Can I change the position of the control indicator window?

When flying the Apache in VR the control indicator window is in upper left part of the screen. I have to tilt my head up every time to see it. Is it’s position in a config (Lua) file?

thanks

Thanks BigNewy,! I thought I saw it in one of the many Apache videos lower on the left view.

Yes.  I would like you to please do a mod putting the indicator in the center top.  I don't know how much of a priority this is for DCS to do. 

Thanks.

Hi,
I've tried for an hour but can't figure out how to put it right in the center. This code is very fiddled, and there's a lot of reverse engineering to see what each number does. Sorry :< Top-left (original) or bottom-left (my mod) are your options, untill someone with talent and time helps with that request.

Don't count on ED to make it, its on the bottom of their 'to do' list. I think they've never given us any location option for this, I can only recall Gazelle (it was an inspiration for my mods for other modules), but it's not ED.

Thanks for your effort.  I was just about to try it myself.  Now I will have to wait.

Hi,
If you want it for yourself, then you should try it! It should be easy if it's just for your screen (you can use numbers to fit it, but when I wanted to make a solution that works both for me and you, I had to use math and logics).

Go ahead and edit ControlsIndicator_page.lua,
around line 150, in local function draw_base(): base.init_pos = { X , Y }
Where X is for position in the horizontal axis, and Y is vertical.
For Y, to be on top, use default '1 - size_h_05 - margin'.
For X, start with number 0.5 and add or substract (e.g. 0.45, 0.55, 0.62 etc.) to move it left or right. I think you have to turn the game off everytime you want to make changes.

So, start with {0.5 , 1 - size_h_05 - margin} and find your spot.
Though remember that depending on the resolution, the position might be different with this method.

If you like my transparent controlsindicators, go ahead to work on that file.

Thanks for the tips, but I could not do it for a 1920x1080 main screen.  I had looked at the same type of mod for the Blackhawk H60 mod that worked for the H60 and placed the cross in the upper middle.  However, nothing worked for the Apache. 

Thanks for trying.

I used {-1.80,0.77} for my 1920 monitor and this puts the Controls Indicator in the center top of my screen.  When I tried to combine this with the transparency mod, the game crashed.  Your mod worked fine but put the Control Indicator in the lower left.  In summary, I can put the CI in the center top but not using your mod.  I don't know what the issue is.

Hi, two news - 1. I have updated my mods to current version, with additinonal SCAS windows and markers!
2. I have checked my mod with your position coordinates - and it worked for me. It was off the center by far, but it worked and no crash. Maybe you forgot a logic marker (e.g. "}", or missed "," somewhere)?

If you like my mods, then go ahead to download new version with SCAS and try to perform your location mod again 🙂 I hope it works this time!

Where is your mod? I went to your old site and got the 404 error.

 

BTW        base.init_pos           = {-0.10,0.77}    puts it dead center top with the new control indicator.

I have just tried it, and no crash, though not perfectly in the center for me 🙂

base.init_pos           = {-2.00,0.77}   put it slightly to the left of center for my 1980 monitor and your mod works fine. 

Thanks for the help.

Hi, on 2D screen you can grab it with your mouse and resize and move around (at least last time I checked).
I never adjusted this with mods (so answer: don't know).
I don't have VR.

Hi mate, I have made a mod with its position on the bottom left. It's waiting for approval since yesterday. Though have in mind, I do transparent controlsindicators. PM me if you want something specific, or wait for approval of my transparent bottom-left mod 🙂

Could create precise trimming Controls Indicator for F-15E?  Thanks  TC
