Problem exporting viewports in ver 1.5

[bigbear]

Does anyone know how to export viewports in ver 1.5? I just upgraded both A10C to the latest version along with updating to World 1.5 but now am unable to export the viewports so that it can run in Helios. Call me spoiled, but that will kill DCS gaming for me unless this problem is solved. I had some dreams of even building an A10C cockpit, but now it looks like that might go by the wayside too. I really wish ED would make the effort to make the exporting of the viewports easy when they do upgrades. I know I can't be the only one struggling with this. Getting the viewports on another monitor just moves the gameplay to another level.

which viewports?

 

only the MFCDs are exported by default the rest (CMS, RWR, Clock, Etc) have to be manually exported by modifying the cockpit script.

After hours of searching and experimenting, I finally was able to get one the MFDs to export. I think the other instruments will be easy. The trick was that I needed to get a good Export.lau file. I found one by a guy called Captain Zeen (http://www.captzeen.com) who put in the coding for that. There is also a guy named PeterP who wrote a good article on the basics -- which I initially got frustrated with because it was out-of-date on some important points. For example, it now appears that I no longer need to modify the ViewportHandling.lua as indicated by PeterP. (Doing so, messed me up for many hours.) But PeterP also provided some important instrument-specific lua's that worked for the one MFCD and I hope will for the others. I will know this weekend when I have more time. Thanks for the code snippet, Sabre-TLA. I will check what you have with what I have from the guys I mentioned. I am feeling optimistic at this point. I sure wish ED would make all of this easy with a simple screen of some sort. They provide the hooks, but now just need a nice interface to make guys like me happy.
