Hi, Question to the modders here : (might have been asked around here already...) AFTER a vehicle is destroyed - it is much more observable inthe A-10C TGP for example, as it should , and as in in real life (textures are brighter/darker and behave closer to real TGP visibility). Can some "destroyed" textures be somehow "adapted" / merged into the normal textures to make the vehicles more visible to TGP at least?? making the vehicle look intact before real destruction, but more visible with those added/altered textures in TGP? What is actually changed in the destroyed textures to make them look brighter, or have more contrast through TGP, but not to the naked (simulated) eye?? maybe this could be a partial solution the the terrible and wrong TGP spotting abilities?? Thanks!

Some vehicles are harder to detect in this great mod indeed... trying to play with the gain or contrast (in A10 TGP) produces allot of "noise" from the ground which worsens the problem. (didn't notice the rotor wash).

OK... (thought it was only in beta). please update (if possible) when this bug is solved... Thanks!

No advance on mission 4. "The Enemy Within" Mission 4 (Operation Hammerfall) I fly on 1.5 latest stable, I takeoff and reach WP2, after I get a call that within 7 minutes the forces are about to start - nothing else happens. I see the forces on the ground just waiting. Any clue?? Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Hi All, I was thinking about getting a mount for my triple monitors set (I use 3 X 24" screens), and I guess some of you might have more experience/knowledge to recommend a good proven stand in a reasonable price. I saw this type in Amazon (link below) and wondered if you have any thoughts about what is desired here, i.e. curvature of the arm, build quality (arms not bending), better prices... etc. Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/Mount--MI-773-Adjustable-Articulating-ViewSonic/dp/B00FQSHRK2/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1461673425&sr=8-19&keywords=triple+monitor+stand

HI, Where is the file(s) that is responsible for white smoke trail of the A-10C? (from fuel leaks for example...) I don't see it when it happens, but in multiplayer it is seen by others, so the problem is on my end. (I do see fire and black smoke from the engine though). I've tried to disable my mods but it is not easly reproduced, So if i'll know which file is it - I can monitor it. Help appreciated! P.S. I've tried to reproduce by recording a track in which I fly over a Shilka that hits me, but when replaying - the outcome is not always the same so it's hard to understand... (B.T.W. isn't the outcome supposed to be the same always?? :huh: )

Sorry to hear that... but thank you for this project!! Just got it recently and I'm happy to see it working in DCS. I hope to see further development of this, as I was just getting into it... Thanks Again :clap_2: Ron

Thanks. (3 camera view looks weird seeing my wings while looking forward...)

Hi, I use 3 monitors combined as one (Surround), and use one screen viewport in DCS. In the last patch I've happily noticed that ED fixed a problem with constraining the GUI viewport to the center screen only, and not stretched on all 3 screens. So now the menu is fine and centered. Problem is now that the F10 map view is also constrained to the center screen, which I don't mind if it weren't twisted and skewed , as if it was compressed from 3 monitors view to 1 monitor... In mission editor the view is fine, only in game it is skewed like that. I've seen some threads about similiar issues, (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=148562) but no solution for this. I guess ED way of handling 3 monitors is changed by now. Is it fixable now or we have to wait for the next ED patch? Is it possible to control the F10 view only? set it apart from the GUI viewport? (ED - this is the better option - to allow control of this viewport...) Thanks for helping! Ron Pics added of 100% view and normal view

Thanks!!

Is there a way (or can you make a way) to auto load a profile I select once I launch the program? With all the other stuff to launch like Track IR etc. I need a separate checklist just for launching the game, let alone flying... :) Thanks!!

It WAS the driver (it's always those damn drivers...) and after messing with it several times (cant reproduce what I've done already...) the driver looks ok now, not as in the manual though... In Hardware tab - under device functions, mine notes HID compliant device and USB Input Device. The manual says it should be “HID compliant devices ” and “ HID compliant consumer control device ” which I always tried to change to... Anyway, it looks great and thank you for the program and the support!! Cheers :thumbup: Ron

I have tried again, no crashes this time. same log: 26.03.2016 01:43:16 version : 2.1.451.4491 1 Message = [iNFO : No Saitek FIP driver found. FIP support not loaded. (assuming no FIPs are connected)] verified latest .Net 4.6.1. Creating new profile - same blank view. I'm suppose to see the panel I guess... or something to edit... maybe it's the driver? In the properties view of the driver I see it's only "HID compliant consumer controlled device" without "USB Input Device" or so... If I try to force it to display both drivers types in properties - I get exceptions which force me to kill the program. Originally it was only "USB Input device" and I had to change the driver myself as per the manual instructions... Ron

Thanks for you reply and support! The cog ( the small gears icon I suppose) rotates all the time, (also in the previous version) right when I load the program, without DCS running or without it being directed to the correct DCS BIOS Jason path.... when trying to create a new "NONE" profile - the program crashes and a log file is created but is empty. Ron [Flightpanels_2.1.546] EDIT: If I load the program and create new A10C profile - it does not crash immediately as before, when trying to create new "NONE" profile. still the result is the same and I get a blank screen. If, still within the program , after discarding the A10C profile and creating new "NONE" profile - the program wont crash, but I get a blank screen. now the log file indicates: 26.03.2016 12:49:16 version : 2.1.443.2795 1 Message = [FIPHandler failed to init. No Saitek drivers found.] 26.03.2016 12:49:16 version : 2.1.443.2795 1 Message = [FIPHandler failed to init. No Saitek drivers found.]

Hi and thanks for this great program! I have a problem with running it with the Switch panels. It's the first time with it, never ran before, Intended for A10C use. I've downloaded the latest version Flightpanels_2.1.544, I understand there is no need for DCS-Bios with the switch panel (although I've installed it anyway). Using Windows 8.1 64 Bit. First I had exceptions when running it. 26.03.2016 12:27:16 version : 2.1.441.6286 1066 Custom message = [] System.MissingMethodException Method not found: '!!0[] System.Array.Empty()'. at ProUsbPanels.SwitchPanelPZ55UserControl.NotifySwitchChanges(HashSet`1 switches) at ProUsbPanels.SwitchPanelPZ55UserControl.SwitchesChanged(String uniqueId, SaitekPanelsEnum saitekPanelsEnum, HashSet`1 hashSet) 26.03.2016 12:27:16 version : 2.1.441.6286 1066 Custom message = [] System.MissingMethodException Method not found: '!!0[] System.Array.Empty()'. at ProUsbPanels.SwitchPanelPZ55UserControl.NotifySwitchChanges(HashSet`1 switches) at ProUsbPanels.SwitchPanelPZ55UserControl.SwitchesChanged(String uniqueId, SaitekPanelsEnum saitekPanelsEnum, HashSet`1 hashSet) 26.03.2016 12:28:16 version : 2.1.441.6286 1 Message = [FIPHandler failed to init.

(tried everything to be honest...) Running as administrator. What am I missing? Thanks for your help!

was it fixed?? can I constrain the menu to the middle screen now? If so - how? Thanks!

Is that still a bug or resolved already?? Im trying to find how to constrain the gui to the main screen only, on a one monitor configuration over surround. please anyone advise ... thx

Important mod,thank you! Does it address target size as well? I expect to spot an F15 or SU27/31 at twice the range I spot the F16/MIG21. Cheers:)

Thank you, but I have a one monitor configuration on my 3 screens , not 3 different viewports with left center and right screen in the lua file. So your advice does not apply here. I've already tried that. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

That is my current configuration on Nvida surround with a 4th smaller monitor for MFD exports. I've used Helios in the past but I think it was with 2 monitors only (can't remember) I believe you wont have any problem running Helios on the fourth monitor anyway. Good luck!

UI still non constrained? Do you know if the UI still can not be constrained to the center monitor out of 3 in surround (as it use to be in 1.2) ?? So far I haven't found a solution to a 1 monitor configuration, putting the menu items in the center. now it's spread across 3 screens. I might have missed the solution over the forums - if there was any... Will appreciate your inputs guys....

Have seen this match?? FFB with COUGAR ... Can be done as you see. Perfect match. But with Warthog..... :joystick: original pic from here: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/460-what-flight-stick-do-you-use/page-4

Very Generous of you, thank you! :beer:
