Indicators on Multi-Monitor

[St3v3f]

So I have just started using a second screen for exporting MFDs etc.

 

My main screen has a resolution of 1920x1080, the new screen comes with 1440x900 and is aligned on the right side in windows.

 

My MonitorSetup.lua for the Huey looks contains just the main screen:

Center =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1920;
height = 1080;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1920 / 1080;
}

 

However there are several things being displayed on the 2nd screen which shouldn't be, namely the autopilot and weapons display, crew status, cargo camera and cargo indicator.

 

Now the thing is: How do I get those back on the main screen?

 

I've searched the forums and found out that I need to change the init.luas, but I can't figure out what to change and what values to use.

 

Can somebody please help me?

 

I am wondering why this is even necessary. This isn't an uncommon setup, so why do you need to edit configuration files instead of the module figuring this out by itself?

 

Any help is appreciated:helpsmilie:

What is the resolution set in the game options? And the above is the entirety of your monitorsetup lua file?

 

And finally, in Windows monitor setup, the 1920/1080 monitor is on the left as Monitor 1, correct? And how is your second monitor aligned? At the top of the screen or bottom of the screen.

 

This is why I'm asking: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2616874&postcount=799

The entire MonitorSetup.lua is this:

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

The FullHD screen is set as main screen in windows, screen two is aligned on the right, slightly lower at x=1920 y=84. Resolution ingame is 3360x1080
