Hello! i'm asking if it's possible to move all the text from the main screen to another.

I have nvidia surround (single monitor in options). Need to move radio from right to center monitor to read!

You can move it by editing a .lua file.. I have a single 49” ultra wide screen and have mine moved over so its within my view mid-screen. I made a post about it several months ago and someone responded with correct way to modify it….

 

Well I’m too dumb to figure out how to link it but I made the post Feb 24th of this year under View System Bugs forum section: titled “Comms Menu, move location on screen…semi solved”. ( still on the first page near the bottom) Halfway down the thread , member “ draconus” had the correct format for the .lua.  Must be exactly like his format, with the number 500 repesenting how many pixels you want to offset it. You can see the file that needs edited in the screenshot I posted in the beginning.

 

as for the OP, there may not be an easy way to move all of those to a different screen all together, if even possible.. I think dcs expects them to be part of the main “ center” screen. Although it may work the way I did the comms menu, but you would need to find the correct .lua file(s) and try it out.

I will add to this, that it wont break multiplayer IC, but it will get erased with updates so its best to use it with ovgme.. good thing with notepad++ is it will keep all the files you modified open, so if you don’t use ovgme, and it gets reset, its pretty quick to hop back in and redo the adjustments. I did that for a good 2 years before I messed with ovgme and figured out how to use it.
