Could there be separate keys for every uMFCD size? I don't need smaller one at all so this would help to switch between large and middle size..

Of course. This requires that I redesign the settings UI to make space for all the new stuff, but under the covers this type of binding is already supported.

 

Edit for clarity: The UI is already scheduled for a redesign, so will support this when that's complete.

hi, copy....In the future the UMFCD will work in LAN with another PC?

thanks

Dan

 

Hi Dan,

 

Hope the fullscreen switch sorted the problem. :)

 

Yes, uMFCD will definitely support networking in the future. We experimented with such functionality as early as June last year, and it worked rather nicely. Another case of: Watch this space.

Hey folks,

 

I'm going to add a section to the website concerning multi-monitor setups, windowed mode etc. Given that I'm a relatively dull two-screen chap, I wondered if those of you with more esoteric setups could send me a screenie of the Windows display settings? Would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

P.S. If you're wondering why the developer only has two screens... It has everything to do with the ideal placement of studio monitors while making music. :)

 

P.P.S Since we're all essentially nerds, I thought I'd share that apart from the TM HOTAS, this is the coolest toy I own.

Good News!

 

(No, it is not the Dacia Sandero)

 

uMFCD now works properly with the reference Helios Export.lua provided earlier in this thread (sorry, I forget who). Just for purposes of verification, I've re-attached here to make sure we're all on the same proverbial page.

 

The patched release will be out very shortly.

UltraMFCD appears to work fine with Helios

 

I have been testing the latest version of Ultra with Loz's Helios profile and so far so good.

 

It should be noted that with Enable MFCD input checked and Disable cockpit MFCDs not checked, the MFCDs appear in the cockpit and in Ultra but not in the Helios profile. The same also applies if both are unchecked. However, you can just move the MFCDs into the Helios profile, and expand them when you want to. If both are checked, nothing appears. It was late when I was doing this so I could have made some errors.

 

I have not yet tested the effect on the FPS.

This behaviour is due to the fact that uMFCD needs to completely override anything you previously had set for the exports in order to render them at the maximum possible quality. Once you've moved them back to where you need them, the system will remember those positions.

 

It's also worth noting that Helios users aren't /really/ the target audience, but supported nonetheless. :)

 

Edit: It's also worth noting that uMFCD isn't "a slightly revised" Easy Monitor Configurator. It takes complete control over how/when/where the MFCDs render at the DirectX level, which is what enables the ability to move them in real time, along with a whole load of interesting things in the future, such as rendering of different machines etc.

I acknowledge that uMFCD was not really designed for the Helios crowd and I appreciate your extra effort in having it run with Helios.

I intend to buy a license from you for two reasons. First, I like the program and may use it on the A10 with Helios from time to time. Second, and more important, I want to support your continued development on other DCS aircraft that do not have Helios profiles that are ready made. Helios profiles require a lot of knowledge and work, neither of them do I posses. Good Luck.

The zero button on the CDU get stuck and keeps spamming zeroes until another button is pressed.

 

EDIT: Wait... it might not be the mods fault. Whats going on here! ;)

 

We've had quite a few of these reports recently. There was some issue with the LSS key of the TGP getting stuck, too - again suspected not to be uMFCD.

 

I will investigate, of course. :)
