Please Post your Monitor Setup LUA and the Physical Resolution of your Monitors,

 

I'm Assuming your Running 3x 1280x1024 Screens? (I'd Assume since your also running 3 viewports and not one unified (ie Eyefinity/nVidia Surround), then you Aspect should be that of each screen.

 

ie for LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT, Under the Dimensions/Settings in the LUA should be:

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

I have 4 monitors. 3 of them has physical resolution of 1280x1024. the 4th monitor is actually a 4k TV. Game runs only on these 3 monitors. No nVidia Surround turned on. Actual resolution of whole desktop is 3840x3184.

This is how it looks like:

This is settings:

 

This is 3 cameras LUA, which i havn't touched:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('3 Screen');

Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera'

Viewports =

{

Left =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = -1;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

},

 

Center =

{

x = screen.width / 3;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

},

 

Right =

{

x = screen.width * 2 / 3;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 1;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

}

}

 

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

--[[

also you can use "displays" table to perfectly match you configuration .

it is generated by DCS automatically.

displays table is contains information about all currently attached displays

 

for example my setup is :

 

displays =

{

[1] =

{

x = 0, -- note : x == 0 and y == 0 is always mark primary windows display

y = 0,

width = 1920,

height = 1200

},

[2] =

{

x = -1440, -- mark that secondary display is on left side of primary display

y = 0,

width = 1440,

height = 900

},

... for all displays

}

 

screen table also contain x, y members which mark top left corner of DCS window

 

note about fullscreen : directx doesn't allow fullscreen applications with resolutions more than primary display can handle,

so multimonitor presets in DCS will fall back to windowed mode if fullscreen initialization failed ( this info also will be printed to dcs.log)

 

for reconfigure viewports setup for each unit type independently you can declare here function

 

function reconfigure_for_unit(unit_type) --unit type is string with unit name

if unit_type == "A-10C" then

 

Viewports = ... define new Viewports table

-- also you can define cockpit displays viewports here

RIGHT_MFCD = ... define new RIGHT_MFCD viewport

 

else

Viewports = ... define default for others

RIGHT_MFCD = nil -- remove for others

end

end

If it will help:

TV Philips 49PUS7909 (pluged via HDMI port)

Left monitor Samsung SyncMaster 710N (pluged via Display port)

Center monitor Samsung SyncMaster 173p Plus (pluged via DVI-D port)

Right monitor Samsung SyncMaster 710N (pluged via DVI-I port)

hm... I can't replicate the wrong aspect you have on the Map view. On my end it looks normal. Your monitor lua looks ok also so no idea what's going on.

 

One thing I think you could try is (I think the screen.aspect / 3 is somehow messed up because of the 4th monitor/TV), replace all lines with

 

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

 

to

 

aspect = X / Y;

 

where X is your individual monitor width (in pixels) and Y is individual monitor height (in pixels)

 

Can you please try it and tell us how you go?

[AfkMan]

Same here. I made this:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('3 Screen');

Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera'

Viewports =

{

Left =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = -1;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1280/1024;

},

 

Center =

{

x = screen.width / 3;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1280/1024;

},

 

Right =

{

x = screen.width * 2 / 3;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 1;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1280/1024;

}

}

 

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

 

and that not helped.

Alright, I found a bug report that seems to show your issue (bug #32099) which has recently been fixed in Tester's version. So now have to wait till its merged into OB or public version of DCS.

[sslechta]

Thanks Kuky. I've had the same issue too when I run in 3 screens. All looks good except the map.

 

Looking forward to seeing that fix.

[AfkMan]

There was an update and it took no effect.

[sslechta]

It probably was not on this update.
