Ok. The options file was deleted. I let DCS create a new one. Just working on monitor 4 and 5 to get them to show the MFCDs and I am ready to go! Thanks for your pateince with me.

I thought that those were the coordinates? LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5760; y = 600; width = 800; height = 600; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 6560; y = 600; width = 800; height = 600;

Update....I deleted the options.lua as you suggested and had the game create a new file. I then copied JG's settings (blue) and pasted them into my options.lua file. DCS is working now but both of my 8inch monitors are completely blank and not showing my mfcds. I can see the mouse cursor on the 8inch screen if I scroll off of the far right corner of my side monitor as it is positioned in windows. Steve

Kuky, The monitor name now shows up in the list with that fix. But DCS keeps crashing just like in the attached photo. Steve

JG, I checked all files are in the correct places. When I go into DCS I see the correct aspect (that you put in) but a blank line not saying displaying the monitor setup name. When I try to enter the mission with the blank file name the DCS program screen turns white while trying to load the mission. I have to press ctl + alt + del and noticed that the DCS program is spiking to over 2,000,000. I attached pictures! Wow...this is more difficult that I suspected. Thanks for your help gentlemen, Steve

JG, I am using DCS World.

Here is the options LUA file. Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate it. options.lua

I am about to give up. Everything that I try with this sim does not work.

I installed version 2.07 and it successfully created the config file. I then took the .dll from 2.08 and replaced it in the Bin folder.

Should I try using earlier versions or maybe the 32 bit?

Yes I am.

I did a google search on that error without any luck. I am the admin for the computer and do not have multiple user accounts.

I am trying to setup softth and keep getting this error. Any idea? Is it because I have a current version of DirectX installed? Steve

Hey Guys, So I unplugged my two Lilliput USB Monitors and was able to setup NVIDIA Surround. I had everything working stable with a total screen resolution of 5760 x 1080. I setup the monitor for 1 camera in the DCS settings. I know want to get my Lilliput Monitors working as MFCDs. I plugged them both in and my NVIDIA surround disappeared and now when I go into DCS it displays on only one monitor. I attached a drawing of what I am trying to accomplish. I am losing my mind.

Hey guys, JG, I tried your fix today and my FPS jumped up to about 30FPS. It did bounce around a lot and dipped into the teens when flying around mountains. Kuky, I will give your suggestions a shot too! I am worried about my lilliput's now.....will those totally kill my FPS? Thanks again guys!

I will try that when I get home tomorrow. I do have Full Screen checked off. Will I put it back on three screen when I hook up the two 8inch Lilliput monitors?

Hey Guys, I was able to get my Nvidia Surround setup on my three monitors. I am using 5760 x 1080. I set DCS to 3 screen and 1024 every frame, MSAA to 4x, and HDR to Normal. I also checked off Disable Aero, Tree Shadows, Fully Screen, Cockpit Shadows, and TSSAA. I left VSync unchecked. I also made sure that VSync was unchecked within the NVidia control panel. I was able to get in game and by using FRAPS noticed that I was getting 10FPS. I tried using SoftTH but I was getting an error when I attempted to start DCS. With my system shouldn't I be getting more FPS? Thank you, Steve

I am trying to figure it out....NVidia Surround wants me to disable the USB monitors. When I go into DCS and put the settings on (3) monitor it crashes. /Steve

Hey guys, I just built my new computer and set all of my monitors up. I have 3 24 inch monitors and 2 8in Lilliput USB monitors. I am trying to decide if I should setup NVIDIA Surround or work with softth. I have a single GeForce GTX680 4gb 32gb RAM and a 6 core processor.

I just ordered two of the USB displays. I am sure I will be back looking for some help setting them up. This is an expensive hobby!

You guys are awesome, thank you for your fast responses! That youtube video is a single monitor setup. I am looking to see if I can use my eyefinity triple monitor setup as well as the two 8inch opertional MFCD's. I have a i7 quad core.....24gb RAM...ATI 6800 video card. 3 x 27in Acer monitors. Thrustmaster Warthog, Thrustmaster Cougar MFD's. I just want to know if I can do it before spending $400.00 on the 8inch displays. Thank you again! Steve

I want to keep the triple monitor setup and run the extra two mfcd's

Hello everyone, I have a triple monitor setup (3 x 27inch monitors) and it worked perfectly out of the box for me with DCS A-10 (I got lucky). I bought a set of Thrustmaster MFCD's and am wondering if I could setup working LCD's for them using Lilliput UM-80's? I apologize if this question has been asked before, I searched the forums and did not find this exact question. Thank you in advance! Steve
