Do you run FSX in fullscreen mode?

Pictures of our FS9/FSX/XP-10 Computers and Cockpits
Smann replied to SpiritFlyer's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcThought I would introduce myself, I've been bouncing around forums getting info for my new FSX set up for quite a while now. I started with FS 98, still have all the other versions also with the manuals on my shelf. I got into saltwater reef aquariums (my avatar) years ago and put my flying and Flt sim on the back burner, can't have to many expensive hobbies at once!. In 2009 we remodeled and I built myself a sim desk (pic below) set up TH2go and built a nice computer with three monitors. I would fly it once in a while, liked VC in the C172 and B737, worked great, good frame rates, never looked for much else. Last year after my new aquarium was set up and running, it's pretty much automated and the only thing to do was clean and enjoy it, I decided to get back into flight sim, I couldn't believe all the new stuff available. I bought some Satik panels, hooked up a fourth monitor for a panel, found some sites and a manual, forgot what a PIA FSX was but all in all got it going and I really like the new set up. I've done a few flights on Vatsim and spent weeks learning to land on a carrier. Anyway Thanks for the forum and all the time everyone puts in to help answer questions, I would have given up if it wasn't for sites like this, There just isn't anyway to figure out all this stuff on your own! Here is the new set up, I wasn't going to post it, maybe I went a little overboard but what the heck! Thanks again Steve

Nvidia Surround and FSX
Smann replied to espensh's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcYeah I went back to the default setting and tried the different zooms, also liked the 1.00. My fish eye isnt all that bad, only when buildings are close

Nvidia Surround and FSX
Smann replied to espensh's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcI have a Matrox Th2go with three Samsung 24" monitors and a fourth I use as the panel, The frame rates stay the same from windowed mode to full screen with the Matrox. With everything set normal-high, water 2xlow, I run 40-50+ fps, some areas higher. However:I tried the setting below and it majes a HUGE difference, the fisheye is completly gone and the frame rates tripled and then some. The only problem is the zoom factor, even maxed at 30 its to close, I havent tried moving the eye point back yet but if this setting can be used it will be amazing, if anyone has any suggestions on the zoom, I can post some pics if you like, fps is 100+ in the PNW and higher in the Hawaiian IslandsNote, I am running in cockpit view with the panel on the fourth monitor
