i think i got this fixed and i want to share my story in the hope it might help a lonely soul
first of all the above is not correct. It looked that way because in fact the options do show up, but after a long time (15-20 min).
0.6.1.0 and 0.6.1.1 versions with both the same result.My setup is windows 7 with win 10 waiting to install. (my feeling is that last point is the issue, but don’t quote me on that…)
long story short: i reverted to a state of windows without any win 10 updates. Reupdated win7 with all the latest updates and installed MFD 0.6.1.1
it works like a charm now.
Could you please tell me which version of your framework runs now ?

I did not touch a thing and it stopped working again.
Can’t even get the MFD’s to extract in standalone.

I have a similar problem to Icarus, sometimes the MFD’s work perfectly, most of the time they don’t.
The gauges work every time, using version 0.6.1.0 which works perfectly in BMS 4.32.
It’s like the MFD’s are not getting initialized at the session start up…. very frustrating.
Is it true that they are working on a version of MFDE for 4.33 ?.
Thanks.

See post #23…This is the only way I got both versions to work reliably. https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23359-Lightning-s-MFDE-and-4-33&p=338743&viewfull=1#post338743

I cannot even get the MFD’s to work in standalone. All the gagues work fine. Whatever the reason my MFDE server is not allowing MFD extraction seems to be bypassed by BMS config option to extract MFD’s.

I got it working in fullscreen! MFDE.exe compatibility set to run as admin and disable visual themes and desktop composition.
-
After format & reinstallation of OS, MFDE works fine if only, the mode is not in fullscreen…

Appreciate your reply dawgboy, unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

Nice find Icarus, just started four “dogfight” sessions in succession and the MFD’s worked every time :).

hi,
somebody got a link for me to DL version 0.6.1.0
thx -
Oddly enough the same place you can get 0.6.1.1
Try reading the thread, rather than just expecting people to answer for you. Hint: Post 4 may be of particular interest to you.

What is your native language? Maybe someone will translate things here for you.

This worked for me and now I don’t need to have the work-around for v4.32. Thanks, Icarus.

I’m having similar issues to you - mfde installs and runs, but takes 15min after click for the options menu to appear. I had to update to .net framework 4.5.1 to install mfde 0.6.1.0 and noticed thereafter that my PC was also very slow to boot - like 5-7 mins slow. So I’m wondering if this slow response from mfde is not a .net framework issue.
Did u also experience the slow boot issue prior to reinstalling?
What version of .net are you using? -
v 0.6.1.1 working here no problems
-
I had same problems. Reinstall 0.6.1.1 and run has administrator. Problem solved
-
I uninstalled my previous version (5 something) and installed 0.6.1.1: flawless. It even remembered the position and type of instruments of the previous version.
-
OK, so after another 4 hours on the keyboard and mouse (when I should’ve been on the stick ), I still cant get this working.
I’ve tried 0.6.0.0 to 0.6.1.1 - all have the same issue - starts up in the task bar, but can’t right click for properties or start. 0.5.7.0 runs, but no mfds, and jittery gauges.
The mfde installation package came with visual c++ runtime libraries - notice that I couldnt install these either - Some error about vcredist_x86.exe having changed since it was initially published. Just wondering if everyone else were installing this (ie. The setup.exe in the install package, or just running the mfde MSI file)?
My last resort will be an OS re-install, but that would mean loosing all my fsx, clod and ROF installs too, so I’m holding off for now.
Questions:
- Did anyone else get the mfde working on Windows 7 Ultimate without SP1?
- if yes, are you using .net framework 4.5.1?
- Again if yes, did u install the visual c++ runtime library package that came the mfde install?
TIA
Edit to add: just figured that when mfde does eventually start up, mfds and gauges are working. The problem is still the long delay (5-7mins?) between clicking on mfde in the task bar, and the options appearing, or selecting a gauge and it actually starting.
So now I need to figure out why it is so slow. As mentioned earlier, boot time is much slower after updating to .net 4.5.1, so I suspect these two are related.
