[REPORTED]Pop-up window spawning outside of visible area of monitors

[dslawek]

I use 3 monitors (1280x1024 + 1920x1080 + 1280x1024) with config:

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('3_Monitors');
Description = '1280 + 1920 + 1280'

Viewports = 
{
 Center = 
 {
   x = 1280;
   y = 0;
   width = 1920;
   height = 1080;
   viewDx = 0;
   viewDy = 0;
   aspect = 1920/1080;
 }
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center

I can't move 2D overlay NS430 (there no is window bar).

 

If I remove 'UIMainView' from configuration, the window bar is and I can move 2D overlay NS430.

Interesting, I have only 2 screens and only use one for DCS but I'll try and reproduce this tonight.

 

Thanks for reporting, I'll get back to you.

Haven't forgotten you, it's storm season here :/

 

Anyhow, taking a look now.

 

Edit:

 

Just checked this out and couldn't see this problem with mine. Maybe due to my only having 2 screens, maybe due to dumb luck.

 

We'll have to find someone else with a 3 screen setup to check against.

Apologies, but thank you for your report all the same.

I'm back.

Problem occurs when DCS uses all screens. In my case, the resolution is set 4480x1080: (

1280 +

1920 +

1280) x 1080.

[REPORTED]Pop-up window spawning outside of visible area of monitors

 

I have a 3 screen setup with different resolutions and it appears that the NS430 popup window is either spawning outside the visible area of my monitors or behind the main view port. It works if I play in single screen mode but it is of no use for me if I cant use with my multimonitor setup...

Two monitor setup, can't see the pop-up window pressing LShif+LAlt+B, though cockpit lighting changes as per reported bug.

 

Monitor 1 2560x1440, monitor 2 1920x1080

 

Just need to know where the location setting is in the .lua files please

Found a workaround/solution:

 

Use windows display settings to align monitors on bottom edge

 

 

You will probably have to adjust your monitor setup .lua file to align the screens again, popup now appears bottom right of second monitor.

For example I had to add "y=380" under my left and right MFCD entries to move the MFCD displays down on my second monitor so the tops weren't cut off.

 

 

My Monitor.lua file

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('1440+1080');

Description = 'Two monitor configuration';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 2560;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.77777778;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 2560;

y = 380;

width = 960;

height = 960;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 3520;

y = 380;

width = 960;

height = 960;

}

 

SA342_TV =

{

x = 2660;

y = 360;

width = 1280;

height = 1080;

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

i have the same problem.

But for the change the positon is not the solution, because in windows its better for me to have the second under the first in the left corner.

maybe the "spawn" Point of the Window can be changed to Upper left corner?

Bought the module and found myself with the same problem. Tried pressing the view buttons but nothing showed up, had to go looking on forums. Not a great first impression given I'd expect multi-monitor setups to be rather common with people flying DCS. Also worried about this issue still not having been addressed while this thread seems to have existed since July.

 

Using a 3840x1080 main panel and a 136x768 auxiliary panel.

Same problem here...3 monitors:helpsmilie:

 

i'm dreaming about solution "maybe the "spawn" Point of the Window can be changed to Upper left corner?" :smartass:

[JunMcKill]

In my case in VR is only showing the upper bar! when they will fix this?

[flying-coyotus]

Thanks to the forum I have found (not the documentation which is not complete as usual).

 

Il fact the NS430 appears at the bottom right of the global resolution (i have 4 screens), but the bottom right was not cover by a screen, so i put down my top right screen in windows, change the position of the MFD, and now i can see the NS430...

 

DCS should have developped a solotion to choose where to pop up the NS430...

[Galwran]

Hopefully we get some fixes soon... this is getting ridiculous

[mkiii]

Not any time soon. It still happens - I just relented and bought th thing and it still pops up at the bottom right of all monitors, which is a bit of a pain if your right hand monitor is smaller than the others, and all your instrument exports are sent to it, making moving it on the setup just to get the gps to show is a non trivial affair. At least we can drag the thing if we can at least see the title bar, unlike Control Indicators and Kneepads.
