Blackshark1 BS1 Multi monitor export UV 26, PVI, Ekran (how to)

[bn880]

Exporting various devices to an external monitor has been documented for BS2 a few times, such as here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1322545&postcount=25

 

However it did not work for BS1. Finally I figured out why and here is how you can do it as well in case you still use BS1.

 

Follow the MonitorSetup/*.lua instructions as per the post linked above to define for example

Shkval =
{
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
    width = 662;
    height = 480;
}

ABRIS =
{
    x = 662;
    y = 0;
    width = 618;
    height = 800;
}

PVI =
{
  x = 0;        
  y = 481;            
  width = 224;
  height = 75;
}

UV_26 =
{
  x = 225;
  y = 481;
  width = 220;
  height = 110;
}

EKRAN =
{
  x = 0;
  y = 591;
  width = 235;
  height = 80;
}

(plz note UV_26)

 

Then replace the 3 files attached for UV 26, Ekran, and PVI

 

 

Basically BS2 uses an external script file under Aircrafts/_common/Cockpit/ViewportHandling.lua but BS1 doesn't have it. So

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") 

would not work.

 

Instead I merged the necessary script from the Shkval setup to each of the device setups directly so it will work for you. You can do the same for the PVI 800 and any other devices... (I was too lazy to move it to a modified ViewportHandling.lua file)

PVI_init.lua

Ekran_init.lua

UV_26_init.lua
