Wideview setup problem

Recommended Posts

Five (5) monitors spanning 180 for outside views and 2 PCs.  

The center monitor (straight ahead) is for the MSFS 2020 server (i7-4790K, RTX-2080 GPU).

The other four (4) monitors are for the remaining (-90, -45, +45, +90 degrees) outside views (i7-9700K, RTX-3080Ti GPU).

The LAN seems to handle the data traffic just fine (PCs using Ethernet cables through a managed switch).

The problem is the inability to setup the displays for all four monitors oriented in their correct orientations.

I understand Wideview manual to say i need to edit the camera.cfg on the client PC for [CAMERADEFINITION.0], which I did for the +45 degree view.

That seems to work fine, as does the +90 degree view.  The problem is with the two left (-45 and -90 degrees) views.  The -45 is almost okay but the -90 is nowhere close.

I'm guessing the problem stems from trying to get a -90 degree view from a "camera" pointing 45 degrees to the right.  Yes?

Is there a viable solution to this problem, with 2 PCs?  

Thanks.

I've concluded that my earlier suspicion is correct. I put the -90, -45, and straight ahead on one camera facing -45.  That works.

I put the +45 and +90 on a second camera facing +45.  That works too.

I still have some tweaking to get it perfect, but it's close now.
