Exported all my A-10C displays in DCS World - mostly

Pilots,

In DCS World, I have all my displays exported with the exception of two, the CMSC and CICU. This may be a coordinate problem.

I did the same thing I did for the standalone version of A-10C. Here are some examples:

I am running 4 screens at 6960x1050. The first three screen are connected to a Matrox TH2G at 5040x1050. The forth screen is running my HELIOS profile utilizing a touch screen.

My Monitor Export File.

The CDU init file, the addition is in red, the export display name is in orange:

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL}

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

dofile(LockOn_Options.script_path.."CDU/indicator/CDU_pages.lua")

init_pageID = id_CDU_Pages.CDU_PAGE_OFF

CDU_preinit_files_path = LockOn_Options.script_path.."CDU/Indicator/Preinit/"

page_subsets = {}

dofile(LockOn_Options.script_path.."CDU/indicator/CDU_subsets_init.lua")

----------------------

pages = {}

pages_by_mode = {}

clear_mode_table(pages_by_mode, 10, 10, 29)

function get_page_by_mode(master, L2, L3, L4)

return get_page_by_mode_global(pages_by_mode,init_pageID,master,L2,L3,L4)

end

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

used_render_mask = "interleave.bmp"

****The display name you enter in the init.lua file must match your monitor config file.****

I have added the lines in red and named them accordingly to the following files located in the Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit folder.

Example:

AN_ALR69V\indicator\AN_ALR69V_init.lua (This is the RWR)

Rather than enter all the file names I will just give the folder names and by now you should be able to find them. :thumbup:

CDU

CMSC

CMSP

DigitalClock

UHF_Radio

I hope this helps some. Once I figure out the ECM displays I will update.

BACK UP ANY FILES YOU MESS WITH :doh:

This should be added/replaced for CMSC and CMSP:

No need to do all edits manually again and again....:

enabling Cockpit Exports in DCS-A10

ReadMe:

Everything is already preconfigured for the A-10C.

Works the same for DCS:World 1.1.2.1 if you change the destination file-path to "Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\"

bump. I've finally got around to dl'ing DCS World and trying to setup Helios with the A-10. I've got the gauges working, but other than the MFCD's I can't get any of the other displays to export properly. Even with PeterP's scripts and running his example.lua none of the displays are exporting.

Doublecheck the the DCS Version you are running (I hope it is 1.2.0) and than use this link:

Here is all you need to know for a successful...

So I tried the one with the MFCD's on in the cockpit and it worked flawlessly. For some reason when I used the preset with the MFCD's off it didn't work.

No worries I'll just manually turn them off.

Thanks a bunch for the presets
