ACE I just think those vertical bars would drive me mad! I know a few people use them, but in pics I don't see how you could ignore them.

I thought the triple monitors wasn't working at the moment?

I thought the same thing when I first saw it..

But I dont even notice them anymore..

I think what is going on is my brain has learned to treat the 'monitor frame' the same way it treats the in-game plane 'cockpit frames'

As in if what I want to see (bogie) is being blocked by that 'frame' I simply move my view (head in my case with TIR) until I can see it

Now it seems very natural.. Only if I 'think' about them and look right at them do I notice them

TH2G is transparent to CoD.. to any game really

Even to windows to some extend

My '3' 1280x1024 show up as '1' 3840x1024 monitor to windows

Win7 seven detcts TH2G such that you don't even need to install the MATROX software.. But, at some point you will have to install the MATROX software to config the TH2G device.. but I did that once, a long time ago, and when I upgraded from XP to Win7 I didnt need to reinstall the MATROX software becuse the device config is held on the device

Long story short, as far as Win7 knows I have '1' 3840x1024 monitor

But despite that, in CoD you do not have peripheral vision like IL2FB because CoD does not support it unfortunately :(

I don't know what to say, other than I run CoD at 3840x1024

Ace, does your setup show POV270 on left and POV90 on right or is the display stretched across? Could you/grathos post a photo of your screens with a cockpit view? I'm confused...

Im at work right now, Ill post a pic when I get home..

From memory, while sitting in the spit.. Look forward (12) I can see most of the wing.. but not all the way out to the wing tip like you could in IL-2

But IL-2 was a fudge funky widescreen view.. the wings appears to be swepped foward, and if you tilted yourhead the horizon and plane would bend at the cross over between monitors.. That does not happen in CoD.. In CoD you get a much wider view that looks totally normal

Oh yes it is. Nvidia surround gaming is active as well as ATI. There are vids on here of it in action.

On that note..

Can you tell me if you 'need' two video cards for that? As in each vid card only has two DVI outputs.. thus you need a 2nd card to use one of the DVI outputs for the 3rd monitor

I think some do it by using the HDMI output for a total of 3 using one card?

Anyway.. If you do need two vid cards.. The nice thing about TH2G is you only need one (good) vid card, because TH2G only needs one vid card DVI output to drive all three monitors

TH2G cost around $150 last time I check
