ok..thanks everybody!

Opus says: We strongly recommend the use of 3rd party packages such as FEX for their sky and cloud textures, or HDEv2 (freeware) for clouds with the sky upgraded by Danny Glover. REX is not mentioned, is there any reason I should choose FEX instead of REX(already own) I want to use Opus on 3 pc's with livecamera and weather synchonized across 7x 27" screens Do opus and FEX have advantages like automatically load new textures on all pc's instead of when using Opus with REX you probably do that manually ? Or is there no reason.... Also, If i install REX and want to change to FEX is there any "polutted FSX" because of those textures/incompatibility ? Remco

I am also interested in this!

thanks for all the responses....what prevents me movingthe frame ? well my girlfriend actually....Also then the overheadpanel will be about 1 meter out of reach because of that if I would put the monotor IN FRONT of the frame (angle down)I prefer to have only one full screen window (3x27" on TH2GO) of my main pc so I can archive high FPS with all eyecandy on. I did some test in the past and framerates dropped dramatically when having two screen connected 3D to 2 outputs.I think that the following solution is perfect for me: what do you guys think ? yes I need 2 more pc's but the result seems spectacular ? I just spoke this evening to a timberman? (correct word) and we can build something like the video WITHOUT the stupid middlebarCurrently I have my 3x27" running all on 1920 x1080. I know it can be a problem because my friend was unable to archieve same resolution.Nicepicture JasonHarris!Someone else wrote me that 2 is really a bad idea: he wrote"Never 2 will be better than three. With two, your visuals make a strange effect, and the runaway will be always hide in the middle wherever you move your display. Different sizes for each are not good option, this make you visual with different sizes if you keep the resolution or different in pixel display if you change the resolution to keep the image size."At the moment I prefer the solution as in the youtube video. What do you guys think about that for my problem ?

about EUR 25.000 I am just building one....only no cockpit shell rest high class.www.oncealoft.com where I bought my boeing 737 seats....they are on their way to EHAM!

Hello,I am building a cockpit full scale 1:1 2 persons. Now I have 3x 27" monitor on triplehead2go but because I have a iron construction for the overhead panel i cannot see about 8" of the middle monitor because it blocks my view....no runway....too bad. Looking for a good solution for that. 3x projectors are not option because of space and construction problems.1) would 3x hdtv work on Matrox triplehead to go on 3x 1920x1080 ?2) will there be any difference in quality compared to a monitor ?3) What size and number of screen would be suitable ? 3x 37" 3x 43" 3x 55" I will be sitting with my eyes about 3feet(1meter) away from the screens. (2 person cockpit, so each person will see:3 screen: captain left of middle screen fo: right of middle screen runway: middle of middle screen.2 screen: captain middle of left screen fo: middle of right screen runway: big in middle (more big then with 3x 27" because everything will become bigger)4) will 2x 55" be better then 3x 37" ? because of reality feeling ? (3x 55" wont fit...)5) I know for nvidia surround or 3d vision surround gaming I need two GTX580. If I am correct there are still problems with nvidia surround and FSX?6) 3D will possible not really work satisfactory : with 2 or 3 screens (different angles, and a captain and f/o both with glasses right ? I think I have to forget about that....too much possible issues. agree? Also 1080P x 3 D will be big issue because you need 120Hz and special checkboard mode on tv.7) any other advise ? will try to post some pics tommorowThanks for thinking with me...Remco

same story here 2D or 3D...see my thread at: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/343551-1x-30-vc-or-multimonitor-with-2d-panels/page__fromsearch__1

Ok....wondering what the opinion is here... Thinking about 1 of these setups: 1)1x 30" 2560 x 1600 with VC pmdg only or 2) 3x 24 (1980x1080)TH2GO for outside viewand 2x 22" for 2D panel (without throttle quadrant!!!) PMDG 2D or Promsim737 networked Currently I have 3x 22" outside view and 3x 19" instruments running with Prosim737 networked. Most important instruments are available but a 2D panel of airplane is not. Because I am going to live temporary somewhere else and new release of PMDG I am rethinking this setup. I would like to follow AoA traning with NGX but only If I am convinced of "best" setup. Already got some tips by Private Message but wondering what general opinion is..... with 30" I would almost have 50% more vertical pixels then with setup 2 but will I miss the wide view ?? Offcourse I can always use HUD when landing...great feature.... Please supply your thoughts and specifically people who have dealt with same decisions....it all comes down what someone wants...can pay....and what hassle you are looking for... Attached a picture of setup 2 with prosim737

Ok, I was running Prosim737 networked and now tried PMDG NGX. First I tried: Main pc with gtx580 and th2go with 3x 22" then i put in additional gtx460 gpu NO SLI 2x 19" screen So outside view on 3x22" at triplehead2go on 5040x1080 and some intruments on 2 19" screen...decent FPS! Anyone else doing this ? Pitty that there is no 2D THrottlequadrant... Anyone tried with more monitors already ? Maybe gonne attache 10" touchscreen by USB...wondering what that will do with performance...

which samsung monitors do you have Ron ? looking to buy the same....

yes, he did

I am a bit jaleous to FlyingFred ;-) ....he beats 5ghz pc's at 4.4! Very interesting to know if the 3GB GTX580 or the Vertrex 3 or both cause this. I know he did the test 100% to the manual because I personally know him.....he boots Windows from Velocitiraptor and FSX is on seperate SSD

Revodrive was causing the problem. just sold the !^@&*#^*!@#*& thing.with revodrivessd raid0 min 25 max 42 avg 35with 7200rpmdisk min 28 max 61 avg 45,4both with same fsxmarkimage and 5ghz!Thank guys for developing the benchmark!! Now I was able to determine my eur3000,- pc was not performing like it should! and switched from eur500 ssd to eur45 conventional 7200rpm hahahah 30% more performance and got 300 eur for the revodrive that i am gonna use for a nice dinner!!!I did today 10 time reimaging my pc for testing.....and all with same results!

did everything according manual....today I bought a conventional drive 1tb 7200rpm in stead of revodrivex2 240ssd.... did a clean fsxmarkimage on this drive...and removed revodrivemy avg frames went up from 35fps avg to 45 avg! did 4 testruns! HAPPY!! No I just rebooted windows and am doing a second test to see if it sticks......will post resuts afterwards...strange revodrive is very expensive and 4x55gb in raid5solution......uberfast....maybe not so good for fsx....

this is my score....i am having low fsxmark11 scoresee: http://forum.avsim.n...1/page__st__175now having 1600 9-9-9Could this possibly be due to memory Kaydub?

yep I did! I only asked about SDK in my previous post. I installed accoding to NickN installation instructions.Very strange i cannot get past 36fps with this expensive machine.....Are there any people with Thriple head to go in the spreaksheet ? Allthough it is still configured to 1650x1080x32 i dont know if there is no impact at all.....Maybe try to disconnect and see if I notice any difference... (hope not!) edit: no change with or without TH2GO connected

yep I did!

strange little difference between ht 3.5 ghz on 5.0 non ht fresh install but with sdk!

Hi,just running this benchmark but some questions:NickN advises: in installation manual of FSX:http://www.simforums.com/forums/setting-up-fsx-and-how-to-tune-it_topic29041.htmlVcrestributabledirexctxupdateand what about installation of sdk ?i installed:fsx, sdk, fsx sp1, sdk sp1, fsx sp2, sdk sp2. All in between; default flight run, reboot.running now benchmarks first at 3500mhz and will then do at 5000 mhz......will be back with results.....exiting!

as you can see in table on line 2 and line 3 I did not use limiter....and compared 3.8 to 5.0 ghz there was no change in fps according to the test......weird....anyone knows why?

please delete this topic

HelloI did some test with FSXMark07 with default clock at 3800 mhz. Also overclocked my pc to 5.0 ghz but strangely enough no difference! Even lower! In table below you can see my results. What is wrong with my new pc or testing method ? I use Triplehead to Go with 3x 22"Used Limiter = fps limiter limited to 30fps( internally fsx unlimited)nvidia means: did i use a nvidia inspecter profile with all settings "nickn" mentions to make for fsx like AA etc
