Multimonitor ABRIS

[ajax]

For the Ka-50 in the HUD-only view I used to see the ABRIS inset into the lower right of the Shkval on my second monitor. Since DCS 2.5.6 the ABRIS no longer shows up. Any clues?

 

 

This is my monitor setup file:

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('my_monitorsetup');
Description = 'Shkval on the left monitor, camera on the right';
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1680;
         height = 1050;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 16/10;
    }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
    x = 1680;
    y = 0;
    width = 1680;
    height = 1050;
    viewDx = 0;
    viewDy = 0;
    --aspect = 16/10;
}

Gui =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1680;
height = 1050;
}

UIMainView = Gui 


--ABRIS =
--{
--     x = 2688;
--     y = 147;
--    width = 568;
--    height = 756;
--}
--UIMainView = Viewports.Center

I tried uncommenting the ABRIS section but that had no effect.

I recently started tinkering with Multi-Monitor setups and noticed that the usual ABRIS/Shkval stuff just isn't working anymore. They are working for Left_MFCD and Right_MFCD though. I suspect they're just not exporting under those identifiers anymore.

 

I suppose you can dig out the lua's for those devices and change the export name. But it looks like the better way of doing it adding an if/else block to set MFD dimensions by airframe type. Someone has done this for DCS on these forums with some example code, however I'm struggling to find it again.

Maybe this is what you are looking for?

It's actually in IF/ELSE statement in the monitor profile LUA file.

 

I've found it at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1411604/

 

 

 

In Home Fries monitor export examples it checks which aircraft you're in. It adjusts the layout of the LEFT_MFD and RIGHT_MFD's so they don't end up squashed into a square setup common with all the other aircrafts MFD layouts.
