Just use the View groups feature to get 3 connected views .

It is free.

 

I have 2 extra undocked views and all 3 are perfectly alligned together.

 

 

Agree, I am doing the same with 2 undocked side views (hardware is 2 x GTX980Ti, now in SLI). Never been better. Setup was a matter of minutes.

 

I used this to set up: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119668

@Robert

 

Indeed ViewGroups is very simple to setup and it does not take hours, just minutes.

 

Both the FlyElise way as my way are not flawless as you need a zoom of 1.00 or higher to have straight building lines from left to right.

I use 0.80 and FlyElise a lower zoom.

From a short distance the "distortion" can be seen in your vid too, as also in mine.

 

My way, without using Viewgroups is also very easy to setup.

Just try it , so you can compare the FlyElise way with my way.

 

You will be surprised how good it will look....

Thanks.  I can only say it was painful when I tried it before, and for me, I'm satisfied with FlyElise.  I acknowledge there may be other ways (possibly free) that work as well or maybe even better.  I can only share what 'worked for me' and did so faster than I ever imagined.  It was literally a cakewalk.  Best of all, their support is speedy and concise and no charge.  Their software is free for 30 days, so you can fly before you buy

 

Cheers.

Robert ,the most important is that you are satisfied..

Enjoy your setup

I don't think flying in VC is going to work on triple monitors.  Maybe Chas or someone else could comment?

 

WHAAAAT!

 

Hmmm! So, how do you see the aircraft panels for PMDG aircrafts?

 

I have another Question, Could we use multiple monitor of different size and resolutions?

 

I currently have 3 Dell 24 X 3 (6000 x 1200) surround. Could I replace my middle monitor with a 34" curved monitor and still use the 2 24" monitor for the sides?

That isn't a concern for him. He is flying with Sim-Avionics which is an Avionics package for cockpit builders. It includes all the systems and logic of the 737. He doesn't have or need a VC, he has all the gear. He just wants the out the window view, which is what this software was made for. 

I checked with Elise and they said it works in VC.

Their LCD Designer Pro will calculate the asynchronous frustrums (camera views) requiring nothing more than precise metric dimensions of the display screen area, plus precise measurements of the bezels (upper, lower, left and right).

 

Robert,

I see no reference to LCD Designer Pro on the site, yet a Google search for same yields https://fly.elise-ng.net/index.php/news/77-news-immersivedisplaypro10r1 ...go figger!

 

Cheers,

You can use the 2D cockpit without instruments to have only the outside views,

Like I wrote on page 1.

 

Btw , I use 1x 40" icw 2x 32"..

here's my latest video effort, with killer de-interlacing (finally got rid of the stupid rolling bars caused by frame rate mismatch between cell cam and LCD monitors)

Looks a lot better.

Thank you, yes, it is finally what I actually see when I fly the sim! Thanks to Fly Elise-NG. The 2 products needed are LCD Designer Pro and Immersive Display Pro. The LCD product is free, and IDP is $169 USD. Best $ I -ever- spent, took me about 2 seconds to set up my 3 camera views in Prepar3D. I highly recommend it! Their support is great too! You do NOT use NV Surround View when you are using IDP- and it does best in Prepar3D v.3.3.5 or higher. It about drove me nuts trying to figure out the camera definition files manually. If you can run a metric tape measure, you simply measure all the bezels and the vertical and horizontal glass areas of your monitor, and enter the angle offset you want (I set up 60 degrees on each side monitor) and Bob's Your Relative! Finally I bought a digital protractor on A***** (Jungle River) to ensure I had the exact angles I wanted. CAKE! The big takeaway here is FAST FAST FAST camera view config files auto-creation by the Fly Elise software. YES, you could play rocket scientist and create them yourself. However if you'd rather fly than tear your hair out this is a great alternative!

Well Robert, I'm glad it worked for you. I spent two days trying to get this set up and finally gave up.

 

Fast, fast, fast never entered the picture.

 

Beau over at LM gave me a workable solution that was fast, fast, fast.

 

I used 10 degree angles on my three Dell 27 UltraSharps (2560 x 1440) which is almost flat which is what makes this work. I go into windowed mode, stretch that image across the three monitors and Alt + Enter into full screen. With wide aspect checked, all those runway lines and jetways line up. It's remarkable. The only distortion on the outside monitors for me is flying at altitude. On the ground at FSDT and Orbx airports, inside the cockpit, it virtually unnoticeable. 

 

Now with your 60 degree setup, this won't work. The closer to flat, the better.

 

Totally works for me and only took 15 minutes.

 

Cheers,

Mark

This is the exact setup Im looking to implement.  I want 3 monitors as undistorted as possible and pushing 60 degrees.  

 

My question is... Im running a i74990k at 4.7 (over clocked) and a GTX 970.

Im getting ready to replace the card and had planned on at GTX 1080 probably the EVGA FTW.

Will a single 1080 handle this setup or do I need to spend the extra on a Titan XP?

 

Thanks

Bob

Hi Bob-

 

My way won't work with the angle you're after and I still have some distortion as I mentioned.

 

Depending on how computer adept you are, there's a View Groups tutorial over at LM that you might be interested in that allows you to set up the three no distortion views you're looking for.

 

I'm running a Titan so I don't have any problem at all. Running three views, you're going to take a hit whatever card you're running.

 

Cheers,

Mark
