So you’re not getting any “you have undefined key” (sic) messages any more when starting the mfde server component?
All the best, Uwe

No, I don’t get any errors or warning when starting the server component. Also no yellow or red lines in the keyfile displayed. And no errors in the log file of the android app.

Hm, it looks like your mfde server is not sending the keypresses on to BMS then. It might be a stupid question, but BMS is the active window when you’re trying? Do the keypresses themselves work (F1, F2 ) in-game?

Yes, the key presses work in BMS and it’s the active window

Sorry, then I’m out of ideas.

It works! I run the mfd server as admin and now everything works what a great app!
Edit: maybe good to mention this on page 1 or in the manual. I did some searching in this thread and it does come up at a certain point, but you will never find it if you don’t know what you’re looking for (like me)

Good to hear…It is a great app.

Great to hear you got it working!
Is this app still actively maintained though? Haven’t heard from komurcu in a long time sadly.
All the best, Uwe

Used it with 4.34 on F16, still seems to be good.
-
Any updates planned for 4.34?

How did you get it to work on 4.34? The pc portion of the program on my rig points to my 4.33 install. Is there a way to change this?

Hi ricman,
I made a new keyfile using the 4.34 keyfile (so I could add/change my Warthog HOTAS settings), then from the MFD server I pointed to the new keyfile in the 4.34 user/config folder. I did the same as you initially; I forgot to load the new keyfile. Be aware that you’ll need to change the lower case “x” to upper case as noted earlier in this long thread with a text editor after you use the key file editor (at least that’s how I did it).
All my best,
Rob -
Works fine for me as well with 4.34, just kept the MFDE server instance pointing to my 4.33 install.
All the best, Uwe

Thanks for the quick reply! I had already loaded the 4.34 keyfile (and remembered the lower case ‘solve’ ) but when I jump on the tablet and hit a key I get ‘key does not match’ in the server window. When I open the tablet I also see the 4.33 path at the very top of the server window.
-
I forgot to mention that in order to create the 4.34 keyfile I used my carefully hand-crafted, organic, naturally grown and raised 4.33 keyfile and simply pasted Kolbe’s 4.34 additions to it, so it was basically ready for MFDE as well (although as I’ve said, my mfde server still happily uses the keyfile from my 4.33 install).
All the best, Uwe

Good morning, ricman,
I’m sorry for the late response…I’ve been away from the computer all week (using my tablet as I am now). I’ll check and see if I can get you better info later this weekend on what I did. Uwe helped me when I first started using this MFD extractor, so he may have an answer more quickly as he’s quite knowledgeable on this.
I’m not at all experienced with the whole thing. Took me a few hours last week to get my new key file and MFD extraction working, but it’s a labor of love so that I can play BMS. I could probably do it now in 1/2 hour, but that’s called “experience” right?
Between the manuals and the thoughtful folks here sharing their time/experience I’m slowly getting there!! The key file manual that gives the logic behind what a callback/keyfile code line means is invaluable to understanding the fundamentals that help with troubleshooting. It helped me figure out why COMM1 and COMM2 weren’t working…the MFD keyfile was using the incorrect button press instead of the current ones for those buttons.
Sorry to digress…bottom line, I’ll check this weekend once I’m back at the computer and we’ll see if my (very) limited skills can be useful!
All my best, Rob -
Okay, working. Seems the keyfile is the issue and not its location. I created a new keyfile for 4.34 (from the ‘bms-full’ found in the 4.34 install). When I loaded this keyfile in the 4.34 path it gave me the error I referred to in my first post ‘key does not match’. After reading the responses (thanks Uwe for that additional post) I copied my original 4.33 keyfile over to my 4.34 path and loaded that into the mfd server. I kept my new keyfile loaded in bms. When I tested this it worked! Note the keyfile loaded in the game does not have to match the file loaded in the mfd server. It seems as long as the keys for the ICP and the MFDs haven’t changed between versions then it will work.
I am not sure why the new keyfile I created doesn’t work since the icp keys hadn’t changed in that either? UPDATE: How dum do I have to be??!!:uham: The new keyfile includes the upper case ‘X’ by default. I expected to have to change it so I converted it to a lower case ‘x’ in my editor. In so doing I fixed a problem that didn’t exist!! SO. No need to use your old keyfile. If you are using Keyfile editor - just export your keyfile and its good to go. Load your new keyfile in the mfd server and fly!!!
Next I may check if it still works if I load the mfd server with the keyfile located in my bms 4.33 path.

has anyone a clean set of commands for 4.34?
I’m trying to clear it out and I got seriously puzzled as I find many duplicates.
In first post that says to add the following I found those as duplicates:
SimHsiHdgIncBy1 2
SimHSITcn 2
SimHSIIlsTcn 2
SimDecFuelSwitch 2
SimHsiCrsIncBy1 2
SimExtFuelTrans 2
SimHsiHeadingInc 2
SimFuelSwitchCenterExt 2
SimHSIModeInc 2
SimFuelSwitchNorm 2
SimHsiCrsDecBy1 2
SimFuelSwitchResv 2
SimHsiHdgDecBy1 2
SimFuelSwitchTest 2
SimHsiHeadingDec 2
SimFuelSwitchWingExt 2
SimHSIIlsNav 2
SimFuelSwitchWingInt 2
SimHSIModeDec 2
SimFuelTransWing 2
SimHSINav 2
SimHsiCourseDec 2
SimIncFuelSwitch 2
SimHsiCourseInc 2
SimFuelTransNorm 2So what’s the story?
The thing that got me super puzzled is that I found triple double duplicates in the BMS keyfile also, but this is not for this thread.

I just tried it on 4.34 but no keypress works. I checked the file and the call backs I entered are valid for 4.34.
Maybe something else prevents it operating in 4.34.Strange thing is that her ded and mfds work fine displaying the images and updates quickly.
