Having an awful time setting up monitors on 2024

Featured Replies

Not sure what's going on.  FS 2020 was a breeze for multi monitor, this new one is not.  I have 3 monitors.  When I try setting the 3 of them up all I get is the exact same image on all 3 monitors.  No left or right side.  Am I missing something?

It might be time to get yourself a VR headset and enter the modern world.😎 

The Crystal Light is the best out there for it's price point.  2024 should be running VR pretty good in the next six months.  In the mean time 2020 looks as good as a 2D display exception being 4k.😉

Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram

I've actually gone back from VR to triple monitors.

VR gives you better *visual* immersion in the *scenery*, but with the triple monitors, apart from being more comfortable I get to use tactile controls so the *physical* immersion in flying the *aircraft* to me is better.

The perfect combination would be VR with passthrough, but there's nothing that does this to the level I want.

No problems getting different images - to me it works just like 2020.

HOWEVER, for some braindead reason Asobo makes dialog boxes fill the whole screen rather than having a band around them, so you can't easily coordinate the image on the side monitors with the central one - it's trial and error to set up 😞  I believe this has already been officially requested as a fix.

What headset were you using?😶

HP G2.

Meta Quest 3 from what I've read has the mixed reality / passthrough but the image quality is a step backwards because they use compression
Pimax Crystal Light has the image quality I want, but is double the  price and I believe its passthrough is fairly crude and mono only.
