It may be possible to edit the snapviewsdefault.lua file to set the default positions for all the views on all the aircraft but i am at work now and don't have access to the file.If you search for help on editing this file you may find what you are looking for.

Yes it does it in SP and MP start.

For what it's worth, I also upgraded to SSD drives in my system both for a C: drive operating system and a D: drive game and data drive.After MUCH grief trying to transfer the existing OS to the SSD drive and much reading and research I found that although it is possible to transfer the OS to the SSD it is not recommended.The SSD drive needs to be properly prepared to recieve the transferred data otherwise there will be much inefficiency and wasted space on the drive. Windows 7 and later is written to recognize and properly prepare an SSD drive for OS installation so you woul;d be better off starting from scratch.BUT... this is not a bad thing!You will find that with the BLAZING speed of the new SSD drive your installs of the OS and all subsequent software including DCS and it's modules will go incredibly quickly.I was able to recreate my entire system with all new installs of all my software as well as every DSC module in record time.My entire system took less time to install than just doing the OS alone on an old platter drive.Just make sure to properly back up your data files and emails and doscs before you start.GOOD LUCK in whatevfer way you decide to go.

I believe they use drag chutes to stop plus a LOT of runway.

Ok-Let's be realistic here...If rockets could take out a tank then why spend all that time and money developing TOW and Hellfire and Maverick missile to kill tanks.Wouldn't they just load a sh*tload of rockets which are much cheaper and go tank blasting. Forget about killing tanks with rockets...It's a pipe dream. Now with that said, I do think the rockets in DCS are pitifully weak and can't even kill troops when they blow up 5 feet away from them.This I think is a more serious issue which needs to be address as the primary target for rockets is after all soft targets like troops, trucks, boats, and structures.They need to be made much more effective against these types of targets.

Apparently since the new patch Helios must be started AFTER DCS,otherwise DCS covers up the helios screens.Hope they address this as it is moderately inconvenient to helios users.I have found that as long as you have some other window opened on the screen (even an explorer page or a text doc minimized) then you are able to ALT-TAB out of DCS to start helios.

Why?

What you want is Helios (free) and a small 10 in touch screen vga monitor.they can be as low as 100 bucks or even less.I used the usb lilliput monitors at first but hated messing with the displaylink driver they required to run them which kept messing up my screen displays and their power requirements kept overloading the usb hubs.Now i have 2- 8" vga touch screen monitors which i use for the mfd displays and you could use 1 of the same type for the cdu.all you need is a graphic card with a second vga output.then setup dcs world monitor config.lua to output the mfd displays to the second monitors behind the cdu panel created in helios.look around he internet for the monitors.they are out there.

It is in the server.lua file in the view folder .

Sorry i've been away so long.Here is what i did before the last update of dcs world. 1: first go to the leavuERI_2.1/Fc2Exports/export.lua and pull out the lines concerning the dofiles. that would be lines 21 through 31 as shown here... -- We need som basic math functions dofile("./Config/export/math_fcns.lua") -- Include the data export dofile("./Config/export/Yoda_Export.lua") -- Include the LEAVU functions dofile("./Config/export/LEAVU_fcns.lua") -- Include the Eagle radar improvements dofile("./Config/export/ERI_radar.lua") 2: copy these lines into your dcs world export.lua file in the users/saved games folder using a text editor such as notepad ++ or ultraedit. 3: copy the four files mentioned in the above text from the LeavuERI_2.1/Fc2Exports folder to the DCSworld export directory where the dcsworld export.lua is located...these files should include math_fcns.lua Yoda_Export.lua LEAVU_fcns.lua ERI_radar.lua 4:then run leavu and set up mfd's on a second monitor 5: lastly run dcsworld and go to display options...then set the monitor display config to "1monitor" and screen resolution to whatever your single monitor display would be for your primary monitor.eg 1920 /1080 .if you do not do this and are running multi monitor then dcs will cover up the leavu displays when it starts. This worked for me before the latest updates of dcsworld when they moved the export.lua.so give it a try and let me know how you make out. **AS ALWAYS ..BACKUP ALL FILES THAT YOU MODIFY JUST IN CASE!*** This will only activate the mfd displays but it will NOT make the instruments work in helios.that requires an updated export lua from gadroc for fc3 and helios.Good luck

Just wondering if any progress has been made since AJ's last post?Any word on dcs world version ?

I dont know if you are still monitoring this thread but I have been able to get leavu2.1 to work with dcs world flaming cliffs 3.It requires a few file copys from the leavu 2 fc2 directory and a cut and past of a few more lines in the export.lua in dcsworld.However I am as yet unable to get helios to work with flaming cliffs 3.I believe this requires a new interface from the helios developer.I can only hope that he is working on this at this time.I intend to go to his site and leave a message asking if this is indeed the case.If you would like further details i will be happy to provide them but i am at work right now and don'thave the files with me.leave a message in this thread and i will check in from time to time.

I am having the same problem.when i try to logon to multiplayer it says "you dont have licence for this product" but when i try to register my login it says my correct serial shows up in the window and it say "serial is already in use".I have opened a ticket in the support of ED but they seem to never respond to anything. Even in my main page registration login they dont seem to have any record of my purchase even though i still have the original email reciept from them back Nov 2010. tonyz
