Need help configuring dual-monitors in DCS

[Alkaline]

Hi,

 

I just got a 2nd monitor, and I'd like to use it with DCS, for example, get the F-15 MFCD on my 2nd monitor, or maybe even the radar itself on the 2nd monitor?

 

Both monitors are set to 1920x1080 in Windows

My left monitor numbered "2" is my main display in Windows

I use "Extend these displays"

 

Main monitor: BenQ XL2411Z 24'', 144Hz connected with Dual-DVI

2nd monitor: BenQ E2200HD 21,5'', 60Hz connected with HDMI

 

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB (Overclocked from 1070MHz to 1090MHz)

CPU: AMD FX-8320 (Overclocked from 3.8GHz to 4.7GHz)

 

I've been trying different settings in DCS Options, but its aaall messed up. I noticed that I can select 3k resolution aswell when I connected my 2nd monitor.

 

Help is appreciated! :)

Ah, selected Camera + MFCD (Automatic position), then it worked. Not as expected though... I mean, the radar on the 2nd monitor is full size 21,5'' and kinda ugly... I mean, it looks like Tetris or something.. :/

Manually editing your monitor config works well.

 

You can set your MFDs to 512 resolution and that will be fine :)

 

Here is a sample of what I had with my 1280x1024 monitor sitting beside the main 1920x1280.

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('My settings');
Description = 'MFCDs on the left screen and camera on the primary'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 1280;
         y = 0;
         width  = 1920;
         height = 1200;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.77;
    }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
    x = 0;
    y = 340;
    width = 512;
    height = 512;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
    x = 768;
    y = 340;
    width = 512;
    height = 512;
}


UIMainView = Viewports.Center

And...? Should I create a new .LuA file in DCS World/Config/MonitorSetup with that code?

Yup :)
