wildbillkelsoe Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Is it possible? What I want to do is to have the inside of turret view on one monitor, while F5 map runs on a separate monitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 24, 2017 Members Share Posted November 24, 2017 Disclaimer: This is not an officially supported solution (crashes may occur in rare cases). But what you can do is to start two instances of Steel Beasts, set up a network session where the second instance is put into the observer position of your own (or an entirely different) vehicle, then you switch it to the map view, and play with the other window on the other monitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbillkelsoe Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Nils, so its a networked solution on the same machine? how about two computers? A laptop for F5 map would work assuming it can run SB, right? Would it also work as an instructor station for failures? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Alfa Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 It has been done, however it was a few versions ago. What we did , was use a laptop slaved to a projector for the F5 view in a command post setting, rest of the PC's running in user (F8/&/9/) modes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolf Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 What Ssnake said. I do this quite often, especially when designing new scenarios. Very simple proceedure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens198 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I use my iPad pro 12.9 with iDisplay (free app) to display the 2nd SB session on my iPad. Works fine for me. Jens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the other ipad you move the screen of second instance to the extended desktop iDisplay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens198 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 You have to download the app on the iPad and a special driver for the app from the developer's website. Once everything is installed you can "expand" your monitor on the iPad. Then you start SB session 1 (windowed mode), move this session on the iPad part of the screen, start session 2 of SB. Start a multiplayer session in SB an connect session 1+2. Volia, you have two SB sessions on your computer (and you can use session 1 for the map view, arty observer or whatever).

Session 1: Start a Network session as "Host" and select the scenario. Session 2: Launch the software again. Start a Network session and connect as a Client using the IP address 127.0.0.1 (to simplify things, this is the internal IP address of your computer) Start the Mission in Session 1. The two instances of the software will be running the same mission, within the various limitations already outlined above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Alfa Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 No problem, we are here to help. In online MP sessions one can see a player's name twice, one has a (Map/F5) thats the player running as stated above for a separate map view while playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejawolf Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) you can print the map for the authentic pre-2000s map feeling. Edited December 5, 2017 by dejawolf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you have ipad get Concepts and splice the screenshots together and even stretch them over your native resolution, lock layer, create new one and start pinching and writing with finger. You have marker, ball point, various brushes and of course the linear measurement tool. You can use a png compass rose to get your bearings too. Double ultra realism. I use it with DCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
