Display MFCDS in lower corners?

Just got some TM cougar Mfds, I have seen vidoes where an altered script file allows you to permanently show your MFCDs in the lower corners of your monitor. I am only using one monitor and would like to do this and mount the cougars on the monitor bezel. I have done some searching on this forum and am a little confused at what I am looking at. I have no experience with lua or script altering. Does anyone know if there is a posted file to download or can anyone explain an easy way to do this? Thank you

Use the attached file .

Copy it in your DCS install > \Config\MonitorSetup\ folder.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('MFCDs in lower corners');

Description = 'MFCDs in lower corners'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect;

}

}

 

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 0;

y = screen.height -300;

width = 300;

height = 300;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = screen.width -300;

y = screen.height -300;

width = 300;

height = 300;

}

 

UIMainView = Center

Than use this tool PixelWindow to exactly measure the Width/Height of the inside of your TM-MFDs while holding them on your screen.

 

Now open the "MFCDs in lower corners.lua" with Notepad++

and exchange every Red/Green number in this file (see quote above) with your measured Width/Height. (- ideally it's the same value for width and height , but this depends on used monitor and used aspect/resolution.)

 

Now the MFCDs should be in the lower corners and have the right size for your TM-MFDs when you select

"MFCDs in lower corners" in the "Monitors" drop-down menu of DCS.

 

Tip: Use Sticky Velcro to mount them on you monitor for easy on/off.

And use the fussy side on the corner that is directly inside the monitor , to prevent damaging the surface of your screen.

 

 

BTW: You are lucky to have this forum-name, otherwise I would have posted only a general link, without deeper explanation :P.

 

Welcome aboard!

Haha, deeply appreciated Peter. Very much

rep incoming!

LOL about the name thing !! Very funny

Does this work with current version??

 

The link does not work any more.

Yes. It still works. The link to PixelWindow is not required. It is just a nice tool for measuring things on screen. You can still just play with the numbers to get the size you want.
