I am sure that is where it comes from. That is supposed to have the shkval and ABRIS on the left non-widescreen

Options section - the first [ This is what I have now, cause I did his math like he said for the ghost screen... "graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "pit_camera+abris+shkval", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 1, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "Low", ["aspect"] = 3.55048, ["textures"] = 1, ["shadows"] = 2, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1050, ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 3728, }, -- end of ["graphics"] ___________________________________________________ Viewports = { Center = { x = 1024; y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1050; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.6; } } Shkval = { x = 3216; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768/2; } ABRIS = { x = 2704; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768;

What files do you want, I can zip them and put them for download, or just take up some forum space and try to learn and teach for other guys...? I really appreciate your attention to this!! p.s. that is the direct copy of the vista... the post tutorial does not have how to do it in xp with different rezzes.. I see it all over done in screenshots.

just did this minus the red words... Same thing, centered across the monitor... Viewports = { Center = { x = 1024; -- Starts at 1024 because of the 1024x768 "phantom" screen on the left y = 0; width = 1680; -- actual pixel width of the main display height = 1050; -- actual pixel height of the main display viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.6; -- =1680/1050 } } Shkval = { x = 3216; -- as the Shkval starts at the second half of the right monitor, this is 1024 (the phantom width) plus 1680 (the main view width) plus half of 1024 (halfway across the right monitor width) y = 0; width = 512; -- half of 1024, the secondary monitor width height = 768/2; -- to keep the aspect correct, half the height of the secondary screen } ABRIS = { x = 2704; -- starts at the left of the secondary screen, so 1024 (the width of the phantom) plus 1680 (the width of the main screen) y = 0; width = 512; -- half the secondary screen pixel width height = 768; -- full height of the secondary screen } ______________________________________________________________ "graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "pit_camera+abris+shkval", -- the name of the file above, lower case ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 0, ["fullScreen"] = false, -- doesn't work in Vista fullscreen ["visibRange"] = "High", ["aspect"] = 3.55048, -- The total width of your displays (including phantom) divided by the largest vertical resolution. In my case, (1024+1680+1024)/1050. ["textures"] = 2, ["shadows"] = 2, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 3, ["lights"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["terrPrld"] = "20", ["height"] = 1050, -- largest of your pixel heights ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", -- main screen resolution ["civTraffic"] = 1, ["width"] = 3728, -- total screen pixel width, including phantom }, -- end of ["graphics"]

It did not work. I can try that phantom screen, its just the math correct?

Alright This is the changes since getting home... If I do fullscreen, it wont load all... Obviously... Non full, same thing, split in the center. Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1050; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.6; } } Shkval = { x = 2192; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768/2; } ABRIS = { x = 2704; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768; ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ pit_camera+abris+shkval", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 1, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "Low", ["aspect"] = 2.57524, ["textures"] = 1, ["shadows"] = 2, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1050, ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 2704, }, -- end of ["graphics"]

I cant wait to play this.... Thank you for taking the time to make it!!

I have not even tried it in fullscreen yet. I will try that change as well. I just wonder, I bought the widescreen to see more, I think if I have to sacrifice it, I wont even do the 2 monitors... what do you think?

Alright... I will give that a try when I get home from work... Thanks for the help.

As soon as I figure this out, I will post here what I did. i am going to try to add a ghost now, and see what happens. Now its all the way across both monitors, but still centered.

I thought you only had to add the phantom if you had the secondary on the right?

Alright this is what I did, and what it did to the game. Here, C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\MonitorSetup I made this LUA called, pit_camera+abris+shkval -- Viewports = { Center = { x = 1024; y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1050; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.6; } } Shkval = { x = 3216; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768/2; } ABRIS = { x = 2704; y = 0; width = 512; height = 768; Here, C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\BlackShark\data\scripts I made this change to the options LUA "graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "pit_camera+abris+shkval", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 1, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "Low", ["aspect"] = 1.6, ["textures"] = 1, ["shadows"] = 2, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1050, ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 1680, }, -- end of ["graphics"] __________________________ Now that is done, if I "span" the monitors, the image is centered with about 1/4 of each screen on the outside, the background. I am not in fullscreen. If I do not span the monitors, I cant even get it to start up. I think the resolutions are what they should be though, what i do see, is the right size.

*disclaimer* I know there are many posts on this subject. I have been searching, and reading for over a hour since I got home from work. If you don't have anything nice to say about helping, just jog on please! *end* I have seen how to make the .lua's. I just simply don't understand what to do. Usually I work to find the answer with trial and error, but I don't want to get in over my head, this is past what I can do for the most part. I will give the info of my system, monitors and resolution, perhaps someone does not mind taking a few minutes to explain to me in layman terms for me and the other confused people!!

Nothing complicated I thought... lol Thank you for help, if any!!

1) Go into the options, Click the top tab that says "Gameplay" 2) Click the bottom left button that says "Simulation" 3) On the right of that same page, put a check in the box that says " Use these options for any mission" That is problem one. Problem 2. I too am sad that you cant start the bird for every mission. It has been discussed though that you would have to go into, and edit all of the campaign missions to "start on the Parkway" so that you would have to start the helo. That may affect the start times though as some missions are timed for triggers. But many missions that you can download for play will have you starting up the way we want to. Its just one of those things. Good luck and have fun!!

Great idea!!

I am a noob as well, kinda. But my first suggestion is to go into your options menu, under the controls tab, and then select the Axis Commands... then once you have them pulled up, click on each one, and run through that they are working correctly... add in some deadzone, and a curve to them to lighten/soften the input. Also, Make sure that you are using the trimmer correctly... If you trim in rudder, it will not help. Set a key to reset the trim as well. One more thing, when you start the bird, make sure you are turning on your AP settings.. the 5 blue buttons low and right. They are Pitch, Bank, Attitude, and Alt hold buttons... The allow the Helos computer to remove unwanted movements and dampen your input. I could be totally off, but on my reading of the forums, that is where I would start.

Nice flying, and great movies.

I did send it there, but as of today, It has resolved itself... All I have to say though, I sent emails, and does customer service exist? I got no response or anything.

Im in the same boat. No 3rd email for it either, not on my account, or my brothers. Scarreddragon@gmail.com

I did at the same time I made the post... I have not had a response yet. I am patient, just want it worked out. Actually, just to be sure, what is the ED mail, I think I got directed to tech support... just want to double check.

I bought myself a copy for 49.99 on jan 20th. I bought my brother a copy full price as well for 49.99 on the 26th. I am now being hit in my bank account for a third copy at full price that I DID NOT buy. I would like someone to get back to me about why, and what is going on please.

lol

One more, you guys rock. How do you slave the shkval to the HMS? I saw it on the dev video, but now I cannot find it.

Me and a teammate got into the Shooting Range mission on a hamachi LAN tonight... we have developed a few more questions. 1) Do you guys use the collective brake? 2) How do you turn the weapons systems off, and go back to the original nav mode? 3) How do you cage the shkval? And set it back to standby?
