george interface with 3 monitors

[Floyd1212]

I'm sure there is a .lua file you can edit to change the setting back to single-monitor.  I'm not sure where that is, though.

You might try posting this in a more general forum as it isn't specific to the Apache module only.  You might get more eyes on it in https://forum.dcs.world/forum/999-multi-display-support/ for example.

I downloaded DCS, opened it up, clicked "3 monitors" and hit ok.  (figured I'd adjust the resolution later)  Well, the result is that now on start up I get the advertisement screen where you buy more planes, carriers, etc... but now I have the left and right one third of that screen blacked over and I cannot click past that screen to get into the program itself.  I have tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, but the old setting remains so I end up with the same result.  I have tried using ESC and every other keystroke on the keyboard: nothing.  I basically can't play DCS until I install it on a new computer, unless someone here as a work around

Go to your windows profile folder called "Saved Games", then DCS subfolder, then to config folder. 

Open options.lua and you can see "multiMonitorSetup" will point to the file you selected. 

Back up options.lua the rename it. Open DCS and it will create a new options.lua with default settings. You can copy the multiMonitorSetup from the default into your backup if you would like to restore the other settings.

AH-64D Apache Fix for the Apache George Interface on the screen center.  It is more efficient when you use the touch screen. (JSGME Friendly) vs 1.0. It affects some users using multiple monitors.

[flanker0ne]

Solved by just adding:

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

To the MonitorSetup file

[MatveyTsivinyuk]

Gentlemen, sorry for that taking too long. The final fix should be in the next update. Properly developed and being currently thoroughly tested.

[ry-ballz]

Any updates on this?

[Laud]

I can update that it still doesn't work OOB...

[AstroEma]

Hello all. Apparently this is not working with the latest Open Beta. Could I  please ask someone to fix it?

I can confirm George menu is still not visible as of 21th september 2024.

*Using 1 touch screen (1366x768) below the main one (2560x1440) for a total of 2560x2208 real state.

Edited September 25, 2024 by Sinclair

Solved.

If you make a couple of changes to the code that comes as a default right now you can reposition the layouts. The second number inside the brackets modifies the height at wich they are drawn, so if you change them from -0.7 and -0.75 to both 0.0 you center the menus along the Y axis, making them finally visible in the top monitor.

As a side note regarding the above...

The problem with this is that when you try to join some servers like ShadowReapers it kicks you out stating that your client is tainted so an official fix is still needed.
