I don't know how the 1x1 version would work, because you can only export each display once. The displays working in external view differs between aircraft and sometimes patches. You could probably raise the TGP video pausing in external view on the exported display as a bug/issue. I’m have an issues with MFDs and the A-10C. Using TM Cougar MFDs attached to MFD display screens. I have the displays occupying correctly the viewable screen. Here’s the issue…the menu items along the left and right OSB buttons are sitting about 1/2- 1 cm above the OSB buttons. Is this likely just a limitation of using the Cougar MFDs and their buttons not aligning with what is on the screen?

Mine is the same way, the a-10 displays seem larger than the f-16 and 18, I had to just scale down the mfd size until the a-10 fit as good as it could without making the others too small. The buttons don’t line up still, but you get used to it after a bit.

Darkdiz Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I found that you have to tweak the lua file until you hit the sweet spot. I'll attach my file, feel free to edit as necessary. I have my main screen as 1920x1080, with 2 x 800x600 below lined up with the left and right corners. The F-14 screens had to be significantly tweaked, mostly by trial and error. 1_Screen+2xMFCDs_below.lua Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can detect AMD Ryzen 9 3900x CPU@4.5Ghz, ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Motherboard, 64GB Corsair Venegence DDR 3200 RAM, MSI Rtx 3060 12GB Primary GPU, ASUS GTX 1650 4GB Secondary GPU, 40" 1920x1080 Samsung Monitor, 32" 1360x768 Sony Monitor, 32" Dynex 1360x768 Monitor, 1TB Seagate Firecuda M2 PCIe 4 OS SSD, 2TB Western Digital Blue M2 PCIe 3 storage SSD, 8TB Samsung 870QVO storage SSD, Western Digital Blue 1TB storage SATA, 2x Thrustmaster T16000 (LH and RH), Warthog Joy/Throttle/TPRS, 6 x Cougar MFDs (4 with Generic VGA 800x600 displays), Track IR 5 with IR Trackstar V3, Logitech G910 Tactile Keyboard, Logitech G604 Lightspeed Mouse, Logitech F310 Gamepad, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Soul: None (sold long ago to the MGOMU, also known as Princess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16th Widowmakr Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I have two monitors and tried setting up the LUA file but when I run DCS the cockpit is stretched across both monitors. I only wan the cockpit on the main monitor and the MFD's on the second. My main display is 1920X1080 and second monitor is below and 1280X1024.

I only wan the cockpit on the main monitor and the MFD's on the second. My main display is 1920X1080 and second monitor is below and 1280X1024. In step 2 of the guide you calculate your full rendered area. There are many examples for how to do this. You have 1920 wide, since the 1280 is below, 1920 is the size needed. For vertical you are 1080+1024 = 2104 So the resolution you enter inside the DCS graphics option page will be 1920*2104 Step 3 of the guide covers the monitor config file. You have to define center and it's size Your file start with: { Center = { X = 0; Y = 0; width = 1920; Height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1920/1080; } } at the bottom of your file make sure you ha UIMainView = Viewports.Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoboxer Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just wanted to thank Jonsky7 for the configuration guide. I first read through the entire guide to see if this was a tweak I could actually do without risk. After that, the guide was so effective that it took me all of 15 minutes to get the two MFDs appearing on my second (right-side) monitor. While I'm certain reading all the instructions first before doing anything helped, that's a tribute to a very well written and complete document. Thanks again! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a third party program like Helios, or the older and now not supported, iKarus. Edited October 3, 2022 by jonsky7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
