Data cartridge in training mission TE's
-
Your MFDs should come up in accordance with the settings you set in the data cartridge. Have you set your DTC?
No, nothing…but for example in the ramp start TE when i start my jet up my HSD is there functioning as is my FCR and flight plan on HSD. But like i said i think these are set by two default files in user>config.

Ramp start is different. You have to load your data cartridge once you are in the cockpit. It is not automatic.

Yea i did it too, on the FCR clicking DTE then clicking load. I noticed that i did have to set the tower in comms on the DTC but the others are already set. I’m guessing when you installed Falcon there were no DTC defaults, but now there are which i had when i installed the game.
But heres’ another thing, i downloaded the DTC made by Krause which he shares in a link attached to his tutorial, but i cant load it in game, and i saved it to the right folder which is the one i’ve mentioned. Falcon BMS 4.32>User>Config.
-
Correct…no default DTC settings after install. Have you set your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level (default) settings for your MFDs through the data cartridge?
-
No, nothing, havent set anything but they appear in game, at least in NAV mode….but even for NAV mastermode in the DTC they’re all set to MFD off. I’m guessing they appear in game due to those ews_def and mfd_def files in user>config.
-
Best bet is to setup your MFD settings in the data carthridge. If you use WDP, it is a lot easier (to me) to set them up there.
-
The DTC file must match your logbook username exactly. You should see an ID on the DTE MFD page prior to load.

I tweaked my DTC and did the ramp start TE and everything came up as what i entered, only i didnt get to test to see if chaff/flares got released. They shouldnt be released as i didnt set any programs for them, i’ll try this out later.
I just looked in my config folder in the BMS install folder (Falcon BMS 4.32>user>config) and i could see my new saved DTC on there and yea, my callsign is Viper and i see Viper there. Theres actually one file for configuration settings, one that says LBK file, another is PLC file and another called POP file….happy days.

@cns - Looks like you are getting there.

Yep and i pressed CMS forward/left in game and nothing was released as i hadnt set any EWS programs, so thats it. As i created my own DTC i’m no longer using anything from the defaults.
