Export DDI

[[SFS]JDAM]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to export left and right DDIs on secondary screens? If yes, how?

thank you in advance

[Habu_69]

Yes many are doing it. Search here and in input/output section for Capt. Zeen. He has published basic info.

try to project them when you stretch your upper viewport to the whole

your lower monitor is a black screen

[MustangSally]

Mate it works. What you want it to do is currently NOT SUPPORTED but will be in a later patch!

[MustangSally]

BTW, this should be in the Input - Output thread area

The OP asked for export to another screen, it can be done. What you want can't be done yet as its not supported!!! :doh::doh::doh:

I currently have the left and right ddi as well as ampcd working on three different small monitors which i have attached a cougar mfd over the top to each. Is this what you meant?

After the latest update, my viewports on the MFDs are very light and unreadable. Yours looks great. What did you do?

To be honest, I did nothing. Using the same old multi monitor lua I've used with the A10C. I have a 24" for the exports and 42" multi touch screen for the main monitor.

Something got fixes in the latest (can't resize the MDI's yet, I think)

 

I'm using triple screen and 1 screen underneath width = 5760 height = 2160

Here is my setup

 

That's what I'm trying to do but can't seem to get it. I know nothing about creating .lua files. How did you get it like that?

[Jeepyb]

I got it to work but the lines seems super thick and it is hard to read. How do I fix that ?

Thank you all for your responses. I specify that I would like to export the LDDI and RDDI on two usb "LILIPUT" screens on which I placed the MFD thrusmater. The screens are not tactile.

@ gear_monkey how did you export AMPCD? I have only L/R DDI. Can you give me name of AMPCD as a viewport?

Sorry for late reply, just saw this.

 

By the way...all credit for this goes to Capt_Zeen over in the Input/Output section.

First, go to his website and download the export.lua from this page:

http://www.captzeen.com/helios/downloads.asp

 

Second, go to this thread and look at post #24 from Capt_Zeen.

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=210138&page=3

Download the "MonitorConfiguration Final.rar" file he has in his post and unzip it on your desktop.

 

What I did was open my default DCS folder in one screen and then opened the unzipped rar file in another and opened Capt_Zeen's folder's to see what he had done. In my case the only things I wanted exported are the 2 DDI's and the AMPCD so I ignored the folders for the RWR and UFC, etc.

 

So, in other words, I only ended up copying over his .lua files from:

1) Config -> MonitorSetup -> 2_monitors-FA18.lua

2) Mods -> aircraft -> FA-18C -> Cockpit -> Scripts -> Multipurpose_Display_Group

 

Once you have those .lua's copied over to your DCS install folder, you have to open the 2_monitors-FA18.lua with Notepad++. Since I only wanted the DDI's and AMPCD, I deleted everything else in the lua and then changed the x and y values to move my exported screens to the location I wanted on the second monitor. by the way for me the DDI's fit perfect into the Thrustmaster MFD's with a size of 411x411. The MPCD i have at 512x512.

 

Hope that helps and makes sense.
