Gliptal Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have a 24'' central monitor for the main viewport, and a right secondary monitor with the MFCDs, the RWR, the clock, and the CDU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have 2 27" monitors mounted one over the other. As mentioned above, 2 monitors set up vertically does let you see the 'dash' and the HUD at the same time, even when zoomed in so that things in the aircraft are roughly life sized, & if you look out the window you still are scanning the same volume of space as if you had the monitors side by side, just in a different format. It's true that if you set the instruments up exported to a second monitor you can also see them and the HUD - or the outside world, but 2 one over the other is much more immersive... Cheers.

unbreakable Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have a 24'' central monitor for the main viewport, and a right secondary monitor with the MFCDs, the RWR, the clock, and the CDU. How did you manage to set CDU on second monitor?

Gliptal Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 How did you manage to set CDU on second monitor?Had to download a small JSGME mod to get the exports to work, and then just set up a monitor config file. I'll see if I can find the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nu-NRG Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) I have two monitors once over another. Suits me nicely :D CDU and MFCDs are exportable by default. Essentially you need to modify your something.lua in Config\MonitorSetup _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('2scr Helios, LOZ prof'); Description = 'Two screen config' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777778; } } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 1406; y = 1200; width = 445; height = 445; } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 67; y = 1200; width = 445; height = 445; } CMSC_SCREEN = { x = 856; y = 1221; width = 230; height = 49; } CMSP_SCREEN = { x = 1075; y = 1270; width = 270; height = 70; } RWR_SCREEN = { x = 600; y = 1241; width = 175; height = 175; } DIGIT_CLOCK = { x = 480; y = 1910; width = 122; height = 122; } UHF_FREQUENCY_STATUS = { x = 635; y = 1645; width = 120; height = 30; } UHF_PRESET_CHANNEL = { x = 748; y = 1557; width = 30; height = 30; } UHF_REPEATER = { x = 656; y = 1775; width = 110; height = 30; } -- GUI = -- { -- x = 0; -- y = 0; -- width = 1920; -- height = 1080; -- } -- UIMainView = GUI UIMainView = Viewports.Center Some other things are exportable as well, but need some minor .lua changes.

Gliptal Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 when i export mfd's to right monitor, controls indicators have been placed very irrevelant locations like in the middle of the screen.You have to manually set their positions in the config.
