LEAVU development phase, coding MPCD graphics

[RvEYoda]

just want to say amazing... all the setups everyone is construction... thanks Yoda.. i hope to mess around with LEAVU2 soon...

 

nono, that IS leavu2 you have there. The next version is 2.1 :).

 

- bug fixes

- performance fixes

- realism fixes

[sobe]

Some of the instructions for installing this program are a little cryptic. First the instructions for the Yoda export says:

- Copy the contained folder into your FC2 folder and

make sure the appropriate files in Config/Export/ are

overwritten

But when I put the files in FC2\export\config, the 2 files in Yoda are not in the config folder so nothing is overwritten.

Second, the export file for the ERI radar is only 1k and won't that overwrite the 38k export file in the game. What do you do with the ERI fix file?

thanks

Stand alone PC (no Client/Host)

 

This is how I interpreted the (shall we say) vague instructions. My OS is Windows 7, 64bit.

 

1. Unzip the Everything.zip

 

2. Copy all files from the Everything folder to C:/Program Files (x86)/Eagle Dynamics/LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2/Config (folder).

 

3. I then copied the following LUA files to the Config/Export folder:

 

class

Config

ERI_radar (see note 4)

Export

LEAVU_fcns

lua_keys

lua_keys_win7

math_fcns

netClient

netSec

Vector

Yoda_Export

 

4. Use the Leavu+ERI compatibility LUA file if you want to use ERI Radar data and LEAVU together (I don't see why you wouldn't want to use both)?

 

5. Make a Folder on C:/ called LEAVU and from the LEAVU/Java folder copy:

 

KeyBindings (Folder) - (See note 13)

lib (Folder)

LEAVU2 (Java App)

 

6. Make sure you download and install the JAVA VM (most of us are using the 32bit JRE, even on Windows 7 64bit, something to do with IE usually being 32bit even on 64bit systems): http://java.com/en/download/ie_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80

 

7. From the Leavu/dll/jre32 folder copy all the dll files (6 of them) to your 'Windows/SysWOW64' (on Windows 7) folder.

 

8. From you C:/LEAVU folder, double click the LEAVU2 java .exe file.

 

9. Once LEAVU 2.0 is running Click the Instruments Tab > Click on LoF15MFD:

 

a. No Frame: (if positioning to another monitor a Samsung 7" U70 for example) which has a pair of Cougar MFD's around them.

b. Add: if you are using a touchscreen or your mouse to activate the various tabs on the MFD.

 

10. Click on the LoF15 MFD that is displayed in the Active Window > Bind Keys

 

11. Click on MFD1Keys > Load to load the default keybinds

 

12. Click the LoF15MFD in the Available window, if you want to add a second MFD then follow instructions from step 10. But load the MFD2 key bind file instead.

 

13. A note about using the keybinds with a Cougar MFD. The keybinds are numbered 0 thru 19. However, they should really be numbered 0-9, then 19 - 10. (For example, DCLT is the bottom right button of the MFD (button 10) in accordance with LEAVU's MFD1Keys this keypress was allocated to Button 19 (which is at the top left of the MFD).

Reversing the 10 - 19 numbers sorted it out for me.

 

Hope this helps others who are having snags getting LEAVU to work.

Question of another kind - any tut/manual as how to use instruments themselves. I mean, what all those buttons do, acronyms, layout options and so on?

I know few things, not enough to tutor others, but I may be missing something.

Agreed. Some are pretty obvious.

 

But what do the NDCLT, NET, NORM SELF & SYNC options give you?

 

Cracking little App though. It is what the U70's and the Cougar MFD's were made for - who needs F4-AF eh?

First I want to thank you for some clear instructions. Second, it did not work. I kind of screwed up my export folder in doing all of this so I am deactivating and reactivating the game and will try again Thursday. I get everything but there is no pic on the mdf.

Rgr that. Hold off on your reinstall for a little while longer. I think that Yoda is in the process of making LEAVU 2.0 an automated install. (Which would certainly take the hassle out of copying individual files).

[Heks-Hunter]

This development is so amazing! Thanks to Yoda and devs! Waiting for it so long to get "realism" into my Cockpit (Hardware)! Looking forward to the Update (with installer).

[Maximus]

Yoda, on the ERI mod. I am curious what does the "Steps" do? I can see that it is assigned to the numpad 0

 

Thanks

[RvEYoda]

Target step, maybe you are familiar with it from the falcon4 series?

[Maximus]

I dont fly Falcon 4.0 for serveral reason. no subtitles on radio comms.

 

explain what it does, if you dont mind :)

[104th_Crunch]

Step is stepping through targets in TWS. If you have 3 contacts in TWS, you press step and the TDC will auto snap to each contact.

[ScEBlack1]

How do you press "step" ? with the lock button?

Thank you. S!

I tryed to use leavu.

On the Desktop(with FC2.0 installed) almost everthing is ok.

But on the notebook MFD does not work. its only render the frame without any data inside.

 

PS ADI work on both configs

MFD only on desktop

HUD renders nothing on both configs.

winxp pro x32 on both computers

There are 3 keys to use currently in LEAVU. They are listed starting at line 172 in ERI_radar.lua

 

-- Our keyboard settings

keys = {};

keys["step"]=0x60; -- num0

keys["lbst"]=0x61; -- num1

keys["masterArm"]=0x62; -- num2

You may be missing VC2010 redistributable, or possibly dll's are not in the right place.

The HUD is a place holder, and it isn't functional at this time.

dll copied in win\system32

i installed VC2010 redistributable. I installed lastest version of java 6.20

i have intel gma500 chipset and mauby problem with driver?

Ok that is good.

 

what is VC2010 redistributable? I installed lastest version of java 6.20

 

Look here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?pocId=&freetext=Microsoft%20Visual%20C%2b%2b%202010%20Redistributable%20&DisplayLang=en

This is a possibility ... I don't know if that has any real support for OGL or if it will use acceleration for LEAVU.

[wed]

VC2010 redistributable installed - not working (((

[GGTharos]

Please open command prompt and run:

 

java -jar leavu.jar

 

From where you have installed LEAVU, and post the error you get here.

[igorry]

Hi I am getting the same problem as wed except that I am able to get MFD working in my laptop but not the MFD in the monitors attached to my desktop where the FC2 is installed. I get a blank MFD frame in the attached monitors. I have checked the Leavu in my desktop is connected to the sim.
