[Chippie]

Hi lads,

 

can anyone please help with trying to get the Huey sling camera, ,placed in the top left quarter of my second monitor, which is on the RH side of main monitor. I only have two monitors at 1600 x 900 x 2 monitors.

Any help would be much appreciared

 

Cheers

Although its a good question, I would recommend keeping the camera in your field of vision. Ive tried keeping the camera on a separate monitor, but watching the camera on one monitor while trying to maintain a stable hover is next to impossible. I would keep it where its at...

Can't get cargo camera to show

 

How to reposition camera window? I can' get the cargo camera to show (i checked and keys are lshift+lctrl+c) at all

[Chippie]

Thank you , I didn't even think of going back to single screen. Cheers

Just need to assign External Cargo hook/un hook or automatic hook/unhook and land very close to cargo.

Hi lads,

 

can anyone please help with trying to get the Huey sling camera, moved

 

Was there an answer to this?

 

Mines in the upper right corner of my right monitor which is located over the right door window. I'd like to move it more into my field of view.

 

running 3 monitors, 6040*1080

I too would like to do this as I have a similar setup.

[KirkaFordis Rex]

in DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\CARGO_CAM_base_page.lua

 

line # 11 HUD_OnlyVerts = {{-width,height},{width,height},{width,-height},{-width,-height}}

 

the "width" value is it's position on the screen. By defualt line #7 local width = 1.0.

 

swapping out the word "width" with "1" will yield the same position.

 

The lower this number is, the farther from the right hand side of the screen. Also we can see that the box defaults from -1 to 1 so it is 2 units wide.

 

My resolution is 6060*1080 and this is what I changed my line #11 to:

 

HUD_OnlyVerts  = {{-10,height},{-8,height},{-8,-height},{-10,-height}}

 

You can tweak the numbers to get it just right.

 

I'm sure there are probably other (better) ways to do it, but this worked for me. Hope it helps.

Try this works for me

 

File: CARGO_CAM_init.lua

Under the line:

dedicated_viewport_arcade = dedicated_viewport

 

add the line

 

try_find_assigned_viewport("UH_1H_cargocam") or any name you like

 

save:

 

Now edit your Monitorsetup\huey.lua for example add the following

 

UH_1H_cargocam =

{

x = 6251;

y = 319;

width = 920;

height = 737;

 

select your own x,y,w,h mine shows on the right MFCD

 

Added JSGME file

I tried using config from hellsbells but i dont have cargo cam showing at all..do i need to position myself properly over cargo to get camera to show on my screen?

[HellsBells]

I found if you are higher than 1200-1500 it does not work. Plus you must be off the ground

 

I presume you changed the x,y etc settings to suit. I also set a key to activate the Cam

 

*****************************************

As I run Eyefinity I changed the location of the Cargo Cam to the Top Right of the first monitor

for a second monitor try 2750,25,424,537

 

*****************************************

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('HUEY MASTER');

Description = 'HUEY MASTER'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 4808;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 4.00666666666667;

}

}

 

UH_1H_cargocam =

{

x = 1126;

y = 18;

width = 424;

height = 537;

 

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

The only bug I found is a small duplicate screen appears when activated on my center monitor

 

...same as for me. is there any fix to just have one (my assigned viewport) on screen?

or at least to minimize the other one to zero?

Thx

Problem fixed...

 

Changed in the CARGO_CAM_init.lua the dedicated_viewport entry.

Easy if u know it... :music_whistling:

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."devices_defs.lua")
dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

if LockOn_Options.flight.easy_radar then 
  render_target_always = true
  purposes      = {render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT,render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT}
else
  purposes      = {render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT}
end

dedicated_viewport        = {1450,1137,415,415}

dedicated_viewport_arcade = dedicated_viewport
   
                         
-------PAGE IDs-------
id_Page =
{
   PAGE_NULL = 0,
   PAGE_OFF  = 1,
   PAGE_MAIN = 2
}

id_pagesubset =
{
   COMMON  = 0,
}

page_subsets = {}
page_subsets[id_pagesubset.COMMON] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."CARGO_CAM\\CARGO_CAM_base_page.lua"
     
----------------------
pages = {}
pages[id_Page.PAGE_MAIN] = { id_pagesubset.COMMON}

init_pageID     = id_Page.PAGE_MAIN

always_show_ground = false
--use_parser      = false
