  1. @Devrim Firstly, thanks for this. Question, if I put this in the liveries folder in my saved games, the power panel on the right is still in Russian. Anyway to correct it, or should I just use ovgme to overwrite core files?
  2. One thing I miss from earlier versions is the ability to add further steerpoints after hitting the transfer button, in the later versions I have to discard the saved steerpoints to enter any new ones.
  3. Thanks, got it working, it was because Force feedback was set to on in the settings.
  4. I would at least try going back to single monitor configuration and seeing if the problem still exists, if you haven't done so already.
  5. Thanks, I downloaded the latest version of exports scripts and got it working. I had just added the Mi24 lua from the library before but must have needed the whole thing
  6. @AngryEchoSix There doesn't seem to be much wrong there. I have added the GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT, I added that to mine to centre the sights on combined arms, shouldn't hurt but not sure if it will fix your issue. I did test mine and don't seem to have that problem. I'll be honest and say I haven't done much testing with a monitor that is left of the main, you couldn't have it on the left when I did my setup so my second monitor is on the right. Camera + CubeSim_v2.1.lua
  7. I'm not aware of any way to automatically select a different config file per aircraft, but there may be a solution. I don't own the JF17 so you might have to a bit of testing. In your monitor config file where it says LEFT_MFCD = { x = 4490; y = 360; width = 825; height = 825; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2560; y = 360; width = 1720; height = 1080; } add this beneath it JF17_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 4490; y = 360; width = 825; height = 825; } JF17_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2560; y = 360; width = 1720; height = 1080; } adjust the values as you wish. It seems the files for the MFCDs are already setup to look for JF17_LEFT_MFCD and JF17_RIGHT_MFCD in the monitor config file and if it doesn't find them it defaults to LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD.
  8. Can you either attach your monitor config file, or copy and paste its contents into your post so I can take a look? And take a screenshot of your display setup from windows. My DCS splash screen appears on my second monitor too, as long as the game runs fine I'm ok with it
  9. EDIT - It has since been found that this "bug" may be due to the SSAA setting. Does the start screen fill the same space? What resolution are your monitors? In your monitor config file saved games\DCS\Config\Monitorsetup\ try replacing UIMainView = Viewports.Center with UIMainView = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; } but change the resolution of width and height to match your main monitor.
  10. Anybody still using this and managed to get it working for the Mi24 Hind? I mean all the gauges are the same more or less. There is a DCS-Export Script for the Mi24 and the gauges even seem to have most of the same IDs Basically I copied my Mi8 profile and renamed it Mi-24P, but Ikarus doesn't want to open it when I launch in a Hind and opening it manually it doesn't read the output from the export-script. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I can't find anything in the config files that specifically says read the Mi8 output
  11. Hello, Wondering if anyone has DCS-Bios working with the NS430? I seem to have modules working correctly, tried both Mi8 and Hind, but I can't get anything from the NS430, and inputs through the chrome extension don't seem to work. Any help appreciated, thanks
  12. Yes, sorry, I should have removed the kneeboard part from the screenshot as that method no longer seems to work. There is another method which I use, it requires a bit of editing of some lua files, it can be a bit of a pain to maintain during updates as it modifies the device_init.lua file of each aircraft (basically the file that describes all the devices in an aircraft, like radar etc). So even with a mod manager, you still have check nothing else has changed in the file after DCS updates, but this can made easier with a plugin for notepad++ called compare. This allows you to open the original game file, then the modified file, click compare and it shows you where all the differences in the files are. There is also another, probably easier method, using notepad++ which is described in the readme, and indeed the original post. So this isn't my mod, but I have packaged it up, it has a readme for instructions. It is ovgme ready. You will need to make some adjustments for your setup. Kneeboard.zip As for the IFLOLS, that does seem to save it's position IIRC, I think I only moved it once using the method I described in the guide. The original post for the kneeboard move can be found here, drop a like or thanks if its useful to you.
  13. The cdu screen can yeah. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/258735-how-to-export-displays-like-rwr-and-cmsp-set-up-guide-jan-2021/?tab=comments#comment-4807145 But if you want the whole unit with buttons, you will need helios.
  14. Haven't really gotten around the issue, just live with it for now. You can play around with the gain and contrast controls on the MFCD to make it a bit better. The map at night is the worst, so I just turn it off. Helios can replicate the analogue gauges to be placed on your second monitor. You can't do that from dcs alone. Only the digital displays can be exported from within DCS. It also does switches that can be controlled with a touchscreen or similar and it interfaces with DCS.
  15. There are two more position lights mounted either side of the nose, but the extra armour plating covers them.
  16. I havent tried it myself but it shouldn't be too difficult to try and see what the outcome is. I'm assuming you want your cockpit viewpoint to be shown on both screens. Also assuming they are the same physical size and resolution. If they aren't, you want to place the lower monitor centrally compared to the upper monitor Try the following: In windows, display settings, make sure your monitors are configured correctly, one above the other and centralised. In the settings menu leave it on 1 screen configuration. In the resolution setting, scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. You should find an odd resolution that is the sum of your two monitors combined. Select that and restart. Eg. two 1080p monitors should make 1920x2160 available to select. The menu screen will probably fill both monitors at this point, but this can be sorted later, just see if you like the cockpit view, as it will be mostly a flat view looking forward just with more of instrument panel displayed. Your head position may not be in the ideal place, but this can be sorted later with snap-views. See how that goes, come back and report on your findings. Then: If you post a screenshot of your display settings from windows, explain what resolution your monitors are, and how you have them setup, I'll try and write a monitor config setup file for you.
  17. This would be great if only to set up near a blufor sam site or airfield for protection. Before the latest update, the Nasams were doing a great job of providing protection against incoming anti-radar missiles and glide bombs. After the patch (2.7.7.14727) the Nasams aren't really hitting any incoming weapons. Whilst I appreciate the new missile characteristics are probably still wip, I've found myself doing a lot of Sam site repairs in MP, like before Nasam was introduced. I think this would be a great addition. +1
  18. I wouldn't be very hopeful of being able to do that with the standard luas. However I do something similar with "DCS Ikarus" It is a program that replicates analogue gauges. You create a setup for each aircraft, and it automatically loads the one depending on your selected aircraft. You could make a background image to do what you're after. Unfortunately I don't think it's supported any more so many of the newer aircraft don't have files for them. However part 2, there's a program called Helios which is still supported and does more or less the same thing, many people use it for their home cockpits so there's plenty of people to ask for help. I've tried getting into it a couple of times, albeit half heartedly. Never managed to get it set up like my ikarus profile. Seems Ikarus does some aircraft and helios does some of the others. Might be a place to start.
  19. Thanks, it was FFB turned on Had to start with a new saved games folder to fix another issue, and didn't realise FFB default is on.
  20. Just fired up the Mossie to have a look at the new gun splash effect, very nice. But my aileron trim was having effect no the aircraft, the keybind works the trim wheel, just doesn't change the tendency to roll to the left. Anyone else? Track attached edit: It's even as if right aileron trim is giving a pitch nose trim down effect. trim.trk
  21. Seems to have done the trick, thanks, though I'd love to know what file may have caused this.
  22. NASAMS. Increased reload time to 7 min per missile. Seems a bit excessive no?
  23. @Flappie Thanks for getting back to me, tried the single monitor config at 2560*1440, for me the cursor is still not centred cursor2.trk dcs.log
