hansangb Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Bonjour is Apple's location service/zero conf protocol. So if simvc is using Bonjour to find it, you'll need Bonjour for Windows. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWC_Alamo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hey Maestro72x, Based on your recommendation, I thought I would give simvc a try before diving into Helios and Capt Zeen. It appeared to be simple to setup, but I must have done something wrong. The display setup screen looked great with nice crisp images, but when I run DCS, the exported displays are blurred and unreadable. To show you the problem, attached are pictures: (1) of my configuration, (2) the simvc display setup screen, (3) the resulting DCS FA-18C with simvc , (4) closeup of blurry left DDI, (5) closeup of blurry right DDI, and (6) closeup of blurry AMPCD. It appears like the export is writing the image two or three times but shifting a pixel each time. I have repeated the setup several times without affecting the problem. Do you have any idea of whats wrong and how to fix it? Monitor 1 is a 55" 4k TV for main cockpit, Monitor 2 is a 27" 1920X1080 auxiliary display and Monitor 3 is another 27" 1920X1080 display for the instrument panel.

TWC_Alamo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thanks Panther. That helped, but the images are still blurry, but more readable. I tried reducing the settings further (i.e. 0.3 and 0.1), but noticed that began effecting the DDIs and AMPCD on the main screen. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3555460&postcount=117 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3555530&postcount=118 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] TWC_Alamo Denver, CO Military Flight Sim I7-7700K, 4.9 GHz, Z270-Gaming MB, 16GB, 512GB EVO-960 NVMe M.2, 512GB WD Black NVMe M.2, 1 TB SSD Raid, EVGA RTX 2080ti, Samsung Odyssey Plus, TM HOTAS/MFDs, MFG Crosswinds, Gametrix 908 JetSeat GA Flight Sim I7-5820K, 4.2Ghz, Godlike Carbon MB, 16GB, 512 GB EVO 960 NVME M.2, 2 X SSD, EVGA 1080ti, HTC Vive, 3 X 4K 55" TVs, 4 X 27" Monitors, CH: Flight Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know if it's possible to export the HUD? I've used Capt Zeen's solution to export the various displays as follows: Looking at the HUD's AVQ_32 init.lua, it looks generally similar to the other displays' configuration. So I added these lines: -- Capt Zeen mod dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_HUD") -- And put an 'F18_HUD' viewport in my monitors file but no luck in seeing it. I'm wanting to extract the HUD as I've done previously using FSX / SuperBug. Here's my 'real' HUD using a first-surface mirror and teleprompter mirror, with a projected screen in the background: Edited September 8, 2018 by Tiberius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Turns out it is possible: I got it to work by changing this line in AVQ32_init.lua: --indicator_type = indicator_types.COLLIMATOR indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON As seen above, it does not seem to have disturbed the HUD in the cockpit view.
