Gents,

I am not a fan of discords but I feel forum are dying and being replaced all over the place with Discord servers.
The issue is that nowadays the information is scattered all over multiple discords servers and there is no specific place to discuss cockpit building. And the later we try to organise this, the more difficult it will be.
I'd like to step up and start creating such a discord server and try with your help to make it successful and useful for our needs

I don't think the structure of a discord will ever replace a forum, but discords offers many extra advantages we are missing from this forum
I do not want this discord to replace VP but to expand the capabilities of Viperpit mostly for F-16 cockpits but also for other airframes which deserve their own cockpit builder structures

So the prototype discord server is created and currently only advertized here for now
It's totally open for suggestion from VP members and anyone seeing the invite below is free to join and bring his stone to the project

Let's make it what we want of it

Click this link to join the CombatSim Cockpits discord server
https://discord.gg/grdhjnQRu5

And all your comments are welcome

Hey there,

Just landed here and want to say hello to all of you! Recently picked up flight sim again but this time with jets. I use to fly ww2 warbirds.
I'm currently designing and building a deskpit for the F-16, and I was wondering where I could share the progress, if anyone is interested.
It's not 1:1 but it's for VR use and easy to print and very small footprint.

Best regards,

Chris

How to enable extracted Displays in VR ?

Well since the resolution once switching to VR becomes irrelevant, many setups lose their extracted displays in VR
Not really an issue many would say since once you have the VR ehadset on your eyes you can't see your pit anymore

Well yes indeed, unless you use passthrough

There are a few added lines to be added to the multi monitor LUA files to ensure that the displays are extracted when using VR:

In short:

1. you need to add a viewport in your lua file:

VR_MIRROR = {
 x = 0,
 y = 0,
 width = 1920,
 height = 1080,
 }

2. and you also need to add this line in the same file at the end:

VR_allow_MFD_out_of_HMD = true

So my file to extract both MFDs, RWR and EHSI in VR became:
Code: [Select]
_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('F-16_VR');
Description = 'Five monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 0;
          y = 0;
          width = 3440;
          height = 1440;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = 2.388889;
     }
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
     x = 3515;
     y = 0;
     width = 500;
     height = 500;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
     x = 4140;
     y = 0;
     width = 500;
     height = 500;
}


EHSI =
{
     x = 3674;
     y = 1225;
     width = 270;
     height = 270;
}

F_16C_RWR =
{
     x = 4210;
     y = 500;
     width = 768;
     height = 768;
}

VR_MIRROR = {
 x = 0,
 y = 0,
 width = 1920,
 height = 1080,
 }


UIMainView = Viewports.Center
GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

VR_allow_MFD_out_of_HMD = true

Yeah, and the good news is that the above setting to solve the extracted displays  brightness - unlike the Reshade effects applied to the DCS screen - are still working in VR

So this remains perfectly valid for fixing that issue in a VR cockpit
