Hey Guys, I run 2 monitors and the comms menu text shows up in the second one, but is unreadable due to my rt MFD in DCS A10. Before world I could edit this file and move the text to the main screen, C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\FUI\Resources\Radio menu.res. My trouble is that I can't find that radio folder? Is it still WIP or has it been moved?

 

Also the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\FUI\Resources menu.res does not have the same info in it..any help would be great thx..5X5:thumbup:

http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy234/brettmccl/commsmenu.jpg

 

the comms menu is hiding on the right monitor behind the right mfcd

 

ive carried out a full install using and in order

 

world 1.1.2.1

P51d 1.1.2.1

A10c 1.1.1.1

a10c update 1.1.2.1

in c:\programfiles\eagle dynamics\dcs world

and c:\programfiles\eagle dynamics\dcs A10C

 

I have only used the original files no clickable mod installed

 

this renders the second screen useless......how can we fix this please

The radio-menue is completely reworked....

(in DCS:World)

Files for appearance and behaviour are now in :

...\DCS World\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel

 

But I can't tell what exactly to do to get the click-able/moveable functionality back , I had only a brief look at the files.

 

BTW - Interesting Detail:

There are player-controlled radio-menu settings for ground-units and for a T-72/M-1 Abrams.....

>>> DCS World\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\Config\

 

 

@Developers/Testers

 

Please bound the Communication menu at least again to the "UIMainView" in DCS:World , instead on the whole in-game reselution.

..., so Multi-head users are able to use the communication menu again! :)

Or even better - create a dedicated View-port for the Communication-menu.

 

And while you are on it - make it click-able via a check-box.

So it works like it has done in 1.1.1.1 :

Drag/Drop and Click-able Radio Communication menu

It was pure joy to chit-chat with the AI without to grab the keyboard.

But now..... (!).

I got a simple workaround, EDIT following file:

 

... DCS World/Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/CommandMenu.lua

 

Line 55:

 

menuWidth = 280

 

Increase this number (its in pixels) and the menu will move to the left side. Example... I have main screen 1920 pixels wide and 800 pixels touchscreen to its right... so my menus now show on the touchscreen... when I increase this number from 280 to 1080 (adding the 800 pixels of the touchscreen) the menu shows 280 pixels over the main monitor... simple aye :D

Thanks for the tip. Now the comms menu is back on my main monitor. Rep inbound.

Kuky, you are a legend mate!! Well done and thanks.

 

However, ED/ Wags - can you please note PeterP's comments so we can get a clickable radio menu back. Using the Function keys again is a real pain. I was hoping this (a clickable radio menu) is something DCS would have by now in the standard build.

 

Thanks :(

This might be a better fix, as the menuWidth change will not prevent the text to overflow to second monitor.

The menu location is defined on line 103 :)

menuPanel:setBounds(width - menuWidth, 0, menuWidth, height)

Changing the first paramater to i.e 1600

menuPanel:setBounds(1600, 0, menuWidth, height)

will set the menu on fix location 1600,0.

This way, you will not get text overflow to second monitor.

 

Note that if you changed the menuWidth on line 55, to move the menu, you need to change it back to it's default value, or your com menu will go FUBAR :)

 

btw, thanks to Kuky for pointing me to the right file :)
