2monitors: Map F10 coordinates dissappeared

[majapahit]

have main on right 1920x1200 and

ABRIS and Shkval on Left_Bottom (bottom alligned, so to see Controls readout) 1280x1024

 

(and works OK (with phantommonitorfix)), BUT

means Mapview F10 is spanned over 3200x1200 and top_left missing

 

- I cannot get to top of 'info' window (to move/see it)

- I miss top left of the statusbar that supposed to show Coordinates on the map view

 

to enter coordinates in the PVI, I need the F10 map coordinates, because the ABRIS coordinates (ERBL Mark) are a different map projection and waaaay off (my wingman disappears over the mountain range)

 

any .lua where I should look for the 'coordinates' readout of the F10 Map?

anyone solved this perhaps?

 

thx

I see. I had also problems with multimonitor setup, e.g. with multiplayer screen, where some buttons were missing on second monitor because it has smaller resolution (especially width) than the main one. I solved it as follows (vertical layout):

 

Top monitor: 22" 1680x1050

Bottom monitor: 17" 1280x1024 (bottom one) but resolution set to 1680x1050 ! (requires some tweaking with monitor driver)

 

So as you see, the screen is shrinked on second monitor. But that is not a problem as you use it only for Black Shark. I have Shkval + Abris on it, at top part of monitor. Shkval uses like 2/3 (1120px) of width and Abris 1/3 (560px) of monitor width. The width is 1680 pixels in this case (not 1280!). Height of Shkval and Abris is 580 pixels.

 

The point of this configuration is, that you don't loose any pixels of entire rendered screen. Yeah, the image on second monitor is little bit shrinked, but I can live with that in favour of being able to click JOIN button on multiplayer screen ;)

 

 

So my config is:

 

(options.lua)

Screen width: 1680

Screen height: 1630

Aspect ratio: 1,0306748

 

(monitor_setup.lua)

Center x: 0

Center y: 0

Center width: 1680

Center height: 1050

Shkval x: 0

Shkval y: 1050

Shkval width: 1120

Shkval height: 580

Abris x: 1120

Abris y: 1050

Abris width: 560

Abris height: 580

 

 

It might look like Abris will be displayed as square, but it actually won't as the screen is shrinked on second monitor.

 

I hope this will help you. You can also try using horizontal monitor layout, with second monitor rotated 90 degrees clockwise (or CC) because your resolution height (1200px) is very close to your second monitor width (1280px) as it would be in result height of screen. You can also try using the trick with tweaking monitor driver and set the height to 1200px but I'm not sure if this can be done. You will probably loose 80px of screen.

 

Yeah and I almost forgot. You don't need Phantomfix with 1.0.1 BS version anymore.
