Hello everyone.

An old thread but it seemed suitable :thumbup:

 

This is to share some material on the Thrustmaster Cougar MFD button panel setup I did. Just in case someone finds it useful.

 

The Cougar MFD panels are mounted on either 24" main screen (1920x1200) corners or on a separate 15" screen (1024x768, analog vga) using small velcro strips. For Black Shark use, I set image on them with 4:3 and 3:4 ratio and the sides are used for labeling the buttons.

 

I attached a powerpoint file (black&white) which can be printed and cut with scissors to fit in the Cougar MFDs. Either print on paper and set between the plastics, or print on a transparent film... Just modify it to your key assignments and fine-tune according to your viewing angle/perspective.

 

When panels are attached on the monitor, just the 3:4 screen area is seen between the button labels - see the picture. Works well.:prop:

 

Below are the monitor setup files (config\monitorsetup).

24" screen:

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('MFDs on 1 screen');

Description = 'Shkval and ABRIS on the bottom corners on top of camera view';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

}

 

Shkval =

{

x = 0;

y = 1200-350;

width = 400;

height = 300;

}

 

ABRIS =

{

x = 1920-350;

y = 1200-400;

width = 300;

height = 400;

}

 

 

24" + 15" screen (horizontal spanning for fullscreen and good FPS on windows XP; with 1920x1200 scrolling area and 1024x768 viewable area on the 15"):

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('2 screens horizontal');

Description = 'Shkval and ABRIS on the right and camera on the left';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1200;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

}

 

Shkval =

{

x = 1920;

y = 46;

width = 368;

height = 276;

}

 

ABRIS =

{

x = 2944-322;

y = 0;

width = 276;

height = 368;

}

Brilliant idea RedX. I was looking towards a 8 inch touchscreen but really love this idea. Any ideas what I'd need to change in your profile for a 19" monitor?
