Are you asking for FC2 or 3? This may be what you are looking for if its FC2 http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/node/15

Are you asking for FC2 or 3? This may be what you are looking for if its FC2 http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/node/15

its all about FC3 these days :megalol:

I'm interested in this point too. Is it possible to have a different view in a secondary monitor? For example an snap view from the Su-25T TV-monitor.

Yes, you can have it on 2nd screen. Works the same way as for a-10 and ka-50, uses "LEFT_MFCD" and "RIGHT_MFCD" viewports to render display. But, in order them to work, you have to press Rctrl+enter ingame.

Hovewer, for f-15 you can only output radar screen. I couldn't find how to make dsms or rwr work on 2nd screen.

Hi,

Could you please tell me how did you get the Su-25T TV-monitor export?

I tried by all means in FC2 and DCSWorld and I couldn't get it to work.

Thanks.

Works since dcs: world only. Have you ever tried a-10 or ka-50 on multiscreen? It works the same way - make monitor profile ( "RIGHT_MFCD" as a viewport for shkval), pick it in game options, press rctrl+enter ingame.

I dont use helios, i stick to "HawgTouch", so i dont know how does it works with helios.

Hi again,

In DCS-A10C I have the following file working properly:

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('3monitors');

Description = '3monitors'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1280;

height = 1024;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.25;

}

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 2240;

y = 444;

width = 490;

height = 490;

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1440;

y = 454;

width = 490;

height = 490;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

but when I try something similar in DCS World I'm getting a crash.

I tried with:

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('2monitors');

Description = '2monitors'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1280;

height = 1024;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.25;

}

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = screen.width / 2;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 2;

height = screen.height;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

with the same result. My monitors are:

1280x1024 the main one

800x600 the left one

800x600 the right one (I'm trying to use this one for Su-25T TV monitor)

Thanks again.

I have it working for the a10 & ka50 in dcs world 1.2.2

Im gonna try it for the su & f15 when im home which is in 2 hours

No idea why you get a crash. Mine works fine, however i have only 2 screens - main 1600x900, 2nd 1024x768.

If you use helios, try to launch without it, but make sure you are NOT in a fullscreen mode, otherwise game crashes.

_ = function(p) return p; end;

Copy paste this in a lua

Put your resolutions in the lua save it

Than load the new lua into dcs sp

And uncheck the full screen option

It will not work on full screen mode

I can work your resolution out ehen im home in 2 hours

This setup works for the a-10 & ka50

YOU'RE GREAT!!!!!!! It works!!!

I have to make some adjustments in the size and position, but it works very well. Main problem was that "full screen" was checked. Currently I have the TV-monitor in my right monitor. Is there anything else that I can export to my left monitor? LEFT_MFCD is blank all the time.

I tried in FC 2.0 and it is not possible.

Cool :)

well basicly everything is possible in the A-10

KA-50 im not quite sure about wat can be exported or not

FC-3 im still working on so about that i cant tell you

yeah thats up to you

unless you cant get it to fit im willing to give it a go for you

Which craft are you flying?

What is the file name and directory path to this config in?

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup

create .lua there and load it into dcs sp options

Thanks! Now I need to adjust the resolutions, but I think I can manage that!

thats easy once you see what it does

what are your screen resolutions?

I didn't know FC3 exported viewports, checking this out when I get home, thanks guys.

BTW - You should be able to stay in full screen if you use SoftTH. (Window mode will give you a hit to FPS.)

Lots of info so it's a bit of a read but worthwhile when running extra monitors.

Copy paste below into your .lua

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

the 27" center monitor is overlapping the second monitor about 1/4 of the 17" monitor.

 

 

Desktop resolution is 2560x1440 for the main monitor and 1280x1024 for the second.

 

 

It's not working right at all. Maybe it can't handle single 2560x1440 resolution monitors.

it shoud be able to hold that resolution

can you paste your lua file here

and a print screen of your display settings

so i gues its all working now?

here is a list of what you can add more to the A-10c

you do have to make it fit the screen depending of what you whant to have there

Nice list of stuff and I will try them out, thanks. Do you think think a second video card would help drive the second monitor? From what I heard in the past, DCS can't handle multiple or at least SLI cards unless they patched it to do so now.

 

These display outputs don't display for the F15 in FC3 in multiplayer. Bug?

a second videocard would always help

but only for these exports its not realy needed un less you want to use your pit on all your monitors but just for exports not needed

FC3 im still lookin for if there is a way to export the mfd's etc etc

pressing Right ctrl+enter will show the radar on your 2nd screen

so far thats all i know

It's a pity that you cannot export anything in FC2. You could export for example MFD, RWR, HUD,... Last night I was trying to do that but I couldn't. Only thing I got was a view expanded through 3 monitors.

Nice trick the RCTL+ENTER. I think I will use DCS-World's Su-25T for offline flights.

Did you buy a FC3 serial? Which are your impressions?

Thanks again for your support and help.

yeah i bought a FC3 serial

i like it its pretty fast compared to A-10, Su, KA

and its alot of fun

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=97285

for example escorting the a-10's when you expect a intercept by the other team

or when the KA's and the A-10s do their mission the F-15 can do air targets

I think FC3 is a Awesome Addon brings alot of fun however it is still in beta

so couple a things needs to be fixed

but hey thats what a beta is for right:joystick:

so I tried those other things like time and CDU but thats a no go!

so they have to be in a some kind of order? second monitor has 2 MFCD displaysand below it I want to have the CDU time and some other stuff!

but that is not showing up! only the 2 mini mfcd are showing up

No special order to place them try to copy paste the mfds out and try it only with the cdu and rwr i have all the commands showing on my screen so its all working

Maybe its lined where the mfds are

So yeah try the rwr and cdu only without mfcds

And start with 0 for the y axis which should br on top off the screen

tried that... black screen WTF!
