klem Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 1 line above GUI = add UIMainView = GUI Yes, sorry my mistake I left out the UIMainView = GUI. You define the GUI and then you tell UIMainView to use it so I have UIMainView after the definition: GUI = { x = 1920; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; } UIMainView = GUI klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Checkout ultramfcd.com In beta, I believe, but it may be easier for you. In this post, you'll see that I use all three monitors for the game, and I created the MFDs in monitor #4 and 5. So basically, you need to change the CENTER to be your middle screen, and LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD to be wherever you want to place it. Don't forget to change the in game resolution to encompass all three monitors. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a second video card? If it has one you may need to use an alternate port, e.g. DVI. You would need one monitor with matching input. Which card do you have? You will be running about 6 megapixels and I would have thought a card old enough or low level enough not to have 3 ports available may not have the performance you need. klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfox Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi! I read lots of pages on this thread but feels dumb as I can't find an answer to something I had no problem on any other game... I just would like to have a simple 3 screen setup. So I chose full resolution and set configuration to "3 screens" in options. It works ok, even if I can't figure exactly how to adapt the bezels so the image matches between screens... But DCS is still not getting that descent FPS... So I'd like to get a lower resolution to try out, but then I got the game not centered anymore on central screen. Just hope I make my point clear.... 1st point: how to adapt bezel width to get perfect image matching? And second point: how to set a lower than native screen resolution but still having the image centered? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a second video card? I woulld look at a triple Head to Go splitter. They are a little expensive but work very well. I use a digital version which runs 3 BenQ HD projectors at a resolution of 3860 x 1024. Happy to give you more information if you want?

VZ_342 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ok, I'm at work now but will post system specs when I get home. I *think* it has 3 video ports, two HDMI and one DVI. I got it about 6 months ago for DCS, so I imagine it's GTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it about 6 months ago for DCS, so I imagine it's GTG. I have 4 screens connected to my GTX 970 / has DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort So, connected two monitors with DVI, 1 with HDMI and then had to buy an actual HP DP-to-HDMI, after a ebay cheapo failed to work properly, to connect my 4th monitor. So, output converters are your friend if your video outputs and you monitor inputs don't match. 3 screens have a tremendous impact on your FPS. 3 screens will roughly drop you FPS by 1/3, so, if you want FPS above 30 minimum (to be watchable), your present capability of card's FPS with 1 screen should be 45 FPS (lows) (my 4 screens half the FPS of 1 screen) | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VZ_342 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Ok, I have 3 monitors working in Win10, and have edited a copy of the "1screen" .lua...the instructions mention selecting the name in the "config" area in-game, but I don't see it. How do I select the modified copy? (The original is saved, btw) ETA: Got it...On the page with the various settings for terrain detail, clouds, etc there is a pull-down menu called "RESOLUTION" and that's where it was. :joystick: OMG...The view is SPECTACULAR, AND EVEN INDUCED VERY MILD VERTIGO!!! i LOVE IT!!1! :pilotfly: FWIW, fps went down to 40 (35 w/mirrors) but I didn't notice it.

XtraChrisP Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hey guys, I successfully exported my A-10C MFCDs to my second monitor. Love the result, but my only complaint is that it's sometimes hard to tell which LSK goes with which function. What I would like to do is put an image file in the background with the video from the MFCDs overlaid on top. That would make it much easier for me to know which LSK hot-key I need to hit. Anyone got any ideas? The pics will hopefully illustrate my point; exported images on a black screen on the left and on the right a rough mock-up of what I would like my second screen to look like.
