Winwing MCDU -can it be used in DCS - for other aircraft

[Polar-eX]

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

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

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 )

If you are interested in trying to add the OH-58D i made a contributing guide

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!
