Darkphox Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I'm running a custom display setup via SoftTH. It's a 1920x1200 monitor in center with a 600x800 LCD on each side (for exporting MFDs in A10 & KA50). The Huey doesn't have MFDs, but in 1.2.4 the "weapon hints"/autopilot overlay displayed on my right side LCD. That left my center monitor clean and dedicated to the cockpit. Now in 1.2.5 the weapon hints/autopilot overlay is displayed (very largely) on my center monitor and is a bit in the way. Can anyone guide me to the LUA that controls the weapon hints/autopilot overlay? I'd like to move it back to my side LCD where it's out of the way. Any insight is appreciated, -Phox Edited July 27, 2013 by Darkphox EVGA X-58 SLI3 w/ I7 920@ 4.2ghz | Corsair 1000HX | 180gb Intel SSD330 | 12gb OCZ @ 1600mhz | R9 290 3120x1200 (1920 + MFCDs on 2x lilliput UM-80s) Bits: TM Warthog, TM OSBs, Saitek rudder pedals, Logitech G-15 & G-13, Mionix Naos 5k, TrackIR5 w/ proclip, Corsair HS1A
docbrown Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I followed the instructions on this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=106070&highlight=weapon+hint I changed the value in line #8 from 0.02 to 4 in DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\PilotSight\PilotSight_page.lua but did not see any difference. Is there another file to edit since 1.2.5?
Darkphox Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Solved Found a possible solution in the input/output forums...http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=105321 Specifically, Hi Cowboy10uk I have a partial solution for you. I was able to find a way to move the WEAPON and AUTOPILOT status around to my preferred spot. The weapon and autopilot status texts are defined in the following file: ...\Program Files\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\PilotSight\PilotSight_page.lua I just modified the values inside the file so that the texts appear where I want. The modified file is attached below. And a photo of how it looks on my system (I have 2 monitors: main screen 1920x1200 and small one below that one 1024x768; two Cougar MFD frames are attached with velcro to the bottom corners of the small one and a small keypad is on the top edge). The Cougar MFD keys next to the text are bound to the autopilot functions. Trial & error with the numbers may allow you to move the status text around to the proper place on your 4th screen. Note that the x-axis numbers increase to the left. I hope this helps. Not sure which lines to edit but will plug and play for a bit and followup with the result.
