ErichVon Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 How do I switch the left MFCD to the right side and switch right MFCD to the left? Also if one is out, how do I get the other MFCD info to the one MFCD that is working? Yeah, I am reading the manual, have not found this, yet. I used to know how, but have forgotten.

EtherealN Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 As an aside, I totally recommend printing those HOTAS pages and/or splitting it out into a separate PDF for use on a tablet. A lot of questions can be answered really quick with a look through there. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
TurboHog Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Alternatively you can change page layout for your DSMS. Hold down one of the lower osb's until you enter the display program page. Select the page you want to add with the left or right OSB's and when you've done so click one of the lower OSB's to get the new desired page on that position. That's also how to get the load page back in case you want to reload DSMS after a rearm. I put it on my left mfcd instead of the stat page. 'Frett'
ErichVon Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I was on those pages, I just did not see it. I played this sim last year for a little while, but my PC was not up to it. About a month ago I came back to both the Warthog and the Black Shark to try again with a better PC. I forgot just about everything. I find if cold starting these things, I need to be doing it daily or pretty close to it and doing a sortie. Thank you, guys. Edited March 23, 2012 by ErichVon
XarBat Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 If an MFCD goes out due to malfunction, you cannot switch the page selections; which seems very silly.
nomdeplume Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 If an MFCD goes out due to malfunction, you cannot switch the page selections; which seems very silly. Unless the page selections (etc.) are stored on circuits that are near (or in) the MFCD, so a loss of the MFCD implies a loss of the system that controls the MFCD.

It's an MFCD failure, not a CICU failure - there's no real reason why the displays couldn't be swapped as long as the CICU is intact. Honestly, I can't even understand why the ability to swap screens around would even exist if not to compensate for a screen that goes dead. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Unless some part of the CICUs BIT detects a dead MFCD and stop generating data for it (just thinking out loud). Display swapping is quite useful if you like to have the display you're focussing onto displayed on the same side of the aircraft as the target area in an orbit for example.
Frostiken Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I thought that was why the TPod is available on both screens by default though :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
