Any way to remove the MFDs from the ALT F1 HUD-only view?

[Svenson]

Sure go to the Monitor setup folder of DCS... Create a new .lua file with the following in it. Name it 1Camera_No_MFCD.lua

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('NO MFCDs in HUD-only');
Description = 'One monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 0;
          y = 0;
          width = screen.width;
          height = screen.height;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = screen.aspect;
     }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
     x = 2;
     y = 2;
     width = 1;
     height = 1;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
     x = 1;
     y = 1;
     width = 1;
     height = 1;

 

 

 

Just save it and in the next time in the menu of DCS in video settings select this new profile.

Cheers

I bought the Thrustmaster MFD set and a couple of Cubesim screens and now not only do I have a clear hud only look but have quality MFD's still available.

By the way, flying hud only in the new South Atlantic map is a trip.

Interesting Idea..have to try that.

But how do you interact with the switches and knobs. F1 to hotas?

Yes, I also would like to know because I went Cubesim also and am in the middle of a pit build. Can't wait to be up and running again!

I'm not sure I understand your question. All the hotas and keyboard functions remain, you just lose the view of the rest of the cockpit. I cycle between the two views constantly.

I hope this answers your question, if not I apologize.

Mr. Svenson,

Fantastic, thank you very much. 

FYI, I'm not a computer guru and followed your instructions to the T but it would not show up in the In-Game monitor settings until I added a closed bracket at the very end of the command line like this.

After I added that closed bracket, it showed up in the monitor settings and like a dream come true, it works.

Thank you again.

 

Original:

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
     x = 1;
     y = 1;
     width = 1;
     height = 1;

 

Fixed:

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
     x = 1;
     y = 1;
     width = 1;
     height = 1;

}
