Got a new SSD. I "cut" then "pasted" DCS from my HDD to my new SSD. I sometimes run IHOPIworks Device Server. Screen Exporter Every MFCD in the game is now blank. A10cii, Ka50, Harrier (with export app not running or not) Im Constantly losing my Game Settings. (Once a day i have to change Audio levels/Music off, change cockpits to english, turn on rudder trim in Special, driving me nuts) The Export App, starts then disappears. I cant run it, even if i wanted to. I deleted, SCRIPTS folder in the Users/SavedGames I ran repair a couple days ago, no change. This morning, DCS is crashing just trying to boot fast-game to take screenshots I pay for data.. so id rather not re-download 200 gigs. I spend more time trying to fix DCS than playing it.

Hello F/A-18 pilots and LUA programmers, Using the provided display preset to export the left and right DDI's on the same monitor. I can use those because of my ultrawide. The DDI's are not readable without a background. i managed to add a mesh to the DDI's but i cant get them to be fully opaque. This is the code used in MPD_BASE.lua. the colour of the material is for debug purposes. The goal is to get the yellow square to be fully opaque so i can make it black and use it as the background. Thanks for the help in advanced, NCC1701JR MPD_base.lua

Hello all, this post was made on request from Alpha Juliet on the Razbam discord, I'll try to encompass everything I can to make this a good bug report. Thanks for the hard work Razbam! TL;DR The main 2 issues are that in the "HUD only view"(HOV, LAlt + F1) some MPCD pages are semi-transparent, with the second issue being the ODU, cipher/encrypted radios, and the main UFC displays including the 2 main radios. This happens in regardless of mission start parameters(Cold, hot, tracks even). This video shows the main problems and is the best visual representation I could make. I will go into more detail into both of these in two separate sections. Transparency Issue The first thing I noticed was that some pages are either fully transparent(EW page), semi-transparent(FLIR, EHSD), or opaque like they should be(TPOD). The fully transparent pages include the EW page, CAS page, STRS page, ENG page, CONF page, and the COMM page, and of course the menu/emer menu. A special page that sort of fits here is the HUD repeater page, which shows nothing when in HOV(probably because theres already the HUD in the view. All of these pages have the green lettering, text, symbols, etc but have completely transparent backgrounds that show the terrain/water in front of the aircraft. The semi-transparent pages include the FLIR page, the EHSD page, and the DMT. These have semi-transparent backgrounds in which the terrain/water makes viewing the video or in the case of the EHSD the moving map nearly impossible to read. Much like the fully transparent pages however, all of the text on these pages are fully readable and opaque. The fully opaque pages include solely the TPOD page. This is where the TPOD video can be seen clearly and fully blocks the background. This is how I think all of the pages should be in this mode, and I have no problems with it. If anything, it's the best page to have working ;D This video was from a track that I recorded and cropped and it highlights the issues with the EHSD primarily. The TPOD footage looks decent(it being opaque and all) but the EHSD moving map is unreadable. Overlay Issue There are 5 main sub-screens that get overlayed on the right MFCD in HOV. First of note being the two cipher/encrypted radio displays, the ODU, UFC, and the two main radio screens. The main cipher radio screen gets put above the right MPCD, so it's ok. But the second cipher screen is in the bottom left of the right MPCD, so it's not very cool. The next one I noticed was the two main radio LCDs were overlayed at the bottom, left radio in the bottom left and the right radio in the bottom right. The little "M"s were overlayed below the cipher text. The ODU gets the cheese for the worst offender(when it's active). It is nearly smack dab in the middle of the right MFCD with the bottom two buttons being overlayed below the cipher as well as intersecting with the two radio "M"s. Finally, the UFC screen is put near the top of the MFCD, an ok amount above the ODU. I haven't seen any other jet overlay their screens like this, even in something like the A-10CII. You would think they would include a third screen for the CDU in between the left and right MFDs but they just don't include it, so maybe just removing the ODU, ICP, Radios, and cipher is the play here. But hey I'm not the devs, you guys do whatcha want Summary While this isn't game breaking or disastrous to the world of Harrier pilots, I do think it's a shame as this is the easiest way to get a quick tape of you shacking some bad guys. The alternative, exporting the screens to another display is slightly more complicated and has it's own issues that have been well reported. Thanks a bunch Razbam and especially Alpha Juliet, love the community you guys are growing! V/r, Mordant

After coming back from a small hiatus, I noticed that my HMCS screen isn't centered on my main screen anymore and that the horizon line in the HMCS isn't static anymore as well. When I roll my head left or right with my TrackIR, the horizon line and any other HMCS symbology move around, making it almost impossible to use. This is all being used with a custom monitor lua that I set up to have my lt and rt MFCDs on my second screen to the left. When I go back to just using one screen and it's native resolution, the HMCS works as advertised though. My native resolution is 1920x1080, and as said before, HMCS works as advertised at that resolution. My custom monitor lua that includes the MFCDs on the secondary screen, the resolution is 2480x1080. I have attached pictures as a reference as well, those with the MFCDs on the right is my custom lua showing the horizon line moving up and down "floating" along with the SPI as I roll my head. The others that don't have the MFCDs on the right are native resolution and showing that the horizon line doesn't move while rolling my head. Would anyone have any idea on how to get the HMCS to stay static while also keeping my custom lua? Thank you in advance for any and all help.
