Problem with 3 monitor setup

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I have just installed FSX onto my 3 monitor computer and I appear to be having problems. Basically, the I only get reasonable clarity in the graphics in the direction I am looking in the game. When looking straight ahead, the central monitor is clear, but the two side monitors are distorted and blurry. This is a real pain! If I then pan the view to look out the right hand side, the right hand side sharpens up, and the central monitor is distorted.

 

You can see the effect here for the left hand view (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B51ObOlQls5sOVg3Vmt2R1VQU1E/edit?usp=sharing), here for the central view http://(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B51ObOlQls5sUG5CZEdKcl82WFE/edit?usp=sharing) and here for the right hand view (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B51ObOlQls5sN3lvV1o0NTlmekk/edit?usp=sharing)

 

The computer is a hex core i7, with an nVidia GTX670 card.

 

I'm sure there is some config setting which can help here, although I have no idea which they are. If anyone can help or provide advice on how to get FSX behaving (I kind of hoped it would *just work*!), I would very much appreciate any help.

 

Many thanks,

Set your zoom level to 1.0 Thats the best you can do to reduce the fish eye effect. Unless you have a projection setup with warping software there's not much elses you can do.

 

If you aren't using a Track IR and don't pan around you could also setup 3 separate views and  align the cameras perfect in each. 

 

Also make sure you have this in your fsx.cfg

yea, there isnt much you can do about the streching fish eye effect =( I hated it at first too but eventually got used to it. im sure you will too. Also dont forget to resize your 2d panels or you will get the spinning circle issue. If you need a help with that, send me a PM. Good luck!

Here I have a triple monitor setup and don't use Wideview=True...

 

First I zoom out with -  and then extra by moving the eyepoint backwards in the cockpit.

I have three monitors also But I don´t get the distortion you show on the side monitors...have you checked that your "resolution" on the game is equal to what you have set for the monitors in your Nvidia Panel???....zoom level is also very important.

 

Many thanks,

 

Seems to be something wrong with your aspect ratio.

Those screen shots are far too wide for their height assuming you are using 16:9 monitors and you are showing the full screen.

Thanks for the tip...this seems to improve things

Yep...5760x1080 in the nVidia panel, same in the windows screen settings, same in the game.

 

 

zoom level is also very important.

As detailed above, I make sure the zoom level is at one, then bring the eye point backwards

 

Still no joy. Still getting this warping of the image in the periphery. Sounds like some people get it and some don't which is most strange
