Default Three monitors

Hello DT

I have a small question regarding the new resolution that will have the simulator. I currently use three monitors of 32 "each. My current resolution is 5760 x 1080. The options menu does not have that resolution. Has a resolution but pretty close to what I need, just that the picture looks pretty bad.



Here you can see the result. I put the two side monitors at 90° of the center monitor and I can be immersed as if within the aircraft cockpit. It is fantastic.























































You can see parts of the cockpit that could never be seen in other resolutions. The feature 3x800x600x32 not be expanded due to limitations of the game, so kindly suggest if you can consider this little feature to be 3x1920x1080x32. The automatic change of the conf.ini file is this:

[window]
width=2400
height=600
.
.
.
Use3Renders=1

If I change these values​​, I lose the characteristic of the three video monitors and just get in the center monitor.

[window]
width=5760
height=1080

I've been using San's IL2 Fov program too, but unfortunately the image on the left and right edges are stretched deforming any object, even the clouds look pretty bad. Not compared with the results I have shown here. I no longer use San's IL2 Fov program.

Thank you

PD: Can you update the P-38 Lightning to have this effect?

Indeed, very nice views!
I've tried to use 3 monitors but I've failed!
I have a 23 inch monitor (center) and two 17 inch monitors (sides). Even if on my card (Nvidia GT430) I have 3 connectors (HDMI, VGA and DVI) when I connected the third monitor I received the message that my videocard can't support 3 monitors!
Any suggestions?
Or do I need a better videocard and nothing else can't be done?

Default The solution to get three working monitors

Hello snake

I had the same problem. The solution? You must buy one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-DVI...488833&sr=8-11

http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-D...8488833&sr=8-3

Remember the cable must be "Active", if you connect a regular cable it will not work.

Hope it helps

It doesn't!
The displayport shown in your link is the connector suitable for Apple Mac. I have a normal PC!

Check again, because mine is a normal PC like yours and my video card is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131474
and is working perfectly. I have a fourth monitor but I use it for TV only.

@P38L: I don't know, how the new feature of 'reading the resolutions out of the system specs' will work with your triple setup - none of us has that - we will want to have your feedback of course.

As about the P-38... it will look better than that in your pic:

Default Three monitors

Hello Sita

Are you using San's IL-2? or what configuration are you using?
