Default IL2+Matrox TH2Go+3 widescreens (3x1680x1050) possible?

Recently Matrox anounced two new modes for widescreens 3x1440x900 and 3x1680x1050: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...ic.php?t=14170

I am planning to buy a TripleHead2Go an two monitors.

But some people told me that Il2 has a strange behaviour with widescreens... I have a dell 2005fpw (1680x1050) and I had no problems, although it needs a little of editing in the .ini file. But I need a confirmation of such a high resolution like this (5040x1050) is handled by this sim... (FOV, zoom issues, scaling, etc)

Anyone want to share his experiences????

Thanks

Hi Tama, I use TH2G and have not been able to get IL2 to execute with 5040X1050 yet, but am trying to figure out if it may be a possible driver related problem. See page 2 of this post....................

Oleg could tell us if he had not fallen off the face of the earth? Hello Oleg, you out there? Could you fix this for us please? Or add any input?

I spent all last night trying different drivers,adjusting settings in Nvidia control panel, also tried some custom resolutions.

The highest resolution I could get to work was 4080X768 which looks good and is playable for me, but I was hoping that if we could get 5040x1050 that the 1050 would help the FOV vertical clip problem on wide screen monitors.

So, my conclusion, now that TH2G has offered a higher resolution we know that IL2 is the bottle neck here.

For all I know, Oleg's team might could fix this very easily. Is so frustrating not having anyone who can answer questions. If Oleg said "can't be done" then I would let it go and quit spending time with it. My guess would be that it can be done though, but only by Oleg's team.

There is more of a stir concerning FSX and the new TH2G resolutions. I am thinking that however they get FSX to run the new resolutions, maybe IL2 will work the same.

Have been keeping an eye on on this post...............

One person claims he has enabled FSX to accept 3x1440x900 by rolling back to previous drivers.

tama, I installed FSX last weekend and was able to get the 5040x1050 resolution to work, but when changing views like cockpit to chase view the screen backed out for about 5 seconds each time, so that of course is not good.

I spoke to Matrox, I asked them about FSX and IL2, they say their gaming dept. is looking into it and that they do communicate with the game companies of whom TH2G supports and to keep an eye out for a patch either from them (matrox) or the game publisher.

So, eventually I think FSX will be patched\fixed. But I would say it does not look good for IL2 unless matrox comes up with the fix. I doubt UBISOFT\1CMADDOX will look into it.

The problem is with Direct X, graphic card drivers and the games themselves.

Is over my head, matrox and or 1C would be our only hope.

Give matrox a call, let them know that there is one more person out there wanting it to work with IL2!

Hi Tama, have been out of pocket, had an uninvited guest show up (hurricane IKE) Just now getting back on my feet!

I have digital TH2G and 3-16:10 ratio monitors. The FOV is correct in IL2 when changing the SAVEASPECT to "=1" but the side monitors are not in unison with the center monitor, it is to funky for me! Especially when turning your head using TrackIR, the horizon dips down (or up) not lining up properly.

As far as the 4:3 aspect monitors, I have no idea, I'd want to hear from someone who has them. I did not purchase the 4:3's because I was building for the future. Am still waiting for SOW.

As far as the new TH2G resolutions, no luck yet getting them in IL2, still hoping.
