Permanently repositioning the FLOLS overlay?

Heyhey folks!

 

Is there any way to permanently repositioning the flols overlay?

 

I know it can be dragged around, but the position always resets when you start a new mission/restart mission.

 

Permanent reposition would be great as I usually don't have time to move it around during landing.

Could the position have something to do with this part of the "FLOLS.lua" ?

 

There has to be some code, somewhere, which gives the overlay its position.

Please forgive me!

After some testing I found me suspicion to be correct.

 

"local x" and "local y" are the coordinates for the overlay.

 

Marked with red circle in the image.

 

The coordinates are from right to left, and bottom to top.

"1" is minimum value (screen edge), "2" is center of screen ... I didn't test max value.

 

FLOLS.lua location: DCS World\Mods\tech\Supercarrier\PLATCameraUI

 

I used Notepad++ to edit FLOLS.lua.

 

I hope this helps someone 🙂

Much love, stay safe!

Glad I could help out 🙂

 

Just to clarify:

 

The Overlay will not be permanently stuck/locked to the new position, it can still be dragged around. 

It just has a new starting/default position.

This is great information. Has anyone tried making it smaller?

I haven't checked if that is possible. 

Have you found a way of doing it?
