Touchscreen monitor integration

 

Sgt Baker,

 

Have you or anyone else used UltraMFCD with a Windows 8/8.1/10 compatible 10-point touchscreen monitor? I have an older Acer T230H touchscreen LED but it does not have a working driver for Windows 8.1. I'm interested in using a new touchscreen IPS monitor for an avionics display below my primary monitor.

I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) :pilotfly:

Quick question, is there a hot key to show/hide the displays?

 

I'd like to keep them hidden until I need to use them.

Yes, we have a a few users utilising touchscreens in this manner.

 

For the record, another person was in touch a while back regarding compatibility wit the Acer T230H. It's worth noting that the reason there's no driver for Win8+ is that Mircosoft are refusing to certify a driver on account of the screen not supporting 10-point touch. Rather frustrating when things like this happen.

There isn't a hotkey to perform this action at present, yet adding one would be a trivial act. The functionality is already present in the form of the "Hide displays when outside DCS" feature. Would simply need to wire up a binding to trigger this system manually.

 

Definitely a great idea which will be included in a future release.

Thanks! Have I told you enough about how great UltraMFCD is? ;)

UltraMFCD 1.0.0.58 is available for download at https://ultraMFCD.com

 

New:

 

You now have the ability to select only the exports you want (see new Exports tab in Settings)

 

ExportsSelect.png

 

Improved:

 

All touchscreen, physical and DirectType actions more responsive.

Starting with this release, UltraMFCD will start to be more assertive with how it handles interaction with other mods that it should, by design, be overriding. This should help users who may have had manual screen export mods installed in the past, but not be able to manually remove any modified files.

I think you are making great strides in getting this program going in versatility and usability. Keep up the great work.

Posted

Thank you,

 

There are a few more new features inbound for the near future:

 

  • A-10C Countermeasures System (CMSC/CMSP)
  • More KA-50 stuff (although I'm far from competent in this aircraft, so it takes me longer to figure out what's useful). Definitely fixing the issue with the caution lights.
  • Kneeboard
  • A greater number of key bindings, along with improvements to the underlying code.
  • 3rd-party API, so iControl etc can do their thing without having to render exports to the cockpit.

If I'm following what you are saying, does this mean I can run iControl and have the MFCDs and CDU work on my ipad without having to have an export for those displays on my monitor while flying?

I can't get mine to work. I've used it before but without a dedicated monitor and MFDs I stopped using it. Finally got the monitor with MFDs setup and now when I try to launch a mission (any module) with UltraMFCD launched I get the "DCS Has stopped Working" message. Works fine without UltraMFCD running. Any ideas? Latest version.

@ Deezle, My anti-virus asks for allowing at first start of new Umfcd install, when I allow it I get stopped message I then just restart mission. next time I start it connects fine so check your anti-virus for umfcd being blocked.

Hi Deezle,

 

In order to help us work out what's going on, could you go through the procedure for generating a Diagnostics Package, please? It will save asking a lot of the initial questions.

 

Instructions:

 

1) Tick the relevant check box in the Settings section before launching DCS.
2) Start a flight in your aircraft of choice.
3) Once your flight has ended, a large amount of output should appear in the System Messages section.
4) Select All (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C) then paste the output in to this thread.

 

Many thanks,

 

Baker

Yes, exactly that. What's more, you can still use uMFCD's features in tandem, so if you want the CDU on your main screen and the MFCDs on your iPad, then switch it around... that too will be entirely possible. You'll still have to purchase a copy of UltraMFCD, mind.

Appologies for the delay, I've rebuilt my PC with a very much needed CPU/Mobo upgrade and a fresh instal of Win7 64bit on a new SSD.

 

Unfortunately with a fresh DCS instal and absolutely no mods, DCS still will not load into game with UltraMFCD open.

 

Here's the Diagnostics package.

Now this is a strange one. It would appear that communication between DCS and UltraMFCD is breaking down very early on. Not something we've seen before.

 

Will have to investigate what might cause this prior to even contemplating a fix.

This is what beta tests are for, Joe. If this were happening with the paid version, I too would be a little concerned.

 

Our principal problem has been attempting to transparently interact with instances of DCS that have already been hard-modified: I.e. the user has applied a bunch of changes at the file level, yet can't necessarily remember which files were changed, or how, let alone understand how those mods might have affected their system.

 

In the mean time, you could really help us and the users of uMFCD at large by generating a diagnostics package of the crash. Instructions are available a few posts earlier in this thread. :)

 

1) Tick the relevant check box in the Settings section before launching DCS.
2) Start a flight in your aircraft of choice.
3) Once your flight has ended, a large amount of output should appear in the System Messages section.
4) Select All (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C) then paste the output in to this thread or a PM to myself.

 

 

When is the full working paid version coming? The updates seem fast, but when they work and then don't I think I might wait for something more stable.

No worries. I've modified uMFCD so that it forces DCS in to windowed mode with a view to preventing this type of incident in the future.

 

Thanks for letting us know that it wasn't immediately clear what was happening.

 

:)

 

Sorry my bad, I had the Sim in full screen mode instead of window mode. Works great again now. I'll try and delete my previous thread.
