Exporting Radar to second monitor.

[Gunnergolly]

Have been trying to export the radar display to a second monitor without success, has anybody managed to achieve this yet ?.

[Scooternutz]

Yes. I have the radar and the data display exported.

 

See attached files. You must rename them to just init.lua.

 

File locations:

 

Radar: X:/DCS World XXX/Mods/aircraft/AJS37/Cockpit/scripts/radar

 

Data: X:/DCS World XXX/Mods/aircraft/AJS37/Cockpit/scripts/Data

 

BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS!

PM if you need some help.

datainit.lua

radarinit.lua

Thanks Scooternutz, much appreciated.

[RastaPutin]

Is this still working?

 

My data folder has subfolder ... /Indicator

My radar folder has subfolders .. / Device and /Indicator

 

Also my main monitor in windows/DCS is my GFX #2 port ... might I have to alter any code?

 

As yet I dont see anything happening.

You are right, there is an indicator folder as well. Sorry bout that. I am attaching my monitor file as well for an example of how I have everything set up.

Just downloaded your files and copied them in the right directories. How do I get the radar image on my second screen?

 

(if I choose 3 screens in setup, I get a very narrow window for DCS on my main screen).

See his custom.lua file - near the top.

You need to have your resolution set in the gui to the width of all your monitors, and the correct modified 1 screen monitorsetup/lua selected, but in your .lua file have the Center viewport defined as just the width of the 3d screen/camera. Notice that the MFDs, radar etc are all defined outside of this area. Also, you need to combine any multiple monitors that are used for the main viewport into one screen using "Surround" or similar.

[Snail]

If I understand it right, it's not possible with my setup. I have a main 1920 x 1080 screen and two small 800 x 600 monitors which I normally use for my BMS F-16 setup as MFD's.

Yes you can. However this is one of the things i really hate with DCS, since the current solution takes a huge hit on performance.

In order to add you two extra monitors you must have DCS set to render a total resolution of 3520*1080 (1920+800+800).

 

Not really sure how it is done with UltraMFCD, but a native support like that in DCS with exports than can me moved around and resized as desired would be awesome.

[dbpetrol]

I think you can "save" pixels by putting the small displays under the big display.

 

All displays "in a row": (1920+800+800)*1080=3,8 megapixel

Big display on top, small under: 1920*(1080+600)=3,2 megapixel

forgive me for being a plonker .. :) ... but this file custom.lua, is what?

Is it a script run at mission start via the editor or a file placed in some folder ?

Why does the MiG-21 radar automatically show up on the right screen but the Viggen's radar doesn't?

[Deezle]

Why does the MiG-21 radar automatically show up on the right screen but the Viggen's radar doesn't?

Because the Mig Radar init.lua file has the export line already in it and the Viggen doesn't.

No joy yet ... i must be thick.. lol

Has anyone get a step by step idiots guide .. :)

Yes please? I'm not really familiar with these things.

[soberdude05]

Hello dbpetrol, I am trying to export the TVDISPLAY to same monitor lower right. I have done the mfd's in A10C, but can't figure this one out. I am not a scripter, but can follow along pretty well.

Thanks for any help.

Where do you put this file?

Is it renamed ?:helpsmilie:

[Scooternutz]

I have attached all of my exports, my screen config, and a screenshot of how to get the right screen coordinates.

 

Take a screenshot of your entire desktop, do not crop it, and paste in Paint. In Paint, use the select function to move the cursor to get the correct position coordinates and then select the area to get the X and Y size.

 

I am also including, in the spoiler, the autoexec.bat that I use to insert the files after an update. It will also show you where to place the exported init.lua files. If you don't want to make your own autoexec.bat just look at it so you know where to place the files. the Viggen file locations are at the bottom.

 

Quick note on the Maverick Export: It works but is floats around. I tried it and did not like it at all. I am figuring out a way to lock in one position.

 

My Viggen HELIOS profile is just a basic place holder until I finish it. Very limited and I did not include it. I have the NAV DATA exported, the Waypoint Display, and the RADAR.

Thank you for your post above. I do have one question and that is why do you prefer an autoexec method rather than using JSGME or the newer OvGME for uninstalling mods and reinstalling mods after an update?

I just haven't gotten around to making the file structure in OvGME. I should do that.

[Scooternutz]

Attached is the OvGME/JSGME exports mods for the A-10C, M-2000C, Ka-50, MIG-21bis, Gazelle, and the AJS37 Viggen.

 

If you find a mistake let me know. Wanted to get this out.

Again no doubt a basic question:

 

I have a two monitor set up ... 2nd monitor on the right .

Using all the Scootz stuff ( modded where nessesary) what should my in game monitor selection be to see stuff on the 2nd monitor. Ta

[RastaPutin]

Found this post very helpful.

Got nice big radar working on second monitor , with LatLong numeric data display and the waypoint display.

 

Has anyone got the maverick TV sight exported ... ??
