Default Re: LOVP and TB integration

Hi all,
Glad to hear people have been finding the profile useful. I'm very new to Touchbuddy -I'd seen it mentioned favourably on several different sim forums but had always dismissed it as I don't have a touch screen. I'm certainly pleased that I finally gave it a try -the active LOMAC plugins are fantastic.

I've been tinkering a bit more with my profile with the very handy toolkit (thanks Wild Bill) and I've come up with a new version. The first tab is the same as the one mentioned above i.e. payload, MCP and TEWS with a transparent background for use with Virtual Panel:


I've also added a Maps tab (a cannabilized version of the one from Zorlac's profile, redesigned for my 1280x1024 screen):


..a Keys tab which lists all the sim's key commands:


...a Manual tab which displays the FC manual:


...and a Training tab which shows TekaTeka's html version of all the training missions, along with links to movies of them:


To install the profile, download it here and unzip to your touchbuddy profiles folder. Then download TekaTeka's training stuff from here. Once you've downloaded all the training stuff and unzipped it you should have a folder called LOFC_Training (which contains a movies subfolder into which you should have placed all the movie files). Drag the entire LOFC_Training folder into your Lomac-DD-01 folder. Finally drag a copy of your Flaming Cliff's manual there too. The end result should look something like this:


Then just replace your LOVP.ini file with mine, and you should be good to go.

To use:
-Run TB in server mode on your main PC.
-Run TB in client mode on your 2nd PC and select my "Lomac-DD-01.tbc" profile.
-Run Virtual Panel on your 2nd PC, right click and select "fullscreen".
-ALT+TAB back to TB and the payload, MCP and TEWS will appear around the VP gauges. You can then click on the TB tabs to switch between the cockpit, maps, keys, manual and training.
Cheers,
DD
