Monitor LUA (yet another)

[drmorrish]

I wish ED made this a little easier. I need to make sure the guiding principles are right.

 

I have two monitors.

 

1) 34 inch 3440x1440

1) 21.5 inch 1920x1080

 

Over/under 3440x1440 sitting over the 1920x1080.

 

They are arranged in windows monitor setup in this fashion with the smaller lower monitor biased to the left and aligning with the over head 3440x1440 along the left edge in windows monitor setup. IRL it's centered directly below the upper monitor.

 

Total resolution for the monitor config LUA should be 3440x2520 Correct?

 

I'm exporting 2 DDI's from hornet f18 and the ampcd with an xk60 between them. The ampcd will be centered below the XK keyboard. I'm planning to also export the IFEI to the lower unused left lower side of the smaller monitor and the Standby Attitude Indicator and RWR to the right lower side.

 

Start values will run horizontally from the left 0-3440/Vertical will run 0-2520 with zero in the upper left of the upper monitor. Lower monitors starting Y will be 1441 and will continue down through 2520?

 

Is this correct? Also in the options menu there is no monitor option for two monitors. Which option should I be picking. I've read the guides and watched the youtube videos, I'm just obviously missing something. Thank you in advance.

Should get you started. It's a step by step example that I created.

hansang,

 

epic crash and burn. Followed your tutorial and jammed the game up. Had to delete the saved game config file and delete the monitor LUA to recover. It really didn't like the dis similar resolutions. Seems as though combined resolution which for me is 3440x2520 was trying to be split across the screens evenly which obviously wont work. I has a dream of exported DDI's and ampcd, and that dream is dead.

Can you post your lua file? the one you tried?

[drmorrish]

I’m going to back up my save game, bindings and Default LUA’s and try again. If I fail again I’ll post it. Monitor config and individual lua’s for each unit have to be modded, correct?

For monitor file, you just have to create a file under the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 (beta/GA)\Config\MonitorSetup\

 

 

And you'll see it in the drop down box within the game. Controller setup changes are saved in ...user\SAVED GAMES directories under each aircraft.

Thank you!!
