chief Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hey all. I am trying to export my MFDs to external 800X600 screens. I can do it on a universal manner. But lets say I fit it for the A10, then jump in the AV8 or another plane, the MFDs sizing just doesnt seem right. Do I have to make a separate .lua file for each and every plane for it to fit properly? I don't want to me in a multi player server, then change aircraft and having to exit to main screen, change the lua monitor setup then join the multiplayer server again each and every time. I am guessing that each module has its own name for the MFD and I can put all of them into one LUA file. If they are all called LEFT_MFCD I guess I'm screwed huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derammo Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm also pretty surprised nobody has answered this. Either you CAN hack the various planes' view definitions to have different named viewports or you can't (at least not without triggering cheating detection.) Seems like someone would have figured this out long ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Chief. I had same trouble too. I needed to give a different name for Harrier's MFDs to display them with different size on other monitor(s). So, first, I edited MPCD_init.lua in "...\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\MPCD\indicator" folder. (Note: Integrity Check may be a problem because of this editing.) See line #12. I replace it as this: if monitorpos == 'R' then try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MPCDR") -- orig: "RIGHT_MFCD" else try_find_assigned_viewport("LEFT_MPCDL") -- orig: "LEFT_MFCD" end Now, I can enter specific values to display Harrier MFDs on my 2nd monitor, in "...\Config\MonitorSetup\mysetup.lua". (This code is a part of my lua file, not whole file and values are according to my monitors.) ------------------------- -- GENERAL MFD DISPLAY -- ------------------------- LEFT_MFCD = { x = 1970; -- LMFCD start pos. y = 333; -- LMFCD pos from top. width = 383; height = 388; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2443; -- RMFCD start pos. y = 333; -- RMFCD pos from top. width = 385; height = 383; } CENTER_MFCD = { x = 2862; -- CMFCD start pos. y = 300; -- CMFCD pos from top. width = 434; height = 434; } ------------------------ -- FOR AV8-NA HARRIER -- ------------------------ LEFT_MPCDL = { x = 1980; -- LMFCD start pos. y = 343; -- LMFCD pos from top. width = 366; height = 366; } RIGHT_MPCDR = { x = 2452; -- RMFCD start pos. y = 343; -- RMFCD pos from top. width = 364; height = 364; } Edited September 20, 2019 by Devrim Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 Super SuprimX | Corsair V. 32GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | Saitek X-55 Rhino & Rudder | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
