LIlliput UM80 monitors and TH MFD's

[jdmesty]

I have looked thru the whole forum and also tried everythiing I could think of to export the 2 A10 videos screens out to my UM80's. I treied all the LUA settings I have been seeing in this forum and when I start a instant mission in the A10 it will just crash when loading the mission and takes me back to the screen where I can cancel teh mission and go back to the options screen. I have tried with just one USB monitor on and both and no luck getting any video into the Lillputs.

 

I have Windows 7 64 bit, I can see place objects in both USB monitors in windows so I know they work. Using DCSworld 1.2.2 with all modules installed. I am using an Windows Aero theme and have disable unchecked in DCS options

 

So question is, under monitor properties do I have they both to the right side of my main monitor, or one on either side. I have tried multiple of the existing LUA and also the text that have been offered in some of the forums.

 

I have a main monitor of 1920 x 1080.

 

So I guess my questiion is how should my monitors be configured in properties, 1 - 2 - 3, or 2 - 1 - 3. And what should my LUA settings be for all the x and y. Do I need to go into Options and set my monitor to 3520 x 1080.

 

Really confused

 

Thanks

Hi , you could probably start by posting your monitor config file and a screen shot of display resolution settings window

When I was attempting to configure my multi-monitor setup, there were two things that caused a crash when loading a mission:

 

1) Full screen enabled in the options

2) An incorrect resolution ratio set in the options.

Really good tutorial on YouTube for doing this type of setup.

I have watched that and was the first one I tried to use to see if I can get just the one working.

 

I think my problem is going to be I have Full Screened checked and will check when I get home.

So after I get the monitor properties to have the main monitor as 1 and the two Lilliput to the right as 2 and 3 that will give me a resolution I have to add to the options LUA as 3520 x 1080 and then do my Monitor LUA as something like this to start

 

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('MFD SETUP');

Description = 'USB LILLIPUT'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.7;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 1930;

y = 4;

width = 560;

height = 560;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 2730;

y = 4;

width = 560;

height = 560;

}

Thanks Thern

 

That is what it was. The Full Screen option was enabled. Once I unchecked it, everything fell in place

 

Thanks again for all the help
