Problems with wide screen view and Go-flight with FSX

Recommended Posts

I swear FSX is just like a real airplane. For every hour you fly, you spend four hours fixing it. I have been struggling all weekend on two separate issues. Maybe you guys can help with them?I use Track IR with a Matrox TH2Go and three 19" Samsung monitors. A great set up. One that I highly recommend. Wonderful emersion. I have both FS9 & FSX installed and up into SP1 I had been flying only FS9. However both sims are set up the same. Now that SP1 is out and my frame rates are in the high teens to low twenties I can fly FSX. The past week or so I had been using FSX and purchased the Real Air SF 260 which I really enjoy flying. Well, come Saturday morning FSX no longer works wide screen (across all three monitors) in full screen. It only fills the middle monitor. If I go out of full screen and drag the screen, I can fill all three monitors that way. However, when I do so FSX runs slower. This morning, I installed UTX-USA and it runs way to slow in non-full screen mode.I have checked the FSX cfg. All display settings are for 3840X1024X32 and it shows my nvidia 7900 card. FS9 works fine. I compared the two cfgs and the Display settings of the FSX match those in FS9, so far as display mode goes. Matrox no longer has their forums, so I can ask there.My second problem is with FSX and my Go-Flight modules. Ever since SP1 they no longer work. I haven

John et al - Yeah, I just loaded my FS9 saved config under the FSX tab in the GoFlight Config applet and that got them working, the software start-up message, etc. Still no luck with the standard MCP though......tweak, tweak, tweak....Regards,http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD
