Moving the axis view window(RCTRL+Enter)

Is there a way to move that little red window showing the axis when you hit ctrl+enter)?

 

It's possible to move the radio menu, i'm guessing the same goes with this window...

 

Cheers!

Thank you for the reply PeterP.

 

The linked post has wealth of information but i'm still looking at how to move the axis window (RCTRL+Enter)

Found the files that defines the Controller indicator but didn't played around with the values - as I have no problem with the the current position (Means:I don't have to use it because I use a FFB controller and I always know how much trim I have applied.) - but you can have a try.

 

Have a look in this folder , may be you will find a way to move it :

OK, Pitbull- You are a lucky guy!;) - I had a some time on my hands for a deeper look - and I found the right triggers that are responsible for the placement of the control indicator in the cockpit-view. :)

(BTW : I took me only 7min to find the right lines..;) be warned that will also change the position of the CTRL-Indicator in the "HUD-only" view")

 

... here we go:

 

 

First go to

DCS:BlackShark 1.1.1.1:

\DCS Black Shark 2\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\ControlsIndicator

 

DCS: A10C 1.1.1.1:

\DCS A-10C\Scripts\Aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\ControlsIndicator

 

than open

ControlsIndicator_page.lua

with a proper Editor (>>> Notepad++)

CTRLindicator.png

 

 

Than edit the size in line #14

>> local size = 0.15 -- 0.30 nearly doubles the width/height of the default one

and position in line #43

>> base.init_pos = {X-position,Y-position} -- both values can be decimal and negative

 

 

I made some quick testing and instead of posting lots of pictures that show nearly the same; I copied each different position into the same screen.

 

I made notes which values are used for each position.

Now you should know enough how to create your own desired spawn point of the CTRL-Indicator.

Keep in mind than you have to use different values on diffident resolutions

(...Up to now I not fully aware what exact logic triggers the spawn-point.

But up to now I can say that when moving the indicator (size 0.15) from x0 to x1 -it will equal 384 pixels and all values are bound to the centre of the XYjoystick position cross.).

 

 

 

See...

i'm guessing the same goes with this window...

 

Cheers!

Its a whole different thing compared to moving the Radio-menu :P

Tip:

First set the wished Size - and than place it where you want it. - Because resizing it will change the relative position again , and you have to start over again.

This works fine in the current version of World.

 

For the Ka-50 the file ControlsIndicator_page.lua is in

 

<install path>DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator

 

Thanks again PeterP. :thumbup:
