cavcpt Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Looking for an assist. I have a painfully constructed monitor .lua that successfully exports my MFD data to my two Lilliput USB monitors. However....instead of the MFD background being black, the background is the same image from the center view or primary screen. I can't seem to find the solution to this problem despite two hours of troubleshooting. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Stephen
SVgamer72 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Are the last two lines of you file like below? UIMainView = Viewports.Center GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cavcpt Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 Update LUA is attached and pics attached. This works perfectly with only the A-10C. Exported MFD data against a black background, or FLIR, Map, etc. But with every other compatible module, the same .lua exports the MFD data just as flawlessly...EXCEPT its also exporting the image from the center (primary monitor). So in short, my HSI or EWR data on my USB monitor is superimposed over whatever I'm seeing on the main monitor. What am I missing? StephenMFDS.lua
SVgamer72 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Remove or comment out these 2 lines at the bottom and see if it works better LEFT_MFCD = Viewports.LEFT_MFCD RIGHT_MFCD = Viewports.RIGHT_MFCD It should look like this... _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('2020_1440P_+MFDs'); Description = 'MFCD on second screen' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.7; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2560; y = 334; width = 690; height = 690; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 3406; y = 334; width = 690; height = 690; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

Stephen May I ask you how you set up DCS to work with USB monitors please ? I'm considering the Lilliput 8" behind the TM MFD's but don't know if it will be easy to get to work with USB monitors. Many thanks in advance. Best Per Edited April 28, 2020 by Gosche

So if Windows sees it as a monitor under display settings, it doesn't matter if it is USB, HDMI, VGA, DVI, DP, etc.

And to get the "MFD video" onto them, wil it be just to follow the above .lua config for these (https://lilliputdirect.com/lilliput-usb-monitors/8-inch-usb-monitors/lilliput-um80) Best Per
