  1. I know you can adjust the seat with shortcut keys, but does HB ever have plans to make the switch in the cockpit work?  A few patches ago we think the pilot position changed and is high up now, which makes refueling pretty difficult, it's easy enough to use the keybinds, but it would be really nice to be able to use the in cockpit switch.

    Any HB plans to make this functional?

    I have a ticket in with WW about the parking brake.  I got my first response today that said: "Hello, you can try to rotate it left and right, or gently lift it up".  So, they/she didn't indicate that it did not turn vertically..  But maybe she doesn't know what she's talking about??    And I think that's a model (not a real product) in the video.  So, the video guy may have messed up turning it vertical?

    Does the Emergency/Parking Brake turn vertically?  And does it stay in that position?  Mine does not, and I finally found a manual, thanks to a post in this thread.

    Here is a vid of my Parking Break issue.  I don't know if it even is supposed to turn vertically???

    Also, I don't like this new bracket.  The bracket for my Combat Panel is adjustable and I have it clamped to a 2x4 in my pit.  I don't know how I am going to use this bracket..

    Here are some pics of my setup, with my actuator to move my panels/throttle.  I have a switch at the front/side of my seat.

    Same exact for me.  I think It's supposed to be like this and whoever did the promo video for WW thought the same as we did.

    We have raised the issue of this passing integrity check to the team. 

    I suspect labels.lua will need to be added to the IC

    Thank you 

    Newy, wrong file.  This is dots.fx.

    Can ED at least improve the dots before removing our ability to alter them?  Maybe implement the mod as a permanent change so that playing at a higher resolution isn't a negative?

  5. Hey all, I recently moved to a cockpit that is separate from my other monitors (in different rooms).  I haven't been able to figure out how to get my George interfaces to show up though.

    Here is the display setup:

    image.png

    monitor.lua file:

    _  = function(p) return p; end;
    name = _('Cockpit');
    Description = 'Sub Displays'
    Viewports =
    {
         Center =
         {
              x = 5360;
              y = 0;
              width = 2560;
              height = 1440;
              viewDx = 0;
              viewDy = 0;
              aspect = 2560/1440;
         }
    }
    
    LEFT_MFCD =
    {
         x = 5360;
         y = 1440;
         width = 525;
         height = 525;
    }
    
    RIGHT_MFCD =
    {
         x = 7395;
         y = 1440;
         width = 525;
         height = 525;
    }
    F14_JESTER_MENU =
    {
        x = 5360;
        y = 0;
        width = 2560;
        height = 1440;
    }
    
    GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center
    
    UIMainView = Viewports.Center

    George AI file:

    --viewports stuff	
    	local v = find_viewport("GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT", "CENTER")
    	if v ~= nil then
    		if v.width ~= total_w or v.height ~= total_h then
    			ULX = v.x
    			ULY = v.y
    			SZX = v.width
    			SZY = v.height
    			local aspect = SZX/SZY
    			local offsetX = (ULX + SZX / 2 - total_w / 2) / total_w * total_aspect * 2
    			local offsetY = -(ULY + SZY / 2 - total_h / 2) / total_h * 2
    			local padding = math.min(total_aspect, aspect) * 0.2
    			compass_pos = { -math.min(total_aspect, aspect) + offsetX + padding, -1 + offsetY * 2 + padding}
    			weap_control_pos = { math.min(total_aspect, aspect) + offsetX - padding, -1 + offsetY * 2 + padding }
    			compass_size = compass_size * v.height / total_h
    			weap_control_size = weap_control_size * v.height / total_h
    		end
    	end
    	--end viewports stuff

     

     

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Yes it will break the Pure scripts required, like on hoggit. It basically edits the monitor setup and viewport export for you, but does it the same way as manually editing the files.  MP seems to still have the bug where even if you pass IC but then back out of a server, then your IC fails. Same hopping from SP then into multiplayer too(seemed to happen when pure scripts was implemented, might be liked somehow)….besides the point… Helios will pass a server with Pure clients, but not pure scripts unfortunately. Hoggit was always my go-to relaxing MP and since I started using helios and the pure scripts was added I can no longer play on hoggit.. but I find myself on grayflag or flashpoint the most these days. TTI or 4ya if I want to chill and relax on MP. Your monitor.lua looks right to me. It seems DCS doesn’t seem to play nice with all monitor setups. I’ve seen other posts similar to yours. It would be nice if ED someday would really up the support for exports, mullti-monitor, widescreens etc. fumbling through code to get a built in function to work hardly seems like anything the consumer should have to do l  

     

    Agreed.  Thanks for your help.  Hopefully one day I can switch to Helios as it does seem to be the better way to do what I am doing. 

    I guess I'll have to deal with the black screens.... but the George AI display not working is a real issue.

    Ever given Helios a shot? It wont solve the George ai deal ( all multi monitor users probably suffer from it and the kneeboard being huge and half off the screen) because of the added height from the mfd’s, but it may be a bit easier to handle the monitors. Plus you can add the controls on screen to your mfd’s too if you want. Join Captnzeen discord for any help and support, there’s no great manuals for it, but its easy to setup once you know how( myself or the current helios developer will gladly help you through setup) There is an Apache profile too by the helios dev,  so your mfd viewports and  controls etc will be drag and drop to wherever you like them. Just a thought. DCS likes to funky things when you have a monitor arrangement it doesn’t agree with 😂

    Does helios break pure script servers though?  I fly primarily MP so don't wanna do that if it's avoidable.  Hopefully ED eventually allows access as requested here:

     

  8. Greetings folks, I was hoping someone would be able to help with some questions I have. 

    My set up is my main monitor (set as primary in windows) and a left monitor are in my office, these are no longer used for DCS.  My TV and MFDs are part of my cockpit setup in another room.  Currently everything is working but the way I have it set up... my 2 office monitors have a black screen (since I am stretching DCS's display out).  Is there a way to set this up without having to do that?  Or without having to set my TV in the other room as a primary display?  I've attached a graphic showing my displays as well.

    Here is my currently monitor.lua file:
     

    _  = function(p) return p; end;
    name = _('Cockpit');
    Description = 'Sub Displays'
    Viewports =
    {
         Center =
         {
              x = 5360;
              y = 0;
              width = 2560;
              height = 1440;
              viewDx = 0;
              viewDy = 0;
              aspect = 2560/1440;
         }
    }
    
    LEFT_MFCD =
    {
         x = 5360;
         y = 1440;
         width = 525;
         height = 525;
    }
    
    RIGHT_MFCD =
    {
         x = 7395;
         y = 1440;
         width = 525;
         height = 525;
    }
    F14_JESTER_MENU =
    {
        x = 5360;
        y = 0;
        width = 2560;
        height = 1440;
    }
    
    GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center
    
    UIMainView = Viewports.Center

     

    I am also having issues with my current config getting George AI to show up in the Apache.  I've been following that thread 

    --viewports stuff	
    	local v = find_viewport("GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT", "CENTER")
    	if v ~= nil then
    		if v.width ~= total_w or v.height ~= total_h then
    			ULX = v.x
    			ULY = v.y
    			SZX = v.width
    			SZY = v.height
    			local aspect = SZX/SZY
    			local offsetX = (ULX + SZX / 2 - total_w / 2) / total_w * total_aspect * 2
    			local offsetY = -(ULY + SZY / 2 - total_h / 2) / total_h * 2
    			local padding = math.min(total_aspect, aspect) * 0.2
    			compass_pos = { -math.min(total_aspect, aspect) + offsetX + padding, -1 + offsetY * 2 + padding}
    			weap_control_pos = { math.min(total_aspect, aspect) + offsetX - padding, -1 + offsetY * 2 + padding }
    			compass_size = compass_size * v.height / total_h
    			weap_control_size = weap_control_size * v.height / total_h
    		end
    	end
    	--end viewports stuff

    How has this post been marked "correct as is" when in this post it is being investigated?

    Seems to be the same issue

     

    Yea, it feels like sometimes threads are marked "correct as is" without much thought, not saying that's what is actually done but it feels like it.   That thread you linked could possibly be related to this "issue" if it is actually even an issue,  hard to know.

    And before this thread was marked correct as is... was the team asked about it?  Was the f16 tested with the fuel door open after the FM changes?  So many questions...
