I have seen that when I apply your mod, on the EWR screen, when selecting AUTO or S/A (semiAUTO) a long number appears next.

Is that with v2.5.2 or v2.5.1? I'm on v2.5.2 and doesn't seem to happen to me.

Excellent.

Are you referring to 2.1.52 or 2.5.2? If it's the latter, I don't know where to download it.

Nope you're absolutely not being thicker than a whale sandwich. The quickfix was uploaded as part of the download just incase while I work on fixing the mod then the car accident happened. Forgot to upload the rest of the files. It should be uploaded now.

I managed to track it down in an old download, glad it wasn't me missing something obvious. Thanks for the great mod and hope everyone is ok.

Updated to 2.1.53

Question about JHMCS and the keybinding issue. Seems people using DCSBIOS are reporting the problem but I don’t use DCSBIOS and I am having the keybinding issue as well. It is only me not using DCSBIOS with the keybinding issue?

I'm trying to figure out why people are having keybinding issues even though I didn't really touch anything keybinding related. Which keybinding are you having issues with?

Hi @CapnCoke , on the SA page, I see all the symbols in white except for the enemies, which are red. Before, I saw my flight members in blue and those of other friendly flights in green, but now they all appear white. What am I doing wrong? , I hope you can clarify this for me. Thanks.

Disable the mod. Delete. Download and Enable the mod. Maybe something wasn't loading right.

And to clarify surveillance flights and friendlies detected by surveillance are blue while members and other f18s are green. I wish I can get members to blue but from the way its coded it's not possible. Maybe I'll find a way.

For some reason, the modernmpd.lua file didn't copy. Fixed, thank you very much. @CapnCoke.

@CapnCoke Hello and thank you for all the work that has been put into this MOD. I was doing a night mission and switched the mode switch from "Day" to "Nite" and wanted to ask if their is a lua line that would tell the DDI's to go from white line displayed currently back to the green ones (vanilla)? All the other colors are great in Day, Nite, and NVG. Basically white lines only in "Day" mode. I am guessing the DDI's do not have a different display profile for each of the three position Day-NVG-Nite.

Kindly,

J

Not possible. If I'm able to create profiles, it wouldn't work as the lua have to be reloaded either by exiting and entering the plane with alt+J or respawning. Now maybe if I find the line that checks if it's night and automatically go to nightmode then use if statements that could work but then I'll have people asking me how to get white colors back for night missions.

I am no expert on the art of lua but I did notice the ifei does change from white to green when switched from day to anything else - perhaps looking at that lua may help??? Thanks considering it.

That's a good way to start and pretty much how I approached when I created this mod. Unfortunately as far as I know these kind of color switch is hardcoded. I can confirm it in Materials.lua there's only one line for IFEI color which is white and there's no night variation for it. Also the way how my mod works is overriding the color after the original color is applied and there's nothing I can find in IFEI lua files that checks for Nightmode.

I think the best solution would be to use something like (in short) "IF time night then use mdg green" and it will apply green but won't be able to switch back to white. That will be ok since I don't think youll be in a mission long enough to be daylight maybe at most till sunrise or starting at sunset but it will still be considered dark. Only issue is I'm not sure how to check for time state atm.

IFEI Switches to Green to be NVG Compliant.

Make sense - TY

Possible fix for DCS BIOS keybinding issues when using JHMCS II thanks to Bones1775.
Deactivate JHMCS II then Place this devices.lua in "Your Mod Manager Folder\F18C JHMCS II\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" Then activate JHMCS II.

Check if keybinds work and JHMCS II Nvg still turns on.
