Sgt_Baker Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 For now, yes. The original plan was to replicate all functionality in full-screen mode, yet that plan was active when the beast was a lot more simple than it is today. As it stands, the arguments for running in fullscreen a sufficiently limited that I can't honestly say that we will be implementing that mode, on account of the likely cost/benefit being out of whack. Out of interest, does DCS even support crossfire? I know that my 7970 comes nowhere near to running at 100% no matter what settings I choose, since the sim appears to be CPU-bound.

regiregi22 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Is it possible to show the HSI in a different monitor with this? If not, does anyone know any alternative method for doing this? Thanks! Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.
Sgt_Baker Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Not at the moment, but Helios supports the functionality you are after. Is it possible to show the HSI in a different monitor with this?

Crossfire right now is very limited depending on what driver version you run, but hopefully with the release of DCS 2.0 will see better scaling across the cards. Right now the windowed only setting is a non issue, but I'm keeping an eye to the future as well.

Einherjer Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 So... No mig-21 radar? ;) Great work, thanks for the update
Sgt_Baker Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Not yet, since I'm yet to purchase a copy of the Mig-21 module. It's not as simple as shoving a definition for RIGHT_MFCD in to a monitor config, you see. :) So... No mig-21 radar? ;) Great work, thanks for the update UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
Einherjer Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 :D no hurry, it's a great tool! And if you have a copy of the MiG someday... You will not have time anymore for this project :)

Sgt_Baker Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 That's not enough to get UltraMFCD to pick up the display. If it is, then I've made a mistake somewhere. After all, do you want the Mig-21 radar with all the A-10C's buttons? ;) P.S. Please refrain from asking people to modify files in the only thread that's all about NOT having to do so. :) Go to Mods/aircraft/MIG-21bis/Cockpit/RADAR/Indicator. Open file 'int'.

Einherjer Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) New MFCD Mod preview & beta testers wanted If the radar screen is movable and re-sizeable - I would be happy, if you put some klickspots on it for filters or IFF it would be a great addition, but not necessary. ATM, when I start the MiG while running UMFD, the radar screen will be rendered in the lower right corner, if UMFD is off its rendered where I have wanted it in the .lua Edited March 31, 2015 by Einherjer
Sgt_Baker Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Roger that. It's not high priority, but I will look in to preventing uMFCD from unintentionally overriding parts of the monitor setup it doesn't yet support. No problem with the clickspots - a very good idea.

geebeer2 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi, when ultra mfcd will be able to export HUD in LAN configurations and in mirrored form. thanks in advance dan
i3dman Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I've never been able to get any thing working with the KA-50 , The A-10 works great though. the diag is attached - let me know what else you might need - thanks again guys!!diAG.txt
Sgt_Baker Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for the diag pack. I'll check it out over the next couple of days (external time obligations obligations, or it would be sooner). Right after I released initial support for the ABRIS and Shkval, I made fundamental changes to how uMFCD works with a view to making it much more reliable. Unfortunately I've not yet had time to propagate those changes to the two KA-50 displays. I imagine your problem will vanish once that happens. Great to confirm with a diag pack, though. :) Baker I've never been able to get any thing working with the KA-50 , The A-10 works great though. the diag is attached - let me know what else you might need - thanks again guys!!

SageOT Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Hey Baker, Is it ever going to be possible to resize without the aspect ratio locked? Helps with that last bit of minor tweaking when you're lining them up with an Cougar MFD or similar. Didn't know if the locked ratio is a product of how this has to work or if it's something you will be able to implement in the future. Thanks VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Carrier Strike Group One | Discord
Sgt_Baker Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Hey Sage, Yes, this is something that has come up before. There is absolutely nothing technical enforcing the current aspect ratios other than the resize handle itself. It was designed like this to simply make resizing as easy as possible. The plan is to enable free-form aspects by shift-dragging the resize handle, or some such. No ETA, but it's a really simple alteration, so sooner rather than later.

Sgt_Baker Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Dan, Part of this question happens to be practically identical to one asked in the other thread earlier today. There's nothing at all technical preventing UltraMFCD from rendering mirrored and in aspect rations other than those preset in the current UI. So, it's something I'll enable in the very near future. As for LAN setups, it's something we've already done at the lab/R&D level. Will be a little while before it appears in the release-grade versions, since it'a feature that will be used by fewer users than the main functionality, but something that's already well underway.

Sgt_Baker Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Heads up: Have just sent a build with free-scaling (hold shift while resizing) of displays to Icemaker, whom at this very moment is demoing his pit at a games exhibition in France. As long as the ETA is before I get my F-18 pit complete we're good. :) :) Thanks for the response. Keep up the good work! UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
