DCS Moving Map

[Tusk.V]

I'm not sure if this has been asked but is there any way to get this incorporated to Open Kneeboard?

[Bergison]

Interesting idea, I would definitively support this! I've posted it on the OpenKneeboard Github page (link).

Update: fredemmont from OpenKneeboard asked if the 'window capture support' works for this. Could you please try?

Will it be too small to view in the kneeboard?  Is it going to be the real-time in the kneeboard?

Works perfectly! Thanks so much!

Hi @Bergison How are you?

I left a post on your website.

I Dloaded and extract the Mods/Scripts to DCS saved games and in Special Tab in DCS inputted my IP4 address.

However the DCS moving map.exe file from the extracted folder disappears...

I've tried redownloaded the zip folder a few times from your site, however, everytime I un-zip the to the folder in my Downloads, the DCS Moving Map.exe disappears.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Nato, that's very strange. Please check if any Antivirus or Malware Software blocks/deletes the exe file. There seem to be reports of simular cases: https://windowsreport.com/exe-files-deleting-themselves/

How can I decrease the moving map brightness? I am using OVR Drop inside VR. I tried lowering the alpha but that just makes the image darker and difficult to read

I was able to get this to work, Amazing in 2D!

I've tried it with OKB in VR, workable, however in Heavy MP .miz it will slowdown.

Thank you for this App!!!

Have not tried this, but if it is a Windows server I see no reason why it should not work.

Update to version x.9 with some new features:

1) a Missile Warning System, that displays a warning if a missile gets close to the users unit.
2) a Track Recording function, that records and shows the users track over the map. The recorded track can be reset on the settings page.

Only for Caucasus ? And free Avast find a Win64:Trojan-gen

No, the update is for all versions of course, only the screenshots are made in the Caucasus map. I have received some reports about virus alerts: it seems to be related to the way Python scripts are packed for Windows (see this article). These reports are false-positives, there is definitively no virus or trojan in my code!

Ok, didn't try it on other map on my PC, for virus alert, I have to disable Avast, install Moving Map and make a rule in Avast, little annoying.

Update to version 11 is out with some bug fixes and a new slider to control the Missile Warning volume. DCS MovingMap now also remembers your preferred settings (like map style or unit label selection) between sessions.

As always, feedback is welcome! Have Fun!

NOTE: consider installing the free Caucasus version first, to try out the app and to test if your DCS data export is working!

I just purchased the full version of this. This is great! The only thing that would make it better is the ability to pinch to zoom. Especially when trying to look at clustered ground targets. 5nm zoom is not sufficient.

[Bergison]

Update to version 12 is out with some new features:

- added current Groundspeed (= True Airspeed +/- Wind component) to the Ownship Info Box
- added ETE (estimated time enroute) to a selected Markpoint to the Markpoint Info Box
- added a Mapscale 1 NM button (as requested by some users)

As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: if you upgrade from an older version, you need to replace the movingmap-hook.lua file in your Saved Games\DCS[.openbeta]\Scripts\Hooks folder with the updated one included in the .zip file!

Hi @Bergison, I am wondering that can I save the Moving Map settings for the Windows version so that I do not need to set again when I launch the app, is it possible? Thanks.

[TasDozer]

This looks very promising!

Is there any way to display the MGRS grid on the maps?

[Msiipola]

How about a touch screen on Windows?

If you have a hdmi-screen for windows, which has touch screen functions, will these work in the windows app, like how it works in Andorid?

[Bergison]

Update: Version 15 is out with new features and some fixes:

- added the OpenAIP map overlay: it shows Navaids, Airspaces and Aerodromes, and can be toggled on/off with the 'AIP' button.
- fixed a performance issue, where units 'disappeared' from the map in missions and on servers with a high number of units.

As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy!

MovingMap does saves all settings in a file named config.cfg, which is already included in the .zip file. Make sure it is in the same folder as the DCS_MovingMap.exe and not read/write protected.

TasDozer: Is there any way to display the MGRS grid on the maps?

We'd need a provider for (free) MGRS grid map tiles. I've looked around a bit but could not find any. If you happen to know or find such a service, I am happy to add it as a map overlay to MovingMap!

I have just tested the Windows version on a 7" touchscreen, and the App works exactly like the Android version.

Is config.ini instead?

Yes, of course.

config.ini I'm at a loss to understand this config.ini What do the numbers relate to?

There is no need to edit or change these values, they are saved automatically when the App closes. For a reference, this is what MovingMap saves at each index:

user settable values (saved in config.ini file)
    0 = 2        MAP style (2, 3, 4)
    1 = 1         TYPE show/hide (-1/1)
    2 = -1       C/S show/hide (-1/1)
    3 = -1       ALT show/hide (-1/1)
    4 = 1         ROSE show/hide (-1/1)
    5 = -1       SZ/F show/hide (-1/1)
    6 = 1         SZ/E show/hide (-1/1)
    7 = 1         TRACK show/hide (-1/1)
    8 = 0.5      MAP opacity (0 .. 1)
    9 = 50       Missile Warning Volume (%) (0 .. 100)
   10 = 1         AIP show/hide (-1/1)

[Msiipola]

I want to set up a firewall, excluding everything but the Moving Map Internet requirements.

What url:s must the firewall let through?
