Cougar MFD size

[Rubberduck]

Was trying, and mostly failing to get the MFD's on my second screen to be the correct size to mount my Cougars onto the screen.

 

I am fine with the positioning and changing the LUA, my LUA is working fine outputting the MFD's to my second screen, it's just the sizing for the cougars I am now having trouble with.

 

I have made up a bracket to fix the cougars but I can't seem to get the image to match. It's either too big or small and the button labels don't quite match.

 

Am I right in thinking that the number of pixels needed to fill the cougar is dependant on screen resolution? Therefore there is no definitive answer as it will vary from screen to screen?

 

I have seen various posts, quoting number as diverse as 520x520 down to 480x480.

 

Would I be right in thinking that the best way to map them and change the figures in my LUA would be to use PixelWindowApp ?

 

Thanks in advance

Surely it's going to depend on the resolution you're running plus the physical size of your monitor, as the Cougars are fixed in size?

 

(I'm getting my Cougars this week so will be doing the same thing)

 

I'm assuming I'm going to just have to use trial and error until it looks right.....

The dimensions in pixels will vary with resolution and monitor pixel density (400pixels on 24'' full hd monitor will not be the same size as 400pixels on a full HD 50'' TV screen).

 

What you can do is divide your horizontal/vertical resolution with width/height of the display area of your monitor.

You will get how many pixel are in each cm (or inch) of your display.

Multiple this number by width/height of the cougar MFD and you'll get the desired pixel resolution.

Yep exactly what I thought. See Winz's answer below when you need to do it :)
