Universal UFC| Works with all modules | Simple Install
ANDR0ID replied to prestonflying's topic in Winwing
@Trigati Thanks for your update, great to see others in the community supporting this project! It did give me some time to work on other things... see below. @prestonflying I finally took the opportunity to test your latest version which addresses some of the issues I was having with other mods and stalling my development. Pull request submitted to update some utility functions and add support for the following mods: AH-6J OV-10 SK-60 If there are other popular mods out there I'm missing, please feel free to let me know and I'll looking to building a profile. -
@prestonflying awesome work once again! I don't have the F-16 ICP, but its great to see the trend of Universal application continuing. Thanks for your contributions to the DCS community.

This came up a few months ago... when I tested the the Super Hornet mod at the time worked straight out of the box since its based on the F-18. If memory serves, this was before I developed a "general" profile so that may be causing a conflict. I wasn't a huge fan of the Super Hornet mod as I seem to recall it replaces some core files (ie not a saved games mod), but I can probably take another look since it seems like there is still community interest and things may have changed from the last time I looked at it. Nothing per say is prohibiting the export of other data for the A-10C or A-10CII... The current profile was intended to mimic the A-10C UFC (right term?) which only needed static elements. As an update, the master caution was added - admittedly mostly for fun as I was learning to code for this project, but also to add a dynamic element to the profile (original profile by prestonflying was static only). It could be updated, but I think the profile is useful given the A-10C layout and using the WinWing UFC to control functions instead of having to use the mouse cursor in the cockpit. -
solved Mi-8 Crew Status Indicator Position
ANDR0ID replied to GeoS72's topic in DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight
Great to know... I've been moving the indicator manually for the Mi-8 and Huey separately, but know it can be done via a common lua is great... would be nice this this was just an option in the in-game settings though. -

Just flew in the Mi-8 on the latest DCS build... no issues for me. To double-check, the latest update merged Open and Stable correct? I didn't need to specifically swap the unified build? If not correct, then I can do some further digging. With that said, if your WWT folder is gone, you may need to restore it via SimAppPro, then reinstall the universal UFC files. Let us know if we can help with further troubleshooting to get it back up and running. -
External laser on 1688, JTAC, other aircraft, etc. Hopefully we get an update to the A-29 that restores the FLIR/Laser functionality
-
For those interested in some additional guided weapon options for the A-29, I have added a weapons pack to DCS User Files: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335898/ Includes (custom) APKWS, Hellfire, and Mavericks.

Extremely generous of you and unexpected. prestonflying deserves the vast majority of the credit on this project, but offers like yours reflect what I enjoy about the DCS community... folks being willing to help others so we can all enjoy DCS. The projects I've been fortunate to work on or publish have only been possible thanks to the shared work and support of others in the community. -
While the ACH-47 could be fun, I think its unlikely with the current version expected as it was only prototyped on the "A" model. Maybe we can at least have the option for extra gunners as seen on some contemporary CH-47 varients, ie 5 gunner stations (2x each side + ramp).

I've been exclusively using Helios with the MFDs... takes a bit of work to set up, but the ability to use it across all airframes is too valuable not to use it in my opinion. -
From ASC / C-130J... but probably a good indicator of improvements coming to the cargo system across DCS.

I tested the T-45, and my profile is working... Admittedly I haven't updated SimApp Pro or from prestonflying's repository in some time, but I can reupload my T-45 profile if issues are still being had for others. -

I haven't run the T-45 in some time, but happy to take another look on my end... will update with my findings. -

We could certainly update the Helicopter files for VVI... I didn't include it in the versions I did as I have second screen which displays a VVI gauge, so the data on the UFC as currently scripted which information that I find more useful. Happy to help you try to update your files to tweak them more to your liking, good to see there is still interest in this project. -
ADMIRAL189'S CORNER - INCOMING SHIP MODELS
ANDR0ID replied to Admiral189's topic in Static/AI Mods for DCS World
@Admiral189 Thanks for the great work. I especially appreciate you showing the USCG some love. I finally had the chance to use USCGC BERTHOLF in game and three recommended improvements came to mind. 1) The US and USCG flags appear upside down/reversed. 2) The USCG flag used is not the USCG Ensign typically flown by USCG Cutters underway. () 3) BERTHOLF did not have the helicopter line up line on the aft superstructure... would be nice for helicopter evolutions. Photo to illustrate attached. Finally, I'm curious if you have plans to add a USCG Sentinel Class WPC in the future? Perhaps in the expeditionary configuration for FIFTH Fleet with the additional .50 cals and MK-19? Thanks again for sharing your work & good luck with your upcoming procedure. -
Understood on the MH-47 have significant differences from the standard CH-47... having a special option in the mission editor, for example, to have a fuel probe would be a welcome option none-the-less in my opinion. Obviously a nice to have that I wouldn't expect on initial release, but more options are good from my view point. Based on the variations in photos we've seen already, their may already be options in the works.
-
Interesting... Being confirmed as a US Army variant it makes me wonder if we'll see some special options from other US Army Models... like a fuel probe, even if its not perfectly accurate for the F model.

UFC or HUD? Right now the A-10C profile is set up to mimic the UFC which is mostly static, other than the Master Caution indicator. Using the WinWing UFC to display some A-10C HUD data can probably be done but to certain extent the question is why when its on the HUD for you in game. -
SimApp Pro does need to be running for the UFC screens to display data. I'm not sure on the hud only view... can test later if some else doesn't come along with the answer.

UH-60L and MH-60R profiles updated on github to support proper radio frequency displays for the ARC-201 and ARC-186 radios following update 1.3.2 to the UH-60L mod. Regret this taking so long as I was caught up in fixing the radios for SRS and overlooked the UFC, then time got away from me for a bit.
