Moving Helios panels pop-up to new monitor
AaIiGee replied to AaIiGee's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Is it so that on right hand window there are two panels and on left hand window only a group of many objects? If it’s like that then the left console is not a panel. Does it mean that I can’t get it work with handle on other monitor? I also noticed that those panels on right hand window are very easy to copy to the other monitor and it’s not possible to modify them. -
I’m using modified Gadroc’s A-10C Single Touch Screen helios profile in my 4 monitors T-shape configuration (more here). Now I would like to get e.g. hiden left console to pop-up to lower left corner of the upper monitor. I have two ideas on how to do that: 1) Launch the left console pop-up panel from “left console handle” of monitor 2 (lower single monitor) and to define new cordinates for opening it up to monitor 1 (upper 3 monitors). I’m quite new with Helios, but it looked like that I can define top and left cordinates only for monitor 2, where the launch handle locates. 2) To copy left console panel and the handle to monitor 1 and to make it work at the same way how it did inside monitor 2. I tried that, but it’s not as simple that I hope... Of course I can copy left console panel (at least the most of it, but I didn’t manage to copy background, how to do that?) and the handle, but they are not connected together and I can’t hide left console panel by pressing the handle. My question is how to connect them to work together in a same way how they worked in monitor 2? Image 1: Monitor 2 and lauch handle before left console panel launch. Image 2. Monitor 2 after console panel launch. Image 3. Monitor 1 and copied left console and launch handle.

Unresponsive controls settings fields

I'm using A-10C but that happens with all modules. -
Unresponsive controls settings fields
AaIiGee replied to AaIiGee's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
OK, I gave up and made reinstallation and the controls are now set. There are still some lighter blue fields but not for e.g. all fields of TM MDF’s. I couldn’t find explanation for them from the manual, is it just normal that it’s not possible to set all fields to certain controller? -
What could be wrong as I can’t set all controls settings? Some rows of the Controls settings menu are with different colour and nothing happens when I’m clicking them (see image). I think that was not like that from the beginning, at least it came worst (more inoperative fields) when I have tried get premade profiles to work. I have deleted all other folders than default folder from saved games…\input folder with no help. I have also tried to use premade Target profile but it doesn’t work either (field inputs are not imported). At some point I thought that the problem was the same than here (my Warthog was also named as 2 axis joystick…) and I made some registry changes (it's possible that I messed up here…). Is there any other possibility to get controls settings to work than to do another game reinstallation?

Thank you sir, very good instructions! I also decided to jump 4 x 1920 x 1080 configuration: That was the hardest point of the process… I followed for removing LG-monitor holder and now two fingers in my both hands look like this: :):):)

Solve one problem and get another one… I would like to use Helios profiles but for some reason I can’t get CMSP, CMSC, Digital Clock, UHF Repeater and RWR to work. As you can see from the image, they are totally missing from VC and monitor 4. I have followed instructions given here, however, there was not such a directory as DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\A10c. Instead I found the corresponding script files from the directory DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts and I replaced them by new ones. I also made export.lua file and after that switches and gauges started work. Now I’m using the following monitor setup LUA-file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('Helios 4 monitors'); Description = '4 monitor configuration' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.333333333333; } } UHFREPEATER = { x = 2042 + 649 + 16; y = 1080 + 670 + 24; width = 104; height = 68; } CMSC = { x = 2042 + 789; y = 1080 + 100; width = 339; height = 168; } CMSP = { x = 2042 + 1126 + 21; y = 1080 + 50 + 686; width = 309; height = 192; } RWR = { x = 2042 + 505; y = 1080 + 102; width = 280; height = 280; } DIGITALCLOCK = { x = 2042 + 520; y = 1080 + 830; width = 110; height = 110; } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2042; y = 1080; width = 375; height = 375; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2042 + 1680 - 375; y = 1080; width = 375; height = 375; } GUI = { x = 1920; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; } UIMainView = GUI Once again I’m in need of help… :helpsmilie::pilotfly::helpsmilie:

Thanks, that worked!

OK, it works after clean reinstallation! I’m using the first T-shape monitor setup LUA which I posted and the center is still defined like that: Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.333333333333; } There is still a lot of fine tuning ahead, but how to get the text to the upper screens (see image)? Is this a right way to go?

Thank you for helping me guys, now I think that it’s a deeper problem than only monitor setup LUA. I tried to run the game with only 1 monitor setup, but MFCD’s were still missing in VC. Then I uninstalled A-10A module, but the game didn’t start at all after that. The next thing to do was to uninstall whole DCS, but after reinstallation the result was the same; game doesn’t start at all. I just sent a ticket to DCS support for solving the game start up problem. I’ll report back when I can start up the game again.
-
That could be an ideal solution, but it looks like UltraMFCD is not available anymore as the website (https://ultramfcd.com) is idle. The file is available here, but the program needs some kind of validation and it’s not working either.
-
OK, I tried that all monitors in a row set up also, but the result was the same than with T-shape; both MFCD’s are still missing. Now I used the following LUA-file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('4 monitors in row'); Description = '4 monitor configuration' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.333333333333; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5760; y = 0; width = 400; height = 400; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5760 + 1680 - 400; y = 0; width = 400; height = 400; } GUI = { x = 5760; y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1050; } UIMainView = GUI

Yes, I noticed that too and I have tried to change it without success from NVIDIA control panel. However, above monitor is still set as a primary monitor despite its named as number 3 monitor. In Windows control panel above monitor is named as 2 and below monitors as 1. I have no idea how to change that…

I’m in need of help with 4 monitors configuration. I just jumped into this world and I would like to use 4 monitors right from the beginning. I have read many forum writings and an excellent dummies guide for the monitorsetup.lua, but I’m still doing something wrong. I have the following configuration: - 3 x 1920 x 1080 monitors which are set as a single 5760 x 1080 monitor via NVIDIA surround (primary monitor). - 1 x 1680 x 1050 monitor - The monitors are set to T-shape via NVIDIA multiple monitor set up and the “upper left coordinates” of the below monitor are 2042,1080 (see image). - The resolution in options/system menu is a combined resolution 5760 x 2130. The problem is that I have tried many different LUA-files but I can’t get MFCD’s inside TM cougars to below monitor (see image). Actually they are disappeared also from virtual cockpit with the current LUA-file. The only thing which is shown in below monitor is the text, which is normally shown in above monitor. Current LUA-file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('4 monitors'); Description = '4 monitor configuration' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.333333333333; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2042; y = 1080; width = 400; height = 400; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2042 + 1680 - 400; y = 1080; width = 400; height = 400; } GUI = { x = 2042; y = 1080; width = 1680; height = 1050; } UIMainView = GUI It would be very helpful if someone could advise me how to proceed. Thank you very much in advance!
