IMPRESSIVE!!!

Quick question: will cockpit be clickeable?

Regards!!

No, just MFDs.

could we find the new flir-MFD in new version? such as rocket instructions or TDS fov gates and so.

Can I please ask if you will be changing the MFD screens to have labels/text on the actual MFD model in the cockpit or on the actual MFD screen inside the bezel?

I have got one the Thrustmaster MFDs up and running now and surrounding an MFD screen that is being displayed on another monitor. To translate the key presses you do need an external program running, such as AutoHotKey... This however does seem to work quite nicely

The devices simply present themselves as a multi-button joystick with 28 buttons and apparently you can have up to 8 plugged in at any one time!

I don't get what you're asking for here...




As for using those devices, it probably won't be possible until we have mapping of keyboard/joystick buttons. But that's being worked on by somebody else.

So in the updated version, will the text describing each of the MFDs button function, appear on the MFD screen (an example shown highlighted in red)? Or do you have another method in mind? Does the picture explain better what I am asking please?

You can already use the Thrustmaster MFDs by running AutoHotKey and mapping each of the keys pressed into the game - it will take a while to write the AutoHotKey script though...

Cheers

As you can see from all the screenshots there's labels on the display describing the buttons' current function.



But the buttons don't currently have any keypresses assigned. And since there are about 30 of them for each MFD, that would be a lot of keyboard shortcuts which would have to be mapped. And hard to make something which doesn't conflict with existing keys. So better wait for remapping of keys/controls first.

Whoops my bad for not looking at the first page properly!

Ok next question, will it be possible to customise the way the lablels are displayed i.e. if I have a 5 button per row MFD (rather than a 6 button one like in a proper Apache)? Or is that a monumental task?

Many thanks for your patience

The buttons are configured like the real Apache, and there is no way of changing that (except changing the exe).

So the Thrustmaster MFDs only having 5 per side is problematic when using it for an Apache MFD which has 6 buttons per side, plus special buttons.

Damn and blast.

So the only way that I am going to be able to use the Thrustmaster MFD is to download the source code once you have finished the new update. Learn to code in C, and then change the way the MFD buttons are displayed.

Or find some way of fabricating an MFD that matches a real Apache, that does not require me to sell my kidney plus anyone else's I can lay my hands on! I have had some quotes to do that and they are truly shocking - approximately £300 per MFD...

The chances of one being released by a games company are about as slim as the chances of a paper dog surviving while chasing an asbestos cat through hell! lol

Thanks anyway Arneh
