Mirage 2000C - how to export radar and rwr to second monitor

[hreich]

Hi...i just spent 2 hours reading through forums and topics about exporting data to second monitor. But for the love of God i can't figure how to export radar and rwr for mirage 2000c ,and i don't have so much time and my kids wouldn't allow me to spend another hour trying to figure this out...I am using these JGSME files to export data for A-10C and Ka--50 to my second monitor (pad2). Then i use touch server ipad app - so i can get some sort of working abris/shkval display cockpit for ka-50 and working MFCDs and CDU for a-10.

These files i am using with JGSME are here for you to check:

https://app.box.com/s/uzv3btt6266u6iej9znh0402h9e0sxs9

 

How can I add another section in those files so i can have export from mirage 2000c to my second monitor. Configuration i use is:

main screen 1920*1080 - on the left and extraction monitor on the right - same resolution.

This post describes how to export additional indicators to external monitors.

 

For the Mirage, the files you want are Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\VTB\VTB_init.lua for the radar and Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\RWR\RWR_init.lua for the RWR.

Thanks, works great :thumbup:

[Mr_Burns]

I cant get it to display following the intructions above:

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."devices_defs.lua")

 

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

--purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

 

I tried putting thr try_find prompt at the top and here in the middle - this stops the Radar working in the cockpit. I tried putting it at the end and that leaves the Radar in the cockpit working.

 

I then have this:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Mirage2000C');

Description = 'Setup for Mirage Virtual Cockpit Radar Exports.'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 2048;

height = 1152;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.7;

}

}

 

Mirage_Radar =

{

x = 600;

y = 1305;

width = 800;

height = 800;

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

And my cockpit resolution in game as 2048x2304 but it will not display.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

[Deezle]

Seems like the line you added has some extra stuff.

 

Try this at the very end of the file.

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

Thank you, that did it - rep inbound good man!!

[hreich]

Thank you ..it worked for me but i had to change this line

 

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."Viewpor tHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

 

to

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."Viewporthandling.lua")

 

But now i have problem with shkval screen - it looks like in this picture

being a bit of a noob i'm confused, i presume when you say put at the end of the file you mean the "lua" file. exactly where in the file, any chance someone can show the complete file\files. thanks.

[hreich]

You have to put for example - this in file for Radar - in mirage that is

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."Viewpor tHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

 

the files you want are Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\VTB\VTB_init.lua

 

And after that you need to have modified monitor.lua file (in folder config/MonitorSetup in dcs world) and add the part for exporting radar:

 

--//////////////////////////////////////

-- Mirage 2000 =

--//////////////////////////////////////

Mirage_Radar =

{

x = 1921;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 800;

}

[SirBunker]

Thanks guys for the scripts, I now have working viewports too. One problem though, I use these on a single screen as PiP views, is there any way to script a dark background for the radar screen?

[shaz56]

thanks hreich, I understand you have to insert the new lines, but I need to know where exactly to insert and does the original 'dofile' line stay or go in the lua file. Sorry but us older nubs can be a bit slow, LOL. This is why I asked for the whole picture not just a snapshot. I have the A10C MFCD's and the F15C's radar working on a fourth screen but Bazram seem to have done it differently, thanks again.

[tempusmurphy]

cheers Hreich .. worked a treat..

[Greekbull]

Going to work on exporting today...does anyone know the labels of the other digital displays on the main cockpit and if those are exportable? Was thinking of taking a Hi Res screen shot of the main panel and cutting out holes for the radar, RWR and stores management to run on my helios monitor for the time being until someone who knows a lot more about helios than me actually builds a profile :D

I am also new in this export thing myself..I just managed to get my export working today by following this post http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2133064&postcount=2

but i edited files for mirage - file you need to edit for radar is

 

Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\VTB\VTB_init.lua - in there i added 2 lines at the end of file

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

 

and edited my monitor profile file which is here DCS WORLD\Config\MonitorSetup

and added these lines at the end

Ok I'm having issues...I'm really green with this but have been able to get it working with the A-10C and F-15C in helios...

 

When I go to the DCSWORLD\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit ---> ViewportHandling.lua I'm not seeing any file named Viewport handling in 2.0 or 1.5. Do I need to make it?

 

I'm using a 3840x2160 main monitor and a 1920x1080 touchscreen for my instruments. Here's what I have for the files...

Anything you guys see me missing? Is that third file needing to be created? Any help will be hugely appreciated!!! Thanks!

[Mr_Burns]

You made the same mistake I did, remove the space ViewportHandling.lua is all one word.

 

 

 

No need for a third file.

Thank You very much!!! That solved all of my problems. I was able to get a lot more stuff extracted. Here's a link to the thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=156943

 

Hopefully some more of you are Helios users and would like to pitch in to get a good profile going. Right now mine will just display all of the exports. But no switches or side panels.

Guys now i have problem exporting F-15c radar and rwr...I don't see needen files in FC3 folder - like i did for mirage:

 

Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\VTB\VTB_init.lua - in there i added 2 lines at the end of file

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."Viewpor tHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar")

 

Where are needed files for F-15c?

[FSFIan]

The F-15C is a FC3 aircraft, so you won't find separate indicator files.

Try exporting LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD and see what you get.
