wow Oleg, you "made my week" if you have included this already in BoB !
to make sure i havnt misunderstood you, you are confirming we will be able to use in BoB at the same time:
1) a central widescreen lcd monitor (for ex a 22', 25' or 27' lcd monitor)
2) together with two smaller size lcd's at the same time on each side next to it, to increase our peripheral vision, and those extra monitors could be a smaller size, like 17' or 19' lcd's for example in landscape mode ?
3) we will be able to use the BoB 3 monitor "mixed size lcd" setup without needing to use a matrox 3H2go unit or a software program like ultramon or soft3H
note 1: this is probably needing some different programming compared to what is needed for using 3x the exact same monitor size, like some other games allow 3x the same 22', or 3x the same 25' lcd's (some current games that allow 3x monitors do not allow a mix of monitor sizes)
note 2: if in BoB we then use for ex a central 24 or 27' (resolution 1920 x 1200 = 2.304.000 pixels) with a 19' lcd in landscape mode on each side (resolution 1280 x 1024 = 1.310.720 pixels, but for both 19' lcd used this is x 2 so = 2.621.440 pixels)
- then our pc grafix card gpu's will in this setup "only" need to push 2.304.000 pixels (for the 24' lcd) + 2.621.440 pixels (for the two 19' lcd's in landscape mode) = 4.925.440 pixels in total ? (and not 3x 2.304.000 pixels = 6.912.000 pixels as you would need for 3x 24' lcd's)
it is much cheaper for us to be able to mix monitor sizes like that (because we can use older cheap lcd's which many of us already have), and our grafix cards do not need to be ultra powerfull and ultra expensive (pushing 4.925.440 pixels in my earlier example is MUCH easier/cheaper then pushing 6.912.000 pixels).
this means we can get 50% wider field of view and MUCH better peripheral vision in BoB, yet only need to push 2x the pixels (instead of 3x the pixels when you use 3x the same widescreen lcd)
many many thanks for including this oleg, this will make using BoB as a true simulator MUCH better for many of us. having good peripheral vision is very important, and doing it in a cheaper smart way like this will make it now possible for many of us !! (instead of only a few very rich people with an ultra expensive 3x 30' type setup)
