F10 map objects unclickable

[deltaleader]

I cannot figure out why this has been happening for some time now. Doesn't matter if in SP or MP mode or in any mission I load.

Used to be able to click objects in the map view during a mission. It would provide details about the A/C, Unit or Airport. But I no longer get these boxes. I can move around the map, click the menu buttons, etc. But not able to click on objects and get the typical information box I used to. It was especially helpful to get airport information or carrier heading.

I have no clue what has changed or if there is a setting preventing objects to be viewed. When I check with others online in the same servers, they do not experience this problem so its something on my end, not sure why. I am fully updated on beta. Suggestions??

DCS options > gameplay > F10 view options?

Its on. Nothing seems to work. Even repairing the install does nothing.

After repairing do a DCS cleanup.

Try also clean profile - temporarily rename your saved games DCS.openbeta folder.

I think I resolved the problem. Hard to explain, but I think it had to do with the fact my Winwing MFD displays were organized left to right with the my main monitor being right of the MFD's in the Windows Display settings when it need to be ordered with my main monitor on the left. I also changed my main screen font scaling back to 100% from 125% and this all allowed the pop up window to be visible on the F10 Map.

However, this just introduced another problem in that my kneeboard window comes up across my MFD screens and I cannot seem to move it to the main screen. It's becoming beyond annoying to configure DCS.

Any chance there is a manual method of relocating the kneeboard window via a configuration file or something I could edit to move it to my main monitor?

Show your monitor config. Maybe we'll figure out sth.

Doubt this passes IC, but it's what I use to move/resize my kneeboard to fit on one of my WW MFD's.  They are to the right of my main screen, so you'll need to mess with the 1st 2 numbers to get where you need and 2nd two to size it as you like.

Attached is the viewporthandling file. I changed the values to what you had but then the kneeboard no longer comes up. Maybe I just don't understand the syntax for this. 

Also attached a screen shot of my monitor layout. Screen resolution in total is 6144x2160. My main monitor is running at 3840x2160 while each WW usb display is at 768x1024.

 

Let me know if you need to see a specific lua file. Thanks

Change the 1st 2 numbers to 0 (so (0,0,600,700) and that should put your kneeboard in the top left corner of your main screen.  With my numbers it will be trying to display off the right hand side of you main screen and below your MFD's (I have my MFD's stacked vertically beside my main screen).

Excellent. Thank you for this. That did the trick and got my kneeboard over to the the main screen.

So what I have learned from my initial problem is that Winwing simapp Pro does not like screen scaling for size of text, apps, and other items. You have to leave this at 100% otherwise the monitor arrangement will only be recognized in WW from Left to Right.
