mhe Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Hi, is there a way to include a bit of programming logic into the monitor config? Something like "if aircraft flown = Warthog -> create the following viewports" so I can unify my monitor config for Helios and being able to switch aircraft in the middle of an MP mission without having to reload anything (other than manually switching Helios profile)? | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
flyco Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I got around this, and produced a universal monitor config lua, by ensuring that any exported display had a unique name. I then set up the monitor config file up to show all of the exported displays. Only the ones for the aircraft loaded were then exported for display within the Helios templates. I came across a problem with the AV-8B where the ports were named the same as those in the A-10C, but were required to go in a different position. To get around this I hacked the relevant lua files for the AV-8B to change the name of the displays, by putting ‘AV-8B_’ in front of each. A bit messy, but by installing the hacked lua files as mods, I could remove them when updating and re-install them afterwards.
mhe Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 Yes, I know that I could just rename the export targets for each individual instrument per plane to make them unique, but that becomes painful quite quickly. Since most Helios profiles are shared by others and they use standard names, I wanted to just do a monitor config for all and leave the rest as it is. But thanks for chiming in! | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
