Interested in Triple Monitors Setup

Till now I 've flown the B738NGX with the new configuration. In add on sceneries I get 18-19 (no less than that as far as I have noticed) to 25-30 fps depending on the scenery. Of course when I exit the scenery the frames return to more than 40/sec. 

I haven't the required programm to see the VAS usage. Do you have any suggestions?

 

Maybe if I reset some settings in FSX, I'll get better fps inside the add on sceneries, because most of my settings are at the high level...

great setup once again dimitris...you managed anything on having to set up bezel correction every time you go in surround mode....i finally managed my first flight with the three monitor setup and all went fine whilst running fsx on main pc and rex, aivlasoft, vatsim and BAvirtual software on second laptop...still each time i configure bezel....

 

also, most aircraft are setup with ezdok but the LD767 needs some window size adjustment for the fms especially...read in other posts you have to resize this by 1/3  but whatever changes i am making, the fmc still remains pretty out of shape...is anyone using this aircraft and maybe have the correct settings for the fmc window.

 

keep the pictures coming.

Dear emann,

 

thank you for your feedback. With the 6 monitors set up (3 in surround mode) I still haven't found the way to configure the bezel adjustment. I believe (not sure) that I have to disable fisrt the second GPU (with the 3 smaller monitors) and then adjust the bezel correction. But I haven't found the guts to do so yet....hehehe...in fear that I might spoil the present configuration. 

I need an expert to visit me, offer coffee and food, and have him do the job! Hahahaha!! Till then...I will have to live with that bezel unadjusted config. 

 

Cheers

I would not disable the second card at this stage.

It's more likely you will break your Surround setup when you plug it back in.

 

You really just have to go to the Change Resolution section in the nvidia control panel and select the bevel adjusted resolution from the list.

Or right click the desktop and select Screen Resolution from the menu

and set the bevel corrected resolution there instead.

 

If you have not changed anything you will select the 5927x1080 res you mentioned before.

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Process monitor, switch to working set:

You could also setup FSX via FSUIPC to monitor remaining VAS:

when i go to choose screen resolution, i never find the bezel corrected one and this is the procedure if follow:

 

1. screen resolution to set the three monitors extend desktop and middle one as primary monitor

2. nvidia control panel to set 1x3 monitors, identify sequence of monitors, enable surround, bezel correction and finalise resolution.

3. start fsx in windowed mode, options display and choose bezel corrected resolution and then full screen mode and fsx expands on all three monitors

4. upon concluding flight go to nvidia control panel, disable surround which puts back everything to the middle monitor and disables the side monitors.

 

Then once i start a new flight i go over steps 1-4 again for each new fsx startup....

 

So the question is this: is there any way that I can save this layout, profile or what you may call it and just with one click load the three monitor setup with bezel corrected resolution before starting fsx with once click?

 

regards and best wishes.

Dear emann

 

I do not know if you can do it. I am not such an expert, but my feeling says that there is no such a command. I WISH I AM WRONG!!

Personally, I always leave my FSX PC in the configured state, since I have a second PC to do anything else.

Guys!!!

 

 

I have good news! 

 

1) I followed gboz and WotanUK's advises and bevel correction now is there! Right Click on Desktop, Change Resolution, chose the 5967x1080x32 (since this was the higher resolution available after I had done the bevel adjustment). Also changed the resolution from inside FSX.

 

2)After bevel adjustment, I have a little better fps performance, is it plausible?

 

3) Most Important: PMDG support gave me the solution! I had problems undocking the Overhead Panel. I started to believe that I am  just destined not to see my Overhead Panel undocked to a touchscreen. But PMDG sent me a special panel.cfg file, which is made for 3X1 monitors. Ryan (the guy from PMDG) was relactant that this will work, since he knew that I fly with 6 monitors in total. BUT I was lucky!! Now the OVERHEAD PANEL is undocked and placed to the 24" touchscreen, where was meant to be!

 

See pictures please.

ALL TOGETHER 

 

FMC and RADIOS now together

 

 

 

I am so happy! 

 

Project has not ended. The 24" touchscreen (with the Overhead Panel) will be placed upon the 3x32" TVs, on a special mount that I will design, like the real cockpits!! 

After that, only the CPFLight hardwares will remain to complete the project (MCP, EFIS, COM, NAV, ADF, XPDR).

Looking really good there Dimitris.

What sort of frame rates are you getting?

the least I have seen till now is 19-21 fps momentarily in aerosoft thessaloniki X. In fly tampa venizelos airport the frames are more than 25 per sec. Noe is the time to return in international flights and see the response to other airports.
