Solved In Flight Menu location (menu.dat) change?
-
I want to move my 3D in-flight menu to the top right of my center screen to be more visible but I see that in “menu.dat” in \Data\Art\CkpArt (and also for each add-on theater) there is no listing for my triple 2560x1440 screens at 7680x1440 but in BMS Graphics settings it is correct.
The “1440” lines showing in menu.dat are:
#resolution 2560 1440 130 2240 380 2550
#resolution 3440 1440 130 3120 380 3430
#resolution 3840 2160 130 3520 380 3830
#resolution 4096 2160 130 3776 380 4086
#resolution 11520 2160 130 11200 380 11510It was suggested I add a line for 7680 x 1440, is this the proper way to accomplish what I want?

Snake122 and Oak - I added the line (per instructions in menu.dat, in order of height) as shown in red;
#resolution 5760 1200 130 5440 380 5750
#resolution 2560 1440 130 2240 380 2550
#resolution 3440 1440 130 3120 380 3430
#resolution 7860 1440 130 2760 380 3070I noticed in your example the offset for “(x) - Window right” was only 110 vs. 310 in the file so I used the 310. My 1st attempt is in the pic, I will move it to the top right of my center monitor now that I see it works fine. Thanks!

Known bug, work around here, need to still edit as if 1024x768 apparently:

@snake122 what your referencing is for font size not for positioning of the menus as requested in question by the OP

Good point OD @icer have you tried either as a new line or an edit of current line of something around:
#resolution 7860 1440 130 2760 380 2870 -

#resolution 7860 1440 130 2760 380 2870I have not done anything as of yet, assumed there have been many BTDT here and rather use someone else’s work if possible. I will play around with it and see if my solution works but the thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that my resolution is a choice in the Graphics settings but is not listed here, likely just one of those items from the past that have not been bothered with?

@icer The options in the setup screen are simple not a fixed values defined somewhere in the code or in a BMS configuration file but read from your GPU driver and therefore dynamic.
Menu.dat is a fixed hardcoded file and not generated somehow magic depending on your available screen resolutuions and might not reflect any possible reslution setup available on a give system. -
@icer I have played with it for standard 4k. The resolutions I don’t think auto populated into the menu.dat once you get non-standard resolutions. I think the BMS crew was trying to cover as many bases as possible manually. The graphics settings drop down seems to be tied to your Windows list of supported resolutions because playing around with VR I’ve created some weird resolutions and they are not listed in the menu.dat.
