Wolf359 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just have to ask this... How in THE hell did the software/DCS know which MFD was left or right?! I just plugged them in and when I checked the bindings, they were already in position. Meaning, I didn't have to switch to correct positions. BTW, I love em!

Moki Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 When you plug in the MFD's, there will be a light at either the top right or left. That's how you know which side it will function towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 You can also double clicking within DCS - Controls, so you can edit the name to "MFD Left" instead of default "MFD 1". i5 8400 | 32 Gb RAM | RTX 2080Ti | Virpil Mongoose T-50 base w/ Warthog & Hornet sticks | Warthog throttle | Cougar throttle USB | VKB T-Rudder Mk IV | Oculus Rift S | Buddy-Fox A-10 UFC | 3x TM MFDs | Buttkicker | SIMple SIMpit chair | WinWing TakeOff panel | Andre JetSeat | Winwing Hornet UFC | Winwing Viper ICP FC3 - Warthog - F-5E - Harrier - NTTR - Hornet - Tomcat - Huey - Viper - C-101 - PG - Hip - SuperCarrier - Syria - Warthog II - Hind - South Atlantic - Sinai - Strike Eagle - Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf359 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Some of you guys misunderstood the post. I asked how did the software already know where I placed the MFD's. In other words, when I plugged them in, they were already assigned the correct positions.

shu77 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 MFD 1 is assigned left, it turns on the left light. MFD 2 is assigned right it turns on the right light. DCS uses MFD 1 as left and MFD2 as right. If you use common sense and position your MFDs with the lights it should just work. When you add a third it by default adds it as whatever unit it is from the set. In USB game controller config you can assign it to MFCD 3 and give it a different light config and MFCD number if you have the 2018 drivers installed, 00(I chose both) unfortunately if you have launched DCS previously this can confuse it and you end up needing to reassign the keys again for the doubled unit.. I recommend a control export prior to starting as button 1 is not MFD 1.
