2 screen multimonitor - different behaviour in 1.5 with GUI centering

[Pikey]

Hi,

 

My current setup is a 1920x1080 top and 1600x900 bottom, windowed mode 1920x1980. Nvidia GTX 970 latest drivers.

 

My 1.2.16 experience is that I can have the GUI solely on the top screen and when playing in the 3D world get a full screen stretched across both monitors. Ican reproduce this.

 

In 1.5 using the same monitor config and lua copied across I get the DCS GUI squashed into half the top screen and mouse offsets. so the resolutions looks like 1920x540 of real use distorted.

 

Monitor config:

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('2screen');
Description = 'My monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width;
         height = screen.height;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = screen.aspect;
    }
}
Gui =
{
x = screen.width / 3;
y = 0;
width = screen.width / 3;
height = screen.height;
}

UIMainView = Gui

I've played around with the monitor lua and am unable to get a gui in the top screen with a full 1920x1980 both screen resolution. I used windowed mode. I cannot use Nvidia surround for full screen due to one monitor being upside down (the bottom) due to cable lengths.

I have the exact same issue. UIMainView does not scale in 1.5 as before.

 

My monitorFile:

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Monitor T-config');
Description = 'Monitor config'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 2560;
         height = 1680;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 2560 / 1680;
    }	  
}
Gui =
{
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
    width = 2560;
    height = 1080;
}
UIMainView = Gui

btw. I enjoy 1.5 and the L39.

[marques]

same problem here, let´s hope it´s solved or someone founds a way of bypassing this, because with my monitor configuration (PLP) I cannot manage the program.

Came here to file this bug as well. I'll just leave my Lua file and hope ED solves this quick. Quite annoying.

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('customized');
Description = '3 monitor plus mfds'
Viewports = 
{
    Left = 
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width / 3;
         height = 1920;
         viewDx = -1;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1080 / 1920;
    },

    Center = 
    {
         x = screen.width / 3;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width / 3;
         height = 1920;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1080 / 1920;
    },

    Right = 
    {
         x = screen.width * 2 / 3;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width / 3;
         height = 1920;
         viewDx = 1;
         viewDy = 0;          
     aspect = 1080 / 1920;
    },
}

}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{

y = 2315;
width = 400;
height = 400;
}

GUI = 
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1920;
height = 1080;
}

UIMainView = GUI

My GUI is ok, try to change

 

UIMainView = GUI -> UIMainView = Viewports.Center

[Livers]

My GUI is ok, try to change

 

UIMainView = GUI -> UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

Thank you! I was missing that piece in my two monitor setup, it now works great.

[piXel496]

I am happy to notice "UIMainView = Gui" is fixed in DCS 1.5.3.51171 (update from 03-11-2016)

 

Dear developers thanks!

 

 

 

My monitor config as a reference:

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Monitor T-config');
Description = 'Monitor config'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 2560;
         height = 1680;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 2560 / 1680;
    }	  
}
Gui =
{
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
    width = 2560;
    height = 1080;
}
UIMainView = Gui

Two things

1. current version of 1.5.5 is not listing all the monitor configurations located in Config/monitorsetup

2. With that said I can no longer center the GUI as its not reading any file because my file is not listed.

3. Since my LUA is not listed I cant use my extended monitors

4. I tried deleting options.lua in my user profile with no results

Problem fixed. Didnt comment out PVI setup properly which through everything off.
