Ok that's genius! I'm in the process of convincing the wife to let me build something :D

Ahh those lines seem to disappear when printing so all good :)

I just tried downloading those plans but the detailed diagrams with all the measurements are all messed up (loads of coloured lines every etc). Would someone be able to attach them as PDF or something? It might be these old Word 6 plans don't play nicely with my OSX Office 2011....

Fantastic! Will be changing my default view later thanks to those instructions :)

Clever idea. Not sure what I could make those out of though. I've not exactly got a fully kitted out workshop :) I guess I need some black plastic box tubing of some sort....

The backs of the MFDs are held on with a few small screws. I was considering removing the back to see if a) it made the MFD thinner whilst still being useable and b) allowing more options for running the cable. Don't want to break one though :)

Got my Cougar MFDs and they are great! Currently got them blutacked to a spare monitor I had lying around and they add so much to the game :) I'm thinking of what to do next, and I've stripped the bezel from the monitor so I can overlay my own creation. However I'm not sure what to do with the cables from the MFDs.... The MFDs need to be at the top (if I'm going for anything approaching the correct layout) but the cables come out at the bottom and are going to look unsightly. What have other people done with theirs? :helpsmilie:

Wow. Just wow! Not sure what else to say really.................

Very helpful thanks!

Surely it's going to depend on the resolution you're running plus the physical size of your monitor, as the Cougars are fixed in size? (I'm getting my Cougars this week so will be doing the same thing) I'm assuming I'm going to just have to use trial and error until it looks right.....

Had a play with the Loz SM profile on the Helios site last night and it's very cool indeed! I've got some issues (my 2nd screen is only 1280x1024) so things have to squash abit (which I guess means the sizes will be wrong when I get the Cougar MFDs) but I can play around to rearrange things to my liking. Seems a bit odd that some switches in Helios are clickable, but others like say Gun Arm etc aren't (but do display the correct state if you flick the switch in the 3D cockpit). Is that correct? It kinda means I can't replace using the 3D cockpit by using Helios....

Wow those look great guys :D Going to have some fun experimenting with this I can tell!

So i can make the A-10 screen resolution just big enough to use the space for the MFCDs on the 2nd display, then use Helios to grab the rest. I'd have thought the game itself would want to grab the whole of both screens..... Will have to have a play around I guess :)

Exactly that! It's a lot of cash so need to be sure I'm going to get my money's worth :pilotfly:

Well I'm getting more and more into this sim :) I've figured out how to export my MFCDs on a second screen (using the very helpful advice on this forum) and it looks great. However looking to the side but still pressing buttons in the cockit wasn't much good so I've ordered some Cougar MFDs which should be arriving this week. Very excited :lol: So that left me wondering what to do with the rest of the space on my second monitor. I've seen Helios and Hawgtouch mentioned on here but I'm unsure of a couple of things. a) what the difference is between the 2 and why I'd use one over the other b) can I fill the space left over from my exported MFCDs using one of these apps, or do they need their own dedicated screen to run on? Cheers! p.s. I'm now close to ordering a Warthog HOTAS as well :D

Sure :) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Warthog\Keys\License0 and you need the string in the 'Number' key HTH

Oh yes! Saved in a txt file for future use :thumbup:

Hmm found my licence key still in the Registry :D All installed and working!

UGH sounds like Steam have run out of CD-keys and I've uninstalled it now :( Guess I'll have to wait.....

Great! How do I get the key though? Other threads suggest I can right-click on the game in Steam and there should be an option to get my key, but I appear to have no such option.....

Hi, Picked up this great sim in the Steam sales and installed it via Steam. However from doing some reading etc I've realised there's also DCS World which looks pretty interesting. So if I uninstall A-10 from Steam can I use the Steam key to activate it in DCS World, or am I now stuck because I've already used the key once? Don't want to mess anything up.... Cheers!
