Oh wow that is tempting, cheaper than I could build it myself!

You think, I was going to price it up this weekend.

Was thinking what we said about reflections, if there wasn't enough space between the 2 glass panels for the combiner, then the front glass couldn't be a filter??

Like to get to bottom of this!

Hi,

I'm trying this mod with DCS 2.5.2 but it doesn't work.

I've extracted the files to the Saved Games\DCS path and choosed "Camera+HUD(on right side)" in game. But I can't see the HUD on my second Monitor.

I've also changed the Camera+HUD(on right side).lua to match my monitor setup but nothing.

Can someone please help me?

I want to use this mod to make professional screenshot of HUD for documentation.

Best regards

kal

I bought one of these. Construction is pretty solid. I bought to build a cockpit and thought it was a good price to try. the clear plastic comes covered with a paper like covering and grub screws for the glass in the uprights I have not put it together to try it out yet. But I was impressed with it. edited-I think the uprights feel semi rigid not rock solid

Is it possible to export HUD on a second screen\monitor (like MFCD or CDU) WITHOUT changing the size of the HUD symbology inside the cockpit?

Hi PeterP!

Is it possible to repeat your work, only for the Su-27 or MiG-29. I made a copy of ILS-31 with the connection of the LCD monitor. At the moment I am using a second monitor to duplicate IPV in mod 29

Thank!

I got this working on 2.7.8 by just adding this to HUD_init.lua:

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("A_10C_HUD", "HUD")

And then defining viewport with A_10C_HUD in MonitorSetup.lua. (not A10_HUD as in original post)

Thanks for reactivating that helpful topic.

Leave this line as it is:

indicator_type = indicator_types.COLLIMATOR

No worries!

This thread was very helpful.  I was able to make this work with the F16c  adding this:

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("F16_HUD", "HUD")

To  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\HUD\indicator\HUD_init.lua

Then in my test monitor setup file

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('HUD test');
Description = 'Left MFCD on the left and camera on the center'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 0;
          y = 0;
          width  = 2560;
          height = 1600;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = screen.aspect / 2;
     }
}

HUD =
{
     x = 5120;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 800;
}

how do you disable the hud on the actual projector screen?  alt-f1 removes the cockpit but leaves the hud, I dont see any other ways to remove it

Anyway,, small tip for HUD_init.lua editing.. Just comment the renderpurpose a HUD ONLY VIEW. this will prevent sim from rendering HUD in HUD ONLY VIEW.

Can you tell me more in detail?
