4-monitor problem (invert-T)

[TGW]

I am a "total noob" in this area of expertise, your help is greatly appreciated!

 

I have 4 monitor (1 top-3 bottom) setup running in '1-screen' mode (which runs fine) and need help with the following:

 

 

1.) Is there a way to confine both UI splash and GUI screens to the center bottom monitor?

 

2.) Radio-menu (rt side) and Dialog response (lt side) is completely out of view (in 1-screen config), is there a way to assign those text areas to the l-r edges of the top monitor?

 

 

Thank-you in advance for your help!

WoW! Such emptiness . . .

So I think I can help, I have a similar set up as yours. I have been scouring the forums and /r/hoggit to find answers.

 

I have a triple monitor set up on top 3x27" 7620x1440p

Underneath the middle monitor I have a 29" Ultrawide. 2560x1080

 

I set the top three as one viewport, and use the lower monitor as an area to export my MFDs and ESHI. I have the GUI constrained to the top 3 monitors, but I think you could configure it to set it constrained to the bottom one. Look at this section in my .lua file :

 

Gui =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 7680;

height = 1440;

}

 

UIMainView = Gui

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

 

Just add this to the views.lua and constrain it to the location of the bottom monitor. Also ensure that the game Resolution encompasses the combined resolution of all monitors. I hope I am making sense.

Yes, FINALLY thank you! I will implement this today and post results!! Thank you for your input!

 

I believe, I am close, (GUI & splash screens are placed correctly) but still have one issue when

simulator switches to full (1-)screen mode . . . . sigh . . . .

Okay this is what I have come up with and any help is greatly appreciated . . .

 

Currently I am only running as a 1-camera setup right now and not sure why it doesn't work correctly. I also posted images for you to see what is happening. I have numbered the monitors as Windows sees them, when black, there is no signal and center is displayed only (correctly). Thanks in advance for your help!
