Recommended Posts

Something got fixes in the latest 2.5.2.19157.408

 

"MDI's blank when trying to export to other displays - fixed."

 

(can't resize yet, I think)

 

I'm using triple screen and 1 screen underneath width = 5760 height = 2160

 

using the mods that specify a specific MFCD name in the Multipurpose_Display_Group *init.lua that translate to the <monitorsetup>.lua

 

 

Looks great

Know what the default name for the AMPCD for the lua?

 

 

":\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua"

 

..

try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_AMPCD")

I got it to work with LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD but the lines/font on the DDIs seems to thick and blurry. It is very hard to read. Anybody knows what to do with that ?

 

 

":\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\materials.lua"

 

 

 

dim Intensity

-- MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {2, 255, 20, 255} -- <<<

MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {65, 190, 65, 148}

 

 

 

and

-- MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] = {94, 202, 0, 255} -- MDI original -- <<<

MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] = {65, 190, 65, 148}

 

 

format is

- (R,B,G,intensity)

 

 

helps (get rid of the glow), too low will become transparent (~135)

Same problem here.

 

LEFT_MFCD

 

RIGHT_MFCD

 

These work like they are supposed to.

 

 

However I cannot get the AMPCD to show. I've tried the following so far..

 

F18_AMPCD

F18_MPCD

AMPCD

MPCD

 

 

Cheers,

Is this the only way to do so? After every update I have to redo and it´ll be more practical to have it like the DDI/MFCD´s in the monitor setup only. Maybe we simply have to wait.....

make your own JSGME mod

 

 

create directory in JSGME mod directory

add edited file

apply

before update revert

after update apply

 

 

is how I run my 10 mods

Thanks. Sounds easy but I didn't create an own one so far. I will give it a try. I use OVGME but should be similar, right? I simply need to use the correct folder structure?!

Yep.

 

<Modsfolder>\<name mod>\<dcs_sub_dir\dir\dir\dir\edited file>

 

and this will show up in your mod management prog

Good morning Pilots

 

A general Question, as i have decided to make now a simpit instead of using helios and i need to export various things like RWR, Fuel Panel and HSi

must i then go to the corresponding init.lua and add the following line with the corresponding text like ("F18_AMPCD") ?:

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_AMPCD")

 

 

Would it then just be ("IFFEI") ("RWR") ("HSI") ?

or ar the names different?

 

Thanks to all help

 

Cheers Evilfisher

 

@Xoxen we can do this when you are back in Teamspeak.

Guide to extract MFCD, AMPCD Kneeboard on the external monitors or tablet/iPad

 

I attached you the guide, both in Italian and in English, which combines all the different posts and the suggestions to extract the MFCD, the AMPCD and the Kneeboard on the external monitors. (without Helios)

It is still required a manual modification of the configuration of the screens.

Moreover, there are also two mods ready to be used. The Kneeboard one may need to be modified manually.

DESCRIPTION

2 Guides (English-Italiano),

2 lua examples of multi-monitor setup (Mie3Schermi.lua, Mie4Schermi.lua)

2 lua examples mods (_Bat Miei MFD ESTRATTI FA-18C, _Bat My Kneeboard)

Many thanks for this.

 

 

I have one problem, I am running 5760 x 2160 over four screens arranged in a T-shaped three-over-one (central) in three separate 1920 x 2160 viewports so that I get the instruments in the lower central screen. It is the best balance I can get for performance without using four 1920x1080 viewports. Of course that means that the image is being generated in the areas where I do not have lower side screens so when I use your method I get the MDI on the Tablet with the game background. Is there a way to black out the background. Also is there a way to include the buttons?

I think the only way to black out the background, is to exclude the MDI from the viewport of the game.

But the MDI must be included within the overall resolution of DCS.

I do not think it's possible to export the buttons too.

Could you send me your screen configuration file, your global resolution set in DCS, and an image of your four screens while DCS is running?

Thanks for the guide but it seems I'm missing something. When I put my personal monitor setup .lua file in my own folder (as per instructions) the name doesn't show up in the DCs config menu. Also putting the file in the main DCs folder has no effect?
