  1. New to this. I have no idea how to use it, where to put anything. How do I move the profile to my lower monitor? I can't click and drag it, It doesn't move. Where the export.lua scripts go? Can some one please make a a step by step tutorial? I can't find any clear documentation on how to set this up. I'm running 4 monitors. 3 across with Nvidia surround (5760x1080) across and 1680x1050 below. Trying to put Ikarus on the 1680x1050 monitor. thanks guys.
  2. OMG, my brain hurts trying to figure this out. I have 4 screens in a T shape. three 1920x1080 across the top (5760x1080) and the bottom monitor is 1680x1050. I can't understand how to set this up. I would like the bottom to Show the MFD's and avionics and the top to span the main view. Any help would be appreciated.
  3. Any one have any idea how I can adapt this to 4 monitors? 3 across with one below the center view? UPDATE: Yep, it works. Set Top 3 screens in Nvidia surround as 1 screen. The go to display settings, turn on 4th monitor, place in center below the top 3 screens. Go into Virtual cockpit server and stretch cockpit from left to right screen. Place MFD's on second monitor/ Save, force update, done. Works great.
  4. Strike, you dumbass!! Enable plugin support in the options menu in VA! Ohhhhhh!!! Works now...lol
  5. I cannot get Viacom Pro to start at all. I followed the video instructions. Viacom to appfolder in VA. However, when I start VA in admin mode, there is nothing at all that comes up Viacom. I don't get the "license window" at VA start up. I purchased a license for Viacom pro.
  6. Two more weeks. :music_whistling:
  7. **SIGH** They got me.I blacked out and woke up at the "Confirmed Purchase screen. " :glare:
  8. Is it possible to change out the DB15 connector on the Cougar TQS to a standard USB 2 cable? Or a cheaper alternative to the Realsim Adaptor?
  9. That was really nice of you to load the pic's up. Thank you so much. Impressive too.
  10. AtMega 2560? https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-ATmega2560-16AU-Board-compatible-Arduino/dp/B00D9NA4CY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1509630543&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=arduino+mega&psc=1
  11. Thanks Deadman, I am. This is the Arduino board I'm looking at; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D9NEJ7U/ref=crt_ewc_img_huc_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ADHH624DX2Q66 Any thoughts?
  12. Could you Reupload your pics for this thread? I have a VolairSim and would like some ideas on how to integrate panels with it.
  13. Padonis, In Pic number two I see you've built the VHS Radio. This is the exact radio I'm doing research to build myself. I noticed you have it all encapsulated. Where did you get the backing to fit your face place. Also, I'm going to be using the MAX7249 to drive the Seven Segment displays. What parts did you use to build that radio ?
  14. Ian, Rodger Thank you So much. Looking at them now. I just cannot believe how incredibly cheap it is to do these things. Tech has come a long long way. So a List of parts that I'll need are: Face plate. http://pcflights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47_62_63&products_id=386 Plus knobs. Max7249 Chip With possible breakout boards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Digit-LED-Display-MAX7219-7-Segment-Digital-Tube-For-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi/172417734981?var=471250330321&hash=item2824e5d945:g:R0oAAOSwx6pYnEC9 Green Seven segment Displays that are common cathode type: Still looking fir these. Adruino Uno? https://www.amazon.com/Elegoo-Board-ATmega328P-ATMEGA16U2-Arduino/dp/B01EWOE0UU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1509558573&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=arduino+uno+-+r3&psc=1 Rotary switches ? Type? Can I possibly use an LCD instead of SEGS? What do you guys think? How would that change the interface? https://www.ebay.com/itm/0-91-IIC-I2C-SPI128x32-White-OLED-LCD-Display-Module-For-Arduino-PIC-/172435137027?_trksid=p5731.m3795 I left a message on Craig S's video to ask about his part's list.
  15. Thanks Deadman. I've sent a message to Jim Wall (Warthog) for some help as well. I don't know if he's still on the forums or not. The last post I saw from him was 2015. I'm determined to do it. I just want to build this one to see if I can. But again, What Displays do I use? I know I want green, and they're Seven Segment? Do I mount them on a PCB? If so, what PCB do I use? The guy "Joesim" On Youtube and another on "CraigS" say using the max7219 chip is the way to go to drive the Segs. So many questions. Wait a second, Someone correct me if I'm wrong, But this is the board the Seg's are mounted to for interface? https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Digit-LED-Display-MAX7219-7-Segment-Digital-Tube-For-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi/172417734981?var=471250330321&hash=item2824e5d945:g:R0oAAOSwx6pYnEC9 And I have to buy the Green Seg's separate and mount them to the above board? Is that correct?
  16. Thanks. Yep watch Tigersharks stuff before. I want to go with Adruino. My issue is how to mount and interface the displays so everything fits. Do I mount them to a pcb board? If so, what one?(7 segment displays?) Interfacing the buttons and such seems pretty straight forward. And what about back lighting? So many variables. I plan on using DCs-Bios .
  17. Hi All, I'm wanting to build my first panel. I'd like to start with the VHF Radio panel in the A10C. Other than purchasing panel it's self http://pcflights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47_62_63&products_id=386 What else do I need? I need a list of goods and guidance on how to put it all together. Once I have everything I need, (Guidance included) I'll document the process here step by step to help others. Complete NOOB at this, so please be gentle :smilewink: Thanks.
  18. This is going to be a very very stupid question/comment. So please accept my apologies in advance. I cannot figure out how to DL this software. :-( All there are for me are links to code.
  19. When I start DCS after Starting Ultra MFCD I get the following Error. I have DCS 1.5 Updated to the latest version, Up dated my Nvidia Graphics DRivers as well. I'm Running Windows 7. IT also causes DCS to Stop working when I try to gointo the 3d world.
  20. I wonder if it would be possible to make a reasonably priced MFCD. One complete unit that is plug and play. With the TM MFD's it's just the bezel and nothing on the market really fit's within the bezel dimensions. I travel for a living, so having a compact, plug and play option would be great. Combine that with the ultra mfcd software and you've got a winner! LOL. They would't have to be the exact size of the real one's either. They could be bigger. Just an idea.
