reported earlier AI Helper menu not in correct place on multi-monitor setup

[jonsky7]

Hi,

 

The AI crosshairs and compass etc were initially not in the correct place on multi-monitor setups, this was then corrected, but as of the latest release with the new countermeasures display, I'm finding that the compass, countermeasure display, and the target selection box are cut-off on the left side of the display. screenshots below

 

thanks

and the sight camera in the front seat is now on my second monitor??

 

edit: That's because it's assigned to the right_mfcd.... weird

Here's a mod to return the sight to the centre viewport

To alter the position of the compass, target selection box, and countermeasure selection window, you can alter the values of line 22 in the file

DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Cockpit\Scripts\HelperAI\HelperAI_page_common.lua

 

    compass_pos = {-0.75 * total_aspect, -0.5} --relative to screen center, 1 equals screen height afaik

 

To move the compass position left, change  -0.75 to a more negative value, and to move it right, change to a more positive value, mine is now -0.6 which brings it back fully onto the screen on the left hand side.

Thank you for this tip, but I need help what value should I put to get:

           - the compass, target list and countermeasures panel at the bottom left of my main screen,

           - the pilot's crosshair in the center of my main screen?

Can you give me some example values?

Thank you in advance.

Finally, I managed to find the right values, thank you.

Glad you got it sorted, are you using open.beta? The crosshair position was fixed in the update before last. Only the last update made the compass position, target list, and countermeasure box move too far left for me.

The compass, target list, and countermeasure display are all tied into the compass position value, adjusting the compass position value should move the other two as well, I didn't try moving them individually.

Yes I am on the Open beta, I do not know why the crosshair was not centered, after my modifications, everything is in order, crosshair, compass, target list and countermeasures in the right place.
