Trying to resolve an issue with 2 monitors

[Lucky]

It's been about a year since I was able to run 2 monitors thanks to an issue with my Radeon 7970. Finally got a Nvidia GTX970 a few days ago and am trying to set up 2 monitors. I only want to export the MFCD's on the 2nd monitor to the right of my main monitor.

 

Main - 1920 x 1200

2nd - 1680 x 1050

 

I've been able to get the MFCD's on the 2nd monitor, my problem is the cockpit is extended across both monitors. I only want it on the main monitor.

I'm running win 8.1 and have the desktop extended to the 2nd monitor.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the ; character marked red

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('2_monitor_setup');

Description = '2_monitor_setup'; <--

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

}

}

Kuky, Thanks for your quick response. I won't be able to do it until I get home again tomorrow morning, but your help is much appreciated.

 

Unfortunately I can't give you any rep until I spread some around.

That was it.

Thanks again Kuky.

@Kuky: I am very interested to know the reason why this semi-colon was the problem.

I had tested Lucky's file on my rig without issue and the semi-colon is legit in lua syntax, all my monitor configuration have it as well.

The only thing I can think of that could have generated Lucky's problem was to have "Viewports.Center" coordinates overlapping the MFDs viewports' coordinates.

Thanks ;)
