Backglass and DMD display issues

Recommended Posts

Need some help with placement

I have a 3 monitor setup

X = screen-layout.jpg.b9bc4c88ce56f84cf43252db1f52967a.jpg 

Pinball FX2 Cabinet Settings are as follows
DMD
X = 1542
Y = 1236
W= 1000
H = 250

X was calculated as follows
Screen1 [1360] + Screen 2 (*) [182] = 1542
(*) [182] =    1366 divided by 2 = 683 but rounded to an even number..... 682 - 500 (half of the DMD) = 182

Y was calculated as follows
Screen2 [768] + part of Screen 3 (*) [468] = 1236
(*) [468] =    768 - 50 (from bottom) = 718.... - 250 (height of the DMD) = 468

 Backglass
X = 1360 ( to place it on the second screen)
Y = 0
W= 1366
H = 768

***** This works perfect when launching via Pinball FX2

PinballX Settings are as follows

Playfield = Display 1 (rotate 270)

Backglass  ( Display 2)
X = 0
Y = 0
W= 1366
H = 768

DMD  ( Display 3)
X = 182 [from X in PBFX2]
Y = 468 [from Y in PBFX2]
W= 1000
H = 250

***** This works when viewing tables in PinballX / and Attract mode

Problem is when I start a Game the backglass and DMD is not showing correctly....

Any help would be highly appreciated......

Thanks

Yes that is my setup Visual pinball, Future Pinball and Fx2
or are you trying to do what Terryred did... I'm not familiar with that setup at all but it is weird you
can launch FX2 everything works fine but when you launch it through and pinballx it does not...
Are there other features in pinballX that need to be turned on or off So it will not interfere with your setup..

I currently only enabled PBFX2... 1st system.... So I don't know what's wrong
Got the 3rd Screen and might as well make use of it. Will be used for the extended features that future pinball can do... with the video clips, as well as mame...  and might use it for the Jukebox as well... (mostly music videos)
I guess similar to what Terryred did, but different... I want my Playfield to rotate for HyperSpin ....to Landscape.... At first manual but already have a 12V DC motor and an Anduino board to be able to do it automatically...

Are you using the larger backglass feature ?
Are you using any of these tables?
