When I first got the JF-17, I was able to export Left and Right MFD's to seperate monitors using a tried and true Edit on the stock ED monitor setup. After the last couple updates, I can no longer get the MFD's to export.

Plus “JF17_” in front of viewport definitions of your config files, like "JF17_LEFT_MFCD".

Thank you for the very quick response. I will try that, and post the results.

Again, thank you

Plus “JF17_” in front of viewport definitions of your config files, like "JF17_LEFT_MFCD".

 

So, I have tried a couple different approaches in a custom monitor .lua file, and I am posting the code for someone to hopefully figure out what I am doing wrong or if the jf-17 module is broken:

Filename=jf17 Custom

Monitor Config: left monitor is 1920x1080, center monitor is 3440x1440, right monitor is 1920x1080.

Total resolution in Options.lua is 7280x1440

 

Code is:

 

= function(p) return p; end;

name = _('jf17 Custom.bkup');

Description = 'Configuration with 1 3440x1440 center, and 2 1920x1080 one on each side of main monitor.'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 1920;

y = 0;

width = 3440;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 2.38888;

},

--LEFT_MFCD=

JF17_LEFT_MFCD= (I have tried both ways left mfd description)

{

x = 1920-800;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 800;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1;

},

--RIGHT_MFCD =

JF17_RIGHT_MFCD = (I have tried both ways right mfd description)

{

x = 5360;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 800;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1;

}

}

 

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

 

Thank you for anyone that can help

JF17_CENTER_MFCD =
{
    x = 1145;
    y = 10;
    width = 765;
    height = 1020;
}

JF17_RIGHT_MFCD =
{
    x = 370;
    y = 10;
    width = 765;
    height = 1020;
}

 

I use viewport config like this.

Thanks for your help, but my code appears to be the same. Been using this code for years now on a10c, f18, f16 and it did work on jf17 until a couple weeks ago?

Ok, after starting from scratch and using the info learned, I have a working LUA file. Code below:

 

= function(p) return p; end;

name = _('JF-17 Custom');

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

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 1920;

y = 0;

width = 3440;

height = 1440;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 2.388888;

}

}

 

JF17_LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1920-800;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 1000;

}

 

JF17_RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 5360;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 1000;

}

 

JF17_CENTER_MFCD =

{

x = 7280-800;

y = 0;

width = 800;

height = 1000;

}

 

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

 

Thanks for your help
