Help, F-18 export MFCD to other monitors but wrong ratio ?

[Majesco]

Hi all

Yesterday night, i tried to export 2 F-18 MFDs to other 2 small monitors with 4:3 ratio

My main screen resolution is 2560x1440 and other 2 small monitors res all are 8 inch/4:3/1024x768. I've exported MFD at center and set them from the bottom of the display. All were exported exactly as i wish. But the main screen ratio was wrong, picture shrinked in horizontal so i need some help. 

Monitors in order: Main screen + Left MFCD on the right + Right MFCD on the right of the left MCD

My configuration . lua file: re-edit LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD

Left MFCD/ RMFCD: width/ height: 686/ 686 (display area)

Main screen:

X = 0

Y= 1440 (start export to monitors from the bottom of the main screen) 

Width/ height: 2560/ 1440

Aspect ratio: 1.777777778 (2560/ 1440) or 3/2 ( 4608/ 1440) 

 

Total res in horizontal: 2560+1024+1024 = 4608/ height: 1440

Where am i wrong and which ratio value need to be corrected ? Thanks

Not good at English too!

Try Helios.

 1.777777778   in the game options, that should actually work.

What does that have to do with Helios? He should encounter the same problem there.

Thank you Hobel, i delete all the last line "GU_Mainview=Viewport.center"

Set resolution = 4608x1440,  ratio: 1.7777777778, that works great, main screen return to normal

Because I'm lazy, and I guess I didn't read the post well enough.

Hey, fellas. Just out of curiosity: When exporting any DCS display like this, with Helios or otherwise, can you still play in the alt+enter full screen mode in order to benefit from that nice little FPS boost?

Thanks in advance!

for the sake of completeness, show your lua to prevent future problems

 

or as an example

2_monitors_A10C MFDRL.lua

You have to set exported screens size correctly.

I have it like that

@Foka: yes,  of coure i set screens size in horizontal and vertical correctly, picture displayed at the center and from bottom of the screens. 

Now i add more code for exporting 4 of 5 F-14 displays to my 2 screens, first is the pilot VDI and the second includes 3 others: RIO DDD, ECMD and RIO TID display. Those work well

Interesting.

Only the radar screen is not so big for nothing, you limit your view so?

As an example with me in the f16 I have the mfds 1000x1000 to simply see more.

But everyone as he wants

That's the Chinese industrial touch/ non-touch monitor from Shenzen Zhixianda Technology 

You can easily find them on Aliexpress Shopping Center, i've got 2 non-touch screens with the cost of $60 per each.

And I used these, working good, just they don't have andy casings, just naked screens, but it's easier to use them in home built cockpit.
