Disbale ABRIS and SHKVAL in 3D Cockpit

[SpyderPB6]

Hello All,

 

I am looking for a way to disable the SHKVAL and ABRIS in 3D cockpit view as I have them setup on two other monitors. I would like to gain what little FPS I can as a result of this.

 

I came across this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71255, but it does not work for me in BS2.

 

Any hints or other ways you guys know of?

 

 

Thanks,

Mike.

BS1 and 2? Not working for me in bs2? (may be me?) either

--purposes 	 = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}
--purposes 	 = {render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}
purposes 	 = {}

my attempts

You need ViewportHandling.lua.

works thanks zmey

Could this method work only for let's say the shkval?

[JG14_Smil]

yes, it will work for only the Shkval.

Thanks Smil

For SHKVAL only

 

OK BS1 procedure works different than BS2 it seems

 

For BS1 you need to edit SHKAVL_init.lua line 50 and comment out render_purpose.GENERAL with --

For BlackShark 2, comment out render_purpose.GENERAL with -- seems to turn off both SHKAVL and Abris, how exactly can we disable only the SHKAVL and leave the Abris on in the 3d pit.

Hi Damage, for BS-2 as stated By ZMEY-HS link

 

Go to

<your DCS folder>\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\Viewport Handling.lua

 

On line 31 comment out "render_purpose.GENERAL"

So the complete line looks like this:

 

purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL,

render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT} -- set purposes to draw it always

Add the below code to the end of your SHKVAL_init.lua file and all will be well. Put your viewporthandling.lua back to original.

purposes                  = {--render_purpose.GENERAL,
                               render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,
                               render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT,
                               render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT}

 

Commenting out this line

purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL

in viewporthandling.lua will kill the all cockpit displays that use the viewporthandling.lua. Which in BS2 is just the SHKVAL, Abris and PVI800.

Airdog Are you sure? Because I have that one line commented out and everything is in the 3d cockpit except the shkval. I did not even touch SHKVAL_init.lua

 

This is my viewporthandling.lua in BS-2

 

purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL,

render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT} -- set purposes to draw it always

Don't know what to tell you. All I did was post what works for me. I look at it this way...mine works for me, yours works for you, now he has 2 ways to try and make it work for him.

When I do this, the SHKVAL and Abris both turn off. I only want the SHKVAL to turn off.

[speckfire]

Are you on full screen mode?

 

ok try airdog's suggestion. He seem to have the same issue as you.

 

Put back viewporthandeling.lua back to original and add the below code to the end of your SHKVAL_init.lua

purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL,

render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT,

render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT}

Make sure you add EVERYTHING to the end of the Shkval_init.lua file. I was just hacking into the file above to save a few lines of text (don't ask me why). And it did not work. Once I followed the directions to the dot, it worked perfectly. Gave me a few extra FPS in dense situations.

 

Though I have found even though I didn't use the cockpit Shkval to target, my peripheral vision used it for confirmation of target kills. I now glance more to my second monitor to determine kills and it is throwing me off a little.
