Multi monitor help (A10C / MFCD exports)

[epoch]

Hi

 

I'm struggling to get my MFCDs and CDU exported to my right-hand monitor.

 

I have 2 1920x1080 screens. I'm using the old HawgTouch software to manipulate the MFCDs and CDU. It's years since I used this setup and I lost my previous working configs.

 

When I fire up the game, I'm getting the UI occupying the left half of the left monitor instead of the full screen, and at a really low res. It's unusable - I can't even see the Quit option (need to kill the process).

 

I'm assuming it's an aspect ratio issue but I'm unsure what it should be. When I selected the 3840x1080 resolution it changed the aspect to 3.5555555556 or something. That didn't work. So I tried 1.7777777777778 .. still no luck.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice on resolving this.

 

 

My monitor setup lua:

 

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('MFCD+UFC');
Description = 'Camera on left screen, MFCDs & UFC on right screen'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920;
         height = 1080;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = screen.aspect;
    }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
    x = 2010;
    y = 73;
    width = 403;
    height = 403;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
    x = 2628;
    y = 73;
    width = 403;
    height = 403;
}

CDU_SCREEN = 
{     
x = 3231;
   y = 32;
   width = 226;
   height = 171;
}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

 

And the graphics section from options.lua:

 

 

	["graphics"] = {
	["DOF"] = 0,
	["HDR"] = 0,
	["LensEffects"] = 0,
	["MSAA"] = 1,
	["SSAO"] = 0,
	["anisotropy"] = 4,
	["aspect"] = 1.7777777777778,
	["chimneySmokeDensity"] = 2,
	["civTraffic"] = "high",
	["clouds"] = 1,
	["clutterMaxDistance"] = 1000,
	["cockpitGI"] = 1,
	["disableAero"] = true,
	["effects"] = 3,
	["flatTerrainShadows"] = 1,
	["forestDistanceFactor"] = 1,
	["fullScreen"] = true,
	["heatBlr"] = 0,
	["height"] = 1080,
	["lights"] = 2,
	["motionBlur"] = 0,
	["multiMonitorSetup"] = "mfcd-cdu-r",
	["outputGamma"] = 2.3,
	["preloadRadius"] = 60000,
	["scaleGui"] = true,
	["shadowTree"] = false,
	["shadows"] = 4,
	["sync"] = false,
	["terrainTextures"] = "max",
	["textures"] = 2,
	["treesVisibility"] = 10000,
	["useDeferredShading"] = 1,
	["visibRange"] = "Ultra",
	["water"] = 2,
	["width"] = 3840,
},

You need to uncheck Fullscreen in the DCS/system options tab.

Thanks Scarecrow. I'll try that when I get home.

 

Does the aspect ratio look correct or should I revert to the 3.5 it originally set itself to?

I would try it with the 3.5 first and see how that goes. I think that should be right. :)
