Permanent ExtMFD 2014-02-27

Tired of using AutoHotkey for External MFDs? Do you want every scenario to remember its own setup of External MFDs? This is the plugin for you.FeaturesIt saves and loads the ExtMFD setup in the scenario file:

[*]
It saves the position and the size of the windows;

[*]
It saves the MFD mode (but not its internal data, see "Limitations" section);

[*]
It remembers the vessel the MFD is locked to.



Limitations
Due to OrbiterSDK's limitations, the plugin does not:
[*]
save the internal data of the MFDs, which means that while the plugin does remember which mode is set (Orbit, Docking, NAV, etc) it won't remember the specific data; for this reason don't do your TransX / IMFD plans in the external MFDs if you don't want to loose them when you quit the simulation.

[*]
write the MFD mode name explicitly in the scenario file; it only writes the ID number; this means that removing and adding MFDs in the launchpad may reset some ExtMFDs to Orbit MFD.

Extract the files keeping the folder structure intact.
This addon replaces the default "ExtMFD.dll" file (there's a backup file inside though).Tags
