MFDE often failing after Theater change
-
Hi,
I fly with both
Cockpit Display Extraction (MFDs only) and
Falcon MFD Extractor (v0.6.1.0)which usually works quite well.
There is one exception though - when I switch theaters (mostly between KTO, Balkans or FO’s BfB) typically for the first flight after the theater change and a BMS restart, the Falcon MFD Extractor Instruments don’t work.
Currently, as a workaround, I’ll just restart BMS again (making it TWO BMS restarts in total) and usually for the next flights, all will be fine…
Is that happening to anyone else?

Your issue sounds more complex but problems with mfde and BfB theatre are known. There are posts about it at FO. An extract that might help is
“Can confirm everything. Sadly the Debug-Launcher didn’t change the behaviour - but: The workaround is doing well. Launch MFD-Extractor normally and start “normal” F4 BMS 4.3 U1. Close it from the menu then. Start BFB and it works there. Thx for the info about the workaround, Wyn and for your effort, Aphex!”http://falcon-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=2384.msg27514#msg27514

Hi Cobalt,
thanks for pointing out to the other Thread on FO!
Good to see someone is on it, and that there is a workaround… -
Dont know if it helps, but good practice when switching theaters is to restart the exe and restart MFDE

Hi Kukki, yes it does. Up to now I didn’t really restart MFDE, but I’ll add that to the routine
It’s not as we fear a few more steps in the checklist, right ?
