Secondary screen for DCS: NS 430. Tutorial.

Hello mates!. Next I go on to detail the steps to ensure that those of us who have acquired the DCS: NS 430 module, can use it immersively and realistically through a tablet or mobile (clickable) or on any secondary screen. And not like an ugly pop-up pop-up that always ends up annoying in the middle of the screen.

 

Here is an example of what is intended to be achieved with this process: http://www.mediafire.com/view/pmy3fpf6vqqet4h/Garming NS 430.jpg

 

The first step will be for those who want to link a mobile, tablet or other analog Android device to their computer via Wi-Fi:

 

Download a program that allows you to configure the computer as a server and the secondary screen as a client. In my case, SPACEDESK, of which I leave you the link of the web page:

 

https://spacedesk.net/

 

 

After installing it, access the Play Store of your Android device and download the same application. Once the Server is activated on the computer, and the client on the android, you have the secondary screen ready. Now go to the configuration of your operating system to verify that it has recognized the screen perfectly and place it, preferably, to the right of the main one (I have not tried other positions).

 

The next step is to download the file that will have to be put in your DCS installation path, in the following folder: "dcs / Config / MonitorSetup /"

 

Here is the file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vwnohk...NS430.lua/file

 

Now, you start the simulator and go to the configuration options and you have to modify the resolution and screen sections:

 

In the Resolution section, put the new resolution that will have been created, which is a combination of the resolution of the two linked screens, in my case, the resolution of my main screen is 2560x1440 and that of the tablet is: 1280x800 and I gives the option to select this new resolution: 3840x1440.

 

In the next section, "Monitors", select the one corresponding to the file you have downloaded. I pass a photo of my configuration, so that everything is clearer:

Once the simulator restarts, you will see the screen poorly adjusted, something like this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/ydbj7xlpp1ksodr/ SCREEN%201.jpg

 

Now press ALT LEFT + ENTER so that the screen returns to its original format.

 

Now load any mission with the desired aircraft that is compatible with the NS 430. Remember to check its box in the "Specials" menu.

 

Once the mission is loaded and when you are in the cabin, press the shortcut to bring up the browser pop-up (by default ALT LEFT + SHIFT LEFT + B):

 

After the previous step it will seem that nothing has happened, because the pop-up does not appear, well now press ALT LEFT + ENTER and this will appear: http://www.mediafire.com/view/467q89...NTALLA%202.jpg

 

Now drag the browser to the center of the cabin, for example: http://www.mediafire.com/view/cclzg4...NTALLA%203.jpg

 

And then press ALT LEFT + ENTER again: http://www.mediafire.com/view/lz4gsd...NTALLA%204.jpg

 

And voilá ............... you can now drag the browser pop-up to the secondary screen (it will be black) and modify its size to your liking: http://www.mediafire.com/view/p2q3lw9s0x6t80c /PANTALLA% 205.jpg

 

 

 

Sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, the flash and my prints, hahahahaha; but there was very bad lighting in my room and I wanted the perspective of the image to be seen with respect to the monitor.

 

I hope I have expressed myself correctly in English and that the tutorial has been well explained. My native language is Spanish.

 

I hope it will encourage you to use the NS 430, which seems quite interesting.

 

Thanks also to CaptZeen: http://www.captzeen.com/helios/index.asp, because he is the creator of the file that makes it possible for the browser to work on the secondary screen. He did it to me and passed it to me after I contacted him on his Discord.
