MPCD Extraction on Harrier not working?

[Lancelot]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i can´t extrac the MPCD image un a second monitore on the HArrier.

It works well with the A-10, F-16 and F-18, But with the harrier i don´t get any image.

I tried with the "LEFT_MFCD" and "RIGHT_MFCD" code lines on the lua file for monitor configuration, and it didn´t work. It did work on the other planes.

Then i tried using Helios, using especific aircraft code lines on the lua file, and same result, noh image extracted, but it did work with the other planes.

 

Is there something special to do to get MFCD extraction on the Harrier?

 

Monitor Setup LUA file code ut be used with Helios:

leftmonitorwidth = 1946
leftmonitorheight = 1080
centermonitorwidth = 1946
centermonitorheight = 1080
rightmonitorwidth = 1946
rightmonitorheight = 1080
intrumentmonitorwidth = 1600
intrumentmonitorheight = 900

F_16C_DED = { x = 5840+1125, y = 0, width = 300, height = 102 }
F_16C_RWR = { x = 5840+220, y = 0, width = 256, height = 256 }
F_16C_EHSI = { x = 5840+685, y = 669, width = 230, height = 230 }
F_16C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
F_16C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
FA_18C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
FA_18C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
FA_18C_CENTER_MFCD = { x = 5840+1600/2-200, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
FA_18C_IFEI = { x = 5840+1600/2-315, y = intrumentmonitorheight-564, width = 430, height = 167 }
AV8BNA_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
AV8BNA_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
A_10C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
A_10C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 }
A_10C_RWR_SCREEN = { x = 5840+220, y = 0, width = 256, height = 256 }
A_10C_CMSC_SCREEN = { x = 5840+634, y = 452, width = 334, height = 84 }

 

Everything works, only exception is the harrier.

 

Edit: spelling mistakes.

Shooting in the dark here since I don't own harriet yet:

 Is the lua file for this device (maybe MPCD.lua ?) has  "render purposes" enabled for all? This needs to be done for devices like A10 RWR.

 

Good luck

Not sure i get what you are asking.

 

On this folder

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\MPCD\indicator

I got a

MPCD_init.lua

MPCDL_init.lua

MPCDR_init.lua

 

On neither of those three files there is any "render purposes" or something similar to change. And as i said, Helios made some changes to lua files to get the MPCD extraction, and it works fine withe F16m F18 and A10. But not with the HArrier.

The harrier is unique in that you actually have to enable the Exports while in game.  There is a keybind that you must hit to start exporting the left and right MFDs (two separate keybinds). Might be the cause of your problems.

It was. I just found out. 

Thanks for the help.
