Viewport Export issue

[FlyinBeagle]

So I have tried to export my Left/Right DDI's for the hornet onto a 4th monitor. I have the monitors in a triplehead config then the 4th below the center to make a "T" shape. My cougar MFD's are attached to the monitor, and I have set up the DDI output to be in the appropriate positions. I do get the data output as expected, but what I didn't expect is for the cockpit camera to also be rendered behind the DDI data instead of a solid black background. Below is a screenshot example of what is happening. I started with one of the canned .lua files (Camera and Right MFCD I think) and built onto to it to add the positioning and GUI position and aspect.

 

I'd appreciate anyone's input as to what might be going on. The canned monitor setup files work, but when I modify them and use my version with both the A-10 and the Hornet, I get the full camera render in the viewport. Strange.

Below is my monitor setup file:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('L+R MFCD');

Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 5760;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 5760 / 1080;

},

 

GUI=

{

x = 1920;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

},

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 5760;

y = 0;

width = 411;

height = 411;

},

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 7269;

y = 0;

width = 411;

height = 411;

},

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

LEFT_MFCD = Viewports.LEFT_MFCD

RIGHT_MFCD = Viewports.RIGHT_MFCD

Add lua example

use VIRTUAL Cockpit Server to configure and set up your DDI's on the second monitor.

 

you can do it through the Graphic Interface and it will create the file for you.

 

then you just have to select that created config in your Graphic setup up menu.

 

works like a charm for the Hornet for me.

for info, this is my file :

 

--Virtual cockpit server for DCS

--<DCS root directory>\Config\MonitorSetup

--Monitor setup file
