Dual Monitors and camera+lmfcd&rmfcd...

[lsgheero]

Hey guys,

 

I have created the following video script which should take my 3200x900 screen res (1600x900 each monitor) and make it so that the main dcs camera view is on the first monitor and that my mfcds are displayed on the second.

 

However it bleeds the camera about 400-500 pixels into the second monitor and I can also not see the "fly, etc buttons" when loading the games.

 

Any thoughts I read some of the pdf guides on setting these up thats how I got what I have thus far which should be working lol....

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('camera+lmfcd+rmfcd');
Description = 'camera+lmfcd+rmfcd';
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
   x = 0;
   y = 0;
   width = screen.width / 2;
   height = screen.height;
   viewDx = 0;
   viewDy = 0;
   aspect = screen.aspect / 2;
    }
}   

LEFT_MFCD =
{
x = screen.width / 2;
y = (screen.height / 3) / 2;
width = screen.width / 4;
height = screen.width / 4;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
x = (screen.width / 4) * 3;
y = (screen.height / 3) / 2;
width = screen.width / 4;
height = screen.width / 4;
}


UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Heres a pic of the situation in case that offers a better idea :)

Check that you disabled DPI scaling in Windows and

please post a DxDiag to get more help.

I have dpi scaling disabled for both the launcher.exe and dcs.exe apps using registry entries.

 

Here is my DX Daig.. was too large to post here so...

nvm not sure what changed with this but I just wrote out the pixels instead of using the math type script....its working now.

 

new script in case anyone else runs my res (3200x900) and wants todo the same.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Dual Display');

Description = 'camera+lmfcd+rmfcd';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1600;

height = 900;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 2;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1600;

y = 150;

width = 500;

height = 500;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 2400;

y = 150;

width = 500;

height = 500;

}

 

 

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

I have a suspicion...

Please humour me when you have time and uncheck "disable Aero Theme" in DCS (I assume you are using a Aero desktop interface) and try your monitor-setup.lua with the mathematical expressions again.

 

BTW: I highly recommend to leave Aero on when running the sim in windowed mode - as this can boost your frames significant.
