A little help please F-15 Radar

[Greekbull]

First of all please excuse my ignorance on this. A little new to some of these mods. I have a second monitor that I export the two MFCDs to with the Ultra MFCD program. From what I've read I can export the Radar for the F-15C but the Right Control Enter doesn't seem to work for me. Any guidance? Thanks

UltraMFCD doesn't support the F-15C at the moment, although it's pencilled in for the future. We did some custom work recently at the request of a company in France, and once the A-10C's uMFCD is good for release, i.e. out of beta, we'll be tackling ALL the F-15C's displays, not just the radar.

 

That said, if you read up on how to manually export displays, I believe the F-15C's radar will adhere to LEFT_MFCD.

Yes thanks I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I love your program that will be exciting when it is available for FC3 and future modules. I'm having the issue manually exporting the left display. From what I've read the way to do it is the right control and enter keys. When I do that I just get a very faint almost transparent output in my lower right corner. I'd love to have any feedback on how to get the actual radar out to my second monitor.

 

BTW if I forget to turn your program of and go into FC3 to fly the F-15 it does leave a very large output of the radar on my screen on the left side. Unfortunately it's not scalable or movable. I'm

Yeah, the F-15C's radar export is a little odd. Comes pre-shaded in red, for some reason. I apologise that uMFCD presently affects things it shouldn't. Had to remove a load of "sanity check" stuff to get the most recent release to work properly.

 

If you go to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup you can modify one of those presets to display the radar.

 

What you need to add is, approximately:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Camera + LMFCD');

Description = 'Left MFCD on the left and camera on the center'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = screen.width ;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 0;

y = screen.height - 400;

width = 400;

height = 400;

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

 

Will give you a 400x400 radar on your main screen. Modify as desired, and yes, you have to do the weird RCtrl-Enter (?) to get it to display.

OK great thank you! I guess that's the part I didn't understand. I need to setup the display export manually before using the key command. That helps a bunch. One last question. Will manually exporting the F-15C radar by modifying the commands mess up your Ultra MFCD program at all with A10C? If so I'll likely just wait for your integration. Thanks!

uMFCD will override whatever you put in there (or at least is supposed to). Become a Beta Tester and try it out! :)

OK great news. I'm already using the BETA:thumbup: Love it with A-10C! Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't mess that up. Thanks for the help and the awesome program your putting together!

It's a pleasure. Working with flight sims is my dream job. :)

Thanks for the advice. I went through all the Lua instructional threads and ended up modifying a display file and getting it to match up with my monitor under my Thrustmaster MFDs. Excited for your upcoming products though!
