Dash 8 on Nvidia Surround Triple Screens

Featured Replies

Thinking of putting this on my Birthday list,  has anyone got it running yet on a 3 screen setup with nvidia Surround?  Did you get the spinning cursor problem cycling through views, and if so did Majestic provide an alternative panel.cfg?

Just FYI (because I dealt with solving this in our own products) the issue that causes this is related to full 2D panels, not to VC-only products like the Pilot version Q400. Our J41 has no issues with it because it doesn't have full 2D panels and I suspect the Q400 is the same.

Can you not run the VC on three screens?  I have a triplehead2go so I don't now how the airplane would even know I was running 3 screens.

I have the q400 working on my th2go! Works a treat. Had an issue with the mouse flicker problem but was easily rectified by editing windows00 entry in the panel.cfg file

Could you tell me your cfg tweak? If I select any model apart from the Baltic one, It opens with the black empty view, plus mouse flicker. I deselect the empty view from the view list, but it always comes back when I reload, except the Baltic plane. I took a look at the panel.cfg, but couldn't see anything obvious so left it.

Be nice to load a different model...

I have the Q400 running in surround at 3892x1920 res and it is OK

I usually reduce the res tho to 3321x1600, both these have bezel correfction of course.

i am running it on 24inch screens without any problems. locked @ 30fps.

how are you guys doing this, what are you editing exactly in the panel.cfg for the dash 8?>

 

I am running on 5760 x 1080 and all 3 monitors are black when I try to enter full screen plus mouse flicker.

 

and in windowed mode I cannot stretch it further than the middle screen when I hit maximize. Weird, how do i fix this??

I have it running on triple screen (Nvidia surround) at 5980x1080p and having no issues. To everyone who has mouse flickering issues, open the panel.cfg of the aircraft and set the window size value under [window00] to 0.333 instead of 1.000 (Should be the right section, am at work at the moment so I can't check). At least that let the annoying mouse cursor disappear for me.

 

EDIT: Sorry, exact value is 0.333, 1.000

Another question regarding Q400 and triple screen. 

 

 

I fly with triple +1 screen with Nvidia surround in P3Dv2.3. 3 screens for VC and 1 for 2D panel (FD, MFD,ED).

 

In my system, the default size of those 2D panels are too stretched. Ok I can resize them each time I start up Q400 but it is a bit troublesome. 

 

 

Can anyone advise me how to change the default size of those panels?

Find the correct panels in your panel.cfg (normally it's under [windowxx]), look for the window size value and if using 3 monitors, divide the first number by 3 and replace it. It would look like this: 0.600, 1.000 would have to be replaced by 0.200, 1.000

 

If using 4 monitors, divide by 4. Just try it.

Thanks a lot! I will check it in this evening.
