ATS/ETS2 Screen configs for Single, Dual, Triple or Quad screen setups.

@Wifiik - Glad that fixed it.

It can happen in any truck when your FOV/head/seat/mirror position isn't within the required parameters to display it correctly, but its rare.
When inside the truck the exterior of your truck isn't drawn, for performance reasons, and so the mirror has to render a scene that is different to what it looks like when outside, so it switches the truck exterior on/off as required, in the mirror when you are looking at it. This is probably an optimisation to prevent constantly calculating the mirrors with extra info when you are not looking at them.
Example: This is cam 1 when moved outside via extended TrackIR movement, showing no truck exterior.

So there may be a slight performance hit by disabling g_baked_vehicle, but I think your system won't even notice...

luckily for you I had the same issue when play testing this 'mirror adjustment mode' created back in August. The issue was caused when adjusting the mirrors far beyond what you can normally do via F4, but easily fixed... now.

Since snowymoon over at SCSSoft Forum has made his TAA implementation compatible with multimonitor support, I prefer that method over the NPI Profile method I used before.
But the TAA implementation doesn't work with multimon mode 4 unfortunately.. only with multimon mode 2 .. but than my multimon_config.sii file doesn't get recognized and my proper FOV and alignment are screwed.

Is there any way to get this working with multimon mode 2?

Hi, I'm wondering how you guys are dealing with making screenshots. As I'm using multimon 4 to get the most accurate fov making screenshots has forced me to not only use lower graphics, but accept that I have to manually crop off the side monitors because they are misaligned and distorted when projected in one image. Is it possible to swap between multimons when making screenshots or somehow still allow me to make beautiful screenshots which I've always enjoyed doing before moving to triples.

@oli4004 - I have no real interest in taking pictures of trucks... just like pretending to drive them!

But to answer your question, the only way I can think of is:

r_multimon_mode 4 <-- normal driving.

Use the console to make changes.
r_multimon_mode 0 <-- when you want to take a pic, but you'll need to force a reload (Or use 2 and set fov etc within your config.cfg).
Goto graphic options and change scaling from whatever it is to another value and click apply then change scaling back to your previous value and click apply... that will force a reload of your driving screen and you'll see the difference and then take your pic.

Change back to 4 and force the reload again...

Perhaps there's a better way?
r_multimon_mode 0 and then change game resolution to single screen.
Take pic.
r_multimon_mode 4 and then change game resolution back to triple screen?

I know multi screen users have requested, for years, that screenshots be auto cropped as if single screen because you can't upload them to the online WOT thing... I think.


Bit of extra info, if you didn't know this already.
You can have multiple multimon files, but the game will only load the one called multimon_config.sii
Console command - multimon reload - reloads that file.
So you'd then have to rename your files so the game loaded the one you want.

But SCS could have used something like - multimon reload "screen setup1" - for example, but they didn't.
Then you could have swapped back and forth a bit easier...
