shonist Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 i have a doubt. can i extend my view in a 2 monitor setups? like being in a 3 monitor setup, but only with 2, (of course, withouth the center view in the middle of both monitors) i mean, i want my main monitor as it is, but my 2nd monitor on my left displays more view on the left of the plane. hope that makes sense (not too good at english u can see haha).

Rocketeer88 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 find correct syntax for exporting Hey all, new to the whole exporting thing. managed to get both MFCDs exported and working in the A10C and the AV8B. Question though. Where can find the correct name for different displays in the cockpit? For example, I know if I wanted to export the RWR for the A10C it would be along the lines of RWR= { x = X y = X width = X height = X } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero.ger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 the Av8 does not have a dedicated RWR its in the MFDs.... 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketeer88 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I understand it doesn't have a dedicated RWR screen and that is an option in the MFD. I was just using that as an example. I guess a better question would have been how would I would export the analog clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newspeedy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 need some help, i use 2 F16 mfd's that stick to my left screen and 1 to my right screen. so i edited the Lua file like this, _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('2mfd'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Center = { x = 525; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1050; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.7; GUI = { x = 525; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1050; }, }, LEFT_MFCD = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 525; height = 525; }, RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2445; y = 0; width = 525; height = 525; }, } UIMainView = Viewports.Center LEFT_MFCD = Viewports.LEFT_MFCD RIGHT_MFCD = Viewports.RIGHT_MFCD I have middle screen to fly and on the left screen my left mfd and on my right screen offcourse my right mfd as seen in the picture NOW as you can see, i don't have a black background on my mfd's, how can i fix this, or what did i do wrong?

uscstaylor Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) For those of you that are having an issue with exporting the 2 MFCDs. Here is a really easy way to do it. Just run the program and you can drag and drop the displays where you want them...it will automatically set up the game: https://bit-shift.com/a10vcserver/index.html I'm using the 64 bit version and it works perfectly. Allows you to just drag the displays where you want them. It works perfectly with the AV-8B Hey Greek I have 2 Gullimot screens to use for my MFD's for the harrier, can you help me or send me a short install readme for this program. I want to give this a shot...Thanks man. Edited February 23, 2018 by uscstaylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscstaylor Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Can someone help me I have the program that Greekbull has from his thread, and I have my main screen and my 2 Gillimut 7 inch screens up and running.I also have in game this screen below: But what do I need to do to make these MFD screens show up in my 2 Gullimut screens. Is there a file I need to modify..Any help guys would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge55 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 @uscstaylor This should get you started. I don't know your screen size or the Gullimots (they look small) so I based it on my screen and a guess at what the Gullimots would fit. The sketch shows how the setup is planned out. You can place the physical devices how you want that is just how they are rendered. Unfortunately you do end up with some wasted space. Place the Lua here X:\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup X: is which ever drive you installed DCS to. Go to Options in game. Un-select Fullscreen in options. You can't run multi-monitor in full screen (unless something has changed) in DCS. Enter the new resolution in options (see pdf sketch) it should automatically recalculate the aspect ratio for you then select the new Lua from the drop down. When you hit OK the sim will shut down and restart with the new screen size etc. When you activate the MFCDs they should show up in the Gullimots. Tweak the x,y coord as necessary to fit them. Or drag them if that other program lets you. Hope this helps.Gullimot Setup.luaOptions screen.pdf [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 10700K OC 5.1GHZ / 500GB SSD & 1TB M:2 & 4TB HDD / MSI Gaming MB / GTX 1080 / 32GB RAM / Win 10 / TrackIR 4 Pro / CH Pedals / TM Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Your Right and Left MFCDs coordinates can't be right. It may something that Virtual cockpit software is doing, but I doubt it. To get an idea of how the X and Y coordinates are calculated, check out this post: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2616874&postcount=799 Also, IIRC, DCS didn't like negative coordinates. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnv2pt0 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Exported screens (to Liliput usb monitors) display in green scale when the screens inside the cockpit are rendered, but when they are only exported to the separate monitors, they are rendered in grey scale.

sharkfin61 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Anyone else having the same issue? When I exported the MFD data with DCS VirtualCockpit Server (https://bit-shift.com/a10vcserver/index.html ) for the A-10, everything was right in place and crispy. Switching to the Harrier, the MFCD displays on my 17" tft look a bit blurry and the left one is too far left, partly under the bezel of the monitor.

Sarge55 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 You can do that by remarking out a line in the Viewporthandling.lua Found here X:\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua Line 81, purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL, Change to, purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL, It does save some FPS I think, the only problem with this is it will not pass the IC if you fly online. If anyone knows how to implement this and be able to pass the IC that would be awesome.
