Can't disable MPCD export

[epoch]

Some time ago I saw this thread and I exported my left and right MPCDs to my other monitor.

 

I don't want to export the screens any more, but for some reason I can't disable the export.

 

The following lines are commented out in the MPCDL/MPCDR.LUA respectively:

 

--try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")

--try_find_assigned_viewport("LEFT_MFCD")

 

Yet each time I start up the AV8B, as soon as turn on an MPCD it exports a copy on top of my main window. I then have to toggle the [Left MPCD view export on/off] and [Right MPCD view export on/off] commands to turn off the export.

 

How do I permanently prevent the MPCDs from exporting?

 

(I'm probably missing something completely obvious but thanks in advance for any advice).

Anyone able to help me with this one? It's driving me nuts!

can't you just go to:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup

and edit the monitor config .lua file you are using, and remove the LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD sections?

The Harrier doesn’t export MFCD unless you activate it with keyboard commands when you start a mission. I run 2 monitors have to do this every time at the start of a mission. Are you saying that your MFCDs get exported automatically no matter what?

Already been there. Not enabled. This is my .lua

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('1 Screen');
Description = 'One monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width;
         height = screen.height;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = screen.aspect;
    }
}
GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

Yes, that's the problem. As far as I can tell I'm not exporting them. From my options.lua:

 

		["AV8BNA"] = {
		["CPLocalList"] = "default",
		["INS_Alignment"] = 0,
		["INS_GYROHasNAV"] = false,
		["MPCD_EXPORT"] = false,
	},

Have you tried checking the box in the "SPECIAL" settings tab from the game menu?

 

Also, would love to know what you did, because I actually want them on permanently.

I've tried checking/unchecking the 'special' box yeah. That's what the ["MPCD_EXPORT"] settings is in the options.lua I pasted above.

 

What I did to get it permanent was follow the thread I linked to in my original post.
