Trouble with second screen showing duplicates of primary screen

[Tumbleweed]

Hi,

 

I ordered a cheapo 7" reversing TFT colour monitor from eBay which accepts HDMI and VGA. It's arrived and all up n running but I'm having problems setting up a working monotor lua configuration so I can put some instruments on the 7 inch display.

 

I've searched around and tried various things from posts I've read but most of them are out dated.

 

What I've done so far is create a simple monitor lua which I'll post a little further down. I've turned off full screen in game and set the resolution in game to the combined resolution of both monitors. I've checked and in Windows, I have my big screen as my primary with the desktop extended on to the 7 inch screen. In the windows display options, the main monitor is the left most monitor with the smaller 7" monitor set up immediately to the right but at the top.

 

I have the main viewport set up and working okay in the LUA but I can't seem to get any instruments to export to the second monitor. What I keep getting is this (see attached image) no matter what things I try to export.

 

Here's my monitor LUA:

 

Viewports = 
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920;
         height = 1080;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.7777777777778;
    },
    
    GUI =
   {
       x = 0;
       y = 0;
       width = 1920;
       height = 1080;
   },
    
    
   ED_A10C_LEFT_MFCD =
   {
    x = 1930;
    y = 10;
    width = 600;
    height = 600;
   }

             
    
}

UIMainView =  Viewports.Center

Any help really appreciated!

 

Oh, this is for the 1.5 DCS BTW! Sorry, should have said.

 

 

Thanks :)
