Can I Change MFCD size and position in AltF1 view

Can I Change MFCD size and position in AltF1 view?

I'm running a 3 screen setup and I'd like to move the MFCDs to the bottom left and right of the middle screen.

Thanks

PeterP wrote an excellent guide available from the user files section:

 

Dummies Guide for the “MonitorSetup.lua“

What .lua file for Hud-Only View?

 

OK, I read Peter P's excellent document, but it refers to the standard (F1) view (selected in the Monitors setting). It doesn't say which lua file controls the set-up of the Hud Only view (Alt F1)

I have searched the lua files and cant find anything that looks likely.

If you're trying to move the MFCD's including the bezel (OSB's), then I think you're looking for Helios. Search on that and see if that's what you're trying to do.

No, I don't want to move the Bezel/OSBs, just the MFCD viewports. I have a 3 screen setup and currently the MFCDs are seven feet apart and about a foot square. I want to move them over my Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs and adjust the size so it corresponds roughly with the size of the MFCD windows.

 

Helios is on my list of things to do, but not yet...

Sorted (nearly....)

 

After a days work I managed to answer my own question. With help from PeterP's document and a reply in the multi-monitor thread from Slick Twitchy

I added

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1920;

y = 680;

width = 400;

height = 400;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 3440;

y = 680;

width = 300;

height = 300;

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

to my monitor setup file and it worked exactly as I had hoped.

The only problem now is that the MFCDs stay in place in all of my other views, so not a perfect solution, but not bad.

Can the in-cockpit MFCD displays be turned off so only the ones under the Cougar are displayed? I have just invested in a 4 screen rig, and have everything else sorted. It's just a little odd having 2 sets of MFCDs in view

Yes you can.

 

Please check out attached. The viewporthandling.lua line 57 is where you comment out the in-cockpit MFCDs.

If you are sending remaining viewports e.g. CDU, RWR etc then they can also be turned off in cockpit.

 

Easiest way to install attached is using JSGME; http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607
