About MFD Lua file

[Seabiscuit1985]

I have 3 small screens for mfd on F18C with thrustmaster MFD push button frames and they work perfectly fine for F18, F16, F14, A10, AV8 etc. But for AH64D only the left and right MFD of the gunner seat can be displayed. How can I write the Lua file to display the left and right MFDs for the pilot seat and how to display the central screen of the gunner seat? Many thanks!

I believe ED will be sorting this out in a future update.

What I did as a temporary work around is to create an Apache Monitor Lua file for the Pilot instead of using the Left_MPCD and Right_MPCD.  Others may have come up with some other method as well but this worked for me.

Do a search for a thread about "multi, monitor, export" and all the details are in there.  Good luck.

Thanks for replying. But if we know all the names for the 5 displays (front seat 3 + back seat 2) in the lua file we would be able to write it by ourselves. Do you happen to know the names for all the 5 displays? Thanks.

I'm just off to work but I put copies of my Lua's in the thread for download.  I also noted the location of the .init file so if you can find the thread it will be able to point you to the file.
