants to finds some bugs. Seems to be promising so far. FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.5 Test.rar
  19. CapnCoke
    I usually post change logs in the original post. It's just been a while that I updated the mod since no official updates changed the files I've edited until now. and dw, it's going to be fixed soon
  20. CapnCoke
    Unfortunately I don't. Thought about it but by the time I released the last update my responsibilities increased and I don't think I'll be able to run one. As for the PC situation my PC is up now. Had to build a new PC and had some hiccups with parts and windows installation. Sorry for the delay. Also thank you to all the reports and messages.

    MFD textures just changes the MFD screens giving it a black background and light reflection layers, some dust/scratches and fingerprints. Anyways to the main issue. I did see the changelog couple days ago but a quick glance made me think this mod should be fine, and boy was I wrong. Since there isn't much said in the changelog it might take some time to get this fixed. Anyways heading to the store to grab a new GPU today. Paid over MSRP by a couple hundred but oh well it's been a <profanity>ty market. About the reports of keybindings being affected. That is strange and might need some digging. Hopefully it fixes itself once I get the main features to work. Also, please use a mod manager to easily enable and disable mods. It hurts me knowing some people had to use DCS cleanup to get their game to work. I think the original hud mod constraints were much smaller than what they were irl from my research (tbh it was mostly just an eyetest research)

    Hi, thanks for the report. Unfortunately couple days ago my GPU died. Thought its a good time to try to get my hand on the latest GPU but it's been difficult since they either run out of stock or are egregiously marked up. I can't run DCS anytime soon but will try to find a solution as soon as I can get my PC up. To clarify, this only happens when MPD is in night mode correct?
  23. CapnCoke
    More like inspired from mpds used in modern jets including the superhornet. With some additions to the SA page like radar arc and mid circle that superhornet has. JHMCS also has the ability to be used with NVG and color taken from IJHMCS marketing materials. Thanks for integrating it to the SuperHornet! You've been an amazing addition to the CJS team, and a legend in the DCS community.
  24. CapnCoke
    So I did a code sweep and there were no new lua changes from ED since 2.1.43 released. Every subsequent F18C updates were either on files that the mod doesn't touch or code in the engine. This also applies to JHMCS II. Tested the mod and everything seems to work fine. However, users of the CJS Super Hornet mod v2.4 might encounter issues due to changes in folder structures. I may have to drop support, as the only features you'll miss when using this mod with the Super Hornet are colored friendlies/flight members in SA, SA ring and radar arc, and JHMCS II—which isn't much. Some users have made the mod compatible on the official CJS Discord channel, but I can't guarantee that all features will work correctly.
  25. CapnCoke
    Thanks for the report. I'll try to update as soon as possible.
