nadir export

[Hawkeye60]

I thought I would see if I could export the nadir display to my second liliput monitor and it works! Just wanted to use the the extra screen space.

To do this, go to mods\aircraft\sa342\cockpit\nadir\init,lua and add

 

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

try_find_assigned_viewport("NADIR")

 

at end of file.Then make a viewport in monitor config lua for Nadir

 

NADIR =

{

x = 10;

y = 1100;

width = 540;

height = 540;

}

 

Your Position and size may vary. I need to adjust both slightly.

 

I now have both tv and nadir exported.

Think I'll try the radar.

Enjoy, Greg

Very cool. I might have to get my old USB monitors out to use for this.

Brilliant! I wish captain Zeen will take the gazelle as his next helios cockpit project once he finishes the huey. Having a standalone nadir will also be awesome.

Hope this export can be added officially.

I concur!

Thanks for the info Hawkeye.

I couldnt get the Nadir or the radios to export, then i found the culprit:

 

"Viewpor tHandling.lua"

[Hawkeye60]

This seems to be a common problem on this forum, the adding of spaces in the middle of words.

 

I've seen it a number of other times, with the space in the same spot!

 

The text I used for the command was a cut and paste from a working file.

 

Good catch!

[Ligeti]

Will give this a try thanks.

 

Has anyone had any luck with the multiple monitors options in DCS? I have two screens but can never get anything to work on my second screen.

[Whisper]

I tried a similar thing for the RWR, no cigar :(

Has anyone been able to export RWR?

[Mt5_Roie]

Can you share how you got your TV to export? I found my two 7" USB monitors and want to set one up for the TV and one for the NADIR....

 

I will add these exports to our list of enchacements as well to make it easier in the future.

Hi, Add this to the bottom of the tv init.lua

 

 

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

try_find_assigned_viewport("SA342_TV")

 

 

Then create the viewport in your monitor config called SA324_TV.

 

I find that both NADIR and RWR on same screen works well, Just turn down the NADIR and/or RWR brightness when needed. I also assigned all the NADIR controls to the cougar mfd's and have a working NADIR at hand.

 

Enjoy, Can't wait for more weapons, Perhaps next week?

"Has anyone been able to export RWR? "

 

Add this to the bottom of the RWR init.lua file,

 

indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON

purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL}

 

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

try_find_assigned_viewport("GazelleRWR")

 

Then, make the view port in the monitor config file for GazelleRWR.

 

If you have any trouble I'll try to help.

 

Have Fun!

[Hawkeye60]

Just a note, the code above has been altered by a added space in "ViewportHandling" between the r and t, and will not work with it there. I do know the text was fine in the preview window before it was submitted.

Just remove the space if you cut and paste.

[Mt5_Roie]

Ah...I have TV thinking it would work. Will try SA342_TV tomorrow and test it out.

 

 

As for weapons....I'm playing with them now making sure they work nice and well. So we'll say Soon™

So got it working somewhat...I can export it to my main screen ok. But having issues getting it to USB monitors. Wasn't sure it was Gazelle related so posed about it in another thread:

Dammit, I missed your answer! More lines to add than NADIR, I didn't think bout the usual ones.... Thanks a ton, gotta test that asap.

[San Patricio]

By monitor config file, do you mean the one in Config/MonitorSetup? I tried adding the Nadir to the file I use there for my two 8'" Liliputs but it doesn't seem to be working. Do I need to add the port in the ViewportHandling.lua as well?

[Hawkeye60]

You only need to make a viewport in the monitor config file in dcsworld\config\monitorsetup

 

Make sure the name of the viewport matches the name given in the NADIR init.lua file.

 

Hope this helps.

A few more exports to add to the list:

 

SA342L/Mistral Weapons Panel:

Mods\aircraft\SA342\Cockpit\WP1\init.lua

add the following lines to the end of the file:

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("SA342_WP1")

I use the dimensions 408x60 to give an idea of the proper aspect ratio

UHF Radio:

Mods\aircraft\SA342\Cockpit\Radio\Indicator\UHF\init.lua

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("SA342_UHF")

VHF FM Radio:

Mods\aircraft\SA342\Cockpit\Radio\Indicator\FM\init.lua

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("SA342_FM")

I use dimensions of 408x80 for both radios.

 

The UHF radio is particularly useful if you map the number keys to your keyboard (I use a modifier with them) because you can enter frequencies without having to look under the collective.

 

Now if only I could find a way to display the Rocket/Cannon lights in the L...
