I'm not sure what's wrong here as this seems pretty basic. I have a 1920x1200 primary monitor with a 1280x1024 to the right of it. I am new to this multi-monitor setup, but I think I set it up all correctly as you can see below. (I followed the MonitorsSetup.lua Dummy Guide) But when I load a Ka-50 mission I get DCS.exe crashing every time I try it. I have set the resolution in graphic options to 3200x1200.

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('My Settings');
Description = 'My configuration'
Viewports =
{ 
     Center =   -- This is the Camera of the rendered in-game world.
                -- What you see and everything behind the next bracket is controlling to this view-port.
     {
          x = 0;  -- Left/Upper corner will start at this X Point inside your set-in-game resolution.
          y = 0;  -- Left/Upper corner will start at this Y Point inside your set-in-game resolution.
          width = 1920;    -- Width  of the "Center"-view port inside the in-game resolution.
          height = 1200;  -- Height of the "Center"-view port inside the in-game resolution.
          viewDx = 0;  -- Horiz. default view-point direction
          viewDy = 0;  -- Vert.  default view-point direction
          aspect = 1920/1200;  -- screen.width/screen.height by default.
     }
}

Shkval =  -- or also LEFT_MFCD =
-- ratio 4:3
{
     x = 1920;
     y = 432;
     width = 448;
     height = 336;
}

ABRIS = -- OR ALSO RIGHT_MFCD =
-- ratio 3:4
{
     x = 2560;
     y = 0;
     width = 576;
     height = 768;
}

GUI =
{
     x = 1920;
     y = 0;
     width = 1280;
     height = 1024;
}

UIMainView = GUI

Your Monitorsetup.lua is legit.

Post also you options.lua.

Do you mean the options.lua that is in my ..\Users\Andy\Saved Games\DCS\Config here it is:

Un-Check "Full screen" in the Options>System Menu.
And also un-check "disable aero interface - this will probably higher your frames when in windowed mode.

[Snacko]

Thank you so much!!!

That fixed it! Rep inbound m8!

[furball42]

I have tried the first lua modify as per your Dummies Guide. My first problem is that I do not see the my monitor option come up in the Monitors setup in the game. What am I doing wrong?

[PeterP]

That's a indication for a broken script with a invalid syntax.
Please check your *.lua for typos.

[furball42]

PeterP,
All I changed was the name of the .lua, and so far no love (as in, the file does not come up in the monitor set up option in game). I am logged in as Admin., Going to the minitor set up via this path: Program Files, Eagle Dynamics, DCS World, Config, Monitor set up and the new .Lua is:_ =
_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('2 Screen');
Description = 'Two monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = screen.width;
height = screen.height;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = screen.aspect;
}
}

I am modifying the 1 Camera file under monitor set up and saving it as another name in the same file using Notebook++ .
Is there another Monitor setup page that I need to be looking at?
Sorry if it seems that this idiot can't follow the Dummies Guide. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
Looks like the spacing is weird in this screen, but it looks just the same as the original file 1 camera when opened in Notebook++.
Thanks for any ideas and help.

_ = 
_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('2 Screen');
Description = 'Two monitor configuration'

Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
        x = 0;
        y = 0;
        width = screen.width;
        height = screen.height;
        viewDx = 0;
        viewDy = 0;
        aspect = screen.aspect;
    }
}

If your code is indeed as above (since this is what you pasted, albeit without the [code] tags around it), then the first line, "_=", is breaking the script. Make sure the first line is "_ = function(p) return p; end;".
