Ok lets get down to business here. For FC2 what i'm trying to do right now is to hex edit out the 3d data so that only the hud mfd etc remains, we'll see how that goes. Second option, edit scripts and plane data so the ka 50 cockpit/ heli hud etc is used for the default planes in fc2 and go from there, most commands etc can be found using a hex editor or looking trough the script files. @ Gadroc, Thats not a problem at all, you can have any kind of 3d data you want on screen, thats simply the .lom and you can create a model of any look and export it using the ED tools given. (cant use the original pit however as it cant be converted back to editor format) i've had pits in Blackshark and A-10 The mfd's and huds can be moved around using 3 point helpers in 3ds max with a given name. Structure: MFD-Center MFD-DOWN MFD-RIGHT It took me a while to find those pointers hexing the pit files but in the end they where there staring me in the face. They can be found in this file at the bottom. A-10 \DCS A-10C Beta\Scripts\Aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\Device_init.lua Example PNT-MFCD-L-CENTER","PNT-MFCD-L-DOWN","PNT-MFCD-L-RIGHT" Pit Arguments and other things of interests : Same as above : mainpanel_init.lua Blackshark D:\Games\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Device_init.lua Pit Arguments and other things of interests : Same as above : mainpanel_init.lua This should get you going. And please dont use this information for profitable gains. (without permission from ED at the very least) Now i'm also looking into the HUD programming itself and how to do this in C++ or C# So lets have some fun with this. Good luck Trigen

Just wanted to let you guys in on a little secret i've been working on the last few days I'l let you in on the specifics later, for Blackshark and A10 its a simple operation so you can use any custom pit you want, you would have to use the a10 or black shark HUD/mfd however (for now) until someone writes a new cockpit dll As for Flaming cliffs 2, whilst i know what gouverns the Hud and mfd's etc i'm unsure as to what kind of geometry is used for the plane or 2d coordinates that the game uses. the option calculate S, T, SxT is 2d coordinates and i'm guessing SxT is S * T (lomutils) , i'l have to read more on that. I have tried quite a few combinations using .lom however and i'm starting to fear that without .cmd tools Fc2 is out of reach, well thats until i find out how to use the KA-50 pit thats already there for the rest of the planes. IF anyone can get the ka-50 working pit like custom human in fc2 do let me know so it saves me some time. Here's the black shark pic in any case. (just to illustrate) Uploaded with ImageShack.us More will follow

Done just about everything you can imagine with my screens, Currently they are setup with the edge of the original plastic sawed off , left on the right both side on the middle, you get the picture. that way i can keep the mountings and they are still easy to mount on the walls For the metal i've put some black electrical isolation tape on to avoid backlight bleed and better looks. I also have the two side screens in front of the middle to make them thinner and depending your view position you may have to move them a little up or down. Dont fiddle with the metal under there, the screen pixel area is actually about 2mm inside of them so you wont gain anything and you would most likely break the monitor by trying.

Crossfinity with 60Fps lock and seemingly smooth and stutter free at first glance, have they finally fixed it ? Tomorrow will be a day for testing

Hi I see you have fixed the issue of the startup menu for triple screen in A-10 (that is the mouse pointer issue and that it runs over multiple screens in a window) Also the Labels in the right monitor is always off in 3 screen mode. Seeing as most of this is fixed in A-10 it would be great if you could release that fix for the rest if its not to much work And if not could you perhaps point me to the files that is need to i could try and switch a little around and copy from A-10 to FC and so on ?

Thanks for the quick response EtheralN The two first support requests were sent by email to activation@lockon.ru and the 3rd and latest by the ticket system. (1220 today) TID:2040 Its clearly intentional not to answer these Emails : 05.12.2010 TID: 1954 16.10.2010 TID: 758 Small add to my post above, The number of activations allowed by your Serial Number is exceeded. So it would be preferred to have it reset entirely as deactivating the product would probably leave me with one activation left

Quick and easy Spent all Activations (except one if i recall correctly) due to Processor changes windows reinstalls and lastly a motherboard and processor. (yes i overclock and test different stuff) Now i forgot to deactivate fc2 and having lost the license data i cannot deactivate the product and i cannot get the hardware code i need to deactivate online because well i have no license data, so its also useless to put my old motherboard back in. After 2 emails asking for a serial reset without even getting an answer i can only come the the conclusion that you do not intend to give me an answer. That brings me here to ask what your doing. You may think i've given my serial to just about all my friends seeing as i've spent them all so fast but believe it or not some of us do reinstall and play around with hardware more often than you'r average joe. In part its my fault for forgetting to use the deactivate but how impossible do you intend for it to be to get this fixed, its in fact several months since i sent the first email but never received a response, also partly my fault as i expected it to be a little simpler as it was when i did it for flaming cliffs one so i didnt write to much else than having upgraded and forgotten. I hope you can help me out here as i'm starting to get somewhat annoyed by the whole issue. At the very least i would expect you to answer emails and tickets. :helpsmilie:

Softth 2.03 with ati fix is around these days so you can enjoy full screen in any configuration if you havent already

Already made a post on this a while back so hopefully ED saw it. Dont think its hard to implement it needs its own camera and i needs to have a key so you can toggle it on off

Used to have the groove issue myself cause i always wanted to push it, once i calmed down and started driving real safe my lap times and driving improved a lot. No point driving on the edge if you cant stay on the track, nice and easy and you'll drive faster than you ever have. F1 95% mental Looking forward to trying this game

Yup, seen threads stuck for some time now

This has got to be the funniest animation i've seen to date , enjoy! updated...

You continue to amaze me Kegetys, i love you man! Softth and now this! So what can we go to gain this knowledge ? please do tell

Hi there Having a lot of time on my hands i was wondering if some of you programming guru's could point me in the right direction. I'm hoping to be able to start programming some of my own gauges and have the within a 3d cockpit (created in Blender ) frame later on in a static window thats possible to have on another computer. I dont have to much experience in programming so perhaps something that will get me going. Any tips would be most welcome, been googling a bit but not really found anything.

I see you have written 1920x1280 for your main monitor, is that 1920x1080 ? assuming it is You have to use softth for thiss to work in fullscreen. If you want it to work in window mode you need to set your left monitor as primary. Use the resolution given above. Make a copy of shkval+camera+abris.lua and call it something else Paste _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('Mycamerafile'); Description = 'Shkval on the left monitor,ABRIS on the right and camera on the center'; Viewports = { Center = { x = 1024; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777; } } Shkval = { x = 0; -- Left side y = 0; width = 1024; height = 768; } ABRIS = { x = 2944; y = 0; width = 1024; height = 768; }

There's really no need to keep things in window mode anymore, especially if you have to span it across 2 graphic cards , it will gimp your performance. There's an excellent choice for nvidia users called Softth 2.01 that is free and in my opinion is better than eyefinity and th2g http://www.kegetys.net/forum/index.php?topic=2123.0 Its not hard to set up All you do is set the resolution you want in windows , then you go into Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua and change ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "test", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 2, ["fullScreen"] = true, ["visibRange"] = "Medium", ["aspect"] = 3.675, ["textures"] = 1, ["shadows"] = 2, ["effects"] = 2, ["width"] = 3968, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1080, ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["resolution"] = "3968x1080", ["haze"] = 1, }, -- end of ["graphics"] You will probably need to edit your camera settings a bit to have it line up Hope this will help you out

Thanks Mustang. grabbed it from techpowerup tho

i guess Nate beat me to it

Do you mean when you look up or down they shift ? Assuming you have the 3 camera setup that because your monitors is at the wrong angle and that angle changes depending on zoom Zoom far in and watch how it changes, zoom a bit out until its a little off and try to adjust your monitor angle a little and prepare to be amazed. In FSX you have one camera and it uses some calculations to make it correct and you get a fisheye effect with it. If you want 3 screens setup to be correct you need to find the correct monitor angle and keep it there, you dont want to use zoom again, and you cant use track ir to look up or down

I would try running it in fullscreen with softth 2.01 and see if you gain some fps http://www.kegetys.net/forum/index.php?topic=2123.0 That may help but it should not matter as both screens are on the same card Also try the D3d overrider mentioned earlyer to free up a little.

I'm afraid i cannot offer you a fullscreen solution with one side monitor as landscape and one a s portrait. If you are willing to have the 19inch in landscape and run in 800x600 i can give you double the framerate but the abris will have a bit lower resolution (and i guess it will stic out the side of your pit. here's a picture of mine with All on high quick start mission about 25-30fp shkval+camera+abris Ps. one can also set up fullscreen in dual screen setups using softth If you'r interested i can do all the config files for you or teach you how. 800x600 on a 24 inch shkval 800x600 on a 19 inch abris 5760x1080 3x24 main screen You can set things up in the camer.lua file for different sizes as i'm sure you know Here's a picture

I use a 5monitor setup with cameras up left right and down. with a set zoom so you can see 80-90% of the pit and have a 100% outside view This would be mainly a Simpit solution or touchbuddy with all knobs on another monitor

uhm, does the 5850 support 4 outputs on one card perhaps ?

I'm really not sure but i would'nt think as it exports it over to the other computer, so it will just need the power to run the export script and nothing more. (correct me if i'm wrong) As for the D3D overrider it looks to be working just fine in window mode on my BSVP so i'd say no you dont need to be in fullscreen. However i dont think it will have an impact if you are already below 60 fps in the main game. Some people swear by it due to the forced triple buffer in D3d overrider but i cant say that i have noticed any difference. I'm not sure how many screens you are running but i'm guessing 5 ? 4 on the main computer, 3 running the main window, 1 for abris and shkval and the instruments on the second computer ? I'm running eyefinity 3x1 for main screen. and a 4870 for my other two monitors. Thing is with window mode, as soon as i drag something over the line so it show's on the screen that is driven by the secondary card my fps drop by at least half, it really does not like that. Showing Abris etc within my eyefinity group on only one card only gives about a 5fps drop Might it be the same for you ? And "(can't be in multimonitor mode and full screen IFAIK)." Softth + eyefinity (th2g) is no problem so you can run it all in fullscreen if you want too, 3 4 or 5 monitors work On the bottom is a screenshot with my setup in fc2 fullscreen, 5770 drives all screens with the second just for output http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=57756 And sorry for the bit of a hijack here, working on the OP problem aswell, more or less the same Gotta run for a bit now, will get back in 1 houer to continue
