how to move DCS GUI windows to another pos. or another monitor. Got a problem here.

[Kukki]

Hello Gents, somenone clever man help me with a problem. I have a 270 degree projector setup (3 x projectors), my full F-16 cockpit puts its nose through the projector screen, so the pilot can sit in the center of the cylinder screen. and I have a software MASK OUT on the projected screen so the projector dont show anything on my physically UFC/HUD/glareshields etc. BUT then I have that problem that when I shall do anything in DCS then all the windows for setup, missions etc. show up in the center of the big screen and I cant see most of it and cant configure anuthing there, so my question goes like this: Is it possible to move all the windows DCS show in the center of the main screen or is it possible to move all that to another screen were I can setup all and then when I fly the sim it starts on the big main screen. I use Fly-Elise immersive display pro to display dcs on the big screen and it looks super. Only problem is all the windows in DCS is fixed to the center. So I hope to have the DCS GUI on one 24" screen and then the big 270 degree screen to fly on, that way I can set all up on the 24" screen and fly the sim on the big screen Hope someone can help me here.

You can see on the picture that the nose sticks through the screen, and all the psycally cockpit there is masked out in the software so I cant see any GUI windows in the center there DCS puts up

I have not experimented much with this but, in your monitor config file you could try changing the position of the UI main view.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('CUBESIM');
Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 2400;
          y = 0;
          width = 1920;
          height = 1080;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = 1920 / 1080;
     }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
     x = 80;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 600;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
     x = 880;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 600;
}

CENTER_MFCD =
{
     x = 1680;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 600;
}

F14_HSD =
{
     x = 80;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 600;
}

F14_VDI =
{
     x = 1680;
     y = 0;
     width = 600;
     height = 600;
}


UIMainView = Viewports.Center
GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

So the bottom lines

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

 

Are basically saying make the User interface, the same postion as the center view, I believe it it possible to change that to

UIMainView =

{

x = 1680;

y = 0;

width = 600;

height = 600;

}

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT =

{ 

 

x = 1680; 

 

y = 0; 

 

width = 600; 

 

height = 600; 

 

}

 

And put any values you like in there, as you would have done for the MFDs. 

I believe UIMainView is the main menu, and map. GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT changed the position of the sights in combined arms hope, you will need to do a bit of testing. hope this helps, please do report back.
