Subtitles appearing on second monitor - do not want

[KryptKeeper]

Currently I have my display settings to LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD with the MFCDs appearing on a second monitor (overlaid with a set of Cougar MFDs). This all works very nicely, but during training, the subtitles appear across the two monitors, with about the left 10% appearing on the main camera view, and the rest stretched across the second monitor. This is very difficult to read, with the MFCD graphics underneath the white type and the Cougar frames obscuring much of the text, especially on training missions that are missing voiceover.

 

Will the final release have any option to control the size/position of the subtitles, or is there any workaround for this?

 

On the upside, I am really enjoying the voice work on the training missions that have it. The gentleman who does the training narration is very clear and easy to understand in this sim than the ones on Lockon/FC2. Good job! Looking forward to more. :thumbup:

 

Thanks!

There is a work around...its in the multimonitor thread in the beta forums.

Ah...did not realize I wasn't on the beta forums! :music_whistling: Apparently the instructions when I purchased were incorrect. Went back and followed the instructions on this board and will search out the post you mentioned. Thanks!

Ok, got on beta forums and sorted it out! In summary, the solution was to set up the monitors in Windows settings so that they are stacked one on top of the other, and setting the lua files so that the total resolution was the width of the largest monitor, and the height of monitor 1 + monitor 2. I had tried this previously but never got it to work so I had configured them to span horizontally...boo... For some reason spanning vertically now works (think I had missed the ["resolution"] line to set the total res in addition to the width and height lines) , did some quick math to figure out the positions of the MFCDs, and everything worked happily the first time. This sim just gets better and better! :pilotfly:

 

Sorry for my ignorance!
