I just want to verify that in the Keyboard column of the game there are no key commands for the UFC/DEP ? Do I make my own?

I am using the new bindings that were prepared by user. I now have one button for start, another for off and a third for on. All is well now. Rudel_chw My WH Hotas layout is very similar to your chart. However, I have a second screen and was able to put the 2 MFDs on the second screen and then coded the buttons on my Cougar MFDs to correspond with the 2 mfds and my third Cougar MFD I used for the UFC.

AndyJWest Thank you very much. My error only cost me about 1/2 day of frustration. I never noticed that it did not go back to the on position.

I believe that I am following the correct startup procedure, but I cannot get the HYD button to reset the hydraulics warning and the right MFD and HUD do not go on. It seems that this may be related to the generator switch. I set it to go to reset and then on. I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

Rudel I put it in the middle when I go thru the checklist.

Rudel The generator switch seems to have 3 positions-off, on and reset. Mine is clearly on the middle position-on. Perhaps I have to download and reinstall.

Three issues on a cold start In doing a cold start, I cannot get the Right MFD to turn on. In a hot start, it is fine. In a cold start, I cannot get the HUD to show up, again in a hot start, it is fine. Last, in a cold start when I press the HYD2 button (number 9 in the startup diagram), the HYD warnings in red do not go away. Is anyone else having any of these issues on a cold start?

Baldawg I noticed that some of your special commands that are toggles are giving me some issues. I am using the buttons on a spare MFD panel and for example, the Anti-skid goes on when I press the button but goes off when I release it. Is that correct?

Baldawg You did a fantastic job. I implanted many of your special commands and all of your data entry commands. Unfortunately, without key commands for the data entry I could not do it using Helios so I used my spare MFD for it. Have you ever used Helios?

FZG_Immel Now if I can only figure out how to get the UFC to work in Helios. Right now I don't believe that is possible as there are no key commands and using the generic interface is to complicated.

FZG_Immel I gave up trying to find my typos so I just copied your viewport and init.lua changes and it works. As for the MFD buttons, I had assigned the right mfd to my 3rd Cougar MFD. Perhaps that was the error so I changed it to Cougar MFD #2 and now everything works. That is the joy of DCS. Trying to unravel mysteries. Just when you think you know everything, something crazy happens.

FZG_Immel I assume that you got both MFDs to display on your second screen. I will try again later. Perhaps I have just made a typo somewhere. Do you have Cougar MFDs and if so did you try to program the buttons to work in game? Again I could not get that to work.

I am trying to run the plane with two screens with the second screen displaying the 2 MFDs and I have two questions. The right MFDR displays on my second screen but the left MFDL will not do so. I use the following command in the MFDL init.lua file dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("VANO_45T_LEFT_MFCD") Is this my error? Second, while I programmed the MFD buttons in the game controls to match the buttons on my TM Cougar MFDs, my TM Cougar MFD buttons do not change the in game display. However, both the in game display and the display on my second screen do change if I click on a button on the game MFD. Is that the current status?

Steff Bourne Great answer-thanks. Now I just have to figure out how to work the lantirn and how to integrate it with my Helios profile.

First, is the lantirn mod still usable for the openbeta version? If so, I would like to be able to use my WH joystick for both the regular pilot commands (regular and shift functions) and by the use of switches, also enable Lantirn commands. I have never used switches before so is this a viable idea?

I have two weird issues. First, I cannot seem to engage the parking brake. When I right mouse click it twice, it just goes back and forth and does not turn. Second, for some reason I cannot figure out, my plane will not move. The parking brake light is not on and I have deleted the wheel brake axis on my toe brakes and put the wheel brake button on my joystick. No matter what I do, the plane will not move. Perhaps this is related to the parking brake issue?

I would like some information on upgrading my CH rudder pedals please.

Sokol1_br Do you have the location for the upgrade from Rel4y?

I noticed the stuff even though I use the clear glass mod (along with the English cockpit mod). How did you get rid of it in single player?

Has anyone been able to display the navigation panel in the SU-25 and/or the weapons panel for the SU-25T or SU-25?

Two quick questions: what is the arrow that appears in the upper right corner of the HUD? what is the line that goes out of the circle in the HUD in A/A and A/G?

I am attaching V2 of my Helios profile for this plane. all buttons, etc that are shown on picture 1 are fully clickable except for some items that the developers have not yet provided key commands for. I have included them just for show. In using Helios, I used the simpler method of using keyboard emulation rather than the more complex coding of each button, etc. Some of the toggle switches proved to be difficult to implement so I changed them to buttons and that worked fine. You will notice a MAP button next to button 28 on the right MFD. This button when pressed, will produce a static kneeboard that is separate from the regular kneeboard. Picture 2 is the main page of the Map button and lists the various theater maps available. Picture 3 (IN THE NEXT POST) is an example using one of the map buttons and lists the airfields for which a diagram is available. This kneeboard was developed by Cap Zeen for the Helios profiles that he develops but can be used by any Helios profile. PICTURE 3

Where is the lua file that I can change the color of the HUD and make it darker?

I have tried the navigation training mission twice and both times I could not make a new waypoint 7. The waypoints would go to 6 and not beyond. Is this me or the mission?

It still seems to work as of today for the A=29B mod. Thanks
