UI is spread over, kneeboard is cut

[ron533]

Hi,

 

After much trial and error I've managed to get the F15 MFD's export to my 4th' screen.

 

1. The F10 map is indeed not spread all over the 4 monitors as before which is great!

But the kneeboard is presented on the 4th' most right small screen now,

and is partially cut since that screen is smaller than the main screens.

Any solution for that?

 

2. How do I get the GUI to be presented only in my center screen and not spread all over the 3 main screens,

and only in the 3D world to get the full spread out view?

 

My screens layout is 3x 1920x1200 horizontal, the last one for the mfd's is 1024x768 laid to the right and to top of the 3 screens (logically),

to a total resolution of 7024x1200 (with bezel correction of 240 included).

In game I select to total combined resolution of the screens (7024x1200)

every other option get's everything distorted... :(

 

 

 

Monitor Setup file in spoiler.

 

Thanks!

The UI not being constrainable is reported already.

 

As for knee board, you should he able to resize and move it using kneeboard viewport setting.

Thanks for the info!

Didn't know about kneeboard viewport...

kneeboard re-position

 

Just updating this thread in case anyone needs this.

in order to relocate the kneeboard's position, you should go to:

 

\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit

 

find this file:

 

ViewportHandling.lua

 

and update the below line with the top left position of the kneeboard, i.e 5370,0 in my example below:

 

dedicated_viewport = {5370,0,default_width,default_height}

 

it can also be resized with the rest of the numbers there...

That is NOT the correct to handle view ports.

The correct way is to create the appropriate viewport in the monitor .lua.

 

In that case, try creating a viewport named "KNEEBOARD" and put the new coordinates there

Hi,

 

I've just tried to do that but it failed...

must be something wrong I'm doing.

 

Here is the section in monitor.lua file:

 

 

KNEEBOARD =

{

x = 5370;

y = 600;

width = 300;

height = 450;

}

 

 

anything else I should have changed together with the lua?

 

Thanks

UI still non constrained?

 

Do you know if the UI still can not be constrained to the center monitor out of 3 in surround (as it use to be in 1.2) ??

 

So far I haven't found a solution to a 1 monitor configuration, putting the menu items in the center. now it's spread across 3 screens.

 

I might have missed the solution over the forums - if there was any...

Will appreciate your inputs guys....

I have 3 monitors side-by-side with DCSW 1.5.2 and have center screen and GUI constrained to center monitor. In your monitorSetup .lua file enter center monitor's pixel width and height in the center and GUI parameters. For the center and GUI X= parameter enter the pixel width of the left monitor, as the origin for screen placement is now the upper-most, left-most pixel on the COMBINED monitor screen, as defined by your windows monitor setup. After all the display parameters, enter only the line

Thank you, but I have a one monitor configuration on my 3 screens , not 3 different viewports with left center and right screen in the lua file.

So your advice does not apply here.

I've already tried that.

Is that still a bug or resolved already??

Im trying to find how to constrain the gui to the main screen only, on a one monitor configuration over surround.

please anyone advise ...

thx

AFAIK it's not been resolved.
