The original code didn't scale the offset. This will cause the AI interface to not be displayed correctly in the bottom left/right corner of GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT in some view ports layouts.

For example:

The screen resolution:  2560*2520

Monitor setup is as follows:

_  = function(p) return p end
name = _('Helios')
description = 'Generated from compatible Helios Profiles'
A_10C_2_CDU_SCREEN = { x = 1222.5, y = 2082.5, width = 221.25, height = 162.5 }

The soluation is:

Modify file : DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\AI\PrestonAI_page_common.lua

--viewports stuff	
	local v = find_viewport("GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT", "CENTER")
	if v ~= nil then
		if v.width ~= total_w or v.height ~= total_h then
			ULX = v.x
			ULY = v.y
			SZX = v.width
			SZY = v.height
			local aspect = SZX/SZY
			-- Thanks Asto (https://forum.dcs.world/profile/127293-asto/)
			local control_pos_offset = {(ULX + SZX / 2 - total_w / 2) / total_w * total_aspect * 2, -(ULY + SZY / 2 - total_h / 2) / total_h * 2}
			weap_control_pos = {0.8 * aspect * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[1], -0.75 * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[2]}
			compass_pos = {-0.82 * aspect * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[1], -0.7 * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[2]}
			-- Kudos to you (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/295236-george-interface-with-3-monitors/?do=findComment&comment=4922420)
			weap_control_size = weap_control_size * v.height / total_h
			compass_size = compass_size * v.height / total_h
		end
	end
	--end viewports stuff

The key is:

weap_control_pos = {0.8 * aspect * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[1], -0.75 * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[2]}

 compass_pos = {-0.82 * aspect * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[1], -0.7 * (SZY / total_h) + control_pos_offset[2]}

Thanks! This did the trick right away.
