Lightning's MFDE and 4.33
-
Do not run CDE from inside BMS to extract MFD’s it WILL half your frame rate.
Trust me I am a …… fill in the blank ;0)
But keep it clean or the MOD will be all over you like a rash !!!
+1

Or turn off BMS exporting and have fullscreen mode ……by running MFDE as admin and get the MFD’s that way.
Hello Icarus. I’ve made all you say but it doesn’t work for me. That is why i run BMS in window mode. Of course i run mfde as admin.

But how can we fix the performance of the MFDs and even the fuel flow readout, its like a slide show.

Try also disabling visual themes and desktop composition.
How many monitors do you have?
-
Hello.
Same problem here….all instruments works Ok except MFD´s., and same solution, turning on Cockpit displays in Setup.
Any solution?
Thx very much for the work.

falcon bms.cfg file in \Falcon BMS 4.33\User\Config:
g_bExportRTTTextures set to 1?
g_nRTTExportBatchSize set to 1? (or change ‘Export a new set of images to shared memory’ to ‘every 1 video frame’ in MFDE Options). -
Yes, and I have the same issue using Gigurra exporter:
MFD´s not working but activating display exporter in BMS runs Ok.
-
“…disabling visual themes and desktop composition.”
That´s it!
All working perfectly
Thank you people…:)

tried all various “fixes” and still cannot get MFDs to work. Isn’t there a few lines of text we needed to add to the BMS.cfg file to make MFDs work or is that just on older versions?
-
Doesn´t work for me either - here´s my setup and the link to my MFDE´s logfile:
- MFD_Extractor_v0_6_1_1__x86 installed at default location
- bms 4.33 installed at default location
- win 7 professional installed fully updated
- latest Visual C++ Redistributables (x64/x86 2010/2012/2013) installed
- 2 Samsung U70 USB monitors with latest Displaylink drivers for MFD extraction, configured and correctly identified by windows as display 2 and 3
- disabled aero themes
- running MFD_Extractor as admin, disabled visual themes, disabled desktop composition
- “g_bExportRTTTextures set to 1” and “g_nRTTExportBatchSize set to 1” in falcon bms.config
- enabled “exporting of 3D cockpit instruments to shared memory” at MFDE´s BMS advanced options
- “export a new set of images to shared memory, every 1 video frame” at MFDE´s BMS advanced options
- “use primary monitor´s color depth” at MFDE´s BMS advanced options
- reverted to older Nvidia drivers
- uninstalled my Displaylink drivers
No luck - MFDE´s start/ stop menu is greyed out as soon as I check an instrument for extraction….

Btw. it was working with an older version of MFDE and BMS 4.32

hi guys,
perhaps i have solution for everybody
1)twice boot of two operating system on same HHD
2)just install in other SSD /WIN7 PRO and BMS 4.33 for test and not with hypervisor but you must use a special support for that or connect or disconnect on bios or developp file bat :: DOS
for me with this you can use BMS 4.33 with older technology and apply your older configuration with that
and after charm for everybody
just i search of solution in this way

I´don´t get your idea - I assume you mean installing it under 4.32 and than copying the config files to 4.33?!? I doubt that will do the trick, or did you try it by yourself?
But anyway, maybe there will be a new version of MFDE in 3-4 weeks solving our problems…. -
Exceptions made for MFDE 0.6.1.1 in firewall and antivirus?

Lightning is working on the next version I believe, but he’s subject to real world time constraints like everyone else so expect it when you see it.

Will try it but I do run it locally. Anyway I´ll check it . Will report back in a couple of minutes…

Heard of that - crossing my fingers …
@ Icarus: I tried disabling antivirus/firewall I also reverted to an older Nvidia driver and uninstalled my Displaylink drivers - no change unfortunately…

I had an issue that it was going to my 4.32 exe by default. The 4.33 and 4.32 exe’s are named identical.
I uninstalled 4.32 before installing 4.33 but I´ll check if there is any remaining stuff in my registry pointing to 4.32…

Something is blocking it from working. Start/stop should not be both greyed out. You are using standalone correct?
The only thing I can think of……is your MFDE download was corrupt. Try re-downloading and re-installing. Only start should be greyed out in the beginning. Stop should be black text.

Yes standalone - its not greyed out if no instrument is checked at the options menu, but as soon as I check any instrument for extraction start/stop is greyed out immediately.
Did clean my registry from any remaining 4.32 entrys. No positive result.
