support for 3 screens in options please

[Japo32]

Hello,

 

Don't know if has already been asked to include, but I think this is desperating each time there is a new update.

 

I play with 3 screens at 5040x1050.. So every time I have a new update I have to rework things to make everything ok.

 

1. I have to set the 1camera.lua in config/monitorsetup from aspect = screen.aspect; to aspect = screen.aspect *3;

I could use other set than the 1 camera.... but with that 1 camera options I have the best FPS I can get.

 

2. I have to go to server.lua and change the angle limits in the: CameraViewAngleLimits to something like 60 to 150 or so to each plane

 

3. the default view change in: Config/View/SnapViewsDefault.lua and change the [13] = {--default view

viewAngle = 75.000000,--FOV line to something like 120.000000

 

 

Would it be possible to include a line in the options to match all of these automatically for use we use 3 screens please?.. and a range of fov to set in all the planes automatically in options? (set a value range but not per plane.. but all in general in a only change number.

 

Would be great!

 

Thanks!

Don't edit the default files- create a new one!

So they won't get overwritten at next update.

That is what I thought to do.. but recently they changed the way of setting the max and min Fov Angle in a new format. Who tell me that they are not going to do it next time?

 

Even with the creation of a new plane or helo, they add new lines. If I just copy and paste my old configuration, I will break some functionabilities in the new planes.

 

Things have to be done right I believe (if they want to make them...) and I think there are a good number of users that use 3 screens, or strange screen resolutions.

 

Would like to see that implementation in future for sure!

 

Thanks!

Solution given to me on another thread was to go to

... User/Saved Games/DCS/Config/Options.lua

and open the file for editing.

 

Scroll down to the line with <aspect ratio> in it. It has an '=' sign followed by the number 1.3333333333333

 

Change the aspect ratio number to 5.333333333333 and <Save>

 

That's it! No other changes necessary. I am using 3 Samsung 23" monitors with TrackIR 5 detuned. :D
