Start DCS on second minitor?

[IonicRipper]

Is there a way to tell DCS to start on monitor 2? I'm trying a new setup where monitor 2 is right in front of me so i need DCS to start on that screen.

Edit the multi monitor config lua file and give the position you want it to start. You most likely start at 0,0 now. The numbers depend on how your desktop is setup.

[JG14_Smil]

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('1 Screen');

Description = 'One monitor configuration'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect;

}

}

 

You would edit x and y values. 0,0 is top left corner of monitor that is furthest to the left. Note you may have to enter exact values for width, height and aspect ratio. DCS uses variables by default, ie.- "screen.height" can also be 1080 or whatever your monitor resolution is.

OR right click on desktop > Display Settings > click on monitor 2 then scroll down and tick the 'make this my main display' box.

So i would also like to know how exactly this is possible without making the secondary monitor the primary display.
I changed x,y with some numbers but nothing is happening.

try the suggestion of this post, I have not tried it myself, as I have a single monitor, but looks promising:
