Windowmaker tool updated!

[WildBob53]

Wledzian,

I found the problem. It appears that Prepar3d uses the camera.cfg camera information with the information in the flat file. It was setting the 2d camera as the default instead of VC. I wasn't able to get it to let me choose the VC, but I was able to copy rotation and zoom. Thanks.

How do you disable the virtual cockpit? Everytime I open up the saved .flt it loads up with the NGX VC.

Hi wledzian ,

Look the photo attached and let me know how I can correct that alignment , please note that the windows are aligned (upper part of the window ). Trying to move the eyepoint ( shift+backspace ) of the center window will solve that problem ?

Thanks and regards

Alberto

[wledzian]

No - don't move the eyepoint, that will just introduce more issues. My first guess is that your pitch rotation is incorrect in the left window.

Are the three windows the same size? Are the zoom levels identical? Are the rotations correct?
Please post the zoom, translation, rotation and ScreenUniCoords for each of your windows.

Hi wledzian,

Yes , the three windows have the same size , I have used the Windowmaker considering 135º and 3 views .See below what I am using.

Hi Wledzian,

Thanks for your help , now with your above numbers the views are aligned . Do you have a windowmaker revised ? I used windowmaker 110817.

Regards

Alberto

[wledzian]

Glad to hear the new numbers worked for you.

110817 is the latest released version; that's what I used to get the numbers I posted yesterday. It looks like the calculated values in column C are correct, but they're not carried over to column E. The carry-over only happens when you click "GO", so I suspect that either you didn't click "GO", or you have macros disabled and the button didn't do anything.

[paullu]

Thank you wledzian ! Windowmaker is perfect!

The only problem for me is that it hits performance.

I can only get 13-15 fps in cities. (i5 + HD7870). Maybe the HD7970 will make the 180º 3 monitors (3 x 1920x1200 eyefinity) setting playable.

[wledzian]

If you read back a bit through this thread, there is a way to get rid of the full-screen view hiding behind the others; It's my understanding that this can help with the frame rate issue a little bit.
