problem with TM MFD's

[john9001]

I'm trying to add a third MFD to use with the A-10c and as you know the A-10 module grays out MFD 1 and 2 for it's own use. when I plugged in the third MFD it listed as number one also and is grayed out. When I tried to change it half of the test page was missing.

 

I seems the main problem is ( start> TM> control panel> game controller> properties> test page ), on the test page the joy stick and throttle ( TM T16000 HOTAS ) are OK but all three MFD's have the upper half of the test page missing and I cannot change the third MFD to number three, it is stuck on number one.

I had an issue with MFD's 3 and 4 not having their numbers appear on the game controller app. I reinstalled and all was well, so try that.

you need to go to the game controller windows options. You should see your four MFD's there. You can edit the properties and rename them with a drop down menu to MFD 3 and MFD 4 (I also have more than two)

That's the problem, the part of the page/window where you name them MFD 3 or MFD 4 is missing. I had hard time explaining that to Thrustmaster, had to send them a photo of the screen.

 

Everything worked fine when I first hooked up the MFD's. Only later when I tried to add MFD 3 did I find the problem. When I plugged in MFD 3 the program called it MFD 1, so I had two MFD 1's and one MFD 2 and no way to change them.

Problem was in the drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled drivers, now all is good.

 

Happy in the land of pixel airplanes.
