HUD-only view

[SuperKungFu]

How do I get a true Hud-only view? Currently the Alt-F1 shows the HUD, a giant map and the MFD on the side, how can I get rid of those two?

 

I know the map can be hide with the button "K"

 

But I can't get rid of the MFD - or how about a way to downsize it since it's rather large.

 

In DCS A-10C I can get rid of it by following this:

I just need it for Flanker, F-15...etc.

I have the same problem, however at least you have solve half of it.

 

I cannot hide the horrid-map when pressing K

 

Can you tell me what is the name of the command assigned to your K button?

The easiest way, so you can revert it any-time without to use a editor:

 

Use attached 'monitorsetup'.lua.

Copy it to: Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup\..

and select 'NO MFCDs in HUD-only' in DCSWorld>Options>System.Monitors before your next Mission start

 

or

 

simply paste following code (bold) into your used one.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('NO MFCDs in HUD-only');

Description = 'One monitor configuration'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect;

}

}

 

LEFT_MFCD =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 0;

height = 0;

}

 

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 0;

height = 0;

}

This will prevent the MFCDs from being visible in the Hud-only view in any module/plane that allows the export.

 

To have them exactly like you want/need them : just edit the zeros to your needs.

 

A helping hand how to set-up/edit your 'monitorsetup'.lua

Cool thanks! Your attached file worked like a charm. Any chance it can start off with the leg map off as well? I still find myself hitting "K" when it starts which isn't that big of a deal but would be cool.
