Darkstorm

An additional issue has now also shown up in the Training missions I have a Dell 3008WFP A02 which is capable of 2560*1600 If the display resolution is set to 1920*1200 then the simulation hangs the computer with a screen freeze and I have to carry out a forced shutdown and restart. Drop the simulation resolution to 1920*1080 and although I now have part of the Desktop visible I can now see what tbe issue is. The simulation window screen flickers as soon as the OK to start the training is selected, goes all green and then reports that the video driver has crashed and been restarted after which all is well. Very odd, and it does it every time. System specs are A10C 1.1.0.7 - I'm leaving 1.1.0.8 alone for now. XFX 790 FTW Digital mainboard Intel QX9770 CPU @3.4GHz - no overclock 8GB DDR3 RAM Dual EVGA 1GB 9800GX2 in Quad SLi Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and patched to June 2011 On-board sound All current mobo and GPU drivers currently avail from OEMs

I have the same issue with my Quad SLI setup and with the very latest drivers that nVidia released at the beginning of June. I know my 9800GX2 cards are getting long in the tooth now, but even so. As soon as SLI is disabled the issue goes away.

Go to the Microsoft wrbsite and you'll find a How to' for migrating from Vista 32 to Win7 64. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom The process is straightforward but does take some time. I did mine a month ago going from Vista 32 Ultimate to Win 7 64 Ultimate. It went without a hitch and once the programs are reloaded then most work immediately as the links etc are saved by the transfer system. Allow at least a couple of days to do it though. And follow the instructions to the letter, and also make a note of any non-default program installs so you put them back on the same drive/partition.

Personally I don't care when it finally gets here as long as it's right :) In the meantime it gives me more time to learn what is very new Sim to me, get my HOTAS Warthog control useage 'instinctive' and have FUN at the same time..... :pilotfly:

No such option exists on my system! I'll email support. :)

That's a no then. Didn't see that in the instructions anywhere. I'll try it tomorrow. I kbew it had to be simple. Thanks :)

Yup done that too. Wherever I place the MFCDS within the drawn space, all I get on the iPad is the background as it appears in that position on the sim when it's running. If I place the 300x300 graphics on top of the MFCDs in the sim image then I still get them in background only with the perspective completely wrong making them useless as the buttons don't line up. If I zoom in and out, so does the MFCDS. And what is the 'correct' position of DCS - are we talking the server app that sends the data to the iPad, or the A10C simulation itself? Need to be careful with nomenclature here as in all cases the App and Server should be referred to by their correct names (perhaps iControlDCS and DCSServer?) and the sim as A10C so everyone knows what is being referred to? Sorry to be picky, it's not intended to annoy, it's just safer for all those of us who are new to this A10C and therefore have to follow instructions carefully, even when we're seeking help. To me 'DCS' is the simulator product producer and not the sim or add-on names. You can tell I used to be a Quality Manager :helpsmilie: it saves any wrong assumptions or interpretations too :smartass::):pilotfly:

Either I'm missing something here, or the instructions for setting the displays up need more steps. I am using a single display (Dell 3008 WFP A02) in 1920x1200 resolution and nothing I have tried has correctly exported the MFCDs to the iPad. All I get is a repeat of a different part of the cockpit, or a cockpit frame or an MFCD with the wrong perspective angles meaning it's completely unusable. I have followed the instructions very carefully but with no success. If I use your pictures with the three displays off to the LHS of the cockpit view then all I get is the view of the top left forward canopy frame, or further diwn the top left canopy frame on the two MFCDs. Shutting the App down and restarting it on the iPad cause an immediate BSOD - USB error (Win 7 Ultimate 64). EDIT - now getting BSODs with USB-BUG-ERROR all the time. Working to find what's changed. The last addition was the server software. Puzzled! I have tried filling the entire desktop with the grey background, then covering it with the cockpit, then positioning the MFCDs on top in the matching locations - that does not work. Filling the window with the background and then placing the MFCDs stacked to the left, off the cockpit along with the CDU - also off the cockpit, also results in no view of the MFCDs on the iPad. For single display users, exactly how does this App and server need to be configured because as I said there is either a step missing, or the instructions are unclear. I also have no button that says 'Configure Display' as in the instructions. I do have one called 'Display Configuration...' In the Tools dropdown though. Typo, or is there another control somewhere? This is only day 1 with the whole suite and I need to buy rudder pedals to go with the HOTAS Warthog. A note of caution with the Warthog! Get a powered USB Hub. The throttle unit has already killed one powered USB port on the monitor so beware!! Any clarification on what I'm doing wrong gratefully received :) System Spec: EVGA 790FTW Digital On Board Sound (Creative Card available but disabled due to PCI Bus crosstalk) Intel QX9770 not overclocked 2of XFX 9800GX2 1GB VRAM in Quad SLI mode 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM Dell 3008 WFP Monitor Windows 7 Ultimate 64 HOTAS Warthog iPad 1 64GB WiFi/3G iOS 4.3.3
