2nd monitor

[javelina1]

Hi group,

 

needing a little help. I'm attempting to display the MFD's onto a 2nd monitor. Here's my setup. the primary LCD is 1920 x 1080, and my secondary is a 1024 x 768.

 

I've gone into the DCS options, and unchecked the full screen. Also, I've inputted my resolution as 2944 x 1080.

 

I can see the A-10C span across the two monitors, but I'm unable to keep the 1920 x 1080 as the primary view, and the 1024 x 768 to show only the MFD's. I only see the A-10C cockpit and terrain, spanning across both monitors.

 

Attached are my config settings, (1camera.lua & the screen capture from the display control panel). any insight would be appreciated:

 

TIA,

Thanks Peter. I've been using that document. (It's very good). I'm just needing to go back and double check my math/coordinates... :)

Ok, just figured it out... typical programmer's error. a couple extra "}" in the code... :music_whistling:

 

See up in my original .lua... I pulled those out, and now I can see the MFD's

 

 

Now, all I need to do is get the MFD displays to align within my Cougar MFD's....

 

Thanks PeterP for writing up a great doc!!!!

all dialed in now! gonna fly for a bit, and then figure out how to map commands to the Cougar MFD's, now that they overlay the display ok. :thumbup:
