FLOLS overlay?

[Hawkeye_UK]

More to the point can we have an update from ED on when this is going to have an actual dev fix - needs to be an option in settings please.

 

Cleary its easy to do - why the near year wait - has it been forgot?

Excellent thanks for the update - hopefully this can make it into the OB as its a really immersion killer in VR

Did you updated DCS after the mod?  I guess this file will be overwritten each time you update DCS.

Nope! My DCS is a bit broken as I seem to have a few issues...

Looks like it's an option in 2.7 now!

Same here....And in LSO station it is on all the time...even my mouse don't hide like before this update.

Can confirm also.

The, the previous fix still work or not?   Going to update tonight after work.

Deselecting the option in the "Special" menu worked intermittently for me tonight.  The pop-up FLOLS would be gone for a few passes... then it would suddenly appear again.  When re-checking the menu, it would still be deselected.

 

Gonna try the .lua edit again tomorrow night.

Old trusty file edit works

Excellent, thanks.

One job memes come to mind...

Yeah, i am sorry, ED, but this is absolutely pathetic. This much time, for something so stupidly simple, and when you finally get around to it, you screw it up. Shame!

I had the same issue but I turned it on and off again and it seemed to work.

Same here. Toggling it ON and OFF seems to work.

[Stearmandriver]

... until it eventually comes back again, which is what happened to me.  Kind of a surprise; you never know when it'll pop back up! 

 

I just edited the .lua again lol.

Yep, same here. I turned it on and off, worked for a while, then it popped back up again. Back to .lua editing!

[Lieuie]

That seems to be the case. Did anyone add it to the bugs section?

Submitted in the bugs section.

Disabling FLOLS from the DCS control panel doesn't work for me.

I went back to using the disable iflos overlay mod.

If you want to remove the FLOLS overlay which pops in your cockpit just before landing:

- close DCS

- go here C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\Supercarrier\PLATCameraUI

- open FLOLS.lua in admin mod (with Notepad++ for example)

- line 41, replace "FLOLS:setVisible(val)" by "FLOLS:setVisible(false)"

- save, close and restart DCS

 

And put "false" to "val" to revert

 

It may not pass the IC

 

 

tks sir

This bug is fixed in the latest beta.
