SOLD!

 

Hello all!

 

I'm selling my Cougar MFD set.

I still have the Cougar MFD's original packaging.

 

You can see them setup here, with the LCDs I used with them:

Would preferably sell them to Europe (less of a hassle with the post office)

If interested, please feel free to PM me.

 

Cheers!

Hi Piri,

I'm interested in knowing how you setup the monitors and everything to display correctly. Is there a tutorial you used or can you give me some guidance? Thanks!

 

Hi augustmarine.

I can give you a general explanation of how I did it - I don't remember the specifics anymore because after getting the Rift, I disassembled the whole setup and didn't got back to it.

 

But running it in DCS was pretty easy. Windows recognized the extra monitors as extensions of the desktop. All I had to do in DCS was go to options to choose the number and position of monitors and then edit a file (can't remember the name, but it had to do with monitors) with the resolution coordinates of each display. (I'm making it sound more complicated than it really is)

 

For instance, assuming I had a 1920 x1200 screen and I added both LDC displays, placing them at the bottom of the main screen. I would have a new total resolution of 1920 x 1680. So in that DCS file I would edit each in-game MFD to the display coordinates (x and y) of the real life LCDs. In this example, I would edit the left in-game MFD to be displayed in x=0 (extreme left) y=1201 (right below the main screen's final vertical line, but you may have to adjust a line or two). And then do the same to the right MFD. It has a little bit of trial and error until it's sorted, but it's nothing complicated.

 

Hope that's enough to get you going.

 

Cheers!
