multi monitor question

[bigdog4215]

I know fc2 is ment for 3 monitors but I only have 2.I set the resoulution so it thinks there is a 3rd monitor and I get the center and left screens.I wanted to know if there is a way I could get the center and the right screens.

Yes- there is a way to do this - but you will need to utilize SoftTH.(doing it only in LockOn will be problematic - because every screencontend is drawn from left to right...)

 

You wont be able to see the radio calls (because the the right side is missing) - but you can use a hotkey of softTh to see all contend.

- App key + S: Toggle squashing, draws whole frame to middle

monitor only, helpful for using UI with games that stretch

the UI to all three monitors

What is softTH?

 

A SoftTH step by step instruction for DCS.

 

What you have to do for your special case is to render the whole Triplehead resolution but only show the middle and right section on your screens.

 

When you post me all relevant settings of your system I should be able to help you out to configure it properly.

Would be easier to just edit a monitor file in \LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config\MonitorSetup\ and run in window mode

 

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('2 Screens');
Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera';
Viewports = 
{


    Center = 
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920; --whatever your screensize 
         height = screen.height;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.7;
    },

    Right = 
    {
         x = 1920;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920;
         height = screen.height;
         viewDx = 1;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.7;
    }
}
