fenmonster Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 G00dnight and fenmonster, I've made some subtle alterations to the dragging code. Could one or both of you check build 1.0.0.50 (https://ultramfcd.com/Downloads/UltraMFCD.Beta.1.0.0.50.zip - ignore the "new version available" message) to see whether the windows remain at the proper size while dragging, please? Many thanks, Baker I downloaded and did a quick check... Working Great! If it still helps, My lower monitor is in use during normal operations. I have some files/ folders etc on it I use. Thank you Sgt_Baker and to everyone else as well. Now I have to go to work. Fenmonster
watar Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 In that case it really should be running properly. Thank you for taking the time to re-download DCS. Beta testers, such as yourself, who go the extra mile to try to figure out problems really do solve issues for the large proportion of users who are "silent". If running uMFCD against a virgin install doesn't work, might I contact you via PM so I can issue you with some builds which have much more verbose diagnostic output? If it does work, I believe the DCS installer will save any modified files in a backup folder, the examination of which should point us in the direction of where things might be going awry. Best regards, Baker You're more than welcome to PM me. I'll get back to you after download/install is ready [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

i3dman Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Bravo Everyone!! It is working great!!. If you guys can only get ahead of the curve and get everything with the F15 working with helios you'd be GODS!!

If you guys can only get ahead of the curve and get everything with the F15 working with helios you'd be GODS!! :) Free plague of locusts with every install? We're already working on it. F-15C is a bit different to other aircraft, so requires a slightly different approach. A lot of the "under the covers" stuff that is in recent updates is geared towards the implementation of support for F-15C, Su-27 etc without breaking the code associated with the A-10C and KA-50. You've all been testing it without knowing! :D Another case of watch this space. Edited February 24, 2015 by Sgt_Baker UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
G00dnight Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I confirm that this one works I still have trouble dragging but now it's in place it works. oh and confirm KA50 works aswell Edited February 24, 2015 by G00dnight AMD A8-5600K @ 4GHz, Radeon 7970 6Gig, 16 Gig Ram, Win 10 , 250 gig SSD, 40" Screen + 22 inch below, Track Ir, TMWH, Saitek combat pedals & a loose nut behind the stick :thumbup:
Sgt_Baker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I confirm that this one works I still have trouble dragging but now it's in place it works. Ok, cool. If anything, try reading up on exactly how the HD7990 (I run an HD 7970, which is precisely half of it) behaves when not being specifically driven in Crossfire mode. It could be that each of the two GPUs in the card are running a monitor each. While I've tested this kind of setup successfully with separate gfx cards, AMD's x2 both-in-one are known to behave strangely. UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
i3dman Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 very happy to hear your already working on the F15 and SU27! feel free to PM me if you need another beta tester, i have an elaborate touchscreen multipit and a heavy helios user.

Much appreciated. As it stands we have managed to isolate all the F-15C's displays, incuding the HUD, but rather needed to concentrate on making the A-10C/KA-50 support "weapons-grade" prior to getting stuck in to other aircraft.

watar Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've deleted everyhting related to DCS and reinstalled it but still the same problem. Black boxes in each lower corner, can be resized with buttons but not moved or resized freely [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Black boxes in each lower corner, can be resized with buttons but not moved or resized freely Roger that. You're not running your gfx card in nVidia Surround or ATI Eyefinity mode, are you? In any case, this is an important and interesting test case. I will be in touch (likely tomorrow) with a diagnostic build of uMFCD. Hopefully that will shed light on what is happening.

Sgt_Baker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I'm using dual GTX 670 in SLI but not Nvidia Surround for DCS. Ah ha! SLI being a very important clue there. Will have to do a whole load of research as to how SLI affects the rendering pipeline. If it's not too much trouble, and in order to properly isolate the issue, could you attempt running with a single gfx card? If then it runs, we know precisely where to look at applying the fix.

G00dnight Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) As I drag to lower monitor the window lags behind the pointer then sometimes it will flick onto the other screen, Once they are in place all is well and they work. as for when it started I hadn't used this for a while so prob missed the last two or three downloads.

Sgt_Baker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) In regards to resizing the displays, is it possible to turn off the aspect ratio? with MFCD screens I need to resize the width and height. cheers Yes, this has been asked a few times now. There's no technical reason why it isn't possible beyond my checking that I don't enforce the aspect ratios in code somewhere. One good suggestion was that it should be possible to alter the aspect freely while shift-dragging the resize handle. This, IMO, is a rather good idea. Will look in to this and implement at the earliest opportunity. Edited February 24, 2015 by Sgt_Baker UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
