BS MM 1.0.0 HELP!

[lestesian]

I havent played my game in a few years. i used to be able to have SHKVAL and ABRIS on left monitor. for the life of me i cant get it to work this time.

 

i used an online guilde that i can no longer find.

 

i can see that my math is correct about the placement of the screen

 

the problem is that my custom resolution is not recognized by the game.

 

i remember before that i had a resolution of 3040x1080 i believe it was,

 

but now when i change the resolution by typing in my custom resolution its instantly reverted upon leaving the screen.

 

how can i get my custom resolution to stick??

 

1920x1080L + 1024x768R

 

PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,

 

I think you mistook between left and right monitor resolution when I read your config file (height 768 is your right monitor as you specified). If you just switched monitor resolutions, your ABRIS x coordinate should be 512.

[Frank Murphy]

Please tell us on which monitor you want to display main view on one hand and Shkval + ABRIS on the other hand (with correct resolution of each monitor).

Just to be sure: you are editing the options.lua found in the user/saved games/dcs.../config folder, correct?

that location does not exist in 1.0.0 the only file in the folder is called network.vault

 

 

i would like the cockpit on the left monitor

 

which is maxxed at 2560X1440 and shkval +abris splitting the right monitor maxxed at 1280X1024

 

yes these are different than what i was using i was trying

 

1920x1080 and 1024x768

 

i would patch up to 1.0.2 but the patch keeps causing alot of errors.

 

thanks guys.

[lestesian]

the problem i think is th egame is not recognizing the second monitor as usable space

[Frank Murphy]

Do you mean you are still running the good old standalone BS 1.0.0 ? Nice :)

 

I can only give you configuration tips about DCS World (I have updated to 1.5.5 last night). I have created a "Ka-50.lua" file in "[DCS Home Directory]\Config\MonitorSetup" and selected it in "Options - System - Screens" in DCS menus (or something like that, I have a French GUI).

 

You have to select max resolution proposed by DCS GUI in "Options - System - Resolution" (choose the line before the last line because the last one cause some display issue).

 

Your configuration file should content those lines :

 

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 2560;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1,777777777777778;

}

}

 

Shkval =

{

x = 2560;

y = 0;

width = 640;

height = 1024;

}

 

ABRIS =

{

x = 3200;

y = 0;

width = 640;

height = 1024;

}

 

There will probably have some adjustments to do but it should be a good basis.

[lestesian]

Thank You Frank Murphy.

 

however it did not work.

 

i remember there was another file i need to edit to allow a custom resolution in 1.0.0 but i cannot find that wiki, as it is probably 6 or 7 years old now.
