Excellent news and thanks for the pic! :thumbup:

I too have just jumped onto the triplehead2go bandwagon ( FC 1.12 ), and I must say...WOW. I'm running it with touchbuddy,tarckir and virtual panel. Looks amazing. Really pleased that ED are going to fully support it for BS. Wags, you say that you are working on solving the fov issue,does that mean for FC as well or just BS? Thanks. Finally, as I don't post much, ( but read the boards a lot! ) I would just like to say a great big thanks to ggg87 and Joe for their excellent work. Without you guys I would have been completely lost:thumbup:

Hi TOMCATZ, firstly I'd just like to say what a great looking addon you guys are doing, keep up the good work! When you release ( soon I hope ) will it just be in German Luftwaffe livery? I ask as I would love to get an RAF version. If your not planning this I could have a go at it, with your permission. However I should say I have never done any skinning before and it would be a very steep learning curve for me no doubt. I do however have a fair bit of time on my hands presently as I'm off work following a small op on my wrist so would like to keep my self occupied! :joystick:

Good to hear. Quick question for Mnemonic.... are you still working on the photo realistic instruments ? the one you posted looked stunning! cheers

Hi Mistral, no probs for helping. I was in the same boat as you, and I know how frustrating it is. On what you've done, not sure if your doing the config bit right. In your lockon/config/export dir you should have two files the export.lua and the config.lua. Both these should have been copied across from the VP download, overwriting your existing ones. ( Backup your originals ). The only extra file I have in there now is the touch buddy one ( touchbuddy-exort.lua ). Good luck.

Hi Mistral If your only using the one computer + second screen you wont have to do any of the editing of the export.lua. Before trying my second computer running vp, I did try running vp on my main computer and dragging vp across to the second screen (laptop). This worked fine, but I remember sometimes getting the error messages. I think I re copied the export.lua back into the game directory. then started vp, then dragged it across to the second monitor, then started lockon. good luck. I've found flying with VP much easier than the old way, even though I use trackir as well. Having the quick reference vp gives is a real bonus.

Hi Mistral I had exactly the same thing happen to me. I'm now trying to remember what I did to get round it....:doh: Firstly, you say about it not being useful in Lomac because of the touch button function not being in, well thats were touch buddy comes in. If you have a touch screen you can have controls setup on your touch screen. It works brilliant! With your setup, are you using a separate monitor for virtual panel? If you are, have you changed the "localhost" ip to your Lan one? ( see my post above for how not to do it !!!! ). This is how I've done it Main comp runs lockon. Laptop runs touch body and virtual panel. touch screen runs off laptop. copied the two export files onto main comp into lockon/config/export folder. Opened export.lua in wordpad changed local host as below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dofile "lua.lua" socket = require("socket") host = host or "192.168.0.2" port = port or 8080 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (192.168.0.2 is my laptop IP.) saved it, then made sure the config.lua had this... ----------------------------------- EnableExportScript = true ----------------------------------- I then run virtual panel on my laptop, then fire up lockon, on the virtual panel display you should see "disconnected" upper left of screen. When you go into a mission that changes to connected, when you are actually in the plane. That should be it, I haven't explained touch buddy ( for another day maybe ). With regard to the error boxes, if they still happen try deleting the files and re copy them onto your second computer. Hope this helps, and nice background btw :thumbup:

hmmmm, yeah I'd looked at the ini file but couldn't see anything obvious. Though the author did mention it's possible. Oh well, I'm happy for the moment.

JaBoG32_Pjotr Thanks for the help, I have tried that, so I'm stumped. I think it may be to do with my router, though have opened 8080, and even tried with all ports open. Restarted Router. Still no joy. EDIT - Ha, I'm soooooo dumb, I'd left out the quote marks on the localhost bit. Thanks again mate, seeing yours finally made the penny drop. Now I'm on a roll do you know how to change the background on the panel?

Hi JaBoG32_Laud, thanks for helping. Ok, this is what I've done. My gaming IP is 192.168.0.136. The machine running VP is 192.168.0.2. Both local Ip's I've tried using both ip's in the export.lua. ie host = host or 192.168.0.2 host = host or 192.168.0.136. But neither get a "connect" I've simply replaced the original... host = host or "localhost" with that local IP, is this correct? I also opened my 8080 port. No joy.

Bump...anybody???...Bueller....Anybody ???

I do hope people are still reading this thread, cos I need some help too! First off, absolutely fantastic work by both Mnemonic and Zorlac, Gentlemen I salute you ! Now the problem. Unlike nobrot (great name ) I have installed vp onto my main computer and it runs fine, but I'm just plain confused with what I need to do to get it running on my second ( laptop ). I don't understand the readme that talks about... I thought it might mean change "localhost" to my main comp's IP ( which is running FC ) but when I try and launch VP it goes crazy with loads of red illegal operation boxes coming up. Could someone please explain what is needed to get this running? Many thanks. Oh, and while asking loads of questions.... how do you put a custom background on?

Well to anyone interested.... Received my new activation code yesterday. Thank you ED !

Well the site is up, I've sent an e-mail ( yesterday ) and still awaiting a response...here's hoping! :doh:

Hi GS, yep, I've now bought 2 copies of FC over the past few years, and I'm not prepared to pay again for something I legally own but can not play just because I've upgraded my computer. It's VERY frustrating ! :mad:

Hi I am trying to get LOMAC FC running on my new system. I have tried the registry save, but starforce is coming up with error. please contact me on jez@brown722.ndo.co.uk
