deactivating Shkval in cockpit view

[Donglr]

Hi all,

 

I have the Shkval screen in a viewport in the bottom center of my monitor, so it's easier to see than using the real one in the cockpit. I was wondering how I can deactivate the original Shkval display to have a nicer appearance and hopefully save some frames. I found this thread

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71255 but it is old and the config files have changed. There is a line like the one described in the file, but changing it does not do anything.

Anyone have an idea?

Shkval:

 

<your DCS folder>\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\Viewport Handling.lua

 

On line 31 delete "render_purpose.GENERAL"

All line looks:

 

purposes = {--render_purpose.GENERAL,

 

 

ABRIS:

 

"ABRIS_init.lua" in folder BlackShark\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\ABRIS

 

like Shkval but line 11

oh, it's in viewportHandling now.

 

Thx, man

mmmhhh.... does this really provide some frames more?

i don't know, but the cockpit screen is behind my extra shkval display which makes it somewhat irritating. So I'll deactivate it anyway

aehhmm, this does not work as intended. The is nothing like that in line 31. The only p"purposes" endtry is in line 57. If I delete the GENERAL statement it also disables the ABRIS. But I want to keep my ABRIS and only get rid of the Shkval

Yeah, i just re-installed the PC on Windows 8.1 and DCS too. But doesnt work it with 1.2.6, i just try it... Its interesting, because on version 1.2.5 it works fine. They must change something...

 

EDIT 21.9.2013: IT WORKS!! You must have set the Shkval on the 2nd monitor and it works... I tried only 1 monitor yesterday and Shkval and ABRIS was disabled. Now i am on 2 monitors (Main + Shkval) and only Shkval is disabled in cockpit..
