      Hi!
      Have my .directb2s files in
      \Pinball\Visual Pinball\Tables\plugins\DirectOutput

      My DOFLinx.ini says: ( I have no toys, that is why the DISABLEDOF=YES

      DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=C:\Pinball\Visual Pinball\Tables\plugins\DirectOutput\Config\directoutputconfig.ini
      DISABLEDOF=YES
      PATH_FX3=C:\Pinball\Visual Pinball\Tables\plugins\DirectOutput\DOFLinx_FX3\
      PATH_FX3_B2S=C:\Pinball\Visual Pinball\Tables\plugins\DirectOutput\FX3_B2S\
      PATH_B2S_SERVER=C:\Pinball\Visual Pinball\Tables\
      PROCESSES=Pinball FX3
      PROCESS_TO_ACTIVE_TIME=1

      All i see when i startup FX3 games is a black screen with the message that the backglass is missing.

      Is there any trick or good tutorial that explain how to get this FX3 backglasses to work properly, would be very happy if got some help around this ;) Some guy told me to put the direct2bs files in the same folder as STEAM where the games is located but that didn´t solve the trick.

        last i setup pbfx2 its backglass was just a image or video that you tell your frontend to leave up on table load. i dont recall that has changed with fx3. dont have it so cant say for sure.

            IMO… don’t use directb2s files with fx3.  Like RandR suggests.  just have the frontend loop your backglass videos during gameplay.

            if you’re using the frontend to loop videos/pngs do NOT put anything in the steam folders of fx3…

              With DOFLinx you can have animated backglass (not videos but “rom controlled” b2s) like VP. DDH69 made all this working and made almost all FX2 + FX3 b2s files.

              I’m just tryin to get this working, but I’m a bit confused atm (I’ve never used DOF as I have no toys/external hardware).

                        hi,

                        by using PINBALL X, the backglass video disappear !  :cry:

                        backglass reposition is “OFF” in Cabinet option in the PB FX3 settings !

                        do you have a solution to keep the backglass video during the game, please ?

                                  The best thing you can do is post your question on the pinballx website

                                      With pinballx or any front in you should Be able to leave the video running when you’re playing the game

                                        As Outhere mentioned, post your issue on the pbx forum. Including logfiles and config files. Tom Speirs made some changes lately for fx3 I thought.

                                        And also nice people on that forum to help people

                                          but I cannot get them to run.

                                          Don`t know in wich folder to put them or if i should rename them.

                                          was trying to change my doflinx.ini – but nothing happend.

                                          Does anyone have a tutorial or good ideas ?

                                          THX for helping, so far !!!

                                            Do not rename them

                                            You have this DOF installed and working in VP?

                                            Take a look at all the sample InI files with the download And that will give you an idea how to set it up or use one of those and modify it
                                            Basically you can put him anywhere you want as long as you put that information in the INI file

                                            Don’t forget about that nice guide their comes with the download
                                            See here for lots of Info, Then stroll down
                                            https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showforum=104

                                            If needed Post your doflinx.ini file
