MIP installed, DCS will NOT start

[Matt18C]

Display driver installed. Set displays in sim app pro. Now when i try and open dcs it keeps crashing. Appreicate any help I could get on this fix. Thanks.

Can you attach this file "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs\dcs.log" it might help explain why

[FZG_Immel]

Can you post your windows screen arrangement ?

also, what monitorsetup file you are using in dcs ? The one created by winwing I guess ?

[markturner1960]

They should make sure there is an alternative to getting useful information like this - plenty of people , including me, dont want to go anywhere near it........

[FZG_Immel]

I would select 1st screen 004 as game display in the advanced option. Only 1st check

Also, I would put all the mini monitors directly to the RIGHT of the main one in windows.

 

what could make your screen change place in windows is if you have any other monitor connected to the PC, even if not activated.

[MustangSally]

Disconnect all monitors except main and do a full DCS repair/clean, reconnect WW displays and setup in Windows, start Simmapro and configure. Once that is done, run up DCS

[MustangSally]

You should not have to do that. My current Cubsim displays stay where I put them - Win11

[MustangSally]

See my signature...yes

[MustangSally]

Win10 or 11?

[FZG_Immel]

You need to eliminate variables to see what causes the issues. Get rid of anything VR at the moment. Also, like Mustang say, connect only the main monitor and start DCS. Make sure there you have the proper resolution and proper 1 screen monitor setup loaded.

You can also do the repair of DCS.

then and only then, if DCS starts properly we will start adding displays to windows and we will make sure they stay at the same place every boot, even without launching sim app pro or DCS.

 

then you will launch DCS and select the resolution that includes all monitors in windows.

if DCS still doesn’t crash at this point you can launch sim app pro and ask it to create the monitor setup file with exports

[FZG_Immel]

Nope. Unless I add or remove another monitor, the disposition and orientation of the MIP monitors don’t change in windows at each reboot.

 

I would advise lining them up RIGHT of the main monitor though. Could help

i was wondering if anyone has this problem? i just got my Mip from Winwing. I set it up plug everything in to a new 3.0 powered usb. i get everything working (powered up and i can see the the screens working). The problem is when i set up in Sim App.  the part where you need to install the drivers, i get a message saying " Download failed check the network or contact us". I did contact WinWing.......They sent me the manual to download the Sim App.. So here i am.... I downloaded the display link. i got that working, so it knows i have 3 monitors..  I already have the Super Taurus , the stick, combat panel .take off panel. all working great. But the software cant see the new MIP's. 

Any help would be great.

Download and install from here = https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/windows

[lasher505]

i  reinstalled display. but i still can't install the SimApp drivers.  i posted the message that keeps popping up

[MustangSally]

If you have installed the drivers  posted above you do not have to install via Simappro.

IGNORE the driver install via Simappro! Just download from the link I provided and install.

[lasher505]

i dont see the MIP in simApp\ is it a resolution problem?

[MustangSally]

Sorry, you have to be a bit clearer....some screen shots may help

[lasher505]

This is what I have is the simApp. The mip don’t show up. 

[MustangSally]

Have you connected the MFD's....bottom right corner of each

You should have 2 x USB 3.0 cables for each MFD/Monitor combo

[lasher505]

sorry, im not understanding. the mfd are on and i see them in the display link. But i don't see them in the SimApp

thank you for taking your time to help me...

[MustangSally]

The frames with the buttons....have you connected them?

null

[lasher505]

yes. everything is on and working. the power is on. i took a screen shot to show you.

now that i don't have...

i dont have  any extra cables? 

 

[MustangSally]

Can you see the MFD in Windows controllers?

The screen shot only shows the monitor is on, not the MFD

[lasher505]

well...your a genius ...thank you so much

 

i only see 2 mdf in sim App...is this right?

[MustangSally]

Try this...

Disconnect ALL USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse

Plug the three MFD's in.......do the button lights illuminate and can you see them in Windows devices?

Startup Simappro - can you now see them?
