If you are anything like me and have 2 or more monitors set up but don't want to take the fps hit running a triple head set up those extra monitors feel like a waste just sat there doing nothing while you game from just one.





Well here is the solution when flying the gazelle.........





2nd Sceen as Viviane TV camera









What kind of black magic is this I hear you ask........





Well the answer is fairly simple and can be found on the Eagle Dynamics DCS forums.





But to save you several hours of trawling through posts and trial and error I will attempt to help you out here.





This will work for 2 1920 x 1080 monitors of the same size, I have no idea how it will pan out with different resolutions or monitor size as some tweaking may be required.



(A side note on resolution, you will need to check DCS settings to set the required resolution for your 2 monitors if its not in the drop down menu you can enter it manually, you can see the resolution settings for my 2 1920x1080 monitors in the picture at the bottom)









I Suggest you keep copies of all the original files that we are about to replace incase something doesn't work or you just plain fuck it up, as I cant be responsible for human error and what works for me might not work for you.





First head over to your DCS installation folder which should be somewhere like here......





C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\SA342\Cockpit\TV\Indicator





In this folder you want to replace the init.lua file with this one...





Now head over to here





C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup





And paste this file in...





When you load up your game and go to settings and in the system tab click on monitors, and then down to Camera + TV.





Like so









Now run a mission with the SA342 and test it out.





Good luck
