UltraMFCD - drag, resize and click display exports. Zero configuration.

[Sgt_Baker]

This type of functionality is possible with uMFCD, yet not implemented at present. Should appear in UltraMFCD 2.0Weeks™.

 

:)

 

I am looking for a mod that will allow me to export the mfd to other players on multiplayer either through dcs or through twitch. Can this be achieved using this mod?

[eriks71]

Sgt. Baker, i'm so happy you don't throw the towel in the ring.

 

I hereby put in a promotion request for Sgt. first class.

[BackboneOne]

since today the app is not working and says "This beta version of UltraMFCD has expired. Please visit UltraMFCD.com to download the latest version." there is no new version on site.

 

so today is no-fly day?

[Sgt_Baker]

Give me a minute to get this fixed. My copy of Visual Studio has suddenly decided to reject its licence for some reason. Attempting to resolve, then will update the uMFCD licensing service.

thank you very much for quick reaction, all our birds are on the ground without your fantastic mod :smilewink:

[Sgt_Baker]

All your aircraft grounded, along with my entire ability to work. Waiting for MS to get this sorted out. :) :doh:

 

P.S. Perhaps MS are having catastrophic problems in general today, as Skype has just stopped working too.

roger that, maybe will give Huey a spin then :pilotfly:

standing by

[Sgt_Baker]

Skype is back online, yet VS is still very much refusing to cooperate.

ooh this affected a few folk!

[Sgt_Baker]

Two separate problems. Coincidentally, I was supposed to update uMFCD's licencing server (soon to be replaced) to allow all the beta copies to keep running. As I fired up Visual Studio with that intent, it immediately threw a major hissy fit and reverted to an "expired trial version".

 

The irony is that a licensing problem is preventing me from fixing THE licensing problem.

 

:D

Try VS community edition it's free

[JanTelefon]

Oh no!!! I'm grounded. How am I supposed to fly the A-10C or KA-50 without the awesome UltraMFCD?

[Sgt_Baker]

Yep. That's the next port of call. Unfortunately, Community Edition will not happily coexist with Ultimate on the same box. Giving MS the requested "48 hours" to get this solved before I uninstall everything and start from scratch.

You're flying the KA-50 with this? That code is still only "proof of concept". Glad you like it. :)

[geebeer2]

Guys, any news?

thanks

Yep... Granted I fly mainly the A-10, but the Skhval and Abris exports are still very useful for my second screen. But the left and right MFCD export as well as the RWR export I pretty much can't fly without at this stage. I'm keeping my fingers crossed UltraMFCD will support 1.5/2.0 when we get them. :)

 

Great work on this software. REALLY!!! GREAT WORK!!!

[Sgt_Baker]

MS, good to their promise, have sorted the issue with Visual Studio. Have consequently updated the licensing server, so uMFCD should run happily again.

 

Apologies for the outage.

[Sgt_Baker]

P.S. The fact that a product disputing its license causing a product to dispute its license is an irony not lost on me.

Thanks for the update! One small issue though. I tried exporting the clock in the A-10C, but it didn't work properly. The dragable window for the clock is empty, but the two buttons are clickable. The clock itself is however displayed in the lower left corner of the exported left MFCD. Really strange.

 

I'm running DCS on three screens in nvidia surround with 5850x1080 resolution (some bezeling adds 90 to the width). I'm exporting the left and right MFCD as well as the RWR to a fourth screen below the middle center screen. I hope that makes sense.

 

It all works like a charm except for the clock.

 

I generated a diagnostics package as well, but that was to long to post in the forum. I'll attach it as a file here then.

So the initial assessment is that there's good news and bad news.

 

The good:

 

1) The lag issue only affects the front end of uMFCD. This is nice, since we have 100% control over that code and everything it does. If the issue affected the bits of uMFCD that run inside DCS, we might be here for an age attempting to sort it out.

 

2) The problem is now affecting both AMD and Nvidia users. Thus, it is likely the fix will solve the problem for both camps.

 

3) The fix is probably very simple to implement.

 

The bad:

 

Still unable to reproduce on this end. As it's a driver-level "disagreement" in uMFCD's code, no amount of diagnostics packages etc will help until I can actually see the problem manifesting, in person, on a development box.

 

Anyone found a workaround for Win10/Nvidia Setup? :cry:

[Sgt_Baker]

Which exact model of nVidia card are you using?

No worky here: screen doesnt even update. Udsed this on Windows 7 but with ATI a long time ago.

GeForce GTX 960 all drivers and OS currently updated as of date of post

WIndows 10.

 

It's not even lag, i get about 40FPS in game over two displays 1920x1080 up and 1600x900 down. I get slightly different versions of broken with the following changes; running as admin at least the UI works and saves., running windowed at least the MFCD window shows black and not updated, without its just black.

Let me know if theres something specific you are interested in and I can fetch it.

[Sgt_Baker]

Yeah, this is a tricky issue since the actual conflict has come about as the result of some change or the other at the driver level. Initially this only affected Nvidia cards, but there are now reports of certain AMD cards succumbing too.

 

The only way I have of reproducing this is to purchase the affected cards until I can reproduce the problem locally.

 

Thanks for the info! :)
