Help: Kneeboard exporting to MFCD screen


Recommended Posts

So I'm using the Cougar MFDs with LCD screens behind. I've got a simple monitor config that exports the left and right MFCDs to the LCDs... works great in the A10c and Harrier, no issues whatsoever.

 

However, if I fly a plane that doesn't have MFCDs (like the P51) the kneeboard gets exported to the the screen that would usually hold the right MFCD.

 

Is there a way to ensure that the kneeboard gets shown on the main screen? I don't want to change resolutions and screen settings every time I change modules if I can avoid it.

 

Thanks

You should post your monitor lua file so we can all see how it's setup. And how the monitors are setup in Windows Display Settings.

Monitor lua:

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('MFD SETUP');

Description = 'USB MON'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 3440;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 2.3333;

}

}

 

GUI=

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 3440;

height = 1440;

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 3560;

y = 20;

width = 560;

height = 560;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 4360;

y = 20;

width = 560;

height = 560;

}

 

UIMainView = GUI

I notice you left a little gap between the main screen and the MFCDs (120 and 240). I'm assuming your DCS monitor resolution accounts for the extra resolution? Maybe try it w/o the extra gap?

 

And in the past, I've had to change it from UIMainView = Viewports.GUI and UIMainView = GUI. Sometimes one works, other times, the other one worked. I guess you could give that a try as well.

Just left the gap to centre the MFD on my little LCD, yes it's included in the total resolution as well (5040x1440) I will try it without and also try to change the GUI variable. Thanks for the suggestions!

This program will make it much easier for you. You can put the kneeboard where ever you want and have it custom depending on which aircraft you fly/

Hi exray,

just one small remark which might increase your fps. Your small displays seem to be lower in resolution copared to the large one. I by myself have two small ones as well with a resolution of 1280x720 each. When I now see the resolution of your main screen of 3440x1440 it would help to put your two small ones on the right side of your main but on top of each other. So the overall resolution is reduced in width. When I sit at my Computer I will make a screenshot for better understanding. At your config DCS calculates the area where no display is (underneath your small ones) as well. Putting them on top of each other reduces this area. I hope this is understandable.

 

Edit: see attached picture. For me there was a difference in FPS

 

Take care.
