Um he' s using Velcro according to the post....

You could always tape/glue them onto the LCD if its going to be dedicated, Im working on the idea of doing a new stand that uses the existing mount holes but is designed to sit flush on the bottom of the screen probably attached with a bull dog clip.

At the moment I use books and the odd bit of stationary to hold it in place

No - I meant.. he has both MFD info showing from A10C ... all the other posts I've seen show how to code the export to two separate screens.. i.e. info from from the right MFD in the sim to one screen - info from the left MFD in the sim to another screen. Airdog has info from both MFD's in the sim on one screen.... I don't need to know about attaching thrustmasters bezils to a monitor!!... Can anyone help?

Below is my .lua file that is referred to from the options.lua file and is the one that outputs to the second screen. Please refer to this thread to learn how to set it up according to your monitors because unless you have a 1920x1200 main monitor and a 1366x768 secondary monitor my files below will not work for you. You have to make the adjustments according to your monitor setup. If you need help let us know the resolutions of your monitors..how they are configured (side by side or on top of eachother) and I can get you the numbers you need to make it work. But you really need to read the above thread I linked to to understand what is going on.

 

 

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('mmbetamfd');

Description = 'Two Monitor Config'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 328;

y = 1253;

width = 360;

height = 360;

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 1232;

y = 1253;

width = 360;

height = 360;

}

 

 

 

Below is my options lua

 

 

 

options =

{

["difficulty"] =

{

["padlock"] = false,

["easyRadar"] = false,

["miniHUD"] = false,

["birds"] = 0,

["optionsView"] = "optview_all",

["permitCrash"] = false,

["immortal"] = false,

["easyCommunication"] = false,

["map"] = true,

["units"] = "imperial",

["easyFlight"] = false,

["externalViews"] = true,

["iconsTheme"] = "nato",

["fuel"] = false,

["weapons"] = false,

["setGlobal"] = true,

["geffect"] = "realistic",

}, -- end of ["difficulty"]

["graphics"] =

{

["multiMonitorSetup"] = "mmbetamfd",

["color"] = "32",

["heatBlr"] = 0,

["resolution"] = "1920x1968",

["water"] = 1,

["fullScreen"] = false,

["visibRange"] = "High",

["aspect"] = 1.6,

["effects"] = 3,

["MSAA"] = 0,

["textures"] = 2,

["height"] = 1968,

["HDR"] = false,

["civTraffic"] = "medium",

["lights"] = 2,

["clutterMaxDistance"] = 229,

}, -- end of ["graphics"]

["views"] =

{

{

["mirrors"] = false,

["reflections"] = false,

["russianHud"] = false,

["avionics"] = 4,

}, -- end of ["cockpit"]

}, -- end of ["views"]

["sound"] =

{

["radioSpeech"] = true,

["cockpit"] = 0,

["volume"] = 0,

["headphones"] = 0,

["music"] = -100,

["subtitles"] = true,

}, -- end of ["sound"]

The below line (line 31 in the .lua file) in the options.lua has to be modified to match what you name the other file...mine happens to be "mmbetamfd" but it can be whatever you want to name it. The other mods in the option.lua can be done from the ingame GUI.

 

["multiMonitorSetup"] = "mmbetamfd",

["difficulty"] =

["cockpitLanguage"] = "english",

["units"] = "imperial",

["easyFlight"] = false,

["altTrimmingMethod"] = false,

["externalViews"] = true,

["iconsTheme"] = "nato",

["fuel"] = false,

["weapons"] = false,

["setGlobal"] = true,

["geffect"] = "realistic",

}, -- end of ["difficulty"]

["graphics"] =

{

["multiMonitorSetup"] = "mmbetamfd", <----you have to modify this

["color"] = "32",

["heatBlr"] = 0,

["resolution"] = "1920x1968", <----can be modified within the sim GUI

["water"] = 1,

["fullScreen"] = false,
