Lightning's MFDE and 4.33
-
Hmmm… new issue… why does the MFDE MFDs sometimes display the in-pit MFDs but sometimes it doesn’t? The gauges are working fine, it’s just the MFDs that are temperamental.
I’ve tried running the program normally and as Admin, no go.

A lot of people have similar issues. Several threads on BMS about it if I remember correctly.
-
Updated MFDE version will propably fix our issues in 3-4 Werks. meanwhile BMS internal (windowed) extraction is the way to go - at least for me…
-
Just can’t get this working with .33, tried multiple versions, and a few tips from this thread, no luck.

Also having problems with 0.6.1.1.1 - Worked great for about a week then took up to 5 minutes to load. It seemed to become more and more useless in the past week. I’ve reverted to CDE in BMS. Here’s my rig specs. Hope it helps. Meanwhile, I’ll just wait on the update.

GC - AMD RADEON 7870 2GB DDR5 PCI-E 3.0 (GPU OC’D-1100 MHZ + MEM CLOCK OC’D-1300)

I to have had some problems but so far have been able to solve them all. Working great for me on a common GPU (7950) with 32’’ 2560x1440 main, 18.5" secondary.
A few points.
- Alt tab or making the Falcon window inactive stops the MFD from updating.
- Reinstalling BMS cause MFDE a problem. Uninstal MFDE and delete User/AppData/Local/MFDExtractor/MFDE*****************/0.6.1.1/user.config.
- Changing GPU Driver caused a need to “Recover” all outputs again.
- I don’t remember finding any persistent registry entries.
- 30millisecond polling worked best for me, I tried to match average FPS.
- Thread priority to “AboveNormal” Fixed the jitter in the MFD.
- I set 16-bit color, but have no evidence that helps.
- And Export new image every 1 video frame.
Again a big thanks to Lightning

Ok I got a stupid question. How do I get the lightenings panels to show ontop of Falcon while I’m in flight without going into windowed mode? Everytime I start Falcon It takes up the full screen and then I can’t see my gauges.

It is meant to be used on a second monitor
Or was this a trick question ? :munch:

SHIFT + / :munch:

OK, I’ve got a new one. I’ve been using this for some time and suddenly this evening, Kaspersky is telling me that it has Malware and won’t open it up.
“…Falcon MFD Extractor\Common.InputSupport.dll
Object Name Trojan.MSIL.Agent.abirt
Object type: Trojan”Any thoughts?
Just noticed eagleeyes has the same problem on page 10 of this thread.
Has no one got any ideas about this? Or are Norton and Kaspersky both wrong?

I’ m not using MFD ext. currently, my touchscreen broke , but it is 99% false postive by antivirus, depends …
Where did you download it ? Always download from the main site then you can be sure it is the real one soft you’re using.
You see by the module where it was intercepted by antivirus "Common.InputSupport.dll " , that is where antivirus heuristics “believes” it is a trojan keylogger or something , malware.
Because we are using very “fancy” (not so standard) ways of input/output controls for windows.But in our case … , who would do that and why?
Cheers

Zonelabs reports a virus too. I downloaded the source from assembla/lightningviper and recompiled it. Still a virus, obviously false positive. I set an exception in Zonelabs antivirus.
-
Have also a virus warning message from G-Data antivirus !
-
Can anyone confirm the virus of this file ?
can not clean the file via antivirus software G-DATA or restore the file back !any ideas?
-
False positiv…
-
Thanks to those who reported it was a false positive.
-
heya, Bitdefender same, “wondering” , set to don’t scan data file! But what is common.dll scaning ?? That’s the problem!

It seems I now have lost all functionality with MFDE 0.6.1 and 4.33. At first I only had problems with DE not working in ITO (only MFDEs, other instruments still worked fine), then I tested the new Ikaros version last night and nothing worked.
I then followed the suggestion of uninstalling MFDE completely and deleting the folder found in “Appdata”, then re-installing, but sadly that hasn’t helped. I’ve now also lost all functionality in KTO too, so at least now there’s symmetry
I checked my “Falcon BMS.cfg” for the usual variables concerning Shared Memory and all is looking good. Any ideas what else is there to try?
Thanks, Uwe
-
Do you run BMS in windowed mode? I do, and this is the only way MFDe works fine for me.
-
Yep, windowed mode here too. Funnily enough it seemed to work fine in stock KTO at first but it’s not working now after re-installing version 0.6.1.
