I tried, but the DCS waypoint export via LoGetRoute() is no longer working. If anyone can point me to a way to export waypoint info out of DCS, I'd be happy to incldue it in MovingMap!

scommander2, did you replace your movingmap-hook.lua in the DCS SavedGames Script folder with the newest version? I've fixed this error with the latest release. It should cause no problems though using the old version, apart from this dcs.log entry. --------- By the way, I am shortly releasing the next MovingMap version which will feature many user requests, included: - Map Zoom via keypresses (Windows version, allocable) - Map Zoom via Mousewheel (Windows version) - MGRS Coordinates - MovingMap will not close with ESC button Any other feature requests for the next release, please post them now!

_JMax, the current version does not support key inputs. An option to bind keys for zoom is planned for the next release.

At the moment the map zoom can only be controlled via the buttons on the left of the screen. I can look into options to assign keys to control the zoom in the next update. What exactly do you mean by 'triggered on/off'? MovingMap is a standalone program/app and does not need to be switched on or off.

Hi scommander2! There is no real connection between DCS and MovingMap, DCS just sends out a stream of data via UDP as soon as the movingmap-hook.lua file is placed in the Scripts/Hooks folder. The entry in the Specials tab just sets the address.

Hi everyone, I need your help please! I am trying to show/export the F/A-18C RWR screen with this code in a Config/MonitorSetup .lua file: FA_18C_RWR = { x = 0; y = 450; width = 300; height = 300 } The export works, but has a transparent background. All the other MFDs have a black background, and can so easily be shown on separate monitors. How can I make the RWR background black as well? Many thanks for your help! Bergison

sobe, are you using the latest version of movingmap-hook.lua in your SavedGames/DCS/Scripts/Hooks folder? You can download the latest version on my webiste (https://movingmap.bergison.com/download) If you checked this and are still receiving no data from DCS, please check your dcs.log file (found in SavedGames/DCS/Logs folder) and search for any Errors containing 'movingmap-hook' -------------------- Oh, I posted my reply before reading that your MovingMap is now working! Glad to hear and thanks for working it out! Have fun with it!

Hi sobe, does the app only show an empty black screen, or does it show the logo and the 'No data from DCS' message? Does your Android App work?

Hi sobe, does the app only show an empty black screen, or does it show the logo and the 'No data from DCS' message? Does your Android App work? In any case, you need to make sure that Windows Defender (or any other software) does allow UDP data on port 50000.

Wow thanks, that looks very promising already! Do you maybe know how to use 'getListIndicatorValue' with a hook lua script? I have tried local IFEI = getListIndicatorValue(5) local own_fuel = IFEI.txt_FUEL_UP and local IFEI = Export.getListIndicatorValue(5) local own_fuel = IFEI.txt_FUEL_UP but none works. Thanks again for your help!

Resuscitating a very old thread here, but I am struggling to find the panel argument of the fuel on board value for the FA-18. Looked through all the IFEI files, can't find anything. Any help is apprechiated!

The Windows version and the full Android version support all present and future DCS theaters.

Have you tried launching MovingMap as administrator? Could you please also try and move the entire folder to another hard drive? Maybe it lacks writing permission. Downloaded maps should be saved in the 'cache' folder, do you see any map tiles there?

EFGross, which version are you using? Android or Windows? The maps are downloaded in the background, does your App have internet permissions set (Android) or does maybe Windows Defender block internet access? AdrianL, thank you! I will add this to the download .zip

There is no need to edit or change these values, they are saved automatically when the App closes. For a reference, this is what MovingMap saves at each index: user settable values (saved in config.ini file) 0 = 2 MAP style (2, 3, 4) 1 = 1 TYPE show/hide (-1/1) 2 = -1 C/S show/hide (-1/1) 3 = -1 ALT show/hide (-1/1) 4 = 1 ROSE show/hide (-1/1) 5 = -1 SZ/F show/hide (-1/1) 6 = 1 SZ/E show/hide (-1/1) 7 = 1 TRACK show/hide (-1/1) 8 = 0.5 MAP opacity (0 .. 1) 9 = 50 Missile Warning Volume (%) (0 .. 100) 10 = 1 AIP show/hide (-1/1)

Yes, of course.

Update: Version 15 is out with new features and some fixes: - added the OpenAIP map overlay: it shows Navaids, Airspaces and Aerodromes, and can be toggled on/off with the 'AIP' button. - fixed a performance issue, where units 'disappeared' from the map in missions and on servers with a high number of units. As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy! IMPORTANT: if you upgrade from an older version, you need to replace the movingmap-hook.lua file in your Saved Games\DCS[.openbeta]\Scripts\Hooks folder with the updated one included in the .zip file on the download page: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DCS MovingMap (free Windows version): https://movingmap.bergison.com/download DCS MovingMap Caucasus (free version): DCS MovingMap (full version supporting all DCS theaters) NOTE: consider installing the free Caucasus version first, to try out the app and to test if your DCS data export is working! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To your questions: MovingMap does saves all settings in a file named config.cfg, which is already included in the .zip file. Make sure it is in the same folder as the DCS_MovingMap.exe and not read/write protected. We'd need a provider for (free) MGRS grid map tiles. I've looked around a bit but could not find any. If you happen to know or find such a service, I am happy to add it as a map overlay to MovingMap! I have just tested the Windows version on a 7" touchscreen, and the App works exactly like the Android version.

Update to version 12 is out with some new features: - added current Groundspeed (= True Airspeed +/- Wind component) to the Ownship Info Box - added ETE (estimated time enroute) to a selected Markpoint to the Markpoint Info Box - added a Mapscale 1 NM button (as requested by some users) As always, feedback is welcome!

Update to version 11 is out with some bug fixes and a new slider to control the Missile Warning volume. DCS MovingMap now also remembers your preferred settings (like map style or unit label selection) between sessions. As always, feedback is welcome!

No, the update is for all versions of course, only the screenshots are made in the Caucasus map. I have received some reports about virus alerts: it seems to be related to the way Python scripts are packed for Windows (see this article). These reports are false-positives, there is definitively no virus or trojan in my code!

Have not tried this, but if it is a Windows server I see no reason why it should not work. Update to version x.9 with some new features: 1) a Missile Warning System, that displays a warning if a missile gets close to the users unit. 2) a Track Recording function, that records and shows the users track over the map. The recorded track can be reset on the settings page. Download in the Android PlayStore or https://movingmap.bergison.com/download

Fantastic! I've been waiting for this feature for years! Thanks for the link!

Hi Nato, that's very strange. Please check if any Antivirus or Malware Software blocks/deletes the exe file. There seem to be reports of simular cases: https://windowsreport.com/exe-files-deleting-themselves/

Interesting idea, I would definitively support this! I've posted it on the OpenKneeboard Github page (link). Update: fredemmont from OpenKneeboard asked if the 'window capture support' works for this. Could you please try?

Sorry for this inconvenience! So this happens with the Windows version? Does the app crash in one specific mission or also in others? Multi- or Singleplayer? Have you copied the new files from the Mods and Scripts folder to the DCS SavedGames? Also please check if any Antivirus/Malware software might block MovingMap.
