You may want to check your graphics card drivers to make sure they are up to date. Problems with drivers can also cause this type of failure.

Updated to 6.30 and extraction works, just not with 6.11. Problem solved.

I’m running version MFDE 6.0.1.1 on a networked computer, all other instruments extract perfectly, just no MFD’s. Worked fine in 4.33. This on Win 10 Pro 64bit 1809, with the latest Nvidia drivers installed as well.

I use https://www.command.com/3M/en_US/command/products/~/Command-Clear-Medium-Refill-Strips/?N=5924736+3294529207+3294737329&preselect=8719408+3293786499&rt=rud They work well, and leave no marks or residue on the monitor upon removal.

For moving the comms menu, you need to edit the menu.dat file located in your BMS install drive:\FalconBM 4.33 U1\Data\Art\ckptart folder. Add in the resolution of your triple screen setup, i.e. 5760 x 1080, then change the left and right side numbers to where you wish them positioned. As for the text chat, that is unchangeable without a code change from what I’ve read.

I can tell you from personal experience that the first round of Mig-29’s “spawn” at 30k. So considering his radar scan area, the OP does not have his FCR pointed in the correct elevation to detect the Migs.

@TeeSquare:

One more idiosyncrasy to add about Target GUI. If it doesn’t start quickly after hitting the run profile button, then it isn’t working correctly.

Sometimes the Target GUI launching and running profile window lists the white text quickly for the first few lines, then slows down, looks like it is thinking then displays the rest of the lines of text. It may look like is working. If you go into BMS and the axis and key bindings are all messed up then it isn’t working correctly. It is a good idea to always go into setup in BMS and check that the axis are correct before flying to make sure that Target is working correctly. Of course this depends on having set up the axis with a correctly running target to begin with.

If the text loaded slowly and the axis and key bindings are porked, don’t start resetting everything in BMS. It is a big waste of time because Target is not actually running correctly. Exit BMS, close the Target launching and running profile window and then close Target.

You can try to run Target again but I have never had any luck doing that.

What works for me is to restart or turn off and turn on my computer then try to run Target again. The text in the launching and running profile window needs to load quickly and smoothly for it to function properly. If it does that then you can start BMS and go into the setup window. It is really a pain to spend time setting up the axis only to find out that Target wasn’t working properly while you did it. Then try to fly on a different day when Target does start properly and find out that the axis and key bindings are all messed up again.

A short while ago, for about a few weeks, target started loading slowing again. I would have to restart my pc, sometimes more than once, to get it to load correctly. Lately it loads correctly every time. It is a mystery.

Running Windows 10 per chance? I’ve recently run into the same issue.

I have been a user of the TM Warthog setup for several years. I have had zero issues with either the stick or the throttle. Both provide a solid “feel” and accuracy. I use the TARGET software and haven’t had any issues with command input. As someone who worked on the F-16 Avionics for many years, it definitely took some getting used to the throttle, but now that I have, I wouldn’t be able to go back to the F-16 throttle. Having all the extra switches available at my finger tips is very welcome. No searching the keyboard to hit a key, it’s flip a switch and press on. AAR is a matter of practice…. lots of practice, and the warthog works just fine for AAR as mentioned above.

As with all things, it boils down to personal preference. Do you want to match the aircraft exactly, or do you want something that gives you more for about the same money?

Something you may want to look into, is that Windows 10 powers down usb ports. There are settings that can be adjusted to fix that issue.

With my GTX 1080, running 3 24" screens @ 5760 x 1080. I average 100+ fps with everything maxed in BMS. This is doing instant action at low level over land. Over the ocean with no land, was over 150+ fps. This was done in 4.33 basic. Not update 1.

The new Doom @ 5760 x 1080 averaged 85ish fps on Ultra detail. My SLI’d 770’s couldn’t handle that resolution on medium detail (Give you an idea of the power of a single 1080). Every game I have tried I’ve had zero issues with and play in the ultra detail if the game has it. So far, I’m very pleased with this card for the money.

If you have the 7 series or lower single or SLI’d card and want to know if it’s a good upgrade. I can tell you that a single GTX 1080 will handle your needs at resolutions of 5760 x 1080 or lower with ease. If you can afford it, I recommend it.
