DCS World - MFD Mounting Issue Solved

[Lipfert]

Kameraden,

 

Tried numerous ways of mounting my MFD's and was not happy with either the position of them or they moved around. The guys at Monster Tech listened to a suggestion I had put forward awhile back and this is the result.

 

 

and

 

 

100% not going anywhere and I can quick release and store to the side as one unit when I do FPS games.

What a great set up, Lip!

 

Those MFD look great, and the fact that you can push them away when you don't need them is awesome.

I picked up a few sheets of black card stock paper. Which is thick enough for my MFD's. Then picked up a cheap label maker. Cut the sheets to size, radius the corners, label the sheets left/right and aircraft.  Works good and looks good. I can label both sides if I desire without them hanging up on the MFD slot. Also thick enough where you don't jam and bend them when inserting.

I wouldn't label them as buttons are context-dependent. The button meaning depends on what mode the DDI is in. 

 

Just get some hours, work the systems, get that muscle memory and you'll be doing it without thinking about it quick.

I have got one from when i played fsx.

Loopy,

 

I use this application: https://www.spadnext.com/home.html

 

Although, I had it working perfectly and just recently it messed up. Need to troubleshoot.

What edition of spadnext do you use for dcs

[Lipfert]

Loopy,

Home Edition, FSX/P3D. However be advised, it's messed up right now. Was working perfect, but I broke something and the Gear handle is not working at the moment (might be hardware).

 

Need to compare setup with Ewald, who also had it working.
