Hi, yes ok that did the trick. Log is accessible now. Thank you very much so.
@Kommurcu . Please, one more thing , can you somehow better mark which MFD is selected, mfd SOI frame, maybe change color to … i dont know eg. “low yellowish” , … it is kinda hard to distinguish on which MFD frame is , as frame is somewhat broken where the fsk (mfd) buttons text are.
!!Anyway, reporting that all works good., haven’t got any problems. Thanks again Komurcu.
Tho, refresh is kinda lousy, jitterish, when connecting via WLAN , but i guess is to be expected. That is just my lousy wifi connection. But, when tablet is connected via usb tethered network, i get frames
just like that , I can put refresh on “30” (in app) and it almost seems real-time. like, PERFECT , don’t want any betterEven data throughput is not that small … some constant ~2MB/s . THAT IS almost 16mbit/s , for 54mbit(g) wifi , it is 1/3 of the bandwidth… so … bear that in mind if using wireless and have more then one device on wireless of which use (g) standard … if your wireless is >150mbit/s or more … there shouldn’t be problem other then distance to the router.
Cable is still the best , even an USB2 one which allows to 400mbit/s … depends on hw… etc. eh.Cheers

I just downloaded the latest version. I’ve been using this program for a long time, but I had the old version which you had to point to the keyfile in 4.33. Anyway I wanted to uninstall 4.33 so I downloaded the latest version. It all works fine EXCEPT the MFDs on the tablet are displaying as follows:
1. LMFD - showing bottom right hand corner of HUD
2. RMFD - showing bottom left hand corner of HUD.Is there a way to correct this so the MFDs are displayed on the tablet? All the OSBs work etc. Thanks
Having the same issue. If you worked out a solution can you post it?

Same here. Hopefully there is something, I really appreciate the functionality of this program.

@Fisty: are you using the portable version by Oakdesign or Kormorcu’s version with the registry hack?
-
I just installed the latest version and have exactly the same issue. Only some parts of the HUD are shown on the LMFD and RMFD.

Okay, I have done a bit of research and have a solution:
if I use the portable version posted by Oakdesign (the one you unzip and run without installing + native 4.34 keyfile selection) then I have the display problem
If I use the version from Komorku (that requires an install and the registry hack for 4.34) then i do not have the problemI would have preferred to use the Oakdesign version but for now it’s not showing the MFDs properly.
Note: For the registry hack I put in the path to the falcon parent directory only i.e. “c:\FalconBMS 4.34” no additional directories.Trust this helps! Thanks again Komorcu!!! Appreciate the effort Oakdesign!

Hi I didn’t have the time to look into the part of where the display images are cut out of the main shared memory image as on my machine the Displays all show properly. IIRC the coordinates in the Server app are hardcoded and that could be reprogrammed as BMS provides the proper coordinates. I might find some time after I come back from vacations in 2 weeks to fix that in my no installer version.

Appreciate the effort Oakdesign. I will keep checking.

Yesterday I got a new Pc, the old one did not work anymore, and I started to install all the sw that had in the previous. With no issues I did FalconMfdServer and everything works fine except one: Everytime I load it appears a message that said more or less: “Falcon BMS 4.33U1 version does not exist please select correct version”. When I tried to select the correct one by clicking on the menu it does not appear the current version I have: Falcon BMS 4.34 U4. I installed: FalconMFDServer (3.5.0.0). Any Idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance
-
Can’t be fixed, I simply click “cancel” and “ok” in the next pop-up window asking for the call sign and all is well. I hope you still have your old keyfile you used with your previous install.
all the best,
Uwe

Thanks Hoover for the input. Yes I have the key file and everything works perfect except what I commented
-
Sounds good, glad to hear you got it working!

Here we are!! with BMS Falcon 4.35. I just installed and everythinks looks ok except one thing: MFDs and DED are Blank. I tried with the “cockpit Display Extration” to set the right position of each display but the new menu on the 4.35 Launcher do not appear that option in the menu.
Maybe is a bit soon, but any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Cockpit display extraction is not needed, MFD server reads from the internal BMS memory.
Make sure you have these set in your Falcon BMS.cfg file
set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 // This enables the shared texture memory area for HUD/MFDs/HMS/RWR/DED/PFL. This is independent from BMS external window usage set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 // This determines how often the shared texture memory area (if it is enabled) will be updated (every Nth frame, default is 2) set g_bDoubleRTTResolution 1 // Doubles the resolution of the cockpit displays (MFDs, HUD, HMS, RWR, DED, PFL), internal and external
Works fine for me …

Got mine up and running just fine via RTT (p.35, BMS Technical Manual) the option “g_bDoubleRTTResolution” is now obsolete (p. 167 BMS Technical Manual) and is now handled in RTT options.

I also use MFDE, and it does not work without DoubleRTT, not sure why … but if it works, don’t f with it
Conversely, if it doesn’t work, f with it
