Problems with 3 monitors Nvidia Surround

Recommended Posts

I'm using Nvidia Surround, three 24" Asus monitors, changed fsx.cfg wideviewaspect to "true", reduced window to 0.333 (it fixed a problem with a flickering cursor) but I still have a huge panel spreading over the three monitors. Zooming out doesn't help at all (all panels are huge;the  overhead panel spreads all over the three monitors!). I don't know what else could I do and wonder if PMDG has a fix for Nvidia Surround as they have for Eyefinity. Maybe I have to play with the panel.cfg but don't know how. I'd really be thankful if someone could help me with this b/c I exhausted my options.Thanks!

Hi! After changing the fsx.cfg file ( wideaspectview to "true"); window aspect to 0.333; changed resolution on FSX, I still have huge panels spread over the three 24" Asus monitors running Nvidia Surround. I guess that maybe the problem can be fixed on the panel.cfg file but I don't know how. I believe PMDG created a fiex for Eyefinity, and wonder if also to Nvidia Surround! I'd appreciate any help and thank you in advance.

I have the same settings as you. No problem. Now I'm not in front of my computer, but I can find my configuration and post here.

Thank you all. Yes, I did all the changes ("wideviewaspect=true"  and "window_size= 0.333, 1.000") and stil the huge panels. I have Nvidia Surround set for landscape and resolution 5760 x 1080...same in FSX)!!! Did not resize or downscale anything else. Wonder if I have to make changes in the panel.cfg file?!.

Sorry Angelo. Since I washaving problems with uploadingmy new topic I ended up having to with the same subject (check the first one on the main page). Regarding your question, I believe it makesa difference depending if you wise wide or 4.3 panels.

These are my settings:

FSX.CFG

wideviewAspect = True
ForceWindowedvsync = 0 (This is because I use pseudo) for full screen

"window_size = 1.000, 1.000"

 

Resolution: 5760x1080x32

Elee, I changed the window size to correct a flickering cursor (it did correct). Would you mind to email me your panel.cfg?!

Did you place a ticket with Pmdg? if not go ahead and do so I know they have a fix for this, I've download it. I think its was from Dave but for me it was just for the large Panels.

Give it a try.

It doesn't always work to just use .33, 1.0 sometimes you have to hand tweak the values, anyways here's the configs for the NGX that they gave me a few years ago.

You'll want to use the panel_wide-eyefinity 3x1 one and rename it to panel.cfg of course, back up your files first

 

If  you want to edit some default aircraft this is always a good resource:
