Change colors MFD
-
Hi…
If I use the avionics configurator and change the color to MFD, the change is visible only to KTO. What is the right procedure if I want different colors of MFD in other theaters?
Thx

First of all, if you change anything in the Avionics Configurator, you will create a change to acdata, which is multiplayer critical and you WILL lose compatibility with any server that has the acdata-check enabled.
If you did not make a back-up before you started editing things, you can download the original acdata folder (found under Falcon BMS 4.34\Data\Sim) here.That said, there is still a way to change colours without having to change acdata, but it requires a bit of a workaround rather than just saving it in the Avionics Configurator.
1] Open Avionics Configurator and using the left menu, select the aircraft that you want to change.
2] At the top right, click on the Colors category.
3] Change colours to your liking
4] Go back to the top and click “Copy Callsign.ini section”
5] Open your callsign.ini (e.g. Falcon BMS 4.34\User\Config\Mira73.ini)
6] Paste what’s on your clipboard at the end of your Callsign.iniThis section should look like this:
[COLORS] ColorConfig=78 0 0 4 -1 -1 1 1 0 0 4 4 4 1 -1 1 1 -1 1 9 -1 1 0 -1 4 4 1 4 4 4 2 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 7 5 4 -1 -1 -1 -1 2 3 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 2 3 0 1
7] Save your Callsign.ini.
8] Run BMS and verify your colours are set the way you want them. If I recall correctly, this should work immediately, but if it does not, you need to go into the DTE page on your MFD to load the colours manually.The upside of this procedure is that you don’t change your acdata files and maintain MP compatibility.
The downside is that this (can) change(s) the MFD colours for ALL aircraft, not just the one you’ve selected in Avionics Configurator. -
Thank you very much.
