I suck at installing stuff.. I followed your guide but i can´t seem to make this work. 

Do you place the "Mods and Scripts folder" INSIDE the DCS.openbeta folder or where do they go?

"Mods and Scripts" will be enough , just drop in the DCS.openbeta folder.

[Dozer1606688093]

Did.

But when i open DCS and navigate to the "Special" folder, i can´t see any icon for the DCS Moving map there.

Did you restart DCS after installing the mod?

[Dozer1606688093]

Think I made a mistake. I put the two folders in the Saved games folder, and not in the open beta folder. Maybe that's why it isn't working. When reading the installation process, it's said to put the folder in the Saved games folder. Maybe I misunderstood that part.

yes, you need to put it in the openbeta

Just found this. Looks awesome.  I'm wondering if it might be possible to create a version that emulates the PMFD of the F-22 for the Raptor mod? Where enema aircraft are red triangles, friendlies are green circles, own flight are blue circles and threat emitters are red pentagons with associated (reduced) detection range circles? You can see some of the details below.

Is there a non google play apk somewhere? My tablet is too poor to run play services so i side load the apps most of the time.

Thanks!

 

[unnox]

Please make an iOS version. It would be really great if this would work with the iPad.

cheers

Thank you for making this. I actually got it to work both on the pc as well as my tablet. I tend to prefer the windows app because my tablet is smallish. I am a little confused about the pw-dev setting control panel in DCS settings -> special. 

1) Why  is there a checkbox to edit the config.lua file?  Isnt this file editable in notepadd++?

2) It allows 4 device IPs but I still have to put the single ip of the map client in the Setttings-> Moving map panel. So I dont know why those 4 devices are listed since you can only have one active client whose IP has to be specidied in the Moving map panel.

3) Also, there is a configuration for streamdeck. I already use DCS Exports and have a line in my export.lua file for it. This is what my export.lua file looks like:

 

-- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]])
local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')
pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil);

pcall(function() local pw=require('lfs');dofile(pw.writedir()..[[Scripts\pw-dev_script\ExportInit.lua]]); end,nil);

It's a very helpful app (thank you for this work) but I am missing the Marianas map. Is there any plan to implement it in the near future?

[Torattacker]

The map used for this APP can be F10 style or Google map.Now the map is diffcult for us to find airports.Hope next version,we can use it. TX!

Bought this today, works fine on Android but when using the PC app my controls do weird things. Button presses on my throttle and the keyboard command to set half speed. Weird.

 

EDIT: It also sends my controls crazy when using the phone app.

 

If I find it is not the map app doing it I will let you know, but so far I have only had this control problem twice, both time using the map app.

Very strange indeed. Never had any problems like this on my system while testing. MovingMap does not look for keypresses and does not send any. Anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks for everybody's replies! Yes, the Mariannas and the South Atlantic maps are planned for future updates. So is a release for iOS. It might take some time though, as I am very busy with my 'real job' currently. I hope there will be more time for development in the future.

latest update killed it?

Not working since DCS last update. The Android application (version 11 and 5.1) launches and closes a few seconds later.
I'm waiting for the next update 

[Bergison]

Hey guys,

I just tried with the latest DCS open beta (2.7.17.29140) and on my tablet, phone and PC and everything works. Could you check if the required files are still in your /Mods and /Scripts folders?  You might also have to re-enter your devices IP address in the Specials tab within DCS (although a wrong or missing entry there should not cause the app to crash...?)

Please report if the problems persist!

[Ex Machina]

I installed and checked several times following your advice, but I always have the same problem of Android application which closes when it tries to connect on the Windows application.

I Launch DCS and mission, and i launch DCS Moving map app Windows and launch DCS Moving map app Android in this order.

Did you install it in Saved Games ? (nothing goes in core folder)

[pedrodatguy]

That was it thanks sir! 

[AhSoul]

I just tried this out. Looks interesting but performance seems really bad? When I'm in the F-10 view the MovingMap display updates constantly, but when I'm in the cockpit it sticks and updates only sporadically. So it's not much use atm. Maybe an issue with 2.8?

[2IAEFulcrumbg]

Keeps crashing on start-up on my android tablet, however on my phone works fine? Am I missing something!? Tried to compare the file permissions, etc... everything seems the same. Has anyone experienced this before?

1) are .jpg format and named exactly like the original ones (e.g. 'Caucasus.jpg')

2) have the same pixel size (e.g. 6750 x 4000 px for the Caucasus map)

3) span the same area (e.g. 36,5°E - 45,5°E and 41°N - 45°N for the Caucasus map)

When I get the properties of the Caucasus map, I get this:

 

How should I scale my map? I would like to use the attached map:

 

Its property details are:

 

It seems to work OK as is. Does DPI affect accuracy of indicated location?

[SperrfeuerSiegfried]

I installed it on my Windows PC and it works.

But somehow i dont have Symbols on the map.

And i cant get the caucasus map from the kneeboard as an overlay. I Just have a plain white Background.

its therefore not usable for now
