Where to download the drivers for your MIP MFD screens ? (your link is dead)

[FZG_Immel]

Hello Winwing.

 

I am trying to finalize the installation of the whole MIP.  I am trying to activate the mini monitors in SIMAPP pro, but when I do, it tells me to install the drivers for the monitors and extend the windows desktop to them.

the link provided to download such drivers is the following :

https://resistor.com/static/assets/files/en/MFD Display Driver.zip

only problem, it is dead.

can you tell us where to get the drivers so we can have the display inside the MFDS ? that would be great !

 

thanks

@FZG_ImmelThis link worked for me: https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/windows-10.2-m0-public, there is also a 10.3 version but have not tried that yet.

damnit, is that you setup working already ? dang nice !

 

let me try those !

[prestonflying]

Ya, it arrived this afternoon. Did a test flight with it this evening.

[FZG_Immel]

good news. drivers work ! Thank you !

Now, ive tried the winwing solution to activate but it isnt working too well. 

 

I think im just gonna create my new monitor setup again, and export all my MFDS to the right place like I used to do before. That will also allow me to have other planes displays displayed such as the F-14 or even the F-5 !

nevermind. Winwin sim app pro created all the good coordinates and sizes of screens. Now I just have to copy them to my old file !

Everything works, BUT, the numbers in the UFC.

I see you did not manage to get the numbers to input into the UFC either, correct ? wonder what we are missing

[prestonflying]

UFC does work for me.null

Did you bind your buttons on the UFC, this is needed to get the input recognized?

You can also try clicking a button in-game and see if you get data on your WW UFC.

[FZG_Immel]

my buttons works fine (not bound into DCS yet though). what i dont get from the UFC is the digital displays showing freq etc.

aside from having the winwing line into the export.lua, anything else you did ?

my other issue is that it takes forever for sim app pro to show all my devices in there.. DO you have this issue ?

UFC probably uses the export lua scripts, double check those are not commented out or old (you can use the settings->repair lua script I think to get fresh ones from WW).

I do not have that issue with devices loading slowly in SimApp. Do you have powered USB hubs? I ran into an issue where I had a 7 port usb hub, but one of my MFDs didn't work when all the usbs were plugged into a single hub. I fixed by reducing the load on the single usb hub. Perhaps this is related? But just a guess

[FZG_Immel]

Would you please copy your export.lua line for winwing ? I have the old one, and i am not sure it is still working properly.

local wwtlfs=require('lfs');dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')

currently all my MIPs (all 7 USBs) plugged into the same USB powered HUB, while my Orion and TO and Combat panel are on another one.

I can try splitting the MIP over 2 different ones though, see if it changes anything.

 

Thanks for your help again. I just browsed you big topic and already change the : 

•  Change `_winwing.interval=0.03` to `_winwing.interval=0.10`

to try to improve FPS. I notice that the whoe game is a bit less smooth than before, even though FPS seem to be in the same ballpark approx...

[prestonflying]

All the needed fps changes are standard in Winwing scripts now, no need to manually tweak/edit! I would delete the wwt folder folder from Scripts, run the "SimAppPro->settings->repair lua" to get the fresh ones (that perhaps have new logic to handle the UFC?) 

[FZG_Immel]

Well, all works now. I restored the Export.lua

 

the Only thing creating problem now is sim app pro needing like 5-10min to show all the devices and being usable.

 

5am here. Gonna go get some sleep and finish tomorrow. Thanks a lot for all your support Prestonflying !

Restart your combat and t/o panels and try again. By restart, I mean power-cycle. This will be your friend: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8CMR18

[FZG_Immel]

LOL, so funny- look whhat my USB HUBs are :

Toldya they'd be your friends. They are, sadly, a necessity for those of us with WW peripherals.
