Hi everyone- Sorry to drag this one up again but I cant quite get it working having searched the threads and its driving me mad!!!

I have a three projector setup with a full cockpit that has a 4th monitor for instruments, trying to use helios to display them in there.

using fly elise to warp the projector images, using immersive calibration pro to do the alignment without a camera...

Ill explain where I am and attach some files- I think the problem is in the monitorsetup lua file...

 

SO..  I used nvidia control panel to configure the three projectors into a single large display using nvidia surround.

set windows display up to match, with the 4th monitor to the right of the now single projector display.

projector display set to 3072 x 768     

monitor is 1366 x 768

 

ran immersive calibration pro and warped the projectors, got a good image at the end.

then exported the files for DCS, it gave me a load of files.

then ran the main fly elise immersive pro software, which correctly shows the single projector display and a second one to the right which is the monitor.

Right clicked on the projector display and chose the external calibration, selecting the "multiprocalib" file 

then went to the "simulators" tab and chose dcs, it showed up the directory paths for the dcs root directory and the saved games/dcs/config/monitorsetup

 

clicked apply, it stated "applied to files" or similar

 

HELIOS

 

setup helios to match the displays using the t45 profile to get going

All looks well- green on all the interface and monitor sections.

 

DCS

 

OK, so If i start DCS go to settings in the new  launch screen and choose 3072 x 1024 (bear with me i know thats wrong) and choose the fly elise file under "monitors" then when running dcs I get a perfect warped main game image on the projectors which looks great.  I also have the analogue instruments working on the 4th monitor in helios, BUT no MFD's.....

 

If I set DCS to the full resolution of 4438 x 768  and choose "Helios" in the monitors option,  then I lose the warping in the main game image but get helios working perfectly with the mfd's displayed 

 

If I set DCS to 3072 x 1024 and use the "helios" momitor option then I have no warping on the projectors AND no mfd's.

 

I have tried copying in the fly-elise displays part of the monitorsetup lua file into the helios lua file and then using that , but then I get the main game display going across the projected display AND the monitor!!!

Im sure its getting the lua file just right but I cant quite get there!!!

 

Any help with this appreciated....with the lack of fly-elise instructions Ive been fighting with it all for about 6 months!!!

 

Regards

Les

Ok, so chatgpt tells me I should definitely be using the "singleprocalib" file, despite the fly Elise instructions....as the multi file is for using multiple PC's linked together.  Ill concentrate on this route
