LeCuvier Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 In my set-up, the AMPCD is nearly useless as it is rather small and I cannot read anything on it. I would like to display it, a bit larger than in the cockpit, on my second monitor. Questions: 1. Can it be exported like an MFCD? 2. If yes, what name is to be used in the .lua file for monitor set-up? 3. where can I find a tutorial for multi-monitor set-up?

LeCuvier Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks xavnl, I created this file, but all I get is a totally black secondary monitor (at the right of the main monitor): _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('Camera + FA-18 AMPCD'); Description = 'FA-18 AMPCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 2560 / 1440; } } F18_AMPCD = { x = 2561; y = 538; width = 512; height = 512; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.CenterI was wondering if the spelling "F18_AMPCD" correct and tried some variations, but all that got me was an extremely wide main view. Where do you find these names? My main monitor is 2560 x 1440 and my secondary monitor is 1680 x 1050 LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deezle Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It should be called CENTER_MFCD by default IIRC.

LeCuvier Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks Deezle, this works! My question remains though: where do you find these names?

mastersetter Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Deezle, thanks for that tip, I had tried a few other scripts for the export and nothing worked, but changing the name did the trick, excellent! i5-7600K @ 4.8 | 32GB | 1080 | Rift S | TM MFD & WH HOTAS-10mm ext + TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deezle Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks Deezle, this works! My question remains though: where do you find these names? Generally you go to the aircraft folder, in this case FA-18C/cockpit/scripts/Multipurpose_Display_Group/AMPCD/indicator/AMPCD_init.lua. It should have this line try_find_assigned_viewport("CENTER_MFCD") This can be added to other _init.lua files for cockpit things such as the IFEI (with a unique name, of course).

mastersetter Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So i can use the same script and edit for different cockpit displays? What else can i export from the hornet cockpit?

Apparently this doesn't work will all aircraft. I tried with the Bf-109's REVI (gun sight) and nothing showed. Maybe the export needs to be enabled somewhere?

Deezle Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So i can use the same script and edit for different cockpit displays? What else can i export from the hornet cockpit? The two that I can think of off the top of my head will be IFEI and RWR, probably the HUD as well for a niche simpit application. For example with other aircraft I have exported the armament display for the Mirage, as well as the INS display. Exported the computer and waypoint number displays in the Viggen (I forget the names for them), the NADIR display in the Gazelle, ect. Generally if it's some type of screen, you can export it. 1 Intel 9600K@4.9GHz, Asus Z390, 32GB DDR4, EVGA RTX 3070, Custom Water Cooling, 970 EVO 1TB NVMe 34" UltraWide 3440x1440 Curved Monitor, 21" Touch Screen MFD monitor, TIR5 My Pit Build, VKB Gunfighter Pro w/WH Grip, TMWH Throttle, MFG Crosswinds W/Combat Pedals, Cougar MFDs, Custom A-10C panels, Custom Helo Collective, SimShaker with Transducer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger357 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm having an issue where I create the .Lua I want but it doesn't show up in the option menu... I even tried editing the name of an existing one and it was the same affect. Is there a directory I need to add the monitor option to other than saved games/dcs/config/monitorsetup.??
