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.

I'm using A-10C but that happens with all modules.

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!
