Map covering all monitors.


Tacom

Recommended Posts

I run a two monitor configuration and the F10 appears on both of them, so I have to switch off Helios everytime I want to check the map.

 

I thought it was a new behaviour until I checked A10 standalone version I realized I always had half of the map hidden.

 

Where can I tell it to stay in the main window?

Its on the wish list somewhere, it has been like that for a long time :(

 

maybe one day we will be able to put the map on one screen, until then we can only hope :)

Yep, its the only thing I know of that cant be fixed. Too bad as my awesome configuration would be in CA that I can bring up the map on my helios screen while hiding helios and keeping my in cockpit view on the main screen. That would make me happy!

Workaround :

 

Only workaround up to now is to use SoftTH with DCS -

 

SoftTH has the function to draw all content that is spread among other screens at your main screen by using a hot-key : [AppKey+S]

 

So you can jump in a A-10 and spread everything like usual - and when you change to a commander position - you can bring everything at a single screen without much hassle.

@ Tacom

But you will have to re-arrange your monitors/view.ports probably in another way (stacked) to get a satisfying result in your case.

Solved. For SoftTH to work you have to select Fullscreen in DCS World. After that the hotkey works flawlesly.

 

The solution is less than perfect because it squases a 1920x2280 render into the 1920x1200 so everything is flatened.

 

A good workaround whle we wait for a definitive solution. After three years it must be almost ready :megalol:

 

Thx

My vote for addressing this issue!

 

SoftTH isn't an option for me (I have a "Hard" TH :-). I add my vote (for what it is worth) to addressing this issue. It would just need the ability to direct the F10 rendering to a named viewport, like the other instruments and the 3D world view.

 

Applies to all the DCS modules, of course.

 

I can only hope...

 

Thanks!

+1 has this been fixed yet, or worked on?

 

Either fixing the map to display in the same space as "Center", or allowing us to configure the map viewport like Loophole suggested, would be perfect.

 

EDIT: (This issue is annoying because 40% of my map is offscreen, making it impossible for me to pan the map all the way to the right and see all the terrain. Also whenever I click the "Center on Me" button, the map becomes centered on some point not where I am, which is frustrating when I'm trying to find myself : )

Why is this thread under CA? Is this not a DCS World issue? After two years should this not be moved to the wish list?

This has been posted under DCS World wishlists and bug reports (including the multi-monitor section). At no time have we ever had any response to the issue (not even a "we'll get to it after EDGE is released"). This applies to DCS World as a whole, but it essentially makes CA unusable for many multi-monitor users in its current state.

Insane that this isn't fixed yet. I'm using Helios on my secondary screen and half the map is buried under that, making it impossible to use.
