Scarecrow Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) So I constructed a makeshift UFC for the F18 using a spare Cougar MFD and a programmable keyboard which works really nicely and is much cheaper than buying a replica. I got the UFC viewport output by changing lua files and replacing it every time DCS updates. It would be really awesome if the UFC viewport was official and the viewport was "brighter" as it is pretty dim and the best way to make it visible on the second monitor is to increase the UFC to full brightness in DCS which is fine in day missions but probably will be an issue on night missions. I know this will be very low priority but it would be nice to get as the UFC is so heavily used in the F18c. Edited January 17, 2022 by Scarecrow 1
OscarVictor11 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Hiya.........just looking at your approach to the UFC and related display's. Ive been working on mine for months but cannot seem to get the Arduino +LCD displays working properly at all. Ive also been looking at using an old Ipad mini for displaying the complete UFC and displays as in a youtuber solution (search YT for ' DCS F18 UFC on Ipad '). Its worth a look. Bob
Scarecrow Posted January 23, 2022 Author Posted January 23, 2022 Yeah i did try a UFC app for android but it cost ten frames a second on my hardware so i moved to this solution for the UFC plus I had the spare MFD and some free space on the second monitor. YMMV
