Hi guysI understand that the Triplehead2go device allows me create an extended field of vision for FS2004. But I was wondering if I were to be interested in extracting only the 90

Sounds like he wants to know how to set up 3 monitors like yours. Must admit, I'd like to know that too!!!

I use a differant approach than Alex Reid uses( differant strokes for differant fokes). I don't like to show aircraft "parts" (window frames etc) in my left and right views. It takes me about 2 minutes to set up the left and right views before each flight. When I line them up correctly, they are aligned perfetly for a 180 degree view on my three 26 inch monitors for a view of over 5 FEET. Alex uses "cotpit views frwd right and left" . I use VERTIUAL cotpit views on all three of my views. Thats just my personal preferance; there is no right or wrong views. I use VC view #1 on the right monitor and VC view #2 on the left monitor and the normal, regular VC view in the center. Some times when I fly a smaller aircraft that has wing views I get flashing on my right monitor. I never could figgure out why. When I fly the Level-D 767 the wings are well aft of my side windows and do not come into view and I never get flashing. I'm going to show you another example but for some reason the forum monitor takes it off fairly quick..... I use the pictures to help explain my point and NOT just to show you something. I thought that was OK to do that? jerrycwo4PS: I added the Garmin 500 GPS to my Level-D 767 panel ( in the upper left hand corner of the CENTER view. About a month ago, someone on this forum said they would like to add this GPS to THEIR panel. I replied that I'd send them the required panel.cfg, but I never heard from them again???

Hi Jerry- I'm puzzled as to how you are able to use Virtual views for left and right monitors. When I use the Hat Switch, it displays virtual views left and right. That leaves views forward left and right missing. That is, there is a 45

Aleix, too bad Tom A. will not leave my pictures on here long enough for it to help me explain my point. I didn't know that it was against the rules now, but I guess it is. I uploaded a photo this morning and now its gone. Anyway I started off by selecting VIEWS at top "toolbar", NEW VIEW and selected VIRTUAL COTPIT and drug it across to my Right Monitor. Then I did the same thing and drug a new view of the VIRUAL COTPIT to my my Left Monitor. Then I did it again and placed a VIRTUAL COTPIT (new view) to my CENTER monitor. I then adjust my views. I move the RIGHT VIRTUAL COTPIT ( on my RIGHT monitor) forward a bit ( with CTRL / Enter) and then move this view RIGHT with CTRL / SHIFT / Enter until the right edge of the aircrafts VIRTUAL COTPIT is in the CENTER of my screen and then with the "hatswitch" I ROTATE the view until the left side of the Right monitor's view is ligned up with the RIGHT side of my CENTER View. (there is a small amount of the right outside part of the aircraft showing in the right side of the VIRTUAL COPIT view). I do the same thing with the view in the LEFT monitor. When I finish I have a CONTINOUS, 180 degree view, 5 feet in length from the edge of my RIGHT monitor to the edge of my LEFT Monitor. It is breath taking !! jerrycwo4

Hi Jerry- thanks for the explanation.--------AVSIM requires that a pic must be no bigger than 1024 x 768 pixels or they remove it. I have a handy/dandy way to reduce pics in "My Pictures" to meet this reqt. Takes all of 10 seconds to do.Ordinary screenshots are way too big for AVSIM.Let me know if you want me to post this little procedure.Alex Reid

Yea, I'd like to see a few shots of that (3) 26" monitor setup. Sounds like what I plan to do. Are you using two video cards in one PC? TH2Go? If so, how are the FPS holding up?Thx,Clutch

I have a one year old computer custom made for me to use THREE monitors by Jetline Computers. It has a factory over clocked CPU of 4.02 GHz and has THREE video cards: ( 512 MB GeForce 9800 GTX), one for each monitor. As you know BIG, FUFFY Cumulas clouds will bring a computer to its knees and weather was a problem for me using 3 monitors, but its not a problem now. I just bought and installed Active Sky 6.5 and run mostly with just a few Cumulas and Cirrus clouds and my FPS range is from about 22-30 in flight which is fine for me. I also am updating almost all of the Major USA airports to Aerosoft's AES and fly the Level-D B-767-300. On three monitors at the major airports at the gate I get about 8 - 12 FPS but as soon as I leave the gate they increase to about 14-18. I have found that each monitor uses about 1/3 of the available FPS. My computer is locked at 45FPS and with 1 monitor that's what I get, 45 FPS. With 2 monitors I get about 22 FPS and with 3 monitors about 12 FPS, BUT after flying with THREE 26" monitors it's impossible to go back to just one ( like I've used for the last 10 years). Aleix Reid gave me the "inspiration" to make the BIG switch. It "ant" cheep ! I have about $10,000 tied up into my new rig, which is fine with me. I dont have payments on a $30,000 car so this is just 1/3 of a new car for me. I'll try again to upload a picture of my new rig, even thought it does NOT have a very good sample of how good flying with 3 monitors CAN look. I'll try to get a better screen shot later. jerrycwo4
