Kiowa RWR export - how to

[Hunter_5E]

Just been playing around to see if I could export my RWR as the in cockpit one is unreadable if the sun is behind you, plus it's pretty small in the view I fly with. Worked first time, sweet. Thought I'd post in case anyone else is trying to do this and not succeeding.

Works just the same as any other RWR export tbh, need these lines added to the bottom of the RWR Indicator Init.lua file:- (jpeg in rar file to show file location)

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("OH58D_RWR")

This file will be overwritten by any update so best to use a mod manager if you don't want to renew it yourself every time. As usual, make a backup of the original before editing it. Also, use Notepad++ to edit it, NOT Notepad. Plain old Notepad will break the code.

Next, add the positioning info in your monitor config file in your C:\Users\YourName\SavedGames\DCS\Config\MonitorSetup folder.

I've attached a rar file with the modified init.lua and my monitor config file (Kiowa MFD RWR.lua) for reference.

I fly on triple 1920x1080 screens and my bezels are set to 90. My flying view extends one third onto left and right monitors. I found the video stretching too much beyond that in single camera setup so used outer space for MFD's.
