Show BMS 3D view/Mission on non Primary Monitor
-
Sir
I would like to request support reference how to run Falcon BMS (4.35) 3D view on Non primary monitor?
My primary monitor is a touch screen which I intent to run Helios BMS F16 (ver1.6) profile.For the touchscreen to work it needs to be the primary monitor
Operating System is Windows 10.
Vid card NVIDi 2070
Touchscreen is a Dell P2418.I would like to thank you in advance for your help and support.
All the best.

If I understand you correctly, I did the exact same thing. Run BMS in Windowed mode, and then when the mission starts (on the primary monitor), pause and drag the screen to the secondary monitor. It can be tricky placing it exactly where you want, but once you get it placed correctly, it will remember each time after that.

Thanks for your reply mate. I will give it a go and see if I can get the 3D view on the secondary monitor

Hello to you.
I also have a touch screen with Helios, but to make it work, it doesn’t need to be on the main screen.
FYI I have 3 screens, and I run BMS on the main one. -
1. I’m wondering I do al lot of Helios stuff and never had a single touchscreen monitor that required to be the main monitor. Did you try to setup the touch screen as non main monitor and run the windows touch and pen calibration to tell windows wich of your monitors should act as touchscreen?
3, If you really need to have the touch monitor to be the main monitor the easist way to exactly position the 3d windows on the secondary monitor is run BMS in windowed mode. Once in 3d hit Alt+Space and with the arrow keys select move on the dropdown window that appears. Use CTRL + Arrows to move position your 3d window onto your non main window. use CRLT+ Enter to switch between windowed and borderless mode as

I have not tried to run windows touch and pen calibration as the touch screen works well when its the Primary monitor, however I will try it.
I did manage to get Falcon BMS 3D to run on the large screen by I believe the following:
Large screen set to primary monitor, BMS run in windowed mode, set graphics output in BMS settings to the large screen, after 3D appeared on the large screen I changed the primary monitor in Windows display settings to the touch screen, ended the mission and closed BMS.
Then restarted the BMS application and now the 3D view is linked to the large screen and the touch screen works needed.
Also after the second time I started changed the windowed mode to borderless.Thank you greatly for your information and support.
Now I need to investigate how to get DED, RWR, MFD and the ICP to provide input and output for ICE’s F16 profile.
All the best and thanks again
