Sgt_Baker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Use your imagination. :) Why would your program interfere with Helios and the viewports in my monitor config file preventing the chaff/flare info from showing up on my second screen? UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
Backy 51 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DayGlow Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 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. "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11
Sgt_Baker Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 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. Regards, Baker Sgt Baker, Have you or anyone else used UltraMFCD with a Windows 8/8.1/10 compatible 10-point touchscreen monitor?

Sgt_Baker Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 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. Baker Quick question, is there a hot key to show/hide the displays?

Sgt_Baker Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 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) 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. UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
intx Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I think you are making great strides in getting this program going in versatility and usability. Keep up the great work.
Sgt_Baker Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 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. :) Baker I think you are making great strides in getting this program going in versatility and usability.

G00dnight Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 @ 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.

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.

Sgt_Baker Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) 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.

Sgt_Baker Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 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. Baker Appologies for the delay, I've rebuilt my PC with a very much needed... UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
Sgt_Baker Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 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. UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com
joebloggs Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 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.
Sgt_Baker Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 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.
