Lightning's MFDE and 4.33
-
Has anyone worked with extracting gauges recently? The link provided send me to this site that my web browser blocked for containing malicious software. Is this really the case or is it safe to download? Thanks!

Hi warbirdguy1
Yep, it looks like the right one for downloading Lightnings software (MFDE).
I, for my part, have had no problems. Been using it for years on different PC’s.BTW: Did you succeed in disabling the HUD in the main screen?
Best regards

Hi,
I don’t know if this has been mentioned before but …
THE MFDE fuel gauge has the Red and White “flags” at the base of the AL and RF needles the wrong way round so even when every thing is fine the RED section on the AL needle is showing
If it has been mentioned before and or fixed can someone point me in the direction of … please.

Forgive the obvious question, but you do have the correct model (C/D) F-16 fuel gauge selected in MFDE for the plane you want to fly?

Why are you still using MFDE and not YAME??

Ok, please list the advantages ?

The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire.

How do you even use Yame? I tried it, and can’t make heads nor tails of it. I know it’s prolly just me, but some help with it would be great!:D

Before YAME I used MFDE and GPT. Believe me YAME is much more user friendly and versatile, once you become familiar with it. The YAME Manual is a pretty thorough guide to setup and a good place to start. Beyond that advice, provide a detailed description of your issues and help should be forthcoming.

I’m quite old fart, but no probs using MFDE; tried couple of time with YAME and never able to see the mfds running. That’s why.

It is the RWR I am having problems with in Yame. The threat rings do not show up in-flight, just an empty RWR. Ideas anyone?

I think BMS exports only the RWR emitter symbols. I drew the threat rings on transparent media, fixed it to my display and sized the RWR to fit. I noticed YAME has several different RWR gage graphics, but I do not know whether or not the rings display in cockpit.

Not at my PC now to verify but you have to select “transparent……” at the RWR setup in YAME, it will give you the rings [emoji2]. Same for the DED edges…

Let’s keep it on-topic please; this is a MFDE thread.
Please discuss YAME in the YAME thread, so ideas, help and support can more easily be found by those needing it.

That is why I have not moved to YAME yet. MFDE is working perfectly and I need time to figure YAME out and I haven’t had any time lately. It is not as simple as MFDE to setup when you are not familiar with it. I look forward to trying it though.

If you are using only MFDE, the performance hit is about the same. The advantages are mostly not having to use CDE and being able to save and share layouts. As a multi-screen user and having used MFDE for years, sometimes the program would go berserk and display my gauges on one of my display screens and not on the touchscreen. I would then have to manually drag each and every gauge and place them juuuuuust right so that they “fit” perfectly under my Helios profile. YAME solves this problem in a few ways, making it easier to move/adjust gauges and you can adjust gauge size and position to-the-pixel. I also used to pair MFDE with CDE as I did not really like the MFDE DED and PFL display, and for some reason, there was a bit of lag on my MFDE MFD images, so I used the CDE for MFDs, DED, and PFL.
For any more questions (ie, advantages, how-to?, etc.), please do go to the YAME thread and I’m sure there’ll be someone happy to help out. Bikeman, to get the RWR image (rings), tick TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND and BACKGROUND IMAGE, then click the IMAGE button and select the appropriate RWR picture. Click APPLY and you should be sorted.
Again, for any more concerns on YAME, head on over to the YAME thread and you should have help in no time!

Thanks for the replies,
Sorry I didn’t realize it was going to be a knots & nickers issue. :munch:

I run both MFDE and Yame at the same time. Yame for the standbys’ and MFDE for the RWR.The mfds I still extract
from BMS itself.They all work good.
