Su-25T, bigger shkval problem

[sea2sky]

Hi guys,

 

I've searched the forum, and could not find any hint to solve my problem. I'm running two monitor setup (2 cameras - center and bottom) one on top of the other, and love it. In order to solve some target acquisition difficulties I decided to output a bigger size Shkval (hello, realism) to a separate viewport at the top right corner of the bottom monitor. When shkval is off it is of normal size, but when I turn it on it shows twice bigger. So far so good, but there is a bit of an issue: when shkval is off there is a rectangle with the red tint is painted exactly at the position of the viewport. I can live with that, but ideally would want to fix it. I'm attaching 2 screenshots for both - shkval on and off (the black line across is a bezel), and wondering if anybody has any idea about what to edit in order to make this rectangle fully transparent.

Really? Nobody ever tried to output shkval to a separate viewport??

I have mine on a separate viewport but I dont render the cockpit that way. Mine only renders on the top screen. The bottom screen is blank so I can use helios.

 

It looks to me like your game is rendering on both monitors and then you're exporting the viewport of the shkval over top of that render. The red rectangle is the absence of anything showing there when your shkval is off.

It isn't growing any bigger when turned on....youre seeing where it would render if it was operating. I'll try to take a screen shot of mine tonight.

exactly. but my question is - where do I change that red tint value so it would become completely transparent? Is it possible at all?

[Beeroshima]

A good question and one if you find the answer to, id like you to share with me. A better possibility might be turning off the export completely if the camera isn't active. Although, I don't think this is possible because DCS won't update your settings in real-time. A restart is required.

Hello, could you explain how can I produce the same viewport for shakval?. Thanks in advance.

I have a green screen Mod for my Ka-50's Shkval that I have it titled, "Toby's Green Screen Mod" . A quick search I found this old thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=102334

 

Might give you some ideas. I am color blind I prefer the black & white default version. I don't know where I found it. I made it JSGME compatible. I have the file, probably could send it to you if interested. I think it is a .zip or .rar file. But it is for the Ka-50 copter.

Thanks for the hint, DieHard. That may help.

here is my monitor lua:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('2screen_shkval.lua');

Description = '2 monitors and shkval';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1920/1200;

},

 

Bottom =

{

x = 0;

y =1200;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = -1.16;

aspect = 1920/1080;

}

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 1000;

y = 1200;

width = 920;

height = 650;

}

GUI =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;
