Hi Gadgert_1969, I've just tried MovingMap on different online servers, and it was working normally. Does your app work in single player?

Hi firstly just like to say thanks for the map its really good and really helps so massive thank you for taking your time.I don't know how to get growling sidewinders server to let me use the map. I have it installed on my pc on a second screen and not sure how to make it work.
Cheers
Bergison
Hi Liam, thanks!
Growling Sidewinder has set his servers 'Allow object export' permission to 'no'. That means DCS is not allowed to export any data, so DCSMovingMap is not working. There is no way around this unfortunately.

Hi bushnerd, I've been looking into this for some time, but the map api I am using has no native support for showing the map north-up. If if find a workaround for this, I will add this option.

Hello i am trying to install this application but when i coppy the 2 folders into the dcs folder i do not see the options in game. What folders do i put then into
Bergison
Hi Oii29, make sure you copy the files to C:\Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta and NOT to the main DCS folder.
You need to copy both folders: Mods\Services\MovingMap and Scripts\Hooks

Hi, I carefully folowed the instructions to install the MovingMap and Hooks folders in the correct DCS folder under C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS, but I don't see any Movingmap entry in the OPTIONS>SPECIAL menu. I checked the position of the folders, tried to restart DCS, but the option doesn't appear as I saw in some screenshots. I have Windows 10 and recently updated DCS. Do you have any suggestion?Thanks.

Hi,
Same here. It worked perfect before last DCS update.
Bergison
Hi, I also did the latest update and the Specials Tab for MovingMap is still displayed on my system. Could you please check if you have other hooks installed (like Tacview or SRS) and if they are still working?

Should Afghanistan map work? I was using it online the other day and it seemed to keep crashing.

I should have done this first, but tested this in single player and Afghanistan worked fine. Perhaps the server I was on was not exporting the data? DCS log has '2024-07-21 01:14:53.215 ERROR LuaHooks (Main): [string "C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Hooks\movingmap-hook.lua"]:57: attempt to perform arithmetic on upvalue 'lTime' (a nil value)'

Hello!!! I just wanted to thank you for making this app! Its absolutely amazing and I have not had any issues!!
My buddy though, has not been able to run the app. He followed all the steps, including the windows firewall setup as well. When he loads the game, and goes into multiplayer, the map loads, but then goes to DCS data not available screen.
What could be the issue and/or a fix for his situation?
Thank you in advance!!!!
Bergison
Hello Mikhail, does he use MovingMap via a network? Android or Windows Version? It could be that the network transfer speed is low, or the signal is weak. Let him check if MovingMap works locally (on the same PC as DCS) in the Windows version. If it does, then the export from DCS is OK and it is an issue with the network.
Mikhail
He will try that! Also, does it matter where the installation folders go if he is running Steam edition of DCS?
Mikhail
Hello again! My buddy just tried single player and the map works. It still does not work on multiplayer. Any suggestions?

Your software is just what I needed to stop disorientation when flying warbirds. F10, takes the attention away from what I need to do: Aviate; Navigate; Communicate. When Navigate is a quick glance to your moving map, that'll do me just fine :-)

Can be used in single player games and multiplayer servers that allow data output. But when entering a server that does not allow data output, display no data from DCS. According to the description, should he at least display the map and my own location?. And after exiting the server, entering any task will display no data from DCS
Bergison
Hi MaFut, if the Server does not allow any data export, MovingMap does not get any position, not even from the ownship, so it can't display a map.
I will have a look at the code to see why it does not get data after changing Servers.

Hi Eric, MovingMap is downloading its maps from online sources. Do you run the App locally on your PC, or via a network device? Please check if you have internet connection (and permission) on the device running MovingMap.

Hello, very good software, however as of today only the Windows version works for me but it does not connect with my Android version, a few days ago it worked but now it no longer works, I checked the IPs and everything is fine, any solution please thank you so much. I have the free version, before purchasing I want to make sure everything is fine, or do I need to purchase for it to work?
Bergison
Hi Gonzalo,
it could be that your Android App updated automatically to the latest version, while you still have the old Windows version. The latest update requires you to change the movingmap-hook.lua file in your SavedGames/DCS/scripts/hooks folder in order to work.
You can find the file packed in the Windows Version zip file on the Download page of this website.
Let me know if that solved your connection problems!

Hello, As sent via mail the android FULL version is not receiving data from dcs. Export is working fine because the windows version is receiving the data. The app on android mobile has no restrictions on internet access.
Thank you
Bergison
Hi Jerry, could it be that the entered IP address does not match that of your tablet? Also make sure that DCS and MovingMap have in/out network rights in Windows Defender.
Jerry
I have already tested installing the windows version of Moving Map on a second PC with DCS running on the primary machine and all is working great.In order for that to work, the IP (static and of course a different one than the tablet IP) is correct and firewall needs to have in/out rights in WD. Anyway is not working even with WD disabled at all.
Tried with different tablets. Ping is working and is fast from pc to tablet and viceversa.
Tried uninstalling. Tried the free version. No luck.
I have Helios, Dcs NAV and UFC, Spacedesk, Dcs Util, Matric, DCSFP, TrackIR, Vjoy running in background. Tried disabling them all but some services could continue running. Could there be any known compatibility issues?
Svnsn
Same Problem here....Moving Map on Windows is running, but not on Tablet (2 different Tablets tested).DCS and Moving Map are added to WD inbound and outbound Rules.Port 50000 is opened in Router-Software (exactlty like i needed to open 10308 for DCS).IPs are correct; i can Ping the Tablets. Tablets are showing "No data from DCS".I found out that Port 50000 is not opened when running DCS with Moving Map. Checked that with canyouseeme.og/ yougetsignal.com.
From hosting DCS Multiplayerserver i know that Port 10308 is only visible/opne when the Server is running.

Hi Morphine, the LAT/LON values in parenthesis () are already given in Degrees Decimal Minutes, although only to two decimal places. I could change that to three if needed.

For you VR users, I was able to bring Moving Map into VR using the excellent Open Kneeboard's Window Capture function. There is no noticeable performance hit. I don't have a tablet so I'm not able to manipulate the Moving Map settings/options which I guess is additional reason for key and button binding functionality.

App should should dynamically scale for each display that they're running on.

Hi there!

Anything else I need to do?

Hi Stephan, don't edit the .lua files! Enter your ip in the 'Special' > 'MovingMap' tab within DCS. If it still does not work, check if any Antivirus/Firewall/WindowsDefender blocks network traffic.

There's no map it's just a blank white background with no markers either. Any idea how I fix this?
Bergison
Hi DragonSoulkin, this sounds like MovingMap cannot find the folders with the symbols and maps in it. Did you maybe relocate the DCS_MovingMap.exe? It has to be in the same directory as the /g and /map folders to work. Please check and report if that solved your issues.
DragonSoulkin
Yeah it was the executive file. I moved it to the desktop and that was it. Thanks.

posted on 08.8.2022 at 2:44
I'm loving this program, it works great but I'm wondering if I can replace the Caucasus base map with a different image? Are the coordinates/scale of the basemap hard coded into the executable, od is there a way I can enter the lat/long of the corners of the new image into the program so it knows how to scale everything? If not, can I just use a different image if I ensure that it has the same dimensions and coverage area?
Bergison
Hi Andy! As you correctly assumed, the map size and reference coordinates are fixed in the code. You can replace the maps in the '/map' folder of the Windows version as long as the new image is of the same type (JPG), size (pixels x by y), extent (lat/long) and has the same filename. If any of these values differ, the map will not be loaded or objects on it will be at the wrong position.
Andy
Would you mind sharing the coordinates of the corners of your Caucasus map?
Bergison
Andy, you can easily read the coordinates from each map. Every lat/long degree line has its label to it. The top/left corner of the Caucasus map for example is at N 47° / E 035°.
Morphine
Are these instructions still valid? I do not have a \maps folder. Just a \cache folder with little map squares.

Hello guys I have a problem with the android version....the app is working perfect with the windows version but I can't connect it to my android...I changed the ip but nothing happens
Bergison
Hi Sharky, could you be a bit more specific? Is the app is running but has no connection to DCS or does it not run at all? If the app is running but says 'offline' then try to grant network access in your android app settings on your device, your router and also in Windows firewall. Let me know if any of this helped.

Hi. Just tried your software. Excellent idea and than you for making this.
A question though - I changed the display mode to fullscreen and can't find them again. How do I enter options?
Would be awesome if there would be some different backgrounds available or map with lower contrast to improve readibility.
All the best,Roe
Bergison
Hi Roe, for the fullscreen issue, are you referring to the Windows version? If the app dissapears in fullsscreen then this would be an issue with your screen layout in Windows. MovingMap should have no problem running in fullscreen.
The map contrast is a compromise between readability of map items and DCS objects. I will try to make this adjustable in a future update.

Hello,It seems to be a great software, but I cannot make it run online.There is no visible Moving Map Icon in OPTIONS menu.I did copy folders to my DCS directory as manual says.Thank you for your help.Andrzej
Andrzej
I did not read instructions carefully; it has to be on different computer then DCS is running.
Is it possible in the future to be able to run it on the same machine? I have 2 monitors setup.
Thank you.
Andrzej
Bergison
Hi Andrzej, MovingMap can of course be on the same computer as DCS, there is just the option to run it on a network if required.
You have to put the 'Mods' and 'Scripts' folder to the DCS Saved Games folder on your DCS computer (usually found at C:\Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\DCS[.openbeta]\). NOT the DCS folder on your 'programs' drive.
Let me know if that solved your issues. If not, we'll find another way!

Hi shan_aya, the current version does not allow keybinds for functions, sorry. I can include that in a future release.

Hi, this is just what I've been looking for!
As I only have an iPad though, is the server accessible through a browser, like with LittleNavMap?Then I could just open a browser window on my iPad...Thanks,
Toby
Bergison
Hi Toby, no - I'm afraid this is not possible. MovingMap is a standalone software/app and not a webserver. But I am working on an iOS app release. Just never did this before and need to figure out how. Stay tuned!

Bergison
Hi fasu, thanks for your post!
Yes, I still want to release a iOS verison as well but can't find the time to do so at the moment.
The current maps used are a compromise between app size / performance and map resolution. I have an idea of how to use higher resolution maps without slowing the app down or making it too big, but that would require a lot of work as well.
So WIP on both your topics, but it will take some time.

Hi, I've got a problem with kneeboards in the Android version. It doesn't work any of the images I've tried. They are all jpg, granted all permissions and tried several folder locations. Is there any particular specification for the image that I can try? Like size, resolution. Thanks in advance.
Bergison
Hi Santi, are the images displayed in the browser and do not open, or are they not even shown in the browser? In the former case, try to reduce the image size/resolution. MovingMap is sometimes unable to open large images on some older tablets.
Santi
It's something weird, now seems to work, after being the tablet off most of the day. The original problem is that the images are not shown in the browser. I'll be watching if the issue come again. Thanks for your quick answer.

Bergison
Hi Juan, have you followed all the steps described in the Download section for the Windows version? (This is needed for the Android version as well as it enables DCS data export). If so, please check the hints given in the Troubleshooting section (maybe a firewall or Windows Defender is blocking data transfer). Let me know if problems still persist.

Doing an investigation in to software that can act as a kneeboard for dcs but more user defined, i see you mention it in you latest release what form is it? Is it one i can add my own pages to and book mark inderviduals?
Bergison
This Version has an integrated picture viewer. You can add pictures (of charts, procedures, checklists...) to a folder on your device and use the app as an electronic kneeboard. To try it yourself, install the free version for the Caucasus map. It includes all features of the full version.

Thank you for this amazing app! I'm quite happy with the current features although I would love if a couple of extra features were available in the future:- I often fly multiplayer missions with some friendsz, and being the mission designer, I like to replace the original map used by the app with an edited version of mine, where I add points of reference, notes, marks etc. Unfortunately this is impossible to do with the android version as the map images are integrated in the app, therefore it would be amazing whether the app could be instructed to import external maps instead of using the standard one.- it would be amazing to import (or manually add) the location of bullseye, and being able to obtain the bearing/distance of a marking point relative to it
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Bergison
Hi Kombucha, thank you very much for your ideas!
I am going to try to make custom maps importable with the next android version, but can't promise that will work.
I have tried to include the missions bullseye already, but could not get it to be exported by DCS. Would have to include a manual entry...

Hi again! i noticed that the ground units show for couple seconds on map then just dissapear and remains an x at its position, how i can fix this
Bergison
Hi! Units are replaced by an X symbol, if their data has not been updated for more than 10 seconds (eg they have been killed or have crashed).
On slower networks or in missions with a lot of units, this can happen even if the unit is still alive, just because their data takes more than 10 seconds to update.
Are all your units being replaced by that X symbol? And do the Xses stay or do they change between unit symbol and X? There might also be some other program or firewall restricting your network traffic.

Bergison
Hi Bingo Fuel! Thank you for your message. I have installed the new version from the PlayStore myself now on several devices and always get a good connection. Please check if you have set the correct device IP in the DCS Special Settings and let me know if that solved the problem.
Bergison
Bingo Fuel, I have to correct myself: I just found an error that could cause your issues: please download and install the new window version (2.6) from the download section of this website and copy the (also new) movingmap-hook.lua file to your DCS Saved Games directory (goes into Scripts/Hooks).

thank you! working as intended now! Very nice imporovements!

Hi,
Congratulations for your application which works very well
Just a question about the units displayed or not.
The option "allied only" is activated for the F10 view in the mission editor.But all friendly and enemy units are displayed in your application.What did I do wrong?
Thanks
Bergison
Hi Tripack, the map view options only work in multiplayer. In singleplayer, all units are exported by DCS. At the moment, there is nothing I can do about that, sorry.

Hi pickle,
yes - the Marianas map is planned to be included in a future update. But at the moment I don't have too much time for developing and also only very few people seem to have interest in buying the full version with all the maps.

Hi Morpheus, as explained in the manual you can access the settings by clicking on the "connected" infobox at the top-center of the map.

Hi really looking forward to using this but cant get to work ive copied the folders into the right places i think but keep getting no map showing.
Bergison
Hi Chris, sorry to hear you got troubles getting DCS MovingMap to work, but no worries - we'll sort this out!
If you see a message saying "no map" than you might have got the old version. Make sure you download the new one from this website. It shows the Caucasus map on startup, then detects the actual theatre as soon as it has a connection to DCS. So in the new version, you should always see a map.
If you copied the folders to their correct position, then you should have the DCS MovingMap Option in the DCS settings menu. Do you? Have you entered your devices IP adress there?
Let me know if these steps helped.
Chris Perkin
Thanks for the prompt reply yes i have the option in DCS but still get the no map showing it says version 0.22 in the top left i also think the wlan thing is causing me some confusion
Bergison
OK, that's what I thought. You have installed the OLD version if it says ver. 0.22. Please download and install the NEW one from this website here and you should be good.
What exactly confuses you about your WLAN?
Chris Perkin
Hi buddy got the right one now many thanks im not sure about the WLAN thing im trying to connect a samsung tablet to my computer but im on on wlfi.its not picking up the tablet must be missing something
Bergison
If the tablet is in the same network as your main computer, then it should work. DCS MovingMap tries to find out your devices IP adress and shows it on the settings screen (click on the "connected" sign at the top center to get there). Enter this IP adress in DCSs Options IP field.
Chris Perkin
Done that bud it gives me the ip add and it ties it in with what it sys but on the tablet it say offline?
Bergison
OK, first lets find out if your DCS can export data. For that, enter your DCS computers IP and launch the Windows version (DCS_MovingMap.exe). If this also shows "offline" then check if something on your computer restricts network traffic (e.g. antivirus, Windows Defender ...).
If the Windows version works, then make sure you entered the correct IP of your tablet. This is how you find out your IP:
1) Go to Settings >> Wireless & networks/WLAN, or Settings >> Network & Internet >> Wi-Fi.
2) Tap on the Wi-Fi you are connected to, then it will show the network info including signal strength, security, MAC address and IP address.Enter this IP in DCS Options and give it another try.
