"UIMainView = GUI" not working in 2.0 openalpha

[Terrorvogel]

 

Running latest OpenAlpha 2.0.2.52369 with 3x 3840x2160 UHD displays.

In latest OpenBeta 1.5.3.52478 it is working great.

 

 

 

{
    Center = 
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 11520;
         height = 2160;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 11520/2160;
    }
}





GUI=
   {
       x = 3840;
       y = 0;
       width = 3840;
       height = 2160;
   }    
   
--UIMainView = Viewports.Center
UIMainView = GUI

Cool thanks, I remember that last time I tried this on a 1.5.X version it did not work but it does appear to work with 1.5.4. I would not have tried it again if I had not read this post. It is great to have the radio menu on the center screen. Now if it could only fix me other issues I will be in great shape.

Where should the GUI text be placed? In which file?

\YOUR DCS INSTALL DIR\Config\MonitorSetup

 

Backup up or make a copy of the .lua that you are using for your setup and edit the .lua file as Terrorvogel has shown. Note if you just make a copy when editing you will want to change the name = (xxx) field so that you can ID in game which one you edited.

Something similar seems to have cropped up again for me in the Beta (1.5.6.3930.271).

 

Beta now seems to be ignoring the GUI={...} section, and only looking at the UIMainView = line.

 

This is very odd considering the Beta is the same version as the release right now.

Release and Alpha are still working fine with the exact same Monitor setup lua.
