OverDhill Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well I am sure that is not the case but I plan on using this for 'other' sims like Star Citizen as well as finishing up many of the Freespace 2 Open campaigns. Personally I find it hard to remember thousands of key binds for a few of these sims (let's not even get into a DCS sim). This will let me create a button template with the labels and key binds for any sim I choose to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 15, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted October 15, 2014 how do you get a tablet to work with your pc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 15, 2014 2. Administrators Share Posted October 15, 2014 That's not a tablet Col, just a regular monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yep just an old 19" Samsung hooked up as a second monitor to my Nvidia 660. VirtualCockpit will only work with a second monitor (COD) and UDPSpeed will work also on a second monitor as well as a networked PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverDhill Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wouldn't be the first time that someone's wife would want a word with me for influencing their husband to spend money. LOL And also for Freespace 2 Open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well I reworked my FC3 setup to include the Radar to be extracted to the second monitor. It seems that is the only one that is currently supported in FC3. Wish the would fix the RWR export to second monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverDhill Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Now I need to figure out one last thing. I have the radar displaying on the second monitor along with Helios for gauges. That all works fine with Helios set to be Always on Top. However when I try and bring up the Kneeboard map it doesn't show up. If I turn off Always on Top for Helios then I don't see the gauges but rather just the radar and the rest is black. I presume that DCS is filling the second monitor space with this black. Not sure there is a way to change that. One possible work around might be to have all the gauges on a panel that can be programmatically hidden when the kneeboard is brought up. I will try that. Update: That works great. I toggle the kneeboard and the gauges hide. Now to fix the position of the kneeboard. Anyone play around with any of the kneeboard MODs I see. Most are for older DCS World versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yea, I have one I made to use with JSGME. Edit this file: Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua Edit these lines (about line 29-30) to move and resize the kneeboard. Here's my edit: -- ----- MOVE & RESIZE THE KNEEBOARD ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- ORIGINAL CODE: dedicated_viewport = {default_x,default_y,default_width,default_height} dedicated_viewport = {1342,10,562,750} -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have only tested this with the Mig21bis. I made my own kneeboard pages on the startup sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks... worked like a champ after ajusting to my monitor setup.I will look into any F15C kneeboard MODs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I was thinking of making my own kneeboard paged for Cliffs of Dover. Just need to find detailed maps and base information, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Well I decided to create some help screens (sorta like a kneeboard) for my 19" monitor that can pop up full screen with a push of a button on my throttle. Here is the first one which I got off the ATAG site and modified it to show landmarks. I will look for more possible ones and then tackle the other coast line on another map.

OverDhill Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I finally had some time to look into VirtualCockpit and make some changes for the Spitfire profile I downloaded. I added some things and moved some things around. I will try this for awhile Slightly Modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptJackG Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A suggestion...leave airspeed to the left of the artificial horizon and put the altimeter to the right. Then the rate of climb directly below the altimeter with the DG below the horizon. You have the basic T in a standard instrument panel. Usually the RMI went directly below the airspeed indicator.

OverDhill Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Well I did not create the gauges and the Altimeter does not like to be placed at the top of the screen. But thanks for the suggestion. I will keep looking into it and maybe one day I can figure out how to make them. Also I check the Spitfire VirtualCockpit screen against the cockpit in the game and the IAS, Artificial Horizon, Variometer, Altimeter, Directional Gyro, Slip and Turn, RPM, Boost and Magnetic Compass are relatively in the correct positions. Some of the smaller objects are not due to screen space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Here is the 110 C7 Virtual Cockpit screen. It has most functions displayed. Was flying this plane with a few of the Dogz tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverDhill Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well here is the latest addition to my pit. A pair of Thrustmaster MFD's. They work well for the A-10 and soon for the Flaming Cliffs 3 F15C (left side). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
