[Black Shark 1] ABRIS screen resolution and aspect ratio

[Raven_Morpheus]

Hello

 

I'm trying to get my 2nd monitor (which is in portrait orientation) just right for displaying both ABRIS and SHKVAL, but I'm having a problem getting the aspect ratio right for the ABRIS display.

 

The monitor is running at a resolution of 1080 tall and 900 wide (it's native resolution is 1440x900 but a multi monitor setup doesn't work properly with that because my primary monitor is 1920x1080 and 1440 in portrait is taller than 1080).

 

The SHKVAL is set to be in the bottom half, so 540 tall by 900 wide and this looks fine.

 

ABRIS however does not look fine at 540 tall by 900 wide. It does however look OK when at 1080 tall by 900 wide.

 

So I thought that halving the width, thus making the size of the ABRIS display 540 tall by 450 wide, would work. However it doesn't, ABRIS looks too narrow.

 

 

Please can someone tell me what aspect ratio or resolution the ABRIS display uses so that I can try to figure out how to replicate that in a 540 tall by 900 wide space on my 2nd monitor?

 

 

Also, is it possible to display ABRIS/SHKVAL on another computer's screen via a network (you can do it in games such as IL2 via UDP and a particular app, although I forget the exact details of how) - I'm thinking of getting a 9" or 10" Android based tablet for ABRIS that I can connect to my network via wifi (or if possible cat5 cable)?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

According to this brochure (http://sigma-plus.kz/uploads/docfiles/abris__fffcbd16a081db8d0ea0ace7bb24c788.pdf) the native resolution is 480x640.

Thanks. I've tried that and it still looks a little narrow compared to what is on the cockpit shown on my primary monitor. I took a screen shot and did a comparison (using photoshop) of 480x640 vs what I see in the cockpit on my primiary monitor and from doing that I've settled on a resolution of 530x640, that seems to look about right on my 2nd monitor compared to what's in the cockpit on my primary monitor.

I get roughly 494x640. Since I use Cougar MFDs which correlate to ~400x400, I have my ABRIS set to 309x400.

Interesting. I think if you compare the size of what's shown in cockpit from a screenshot to a 480x640 area in an editing app such as photoshop you get different results depending on the aspect ratio you've set.

 

I use 16/9 (or 1.7777777778 as I've put it in the config files), but I noticed that if I use the aspect ratio for my combined resolution (2.61111111) the ABRIS shown in the cockpit (and screenshots I think) is narrower.

 

Could be wrong though...
