George interface position as gunner

[X_legio]

Hi there, I use the Apache only with VR, when I switch to gunner position and activate George, the menu compare right in front of the TEDAC, very annoying. Any way to move somewhere maybe on the top as the gunner menu when I am piloting ?

ED should add position menu for all these overlay things (AI menu, controls indicators, cargo indicators) etc. etc. or add movable ability via mouse just like kneeboard.

I'm pretty sure ou can move it by editing the related .lua . I'll have a look when at my PC

So, Yeah. you can change them positions by editing the PrestonAI_page_common.lua file in \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\AI

just go to line 8 and you will find

--for VR only!
local compass_pos         = {0,    -0.40}
local weap_control_pos     = {0,    0.32} --seems okay, may be a subject to change

change the values in red and you will move George's compass and weapons' wheel around (I believe they are X and Y expressed in ratio to 1 ref. the screen size, IDK just experiment, I guess?

Hey, thanks for this @SPAS79.  I will give this a try when flying up front.  Its a shame this isn't configurable without a LUA edit, but appreciate you posting this.  When the Apache first came out, I asked if the positioning of the George AI (in VR) was intentional and the response from ED was Yes.  While irritated because the positioning seemed to be very obtrusive, I at least appreciated an answer.

Szóval igen. megváltoztathatja a pozíciójukat a  PrestonAI_page_common.lua fájl szerkesztésével a \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\AI mappában 

, csak lépjen a 8. sorra, és megtalálja

-- Csak VR-hez!
local compass_pos = { 0, -0,40 }
local weap_control_pos = { 0, 0,32 } -- rendben van, változhat

Változtasd meg az értékeket pirossal , és körbe fogod mozgatni George iránytűjét és a fegyverek kerekét (azt hiszem, X és Y a képernyő méretéhez viszonyítva kifejezve, az IDK csak kísérletez, gondolom? 

local compass_pos         = {0,    -0.10}
local weap_control_pos     = {0,    0.12} --seems okay, may be a subject to change

This is how it worked for me (Pimax Light, but these were also in the wrong place with HP Reverb G2)
ED could really do something with this, because it's quite annoying that we, the users, have to tinker with lua files.
