Locate this Ka-50\BlackShark\data\script\

Options.Lua

look for this line and change this

}, -- end of ["display_mode"]

["effects"] = 3,

["lights"] = 2,

["haze"] = 1,

["terrPrld"] = "20",

["height"] = 1200, <

["resolution"] = "1920x1200", <

["civTraffic"] = 1,

["width"] = 3200, <

}, -- end of ["graphics"]

} -- end of options

 

These areas need changed with Notepad++

 

 

 

 

Found it is in these 3 files or LUA's that need to be changes for this to work with the buttons adjusted to center.

 

It's a bit crude but works. Credit with help from fellow multiplayer monitor runners like NASTY. Thanks bro

ps. you forgot that options.lua you need configure there your whole monitor resolution too.

and ur welcome

[71st_Mastiff]

hey mod's can you move this into the mods section?

[MackTheKnight]

Special thanks Mastiff for posting these instructions. I've setup a Shkval on a 7" USB monitor just as you, thanks to your steps.

 

One thing I discovered by accident, and perhaps this is a result of patch 1.02.

 

When modifying the Briefing.res, Select-as-window-multiplayer.res & main-screen.res, the files are now located in KA50\FUI\resourcesbs\multiplayer

 

\resources is still there but modifying the files in there didn't do anything for me. The same files exist in \resourcesbs and modifying them did the trick for me.

 

Cheers,

Mack

yes just go into your ATI CCC and drag the main monitor to the right of the other monitor in that field and you should be good to go.

Hello folks!

I'm trying to setup my 2 Lilliput UM-70 LCDs as Shkval and Abris, but without luck.

My prim monitor is 1920*1200 and both Lilliputs are 800*480.

The Issue is - there nothing shown on Lilliputs after fly started. There just wallpaper and yellow cursor cross if I moving mouse out of the main screen.

 

Could you please take a look?

 

Here my MonitorSetup for any case:

 

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('My');

Description = 'my'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

 

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1920;

y = 800;

width = 800;

height = 480;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 1920;

y = 0;

width = 480;

height = 800;

}

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

 

 

"Total resolution" in Option.lua - just disappearing after game run.

[Necroscope]

I've found that I'm able to see Shkval and Abris on Lilliputs Only if I pick and moving any other window (f.e. icq or folder) over BS2 screen. Once window released - pictures on lilliputs just freesing.

Ideas, pals?

[71st_Mastiff]

wait this isnt the right set up

 

try this

make sure to move your displays in the NVIDIA control panel too.

and dont forget to set the total screen size into the options ui page. 1920+480=2400x 1080+480=1560 really actualy depends where you put your LCDs under or left to the monitor center camera.

 

 

name = _('MFCD');

Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x =0;

y =0;

width =1920;

height =1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

RIGHT_MFCD =

Hi Mastif, thanx for your answer!

as far as I can see in your code - LCD placed one on right and one below of main screen. In my setup both are on right, but one is flipped. And it is works, at list if I move any other window over BS screens.

For me it looks like refresh issue on Lilliputs or something alse.

you try the new display links from them they have new drivers.

[Necroscope]

Already used latest one.

Could you please show your setup? BS2 version, Windows version, drivers versions, display link version?

 

BTW - I've see same situation when I've try to play movie via Windows MediaPlayer Classic - nothing shown until window moving.

Sorry for dumb question - I'm just got Lilliputs on New Year. )

that's your drivers

what video drivers you have.

[Necroscope]

According http://www.displaylink.org my issue most likely happen because Aero is turned off in my Windows.

Will check today evening and let you know.

 

Thank you.

[71st_Mastiff]

yes aero needs to run with the USB monitors. and Drivers for your video card are most likely the issue. I'm running 290.53's nvidia. the trick is to uninstall displaylink drivers then install the video drivers then reinstall the display-link drivers. I had to do it 2 times to get them to work.

 

I have 2 7" Lilliput's and a 9 inch double sight all works fine. the other issue some times is the resolution sizes are off. to find out how much take a print screen when your running then paste in the paint program and see how much off and then move it on 10 to 100 increment's.

Remeber in BS2 you dont have to make changes to the option lua any more its asimple as right click in the resolution box and type the total size in there as I have.

Ок, it works fine with AERO ENABLED!

Should be in FAQ for sure.

 

Thank you!
