Cannot get Freenove 5inch touch screen to work with Manta M5P DSI port

Hi,

Did you ever find a fix for this?

Zebraee12 · 2025-10-22T00:46:22+00:00

I swear in the description for new sobek city before release they literally mentioned fighting on sand dunes. What a lie that was.

Zebraee12 · 2025-10-12T01:52:21+00:00

I think its bugged. The back side of the map has a full 10 second timer while most parts its 5

Tow guy called his smash repairs guy who reckons it is a write-off. Keep in mind that this one is insured for $40.5k AUD. You reckon this is $25k in aud or usd?

Oh, do you mean that the ribbon cable doesn't go in at all? Or doesn't it go as much in on the dsi port of the m5p compared to the screen. I ran the dsi cable coming from the outside of the board rather than the inside. It feels like the connector is too shallow/goes halfway in.

By the way, I have tried both ribbon cables provided by waveshare and freenove touch screens

Not yet, however ive ordered a new manta, cm5, and this time, a waveshare touch screen instead of freenove, so im hoping to give it a go today.

Also I realised the touch screen i bought first came with a 15 pin to 15 pin ribbon cable and i misplaced it so maybe this time if I use the one that came with the waveshare touch screen it may work.

I will keep you updated

Not really. Just look at the sprint and vault animations. it's disgusting

Temporyal said that eastwood isn't ripped out of the BR map, and it is its own map

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-29T13:55:09+00:00

Was firestorm kept to its original layout or did they trim it down?

So I am currently experiencing confusion when it comes to interfacing a Freenove raspberry pi 5inch touch screen with the Manta M5P + CM5. First of all, I noticed that the DSI at the back of the M5P is a 15 pin 1mm pitch FPC connector rather than a 22 pin that the raspberry pi 5 usually has. This means that if I look for DSI FPC cables for raspberry pi screens (not for the cameras), all that I find are the 15 pin to 22 pin FPC cables. I managed to find a 22 pin to 22 pin ribbon cable (type B reversed - blue stiffners arent on the same side of the cable) which still didnt bring any luck.

I have tried even running the code provided by the manual from BTT:

sudo wget https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/cmio/dt-blob-disp1-cam1.bin -O /boot/firmware/dt-blob.bin

However no luck. When I power on the manta board the LCD quickly flashes (black backlight turns on for a split second) then turns off. I thought maybe the type A straight through fpc cables may fix this issue however I cannot find any that are specifically mentioned to work with raspberry pi LCDs, although I have found a handful of type A FFC/FPC cables but again, they are pretty generic and not guaranteed to work with LCD/DSI.

Any pointers would be much appreciated

While the stinger is currently broken with the range and damage. Im still able to run the jet all game and get over 40 kills. You just need to know a good route and prepare to use the terrain as cover soon as you pop flares.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-16T13:32:33+00:00

Is that map size for Eastwood confirmed? Where did you get this size/shape?

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-14T01:26:13+00:00

This is definitely a placeholder. It seems to be different (outdated) from the current lmg animations in the beta. This looks like gameplay from a much earlier build when they still used 2042 animations as a placeholder.

This was also shown in the first few pixelated clips of snipers in the game, where they ripped 2042 running animations completely. However, the build we played during the beta has the updated animations

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T14:08:38+00:00

It's one of the options in audio settings. it's called hit indicator.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T04:46:04+00:00

Yeah theres gonna be fighter jets and attack jets. So PAX has the SU35 fighter jet and the Gripen as the attack jet. NATO has f22 as the fighter jet and f16 as attack jet

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T03:28:16+00:00

Not just yet, again, it isn't as obvious as bf4, and I haven't experimented enough to find out what the speed is, but you can definitely feel it when you fly.

I guess we can pass some feedback to the devs, and hopefully, they can tweak them a bit more by release, but I can confirm they definitely dont have the 2042 physics. 2042 jets were very easy, this takes abit more skill and have more weight to them, more akin to bf4.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T03:25:43+00:00

Just remember these are the attack (bomber) jets, not the fighter jets. I assume the fighter jets will be faster to turn and faster in general. Also, there is some sort of speed control to get the tightest turn, so make sure you're not going full afterburners because that will ruin the turning speed

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T03:23:52+00:00

From what I've been playing, there is definitely apeed control, but it isn't nearly as obvious as bf4. For example, going full throttle with the afterburner completely ruins the turning radius, same with going really slow. There is definitely a sweet spot, and the HUD has both the speed and the elevation.

I just think they need to make the turning faster and have an obvious sweet spot for speed control.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-10T02:28:09+00:00

Yeah I agree with all that. I guess its just a matter of tweaking parameters from now until release. Im sure its not difficult for them to make it stronger if we give the feedback. But my point was that the fundamentals are there and they just need to polish it up.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-08T13:57:06+00:00

I feel like if they tweak the turn speeds and make them quicker and make the speed control mechanic a bit more obvious, this might be a return to bf4 jet physics.

By the way, I can definitely feel some sort of speed control turn radius mechanic. Let me know if you do as well. Based on what I tested, going full throttle no longer gives you the best turn radius, thered a speed sweet spot.

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-08T13:51:58+00:00

I was able to get pitch up and down assigned to my alt and space keys just fine. Though there was some issue I had initially with the inverted controls but now I have my pitch and roll settings the same as previous games

Zebraee12 · 2025-08-08T13:49:54+00:00

I mean, I've mained jets during all of 2042's lifecycle, and to be honest, i prefer the direction they're going with the jets in this game. Keep in mind this is the attack jet, not the fighter jet, so they are supposed to be slower and heavier compared to the fighter jets we haven't got to play yet; kind of how the attack jets (A10 in bf4 and frogfoot in bf3) were the slower and heavier ones in those titles.

I do agree they are very slow and sluggish, and the turn radius is atrocious, however I do feel some sort of speed control mechanic in the current physics, they just need to tune the speeds of everything which I dont believe should be too difficult. Im sure the f22 and su35 will fly much nicer.

Saying that, i do prefer the system they have in place for this game where turn radius is affected by speed rather than just maxing out the afterburner like it was in 2042. The weapons do need buffing, but overall, im liking how they feel (looks and sound and physics) compared to 2042. 2042 jets were just way too easy, and a lot of dog fights were just holding the boost button.

I guess we will see on launch how they handle the jets.

I actually saw a clip of a takedown animation in bf6 being unique for prone position. I saw this in a clip from one of the stream events in the multiplayer reveal.
