Raven_Morpheus Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) I was having issues setting up a dual monitor setup with ABRIS/SHKVAL on my 2nd monitor to my left, not so much now, after some trial and error. I resolved the issues I was having by moving my monitor in ATI CCC to the left, deleting the SoftTH config file I had originally generated and used a new one. Seems to work well, it's a joy actually being able to see targets on the SHKVAL and seeing my waypoints properly on the map. 2 slight issues still remaining that I'd like to resolve - 1. The FPS counter (that you get when pressing CTRL+Pause) is not displaying, presumably because now it's hidden under the ABRIS which occupies the top half of my 2nd monitor that is to the left of me. Is there a way to move the FPS counter so that I can see it (like you can the controls indicator box)? 2. When I use the phantom monitor fix .exe file it pushes the point where the mouse thinks centre of the monitor is to the left. Thus the mouse is offset and if I go past a certain point (a tiny bit over halfway across to the right of my main monitor) I can't click on the cockpit because the mouse seems to think it's outside of my monitor and on the desktop!?! Doesn't happen when I don't use the phantom monitor fix, but I get an extra 10fps using that so is there anyway to resolve that issue? Thanks in advance. EDIT - nevermind. I seem to have solved both of those issues, but in a rather cack-handed fashion. I've moved the 2nd monitor back to the right in ATI CCC, set the ABRIS/SHKVAL to start at X pos 0 and moved the main view in by 900 (the width of my 2nd monitor) so it starts on my primary screen, but I used the SoftTH config that had been created when the 2nd monitor was on the left in ATI CCC. The phantom monitor fix now works fine and the FPS counter displays fine also, as does the mission text/comms, and NVG works fine also (now that I've downgraded to 1.01c as it's irreparably broken in 1.02 it seems). In fact the only thing wrong with the setup I have is that my monitor which is physically on my left is on the right as far as my computer is concerned. Surely they could have made setting up dual/multi monitors a whole lot easier?! Edited December 10, 2013 by Raven_Morpheus
