  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. There are two more position lights mounted either side of the nose, but the extra armour plating covers them.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. Seems to have done the trick, thanks, though I'd love to know what file may have caused this.
  11. NASAMS. Increased reload time to 7 min per missile. Seems a bit excessive no?
  12. @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
  13. Only thing I can think of is playing with a user curve for the axis. You could set the centre position to be nozzles full back, and mini stick down end point for nozzles fully forward but, but you would only have half of the axis travel for the full nozzle travel. I think this would be very difficult to hold any in-between position. I use my left throttle for nozzles, and right for engine, not the right way round sure, but it works for me.
  14. The Bios manual for your board can be found here https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/13MANUAL/PRIME_PRO_TUF_GAMING_Intel_500_Series_BIOS_EM_WEB_EN.pdf You should be able to enable XMP memory profile by going to this page, I believe it's in the Ai Overclock tuner, as the information says at the bottom of the page, XMP1 loads the memory timings from the data stored on the memory itself but lets the motherboard choose some settings, and XMP2 loads all the info from the memory module. I don't mean to insult your intelligence at all, you haven't really disclosed how familiar you are with playing with these settings. If you have a good cooler on your CPU you could also try setting the ASUS Multicore Enhancement to enabled see page 15 of the manual.
  15. It kind if depends on what benchmark you were using. If it's a graphics benchmark then they are pretty much designed to test the GFX card, so you won't see much difference if you don't change your graphics card. I'd highly recommend digging into the Bios for your new mobo though. Think you will probably have to select XMP.2 to get the absolute best out of your new Ram. Definitely have a look to make sure Intel Speed boost is enabled. We might need more info, board type etc, or some pics of current settings to be of more help.
  16. Guess I'll try that but I can't think why it would open in a different position to all the other aircraft. Which is bottom right of my resolution. Where does it open for you if I may ask? I do have some undisplayed screenspace to th top right.
  17. Yes, worked for every other aircraft I tried, F15C, SU25 (FC3), Mi8, etc, just not the 25T. If it's working for everyone else then I guess I'll have to have a play.
  18. Yep, definitely ticked, also tried unticking restarting and ticking again, still can't get it to open in the 25T. I do run multiple monitors but for all other aircraft it opens on my screen for my MFCDs and then I drag it. Thanks tagomago, also helpful to know it is working for someone else. Weird.
  19. Can't seem to open the pop-up window in the SU25T, though it works in the SU25. Anyone else?
  20. +1, wasn't like this before, I quite successfully carried out lofting attacks
  21. I believe somebody has done it, try here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3318493/
  22. That was awesome!
