AdvDisp 2.00 Released

Featured Replies

Pete Dowson has just released version 2.00 of AdvDisp. It allows you to leave single-line scrolling messages such as ActiveSky's wx reports to remain on the original scrolling bar in FS2002, while multi-line stuff like Radar Contact goes to the AdvDisp window. That way you get to see both.Available at: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.htmlCheersBob(transplanted from Radar Contact forum)Here is the new features!1. An option is provided to capture "multi-line" messages only-that is those messages that deliberately contain "new line" codes (ASCII 10 or 13) in order to format text onto more than one line. Other messages which do not contain such formatting are left to be displayed by FS in its normal on-screen bar. This facility is primarily intended for use with Radar Contact Version 3 (RCV3), and allows RCV3 to be used with other programs also providing messages-providing that those other programs use single-line messages only, theirs will go to the normal FS screen instead of to AdvDisplay's window.2. The window can now be "docked" anywhere on the FS screen, provided there is a docked 2D panel part showing. In fact the only real difference now between docking and undocking is that a "docked" window will automatically hide itself when any view is selected which doesn't display the 2D panel part to which it is docked.3. Precautions are taken to prevent attempts to dock when no suitable 2D panel parts are docked and displayed, or when the AdvDisplay window is in an unsuitable partition. In these cases the Dock option is disabled (grayed out).4. If an attempt is made to dock to a panel whose PANEL.CFG file is read-only, a warning is given and the user is afforded an opportunity to remove the protection. The full path for the CFG file is given to make this easier.5. The undocked window can instead be "locked" in position and size, in which case it looks just like the docked window, with no title bar, but stays in place anywhere within or without the FS window, including positions on second monitors if desired.6. Almost all options are now available in both docked and undocked mode so that either can be used as desired. A separate INI file (AdvDisplay.ini)is used for the undocked option settings-this will be found in the Modules folder after AdvDisplay has been run. Furthermore, the options stored in a panel's CFG file are now removed if the panel is changed from Docked to Undocked, so that the older options don't persist next time that panel is used.7. After initial installation (with no INI file) AdvDisplay starts off disabled by default, provided that the initial panel loaded contains no docking facilities. Enabling and disabling can be performed in the FS Modules Menu, and this is remembered in the INI file for undocked use. Naturally AdvDisplay is still auto-activated for all panels with which it has been docked.8. Background colour matching now operates much more reliably. Attempts have been made to introduce transparency and translucency, which should be possible in Win2000 and WinXP installations, but so this has not been successful. It may be added later if it can be made to work.9. When the window is not actually hidden for other reasons (docked and no panel, auto-hiding enabled, or hidden always selected), it can be toggled on/off using a Hot Key. This hot key is assigned in FSUIPC (version 2.96 or later needed)-in its Hot Keys page-not in AdvDisplay.10. The problems whereby sometimes the AdvDisplay window retained the focus after access to its options have been fixed by automatically always re-activating the FS window and transferring focus to it.11. The Save option in the menu is removed. AdvDisplay now saves changes automatically. These go to the AdvDisplay.ini file in undocked mode, or to the current PANEL.CFG file in docked mode. Note that there's no check made for "read only" status in this case. The only time such a check is done is when you actually use the Dock option in the menu.12. Docking can be accomplished when any 2D panel part is showing and docked in FS, but the docking will be associated with the first valid panel part found. It is best to make sure that this is the "main panel" but you can have it associated with the "radio" or the "GPS" or other parts. The part name used for this is from the list in the PANEL.CFG file, and it is recorded in the section of the CFG file under the key "PanelPart". You can change this manually if you like (but not when that panel is in use!) AdvDisplay cannot be docked to panel parts which have been undocked from FS, nor to any 3D/virtual cockpit parts.=============================================

I'm using AdvDisp 2.00 and I can't get the weather to appear in the single green line display on the screen. The weather still appears in the multi-line window.Anyone else experience what I'm seeing? The post above claims the weather display can be separated. If so, how?Bruce

right mouse click the advdisp display, choose the last option that says "multiline only"
