How do I remove the MFCDs

[Thick8]

Hi all. I've relocated my MFCDs and RWR on a 16" monitor. I'd like to remove them from displaying on the aircraft (A-10c). Is this possible?

edit: I did try PeterP's "export-fixed-for-DCS-A-10 1.1.1.1 and a example LUA" download with no joy. Everything still displayed in the cockpit.

second edit: Here's my monitor LUA

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('16inchmonitor');

Description = 'MFDs on 16 inch monitor';

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 5836;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 5.403703703703703;

}

}

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 5890;

y = 60;

width = 441;

height = 441;

}

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 6701;

y = 60;

width = 441;

height = 441;

}

RWR_SCREEN =

{

x = 6397;

y = 0;

width = 244;

height = 244;

}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

To get the incockpit MFCDs not to render, you need to edit ViewportHandling.lua file (with Notepad++. Open it as an Administrator.)

 

In DCS World that file can be found here:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common

 

Using Notepad++, comment out line 31 by adding the -- as highlighted in red below

 

purposes = {[color=Red]--[/color]render_purpose.GENERAL,
render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,
render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT,
render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_INSIDE_COCKPIT} -- set purposes to draw it always
render_target_always = true
end

 

And once again, when you next time update your DCS World, the updater will replace your edited file. So be prepared to restore it.

Worked like a charm. Thanks FreeFall.
