Regarding the displays in the background, isn't that works as designed? The Ikarus gfx needs to have transparent holes in it in order to have exported displays visible. If there isn't anything exported you would see the windows desktop wallpaper instead. I believe this is a matter of aligning the exported view to the Ikarus profile. But a screenshot would help...

This one fits the surprise part. And it would equalize the blue side bias on the multiplayer servers ;)

This thread has taken way to much amount of time from my work this week, so regardless how fun it is to read it must stop now. Surprisingly no one has seen the obvious connection between M3 and Heatblur :music_whistling:

I'm 44 and have been a digital pilot since the Microprose Gunship days on the C64, but that was more about waiting for the tape load than actually flying. With the Amiga 500 and Fighter Bomber that changed for the better :)

That would be awesome. I have the seeker from an old VHS camcorder for just that purpose :)

Why not satisfy both plane and helo pilots - give us the Osprey :) Some weeks ago I had the opportunity to see them flying very low over my house at several occasions during the big Aurora 17 excersize in Sweden. Mighty birds indeed.

I have done that without any issues when flying the MIG-21 previously. Since then I have bought a new PC bu didn't install DCS-Bios yet since I only fly the Viggen for the moment, so can't tell if something has changed with the current versions. Can't remeber exactly how the export script was configured, but I believe it was pretty simple to get it running properly.

Great news. Thanks for your efforts!

Any updates regarding this? I would be happy to assist as a BETA tester or something.

Sorry it didn't help. I had it working before but as stated above, it was a long time ago, and things might have changed in both DCS and DCS-Bios since then. If I get the time I will try again and see if I can get it working properly.

Yes, and also in Ikarus in the beginning before corrected in an update. Not sure how Capt Zeen has handled this in the Helios profile.

I updated the my original thread with the solution.

So, here is the solution. Disclaimer - I have not used this script for a long time, so there is no guarantee that it is still working in the current versions of DCS-Bios or DCS World. First, edit the DCS-Bios "Util.lua" file with the following additions and/or changes in red: function BIOS.util.defineIndicatorLight(msg, arg_number, category, description, negate) --change --moduleBeingDefined.highFrequencyMap[msg] = function(dev0) return string.format("%.0f", dev0:get_argument_value(arg_number)) end local value = moduleBeingDefined.memoryMap:allocateInt { maxValue = 1 } assert(value.shiftBy ~= nil) moduleBeingDefined.exportHooks[#moduleBeingDefined.exportHooks+1] = function(dev0) negate = negate or false --new if negate == false then --new if dev0:get_argument_value(arg_number) < 0.5 then value:setValue(0) else value:setValue(1) end else --new if dev0:get_argument_value(arg_number) > 0.5 then --new value:setValue(0) --new else --new value:setValue(1) --new end --new end --new end --new document { identifier = msg, category = category, description = description, control_type = "led", inputs = {}, outputs = { { ["type"] = "integer", suffix = "", address = value.address, mask = value.mask, shift_by = value.shiftBy, max_value = 1, description = "0 if light is off, 1 if light is on" } } } end You also need to do some changes in the "Mig21.lua" file: defineIndicatorLight("GEAR_NOSE_UP", 9, "Landing Gear Control", "Nose Gear Up Light", true) defineIndicatorLight("GEAR_LEFT_UP", 10, "Landing Gear Control", "Gear Left Up Light", true) defineIndicatorLight("GEAR_RIGHT_UP", 11, "Landing Gear Control", "Gear Right Up Light", true)

I have a fix for the inverted landing gear lights, somewhere. It was originally made by the Ikarus people for their application, but if I recall it correct I managed to get it into DCS-Bios as well. Need to go through some old posts... Found the thread, not the solution: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159671 There is a script that needs to be updated with some code to invert the inverted signals. Since the Viggen module was released I haven't been playing the MIG-21 and the panels with indicators has been disconnected as well. I do have the code somewhere and I can dig for it if you need it.

Exporting the viewports for MFD's etc isn't handled in Ikarus - for that you need to do some changes in the lua scripts, or use an application like UltraMFCD.

I had this picture for many years, and it would be really fun to do it in DCS :)

No need for apologies Ian. Everything you do, whenever you do it, is very much appreciated.

Awesome :thumbup: Now I want to buy the Nevada map just to fly this livery :joystick:

Can't help with the question you have, but further on I would be happy to assist when it comes to (bug)test and evaluation. I planned to do this also, but with two small kids and a ongoing pinball restoration the available spare time for this is zero ;) I do appreciate that you started this process.

Is the Viggen profile released?

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing, and please submit a video when your setup is running :)

Any information about when to expect support for the Viggen module? :)

Snyggt! Please create a separate thread about Viggen panels :)

When it comes to the switch guards there is a great product that can be used - the arcade coin switch. It has a small lever that can be modified and it only requires a very small ammount of force.

Sweet, I really appreciate your hard work guys! :thumbup:
