I don't know whether it is my age, eyes or just my old monitor, but I have a hard time seeing the speed and altitude on the HUD, even with your HUD mod. I tried to follow your directions, but I cannot seem to get it all black like I want it. If you have a chance, I would appreciate if you could modify your HUD to make it all black.
Thanks

Reflected
Working on learning the F14 with the Take Flight group on Discord. I was wondering if there is an order to follow in playing your 3 F14 campaigns?

Has anyone gotten the viewports to work in the F14-A models when using the F14 Helios profile?

I have tried to slow down the slewing of the cursor in the TGP by adjusting the different values in the DCS controls, but it is still too fast for me. Is there any way to slow down the cursor in one of the F16 lua files (i could not locate any such files)?

Could you send a pic of your rudder curse or did you do a custom one?

I would like the Moving Map to always be on top of whatever I am viewing in either my game monitor or my second monitor that is running a Helios profile. Is there any method to do that?

Bergison or anyone else
My mistake but now the map opens up in full screen on my game monitor and I cannot figure out how to get it back to a smaller size. Any thoughts?
I looked in the init file but no changes worked. I deleted the files for MM, rebooted and reinstalled MM but it still was full screen.
SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I ADDED -windowed IN THE COMMAND LINE SHORTCUT AND NOW IT OPENS IN WINDOWED MODE. YEAH.

On page 160 of Chuck's guide, it states:
Communications UHF/VHF Transmit Switch (4-Way)
• AFT: transmits on UHF radio
• FWD: transmits on VHF radio
• RIGHT (INBOARD) SHORT: Filters datalink information on Fire
Control Radar (FCR) display
• LEFT (OUTBOARD) SHORT: Toggles datalink tracks on and ofAre there any Hotas keys for the two datalink commands listed above?

Problem one solved per above and the options in the game.
Now, what about issue 2?
-
I am running 2 screens with screen 1 the game and screen 2 running a Helios profile.
First question--- no matter what I do, Jester only appears on my second screen (behind the Helios profile) and not screen 1. Can I change the location of the Jester Wheel and if so, where is the file to do so?
Second question--In the lessons, the lesson outline appears in the upper left of my screen 1. Is there a way to change it's location?
-
I use my stream deck for generic buttons on all of my DCS planes (such as the kneeboard commands). However, it appears for some reason that in the F4 module, the plane does not respond to pause or active pause regular key commands. Is this a bug?

I unintentionally misled you when I stated that the recent DCS update killed your mod. I now realize that I was using a mod that, with the help of Helios, made the cockpit look like a block III cockpit with significantly different looking MFDs and that mod interfered with your mod. All I really wanted in the block III mod was to change the HUD color which I did in the materials.lua file of the game (not your materials.lua file). There does appear to be some differences between the game file and your materials file so that is why I used the game materials file for the color change. Your mod still works with the regular F18.
PS. By using a mod manager, I know have 4 color options for the HUD. Gold, dark green, black and if no mod, the standard green.

After today's DCS update, when I started on the runway with your Mod installed, no cockpit appeared, I uninstalled your Mod, and the cockpit came back. Maybe there is a new conflict with the updated DCS and your Mod.

I have tried to make the HUD numbers darker but cannot seem to find the right line in materials.lua in your mod. Could you please direct me to the appropriate line? For test purposes, if you want to do HUD numbers in Black, that would be great.
Here are my failed attempts:
local MDG_materials = {}
--MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {0, 153, 76, 550} --DONE BY SHK DARK GREEN
--MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {51, 0, 0, 550} --DONE BY SHK BLACK
--MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {255, 128, 0, 550} --DONE BY SHK GOLD BROWN
MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {2, 255, 20, 550} --DONE BY MOD MAKER -

Please explain: When I added the LUA line directly into the files in the game folder structure. Exactly where did you put it?

When I try to do a cold start, the right warning light lights up and says "GEN TIE". According to Chuck's guide, this means the Gen Tie switch is set to RESET. What is the cure? Is this the reason that my alignment does not start?
-
I recall that there is a method to cause the MFDs in the game to not display as I have the displays in the Heilios F18 profile on my second monitor. This will save some FPS. Does anyone recall how to do this?

Never would have thought of that. Thanks.

On a F18 startup checklist that I am using, in the middle of the checklist list is the line:
ET PRESS
What is this referring to?

I seem to recall in years past there was a method to make the text dialog in training missions larger, but of course, I can no longer locate it. Does any one recall how to do it?

I was able to find the book in the Oregon state library system and read it.

Your suggestion as to how to make the HUD black worked perfectly. However, using your method, I ended up making the HUD a nice bright yellow.
