Chass32, What has your experience been in regards to motion sickness? From what I've read, although newer hardware has improved this - and it's supposed to be even better with production models - with current hardware, it's still a major issue for some, to the point where they start to sick up and even get flashes of vertigo after playing. That said, I also read it's not as bad for cockpit type VR environments? Have you or any of your friends suffered from motion sickness when trying it out for more than just a few minutes? Thanks, JB

Sorry, been away! For the screenshot, here are some instructions on how to do so: Windows 8: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/take-screen-capture-print-screen#take-screen-capture-print-screen=windows-8 Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/take-screen-capture-print-screen#take-screen-capture-print-screen=windows-7 You could then upload the image to http://imgur.com/ and share the image link from there. If you do decide to take a video you can use screen capturing software to do that (although with a hit in frames from what I understand)... or simply recording video with an external device like a smartphone should be good enough to give the idea and then you can upload it to youtube by following instructions here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/57407?hl=en Thanks!!

Because of the stretching/distortion, I figured I'd have to change my monitor setup and rotate my panels from landscape to monitor - that, or look into getting a 4k TV - but your setup sounds very interesting! When you're panning out to 50%, are you getting any stretching/distortion on the sides? Or are you zoomed in to avoid that distortion and therefore losing a wide FOV? (I'm probably giving away, with these questions, the fact that I may not be full grasping your setup, lol) Just to make sure I visualize and understand correctly what it is you're doing and the resulting view you're getting, would you mind posting a screenshot of what you see on your screen (I believe the screenshot should accurately grab that?)? Or is there perhaps a youtube video you're aware of out there of someone with this kind of a setup? Thanks! JB

Ok, I ran a few quick tests and didn't see an improvement either. I will stick with running them off one card. Thanks!

Hi all, My dad is going through chemo and I'm starting to put together a flight sim rig for him, as that's something he always loved and would be a nice distraction for him! My question has to do with multiple monitors and GPUs in Prepar3d. After perusing the forums, I see that some are connecting multiple monitors to one GPU using nVidia Surround or Eyefinity, ... but with the resulting view either being distorted/stretched on the sides, or being too zoomed in (even with Denali's fix it seems). Alternatively, some are running windowed views (ie. VC on the middle monitor, plus Left Wing plus Right Wing on the side monitors), but with a big drop in FPS (unless running multiple client PC's, which isn't an option I'm considering right now), and having to adjust the views for each aircraft. I have a couple of 7950's already and I wanted to avoid the distortion issue, so my questions are as follows: Q1. Would 2 GPUs (in non-SLI/crossfire mode) improve performance in multiple windowed mode? Say if one GPU is driving the middle monitor for VC view... and the other GPU is driving the left and right monitors for side views? Q2. If using software like EzDok camera or OpusFSI, will the views always remain aligned? Or will there be some discrepancies in the horizon for example, when flying to the left or right? Thanks in advance for your replies! JB

Hi Mark, Which limitations are you referring to in regards to a 3 display config? I'm asking because I'm helping my dad build a flight sim and just about to start setting up 3 displays for him... Thanks, JB
