  1. Peter P. Iam deeper in the rabit hole! When I try to set the monitor configuration like you told me to everything goes to poop. My primary mointor goes to a different screen, the resualation changes and the idenity of each screen differs. This all happens when I turn on the port apd,s. I copyed and pasted the files into my dcs system and when I went to open the game I got a Error message and the game would not open at all. I reinstalled my orginiall file and it worked well. I then tryed to just install one of your files and the Error message was there. (this happened with all three) This may not work Like I need it to becuse I need all of the 1152 pixles on monitors 2 and 3 to cover my pit pannel. Any ideas beside win-7 and BS-2? How did you come up with 1499X1248?:(
  2. I have the beer and steak on hand, "the Old Fart"
  3. Iam not able to set custom resoluation a=390 b=580 c=410 d-85
  4. four monitor set-uo Peter p. I received my USB port Apd. and installed it. The attachments are what I think you will need to write the lua's. With the monitors aranged this way Iam no sure what my total resulation would be. Would I beable tpo play BS-1 With only one screen after this change would be made?. (becuse sometimes I just like to practice whil Iam working on the computer.) All my system is like it was before when you helped me with two monitors. except now I am using two USB port Apd's.
  5. sounds like something I should have, Count me in Thank You
  6. After rereading you reply I see you can't change the lau,s untill all four mointors are working. I will order another USB port adp today. And I wanted to let you know that I found my "Optionsdata.lau file" I will get in touch with you when I get all 4 monitors working Thank You "the old fart"
  7. peter p. my total resulation for all 4 monitors would be 3392x1152 (becuse pillow monitor is working good @ 640x480). My question is: I still need to buy another USB Port Apd. to make all 4 mointior work at the same time. Can the lau's be changed before that hapens? and if we do change them can I still use my primary monitor for common use? The digram shows whear the mointors would be placed. Thank You Deskoilot (the old fart)
  8. correction the total resoluation should be 4128x1152. I think that the total resouation in the drop down menu (In game options) should be whatever you are using however I am not abel to just type this in. Should this be changed in the "Options lua file)? According to the Dummies Guide, it should be changed in the "OptionsData.lua file. I don't have a OptionsData .lua File.
  9. four monitor system? I think that I have tryed everything. I have spent the last three days trying to set-up a three monitor system becuse I have allready built the cockpit dash for a Black Shark (BS-1) I made it to chapter 3 in the "lau for dummies". and I have read "MUCH" info on how to, but it seems that nothing will work. Iam an old retired mimitary fart that loves this game. My pitt is a three year project. Mr Peter P has given me much help and I hope that someone can help me out. My system is win 32 XP. Iam running a GeForce 8400 Graphics card and Iam using a USB 2.0 port apd. for my third monitor and I plan on getting on more for a pillow Monitor which I have allready tested, works well. Iam running Hellios on two of the three monitors for my gauages but I need to have my Abris working with helios on one of my monitors and I would like to use the pillow monitor for the shkval. I need to rotate monitors 2 and 3 90 degrees as so they will cover the holes in my pitt. I can do that and I have no problems with the hellios working. My left and right monitors are 864x1152 and my primary monitor (cockpit view) is 1024x768. My pillow monitor (shkvak) is 800x600. If someone could get me started with a lau file for this I know that I could twek if I needed to. I have a sketch of what Iam doing Thanks deskoilot (the old fart)
  10. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to assign a usb port to act as a extra monitor? I have a 7 inch usb monitor and would like to have my Sharkval displayed for my pit sim.
  11. found it, Thanks
  12. I know it's out there someware, I think that I have even seen it but does anyone have any idea on how to get the EKRAN into the tool box for helios profile?:huh:
  13. does anyone know if it would be possible to have two computers running so that BSVP could be displayed and the game on another system?
  14. Is there a step by step procedure (quick Ref) for setting the switches in BS-1 to blow up things other than what the manual says.
  15. Peter P, If I was to install the updated download @$20 from Eagle Dyamics for Black Shark-2, would that cause any problems with the way my system is working now? and If were to add another Video Card to my PCI slot could I run two more monitors?
  16. Mr. Peter P, Iam a happy camper! (thats good) I reloaded all files, figured out that I needed to start the game (stupid me) and it all worked "WELL" just like you said would. You are super man when it comes to DCS. Now i will answer you the question why I don't want to run continous screen, well rembure that Iam "OLD SCHOOL" and I thought that I would have to change me screen set up so everytime I loged onto my computer I would be in continuous screen. if I could only have continuous screen while running BlackShark, that would be good. I do plan on updating my system so that I may have up to four screens. There is no way I could write a lua for that, however Iam learning more and more each day. Anyway Thank You very much for all that you have done for me and I hope to be talking to you soon on the forum. Tanks again, deskoilot
  17. #1,2, and 3 checked ok. #4, Aspect does not read "2.6666666666667" and it is not in the drop down list. I checked the options lua and under Multimonitor Setup the aspect lines are reversed from the lua (1.3333333333333) you just sent me. Should I change them? #5, ok #6, see picture
  18. Peter P I checked all my settings and everything seems to be ok, All programs are where they should be(the ones you gave me) and yes, phantom fix is working. Both monitors seem to be working when I first fire up the game but once it goes to the second phase, I only get a picture on the primary screen (right half cockpit view, left half flickering).
  19. here is the settings on my computer, (hope you can m,ake them out)
  20. it does appear pinkpurpleish on task bar. [black shark icon],I will check it out.
  21. my system problems Peter P: I think that I was able to get the phantom fix downloaded, but it still won't work and I think that my problem may very well be my GPU. On monitor #2 (to my left) I get a picture on the right half of my screen. On my primary monitor I get a warped picture of the cockpit view on the right half and on the left half it keeps flashing the windows wallpaper screen. I took a screen shot of this and I hope to be able to post it for you. my file folder is full so I cannot send info that way. Anyway, Thanks for your help. I will fly on ONE screen.
  22. Yurgon, Iam using Black Shark 1, however I fijured out to print screen with windows xp
  23. peter p, when I download the phantom monitor fix, all it showes me is that the files are going but the"green bar" does not move. I let run for quite some time. any ideas? Thanks Yurgon for the info on screen shots, I will check it out.
  24. 1, 17" monitor to my left, 23" center 2, 1024x768 3, yes 4, Nvidia, Ge Force 8400 GS 5, abris on right sideusing all vertical and shkval on left vertical centered. "not continus" what this means is that would like to have two seperate screens. thank you very much for all that you have done for me.
