MFD's on 2nd screen

I´m interested too in shkval export. Any way to do this?

Having two displays is so usual, and maybe lots of beginners/tryers will like dcs series enough to buy a package later.

In fc2 same,but fc3 gave me hope,maybe we will be able to export some russian ac. mfds.

Pls help some competitive fellow.

Have a nice day all.

Read this thread from the first page, not from the last one.

as said by ZMEY-HS- me and some others explained the whole thing how to export in this topic have a read and give it a try

im willing to help if you cant figure it out

I must have missed the comment #6, with the image,(I read all this thread) but I can see only that Joy axes on Ctrl+Enter, shkval image is missing.

I think I can manage the monitor positioning etc, but see no shkval,

maybe I have no viewport defined for it?

Edit:

Guys It works! Just choosen Camera+LMFCD and it runs, now i have to fix pos. and scale, but it will be ok.

Thanks for care. Have a nice day.

Glad you got it working :thumbup:

I figured out that only on extending to right side of primary display works.

If main screen is in the right(win settings + lua) of the extension shkval not works(I tried always this way and thought it's not working,until I found that mentioned in a thread).

Hope it's helpful at least for newbies.

Ok I have a quetion, I'm not sure if that's what the last LUA files posted here were doing but is there a way I can have diferent viewports (MFD positions) for diferent aircraft? Without having multiple files that I have to keep changing when wanting to fly another aircraft, that is. If so what's the section header for the SU-25T?

Hi, no way to do that, imo. You can make some lua files and load them from the optios menu when you switch between different missions(planes).

lxsapper,

Check this out from PeterP (he is the god of all things multi-monitor)

http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/214771/

You are looking for a .lua file he calls "One file to rule them all". For me mine is set up for both Black Shark and A-10C. I'm at work right now otherwise I'd attach a copy for you.

Also check Mad Tommy's thread on Multi-monitors he is an excellent resource as well. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815

Sci2 has a great one there (made a copy for myself, thanks Sci2). If you are looking for one for just MFCDs and the Abris / Shkval here's mine.

One_file_to_rule_them_all.lua

here is my "one to rule them all file"

how ever i am not using the SU-25 and i have not bin busy with anything on the FC3 side apart from flying them

maybe others can use it see wat they can make out of it

Thanks guys, that is what I was loking for. Now if anyone can tell me how to add the SU-25T and FC3 planes there (still don't owe FC3 but soon I hope).

MFCD on a second Monitor.

I have three monitors, #2 is my center #3 is my left and #1 is my right. I would like to have my two MFCD's on #3. Resolution on #1,2is 1920x1080 #3 is 1280x10247 Ive racked my brain and tried for days to make it work but cant get it to work without crashing. If you guys could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it very much.

You have to uncheck fullscreen mode if you're going to span across multiple monitors. If you set a resolution higher than your primary monitor and leave full screen checked the game will crash launching.

you might whant to set your center screen on #1 mfds on #2/3

bit easier to setup in the lua files

you can easily switch the screens by dragging them in an other position in windows

Heres what I have so far, I cant seem to get my center monitor to center up the way I would like, any sugestions or something I missed. In game settings are set to 3200x1065 with ratio set automaticly.

x = 3200 / 2;

y = 0;

width = 3200 / 2;

height = 1024;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 2;

}

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 52;

y = 645;

{

x = 2587 / 3;

y = 645;

width = 1152 / 3;

height = 368;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Your total screen resolution should be 3968x1080 (unless you want to set it to 1280) cause of the smaller #3 screen is not needed

copy paste this in a new .lua file and see what it does

Unless you run Eyefinity group (where all monitors are seen as one) your main monitor (center viewport) HAS TO BE most top left monitor, so starting x coordinate for center viewport has to be 0 (zero)

Thanks again for the help guys muchly appreciated, works great and cant wait to hit the skys!!!

Maybe oneday I'd like to get the UFC and CDU on the same screen...but thats a battle for another day lol

Hi guys :)

This is my setup for A10C, Ka-50 and Flaming Cliffs.... MFDs on 2nd screen with .lua editing and Frames and buttons with HELIOS (i used profiles i found on the internet and modified them!). The screen ratio for the Ka-50 (shkval and abris) are a little bit messed up, because it uses the same settings as for the A10Cs MFD. But i am ok with this :)

If someone is interested, i can upload the files (monitor setup and helios profile) :D

Setup:

1st monitor = 1920*1080

2nd monitor = 1680*1050

For A10C and Ka-50 the buttons for MFDs and ABRIS are working, for Flaming Cliffs they are just show :joystick:

Yes, you can have it on 2nd screen. Works the same way as for a-10 and ka-50, uses "LEFT_MFCD" and "RIGHT_MFCD" viewports to render display. But, in order them to work, you have to press Rctrl+enter ingame.

Hovewer, for f-15 you can only output radar screen. I couldn't find how to make dsms or rwr work on 2nd screen.

I've read through this entire thread, and a couple others in an attempt to get my F-15's RWR on a second display... It looks as though it is not possible, is that still the case?

Hi,

We are talking about flaming cliffs 3 and not flaming cliffs 2, aren't we?

I tried by all means to export F-15's radar or Su-25T's Skhval but I couldn't. In DCS World there is no problem to export Skhval by pressint RCTRL+ENTER.

Regards.

Yes, FC3. Bummer... I'll keep wishing.

For the Ka-50 is it possible to show the schval without the abris. In my monitor config I dont list the abris but it keeps showing up.
