UFC display in other aircraft

[brettt777]

So now that I have my MIP humming along nicely in the FA-18 Hornet, I wanted to try it out in a few other aircraft. Setting up the MFD's and knobs and switches was not too hard to figure out. The MFD's all work well. But... I have no UFC data displayed in any other aircraft. So I don't see my comm info or TACAN or autopilot info on the Winwing UFC displays. Obviously it's there in the sim on the main display, but nothing on the Winwing UFC, except for the Hornet. Is this normal? Does the Winwing UFC only work with the FA-18? Or am I missing something?

All hail @prestonflying for making this possible. 

You can make it show whatever you tell it to. It's easiest to get it to show basic info:alt, airspeed etc but anything else reflected on live displays are possible. Most of my edits are hopefully useful but reflect superficial knowledge of modules, eg you really want comms channels or tacan not things in your hud at all times etc, but learning as we go lol

I think this is the mod I tried last night. I couldn't get it to work. I loaded up an F-16 in SimAppPro and then in DCS, the buttons and knobs worked, the MFD's worked but the nothing on the UFC.

Hey, if you can load into a mission and attach your `dcs.log` file (Located under Saved Games/<DCS_FOLDER>/Logs/dcs.log) I can take a look to see if there is a possible error occuring.

Also, SimAppPro can overwrite the modded lua files which will remove the functionality so this may be happening, you can manually check the filed under Saved Games/<DCS_FOLDER>/Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua, try following the steps again from the GitHub page

Have you looked in the SimAppPro settings?  I believe you need to set it in there for whichever (supported) aircraft you want.  I can't remember which all ones are supported, but it should be more than just F-18 IIRC.

Err remember the f16 was disabled due to the conflict with the winwing icp.. Something in the main files needs to be changed to get it to work again i think? I got it going again at some point.

@brettt777 wwtExport.lua try copying that file over the one in the modded \Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\wwt folder
