Exporting A-10C RWR

[heloguy]

Okay, so this is weird. I'm running the most current version of DCS-World, 1.2.5.16508, and I'm trying to get my second monitor up and running with both MFCDs and the RWR.

 

So far, I've got the MFCDs working just fine, but for the life of me I can't get the RWR to come up. Weirder still, I can only get the MFCDs to come up if I name them Left_MFCD and Right_MFCD respectively, instead of the newer names I've seen that are supposedly the right ones with DCS 1.2.5.

 

I had everything working with the MFCDs, and then decided to add the freeware version of A-10C Virtual Cockpit server for my iPad. Once again, everything is working fine now, except the RWR. I've tried three different names for the gauge, but no dice: RWR, RWR_Screen, and ED_A10C_RWR without result.

 

This is my current config:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('A-10C Virtual Cockpit Server');

Description = 'Setup for A-10C Virtual Cockpit Server MFCD and CDU Exports.'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.7777777777777777777777777778;

}

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1978;

y = 105;

width = 391;

height = 391;

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 3149;

y = 105;

width = 391;

height = 391;

}

ED_A10C_RWR =

{

x = 2442;

y = 138;

width = 159;

height = 159;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Any help would be awesome!

Did you install the modded files to support this? The names that start with ED do not come from a stock install.

 

The files from this post are what you need.

I didn't install any modded files, no. I must not have read that post. I have tried just using RWR and RWR_Screen, though, without any modding. Are both of these wrong?

I just downloaded the mod, but my next question is, everything my install is updated by ED, I'm going to have to reinstall this mod in order to have my monitor setup correctly, right?

Correct. The mod will need to be reinstalled after any update by ED. Many of us us JSGME to manage this process. More about JSGME can be found here.

 

As for your previous question...unlike the MFDs, the RWR and other instruments are not exported by the stock install. For it to work, a file must be modified for each item you want to export (i.e. RWR, Digital Clock, CMSC, etc.).

Alright, cool. Thanks a lot for the info. I have several mods I use already with JSGME, and just started setting this one up. Shouldn't be too hard now that I looked into it. Thanks again!
