Change what MFD is exported top second monitor?

[TonyStovepipe]

HI all I just got the f18 and I was surprised  the two top mfds was already in the correct positions? I think it used the config from a10c?

 

With the botton MFD that in colour can I swap it for instead the left or right MFD to exported instead?

Thanks for any help

Add this to your monitor config file under Left_MFCD and Right_MFCD but before UIMainview , but you will need to change the x and y values, and the width and height values.

 

Delete either left or right depending on which one you want to swap it for, or move the position out of the display space

 

You'll also need to change your cougar buttons in the bindings obviuosly

F18_LEFT_MFCD =
{
x = 4490;
y = 360;
width = 825;
height = 825;
}

F18_RIGHT_MFCD =
{
x = 5570;
y = 360;
width = 825;
height = 825;
}

F18_CENTER_MFCD =
{
x = 2560;
y = 370;
width = 1080;
height = 1080;
}

Then you need to edit the following files, or you can use the ones I have attached. These will be reset on every DCS update. Best to use a mod manager like ovgme

 

DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/Multipurpose_Display_Group/AMPCD/indicator/AMPCD_viewport_cfg



change
try_find_assigned_viewport("CENTER_MFCD")

to
try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_CENTER_MFCD")

 

DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/Multipurpose_Display_Group/MDI_IP1556A/indicator/MDI_left_viewport_cfg



change

try_find_assigned_viewport("LEFT_MFCD")

to

try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_LEFT_MFCD")

 

DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/Multipurpose_Display_Group/MDI_IP1556A/indicator/MDI_left_viewport_cfg

change

try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")

to

try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_RIGHT_MFCD")

 

 

There are other ways to do it, but this will preserve your MFCD positions that rely on Left_MFCD and Right_MFCD
