lawsjr Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Is there a way in the monitor config file to take into account the angle of the monitors? I am using three asus 22" monitors and want to set the angle so that everything looks correct when head turning. I know that iRacing takes this into account and was wondering if DCS world did as well. I have the following settings. 5760 x 1080 with full screen unchecked. 1 monitor. I do not use the other monitors for MFCD, just cockpit views.
cichlidfan Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 AFAIK, the three camera lua has the side view at a right angle to the front view and their is no way to alter that. It would certainly be useful.

lawsjr Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Yes it would be. As it is if you are using three monitors for cockpit view when you look left or right the wings are forshortened or zoomed in until they move to the front monitor. I am just guessing that if we could set the angle of the monitors that would take care of it.
leonpo Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You can change the angle in 3 monitors lua file. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1425549
lawsjr Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 So I have messed around with the 3 monitor lua and came up with this: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('3 Screen'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = -1.1; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; }, Center = { x = screen.width / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; }, Right = { x = screen.width * 2 / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 1.1; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; } } UIMainView = Viewports.Center Which resulted in the attached image. It is a lot closer but sill doesn't look right. Any ideas?
leonpo Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You need to reduce FOV to 45 to have right alignment. Leon
lawsjr Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Where is the lua file that contains the FOV setting?
metalnwood Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The other thing that iracing does which DCS does not do it keep trackir working properly. I.e. in iracing you can look around the world and everything continues to line up properly. In DCS when you render three screens they views will not line up properly when you move your head around in TIR, from memory it was pitch that really showed it up.
lawsjr Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 Made some changes. Everything looks okay except for the HUD. Flying pretty level I can't see the pitch bars correctly. Any ideas?

Kuky Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 ^^^ You could move pilot's head little forward, this will have HUD more visible, can't remember if it was X or Y value so just try increasing one by 0.05 (5cm) or 0.1 (10cm) forward so if this works for you [13] = {--default view viewAngle = 75.000000,--FOV hAngle = 0.000000, vAngle = -23.000000, x_trans = 0.21125, <--- this one y_trans = 0.0221875, <--- or this one z_trans = 0.000000, rollAngle = 0.000000, }, PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
lawsjr Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 Will try that.. I was thinking if there was a way to adjust seat height that would take care of it.. Feels and looks like I am sitting to high in the cockpit. Any way of changing that?
