Can you export each MFCD more than once?

[jonsky7]

Hi

 

Was wondering if it was possible to export each MFCD twice.

 

So I currently run a dual monitor setup with the main display doing the in cockpit view, naturally, and the second monitor I use to display large versions of the MFCDs.

 

I am considering TM Cougar MFDs and maybe putting some displays behind them ( 1024x768 ).

 

So the question is would I be able to keep the large MFCDs on the second monitor as well as run smaller versions on displays behind the cougars.

 

Anybody know if something like the below work?

 

Thanks

 

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 2560;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 2560/1440;

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 2560;

y = 5;

width = 960;

height = 960;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 3520;

y = 5;

width = 960;

height = 960;

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 4480;

y = 5;

width = 768;

height = 768;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 5504;

y = 5;

width = 768;

height = 768;

}

Yes. Your current setup is already doing this since the main view is the first export and then your second monitor is exporting them a second time. Your proposal would actually be a third export.

[jonsky7]

So three exports is also possible?

[cichlidfan]

Yes. The program does not care how many times you wish to display the same data.

Thanks :thumbup:

cichlidfan is incorrect. You cannot export the MFCD's (or any other screen) more than once. If you have two definitions of LEFT_MFCD, the last one will replace any before it because it's a variable/key name.

 

As far as I know, there is no way to export each screen more than once through the MonitorSetup lua scripts. You may be able to do something with the MFCD_init.lua script where it's getting the viewport to display the MFCD's in. The file is located here for the A-10C:

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\MFCD\indicator\MFCD_init.lua

 

But how to do this and whether it will pass IC is something you'll have to discover yourself.

Is there not an "and" function in LUA?

 

 

No idea btw.
