Non-beta .lua's for A-10C mfd export?

[gulfcoastfella]

Hey,

 

I've performed several searches on the input/output forum to learn how to export mfd screens using the A-10C .lua files, but all I can find are .lua files that were modified using the beta releases of A-10C.

 

Question: Can anyone tell me how to export mfd screens using the release version of A-10C? I'm assuming my 10" touchscreen is positioned at the bottom right of my main monitor.

 

Any help I can get would be awesome guys!

 

Thanks.

 

P.S. Sorry for the noob question, but how do I find out which version of DCS A10C I'm running?

Hi, it should work the same way as with the beta's.

From what I can tell, the MFCD export to mapped memory is hosed in A-10 and it doesn't seem like anyone's interested in fixing or including it.

 

It does seem as though it's possible to export the MFCDs to additional displays attached to your computer, if you've got a setup that supports such a configuration.

I can confirm this works, as I use a multimonitor setup, with the MFCD's on the secondary screen :)

Yes but only works in window mode ie: Not Full Screen (at least on the AMD GPUs)

If you use SoftTH you can use full screen :)

Is there a thread that details how to modify the lua's to do this? Can you post your modified lua file(s) so I can see what you did? Any help you can provide would be great!

The info is out there but to save you time, he's the rundown on my two monitor setup.

 

Monitor setup files:

the .lua files for your monitor setup that provide the in game options reside at <install path>\Config\MonitorSetup\. D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCSA-10c\Config\MonitorSetup, for example.

I copied one of the existing profiles as a template and came up with this:

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('2 Monitors');

Description = 'Two monitor configuration';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1680;

height = 1050;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

}

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1680;

y = 105;

width = 700;

height = 700;

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 2640;

y = 105;

width = 700;

height = 700;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

In Game Options:

Turn off "Full Screen."

Manually type in a resolution that is the combined resolution width of all of your monitors and the height of the whichever monitor you want to see the cockpit on. For example two monitors running 1680x1050 would be a combined 3360x1050. I have a left monitor that is 1680x1050 and a right monitor that is 1920x1080. I want the cockpit on the left side and the two MFCD on the right side, so my manual resolution entry was 3600x1050. Aspect Ratio should adjust automatically.

 

Finally, if you did everything correctly, you should see the monitor profile that you created in the dropdown list for "Montitor." It should show up using whatever you entered into the name= line of the file.

 

You'll want to adjust the numbers a bit to fit your needs. Specifically the x and y entries which denote the location of the upper left corner of that item. Just remember that the x attribute includes the entire width of both monitors and you should be fine.
