Lightning's MFDE and 4.33
-
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.
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.

Stop should not be greyed out. It is not in mine when I select an instrument. The only thing I can think of……is your MFDE download was corrupt. Try cleaning all MFDE from registry and re-downloading and re-installing. That is all I can think of.

I also did re-download the installer - no success. I guess it has something to do with some missing net framework components . Can you check which versions are installed on your machine ?
In my case:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) -12.0.30501 -
I have same Net Framework and 21 versions of C+++ (x86) and (x64) from 2005 all the way up to the latest version you have.
Lightning’s older requirements:
