Topic... In single monitor all is well, but when I switch on surround on 3 monitors, I cant see players names and to which aircraft they're assigned to, list seems empty. so I have to blindly select a plane and hope no one is already assigned to it. Is there a workaround? (except going back to 1 monitor...:D ) Thanks

Hi, I've managed to export the F15C radar screen (VSD) to a secondary monitor (with the MFCD parameter in the lua). Is it possible to export more displays like the RWR/TEWS and other instruments to another monitor WITHOUT Helios? Is there a concentrated list of viewports available to export for all the aircrafts in the sim - DCS and FC3? Thanks! __________________

Hi, There is so much info in many threads spread around here that I got confused... I want to find the best most efficient way to configure a 4 screen setup. 3 monitors (1920x1200) in surround mode, I use bezel correction, and 1 (1024x768 ) monitor in the bottom middle, for instruments extraction using icemaker's "easy monitor configurator". Using 1 GTX680. Should I use softTH for that? ( I preffer not to if it's not really better, to avoid complications). How should I setup the screen area? 1 for the sim it self and one below for the extracted instruments...?!! ED must really improve here... I got this setup up and running in no time in Falcon 4 BMS...but here I have to be a programmer....:cry: Thanks!

Hi, I've uploaded here the newest SweetFX - version 1.5.1, in JSGME compatible sturcture. I've put PeterP's settings file here, which is free to be altered of course. Enjoy :thumbup: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/585372/

indeed... I remembered using this mod without altering it's structure, therefore I was surprised that it behaved like that... but it might be my bad memory... Thanks!

HI, While following instructions from the first post, I have an issue when adding the mods, it adds to the main folder as a separate "DCS World" folder, with the mod in it... I was trying to add this addon: PeterP FPS friendly SweetFX settings with it's file structure as was in the zip file (PeterP FPS friendly SweetFX settings\DCS World\bin\SweetFX ... but it was added as described above - creating another folder of DCS World within the main folder... is it a folder hierarchy problem? should I direct JSGME to 1 folder above? (against instructions in first post?) My MODS folder as directed in JSGME is : ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\_MODS thanks!

Just saw your post... What were the old registry entries, do you know maybe? It did help me with EMC and the black shark, I.e temporary renaming to the old registry entries and then back... Is Icemaker active? I see no regard from him to recent posts - does anyone know if he intends to adjust the code? His work is highly appreciated and wish to see it continued although ED is doing it's best to break mods every update ... :) Cheers...

Same issue here, after complete reinstall tabs are gone and it keeps asking to install lua׳s... I had partial problem with the black shark in the past, that I had to change its name in the registry to ka-50 for EMC to recognize it, and after ending with EMC configuration I changed it back to ka-50bs1 to play again. Now in the registry it is named black shark 2, and not ka-50... And A10c is named warthog , but I dont know if it was changed recently as well. Not sure if it's the right track, but nothing works for me now, Please help... Thanks.

Middle East, Israel region has a diverse terrain, from mountains in the north to deserts in the south, sea, lakes, real war history, and unfortunately present as well, all that and more in a realistic environment and reasonably flyable distances. Take for example the "battle for Sinai" campaign running now at the Falcon online/BMS F16 community. And don't forget you can fly almost in any era planes here, and it would be realistic! Like Spitfire and Messerschmitt in 1948, Mustangs, Mirage, Phantoms, Skyhawks , F15 ,F16, Mig 21/23/27/29 and many more who fought in the skies of this amazing region up to these days. Gulf map is also nice but it wouldn't have the terrain diversity of the Middle East since it's mostly flat desert and rather boring after a short time. Same goes for Europe and the Far East, mostly just green. Been there done that... :)

Hi, Jumping thread... Is there any progress in SP 2 MP campaign conversion fitting 1.2.3? I'm new to the KA50 and WISH to fly the campaign with a buddy... Thanks

I will be a bit petty with you here about ED requires BS1 in bold red: "The "DCS: Black Shark 2" upgrade requires "DCS: Black Shark"!" you can understand from that many things, like a logical thing which is - I own it and I have the serial to prove it. not that I must install it again, activate it, and only then be permitted to install the upgrade, while all that time I have to keep BS1 safe and installed for the next time I want to change OS or hardware and do the routine all over again. There are many ways in this matter, to keep the clients happy in a clever way (ED suppose to be clever, I think) and not bug them with ancient methods of "prove me you bought it once from me" stuff. If ED wants to, they can deliver, I promise you that.

This approach has been answered here 2 posts above. Basically what you're saying is that I'm being "punished" for not buying the whole game again, and that's OK by ED not to come up with a simple "authentication utility" as suggested above (or something else), which would save the space and rather stupid hassle method it is now. "makes perfect sense" indeed...

Thanks for the replies. Basically I can afford 4.5GB of space... but why? for what? I'ts a logistical "nightmare"... I need to keep 2 copies installed, and when I want to move it to another PC/Windows - there's the deactivate/activate issue, which may not work if I do uninstall BS1... There should be a simple way to keep things working (i.e. sort of a DCS activation manager) but I don't think it's implemented, unless you guys here know a workaround, a utility etc'... or this is it? P.S. can ED guys address this issue maybe? (a bit naive, I know...)

Hi, I finally got the BS2 upgrade with the current price drop. Is there a way I could avoid having the original BS1 on my HD, taking lots of space (4.5GB) for activation?? Is there a workaround for that maybe? I could think of a way ED letting you insert your old serial for activation and then the new serial, for their authentication reasons, but why a whole 4.5GB of now obsolete data just for the activation?? (not even talking about the hassle of installing the old game first...) Thanks!

Thank you!

First, THANK YOU Icemaker for your time and effort!! a much needed tool indeed! Now, sorry for the silly question, but there are plenty of other instruments I would like to export, is it possible using this utility, and not Helios? Helios got me confused...this utility is way more intuitive for me... Thanks!

Are you sure?? when I hear other's reports, and also I felt, briefly, buffeting (I did not feel gear/flaps/gun though)... I'm not sure what to expect now... Has ED published somewhere an official take on this? what forces are implemented in the game for each aircraft? It will be nice if we can get official 'release notes' and not guess what's right or a bug here...

Update: I have now Uninstalled an deleted all leftovers in the system, Re installed and no change, the A10C still doesn't have FF effects other than trim. Su25 is working with FF as well as other games, So I can rule out joystick malfunction, but with a new fresh installation I don't know what to say/do now... Ideas?? :helpsmilie:

@Peter Are you suggesting no FF should be in the A10, or that there is none, except trim? Well , there are guys that have all those effects, and I want it as well for the main reason that I have no other "connection" to the plane and feel of flying, except visual cue's and its' not really enough. In BMS on an FBW F16 where there is no stick shake at all - I still do enable FF just to "feel" the planes energy, a real F16 pilot feels his plane with his entire body, and yet the stick doesn't move. it doesn't have to... FF compensates that for me somewhat via the stick. Definitely not "Hollywood Style" here for me. And if it is implemented in DCS A10, then I want it working for the above reasons, and I understand that it is, so help figure out how to enable it back... Thanks.

I have uninstalled but not fully - without the saved games folder, didn't want to lose all the HOTAS configs I've made. Can I save it somehow and put it back without overriding the fresh install? Also, are there more files to delete to fully uninstall?? Thanks.

OK... But please let me take you back to the original post, NO FF in the A10C, but IS ok in the Su25T ... what's going on here?? Thanks.

Good point - did not check it before... Well I DO have FF there (Su25) buffeting and gun... interesting...! What do you suggest?

still no-joy... That's odd, since, as I said before, my friends DO feel buffeting and gun fire effects with their FF2. Today I moved it to another usb port, and changed the shaker force to 100 (in game), and for a brief flight I DID feel buffet effects! no gear flaps or guns effects though. After crashing the plane and re-flying - the effects were gone.... So it is there... but highly unreliable for some. I would appreciate more inputs. Thanks!!

Sure... I have some technical knowledge, and usually I fix my problems, but this one seems to elude me... :helpsmilie:
