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

[Cougar133]

This is my Own homebuild cockpit , i wanted a much more modern fighter cockpit , based on Razbam M2000 ., with much more views than 2000C , i can use MFD and add other views in the future , like Failure Panel .....

Guys do you know if it works for the DCS 2 alpha or just for the 1.5?

I have tried everything but I cant get the M2000 Radar nor RWR.

I do get the MFDs of other planes though.

Hello gang, been working with the M2K MM for a while and for some reason can't get it to work. I have read all the posts, tried them one by one but maybe my eyes are tired and I can't find the mistake. I have the RWR to work but the radar I can't make it to work.

 

I have the A-10C and F-15C set the way I want them so I think I have a basic understanding on how this works.

 

Have 2 24" monitors 1920x1200 with a total of 3840x1200. This is the last settings I am using, the radar works fine in the Center but not in the extended monitor, the RWR works on both.

 

First my Monitor Setup (I am using only one file for testing purposes).

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('M-2000');

Description = 'Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center'

 

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

Since last update there is à command in game to let VTB come up. Check keyboard command.

Thanks so much, can't believe I missed that post. Now it is working. :thumbup:

Radar

 

I'm having the same problem, i got RWR working, but i can't get the radar to work?

I tried everything suggested in the posts, but it just wont work :(

Any help would be appreciated cause it's driving me nuts lol

Weird, i can see the radar screen on my second monitor while i'm in outside view...

But when i'm in cockpit view it dissapears?

[33rd_Elvis]

I have same problem:huh:

[PiedDroit]

I have same problem:huh:

It was reported in bug section:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=161433

 

To see it in cockpit view you need to bind a key (Toggle VTB viewport)

[33rd_Elvis]

In view optionen from the game? I don´t find Toggle VTB viewport.

[PiedDroit]

In view optionen from the game? I don´t find Toggle VTB viewport.

In Mirage-2000C controls, "All", the exact name is "VTB Viewport ON/OFF", sorry about misleading you to look for "Toggle" :music_whistling::D

Thank´s for your support PiedDroit. I found it. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Hello guys ,

 

since last update , all my exports are down . only the Radar is visible , but i had to fix the position who has changed ...

 

is there some modifications to add to retrieve all my views ( RWR , COM , PCA , PPA ... )

new lines to add to .LUA ?

 

thank you !

[Gliptal]

Same here, I managed to get the VTB export working, but the RWR won't show.

[Cougar133]

No way to fix it ? :cry:

[Panthir]

Well guys, same situation here. The following setup with the addition dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar") to the VTB_ini.lua was working excellently earlier.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('M2000C');

Description = 'Mirage2000 + Radar'

 

primary =

{

x = 1280;

y = 0;

width = screen.width - 1280;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = (screen.width - 1280) / screen.height ;

}

 

secondary =

{

x = 480;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 800/0.9;

}

 

third =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 800/0.9;

}

UIMainView = primary

Mirage_Radar = secondary

Mirage_RWR = third

Viewports = {UIMainView}

 

Unfortunately, now I can export only RWR. Radar is invisible. Fortunately, by accident I noticed that radar was finally appeared to the second monitor when I went to external view (F2 or F3) and disappear again when I go to cockpit view.

 

Any idea how to fix this. I hope that what I found it will help you.

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_Radar") to the VTB_ini.lua was working excellently earlier. [..]

 

1. Use the default VTB_init.lua
   
2. Create a viewport named "RIGHT_MFCD" in your monitor.lua
   
3. map "VTB Viewport ON/OFF" in config/controls in order to see the VTB export while in cockpit.
   

Alternatively, name your viewport "VTB" and in VTB_init.lua, change the following line only:

try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")

to

try_find_assigned_viewport("VTB","RIGHT_MFCD")

[Gliptal]

Has anyone managed to get the RWR to export yet?

[Panthir]

Dear PiedDroit,

How can I map "VTB Viewport ON/OFF" in config/controls in order to see the VTB export while in cockpit?

I assess that this is the only problem, cause cockpit is exported when i select F2 or F3 views (outside cockpit).

 

Dear Gliptal

 

The above setup exports successfuly RWR, just locate RWR_init.lua in

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\RWR and add the following lines

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

try_find_assigned_viewport("Mirage_RWR")

 

Be advised that there is no space between the letters t and H in "ViewportHandling.lua".

Hi Panthir,

This one is tricky as a while ago the export VTB_init.lua was fixed, allowing export without changes in the file (except maybe the name of the viewport which I indicated above, if you want more flexibility).

 

Also the VTB was made toggleable, however it is hidden by default in the cockpit and always visible in F2 views (which is kind of a bug and already reported, it's very confusing).

The mapping in is controls, see picture.

 

Once you mapped it, pressing the key will make the VTB visible while in cockpit.

 

Guys at RAZBAM know about it and many have requested that the VTB be ON by default.

Thanks, I somehow had forgotten the dofile() line previously.

[Panthir]

Many Thanks

[Snacko]

Why does the VTB export viewport have a key to toggle it on/off? I have lot's of viewports for many aircraft and none of them do it this way. This is strange..

[Gliptal]

It's not that it has a key, but rather that it's off by default. :D

[Snacko]

Yes, agreed!
