Recommended Posts

Well, here i am again but this time with a Winwing CDU question. Everything worked fine in the A10C II until i changed the width in the commandmenu.lua to shift the radio menu to the left of the screen. Since i see that the screen on the Winwing CDU is scambled. Is this hardcoded together?

function getMenuWidth()
    local fontScale = getFontScale()
    
    return 1680 * fontScale
end

I7-4790K with Corsair H110 / Asus Maximus VII HERO / 2 x 8 GB Corsair Platinum 2400 / Asus GTX980ti / OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB for OS / Corsair ax760i / Corsair Carbide 540 / Samsung EVO 500GB for games

Hi ,use the latest version, https://github.com/landre-cerp/WWCduDcsBiosBridge/releases
no need to edit json config file. If you're talking about aircraft json missing files when you launch the app check readme https://github.com/landre-cerp/WWCduDcsBiosBridge
and dcsbios installation documentation

I dont get how changing font size for Elios might impact data send by Dcsbios. But if it's the case , which i really doubt , i cannot do anything to fix it .

Problem solved, installed the bridge again and everything works flawless. Thanks for this amazing integration. I love it for the FS 2020 PMDG 737-800 and now i can also use it with the A10C II. Thank you

An thoughts of expanding your app to the OH58? Great work, and thank you!

Sorry Don't own it, and won't buy.  But it's not that hard to add for someone that owns the helo. ( f15e support i do not have was added by someone else than me for example )

I hope it can be expanded to support the C-130J. Seems it's exactly the same layout from the Boeings.

There's one thing on the c130 display that cannot be done ( as far as i know ) on winwings - at least with actual fonts-  , it's the inverted chars ( light BG and dark text ).
I have an idea by making a special font with inverted chars but not sure it'll work .

Ah interesting. It's worth trying, I suppose. Good to know it's on your radar, though. I will follow with great interest!

It is actually possible to do that! I did play with the device a while back and mapped out all possible font colors and combinations. I attached an MD file that contains all color combinations (background + font color + font size) with the associated HEX code. Have fun 🙂

This file has nothing to do with the C-130 unfortunately and as far as we know there is no way to make it work with the C-130 yet.
