Bandit.

thank for the help guys. i dont use mirrors exactly for that reason. i also tried nvidia surround but didnt like how it dostorts the image plus it messes with my touchscreen. il also give that lua mod a try.

now im also getting this Uploaded with ImageShack.us

ok so i have been having some performance issues since i switched to windows 8. my rig consists of: cpu 4770k gpu: nvidia gtx titan ram: 16gb corsair dominator pc1866 ive got 1 display at 280x1440, 2 at 1920x1080 and 1 at 1280x768. i have triple checked all my drivers, etc. I started messing with my dcs game settings and discovered that visible range was cause my problems. on high i will barely go over 10fps and on medium i get steady 40fps. also, i see some glitching. for example my tad will display text blacked out ( similar to blacked out text in redacted documents) i see the same in the ingame option menu ( resume, briefing, quit menu.). not only is it an odd behavior but it didn't happen before. the rest of my settings are at the default high settings.

has dcs ever considered using some kind of anti cheat like punkbuster? would the community be willing to accept this? pb takes screenshots and makes them available. i have seen amazing things accomplished with pb with the help of server admins.

I just tried something in singleplayer. if i press f10 my game will automatically crash. other views work fine.

hi, i just upgraded to windows 8 64. i am using a gtx titan with the latest drivers and my game run fine in singleplayer. however, when i join a mission in multiplayer i get some kind of problem loading the textures i guess. here is a screen shot. ( keep in mind im running 3 camers + 1 mfcd on different viewports. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

ok so I contacted Nvidia and they said it is possible. however, it would depend on whether dcs world allows multiple gpus to render the different viewports. can any of the dev give some support with this or shall i start a supprt ticket??

ok so a while ago i upgraded from a gtx 580 to a gtx titan. i am using 3 monitors to display dcs. after kuky's suggestion i decided against using nvidia surround and opted for using 3 viewports. so my question is would it be possible to install back my old card and run some viewports on my titan and run other on my 580? I know 2 different cards can be used together as long as they are not sli'd not sure about using them both on dcs for different viewport though

well i left the center screen at native and it works fine. i gues its an acceptable compromise

yeah 480 for the right thanks for the help anyway i really aprecciate it. just hate to have to lower my res

ok so i lower the resolution of my displays to 1920*1080 and i got it working. its not ideal but it works. thanks for the help guys. does anyone think it would be possible to do it with all of them a max res?

the left mfcd functions kinda wierd. that is the way had it set up when i had a single monitor and it worked fine. also, keep in mind that the right mfcd is in portrait mode. total width of the 3 screeens is +1280 of the left mfcd =8960 + 480 width of the right mfcd gives me a total of 9440. dont mind the positioning of the left mfcd it just scales funny so i had to play with the resolution and position of the viewport to get it to work properly.

thanks for the help ok i treid the following but i still get the same problem _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('3Cameras test'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Center = { x = 2560; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Right = { x = 5120; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 7700; y = 0; width = 1200; height = 620; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 8960; y = 0; width = 480; height = 800; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

never mind my previous post i managed to fix playing with only the 3 screens. however, im now trying to add 2 new viewports for left mfcd and right mfcd. i cant know if my config is working because dcs stops working bwfoew it can launche a mission _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('j,b,'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Center = { x = 2560; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Right = { x = 5120; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 7680; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 8960; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

ok guys i am trying to set up 3 monitors using 3 viewports. however, my config just wont work. the screen starts about 1/3 of the way from my left monitor. it is also very distorted. i did set the combined res and set my left monitor as my main screen. im using 3 2560*1440 displays. here is my lua _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('j,b,'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Center = { x = 2560; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; }, Right = { x = 5120; y = 0; width = 2560; height = 1440; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.777777777777778; } } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

thanks for taking the time to explain everything peterp. I really appreciate what you are doing.

im having the same issue with the f15c. the hud is too wide and i cant read the outside numbers on the tape. dont know if it is supposed to be like this or if it is something that needs adjusting. anyway, some clarification qould be nice and thanks for this mod the shoulder thing is kind of revolutionary my view system is feel so much more natural now.

dont know if anyone has mentioned it but id like to know what changes to the graphics were made. i dont know if its just me or exactly what it is but since the last patch dcs seems to look a lot better for me.

ok guys ive been reading and search the forums like crazy to the point I got a headache. si im just going to go ahead and ask this. I am planning to run triple monitors on my gtx titan. I currently own a 2560X1440 27 inch asus pb278q. it is an wasome monitor but it has a hefty price tag. I thought that I was forced to basically get two identical ones to make a tripkehead set up. however, after reading a little about softh it seemed to me like I could be able to run the 2 side sidescreen on less high end monitors at lower resolutions without causing distortion or loosing much viewable scrren areas. I also have a 1240x768 monitor that I use for shkval and mfcds. and I have my main tv connected to my gfx card ( I only use this for movies not for dcs) so my current doubts reside in the following. first the most basic would I be able to connect all this stuff into my single titan and how would I need any adapters?? can softh really handle 2 sidescreens at 1080 plus a center one at 1440 ( All 27 inches ) without distortion or lossing wiewable areas ? I wouldn't minde having sidescreens ar lowers res since im going to be lokking at the center most of the time anyways so I figure I might save aome money this way. does anyone have a similar serp that wouldnt mind posting a screen of video to see how it looks likes? sorry fir the ammount of questions im not very tech savy thanks

hey kuky xould you mind pointing me in the right direction so I xan read about this viewport stuff? how well do you think a titan will handle x3 2560X1440 monitors?

after my prevoius thread i realised that a cpu upgrade perhaps isnt where my money would be best spend for dcs world. so, i started think of giving a go at using triple monitors. i currently have a 2560×1440 27 incher. for the sake of making all monitor look the same i wouls simple get 2 more od the exact same model. i would en up with an immense 7680x 1400 res. is my i7 920 + gtx titan going to be abke ti m hadnlw that well ? does anyone have similar setup? and dinally since ive never tried it is the is thisn a game changer upgrade like when tou.use tr rackir for the first time or is ir more like a nice addon to have

That is what i was afraid of. I guess ill wait and see how edge fits in all this. Who knows by then perhaps we akready have the next cpu from intel or at least haswell will be a bit cheaper

Well the thing is that my current right pretty much handles anything i throw at it. I know my cpu is outdated but it still manages to do well paired up with the titan. I game at 2560X1440 res so the video card is the one pulling the weight in most situations. The only performance issues ive had are the typical ones in dcs. You know cluster bombs, cannon fire on the p51, flying through an area with a lot of units and ai going on. I would assume that these instances are were the cpu is important and i also know that the game does have some performance issues regarding these instances. That is the part i dont really know about. Im not sure if it is simply a matter of optimization of the engine ( which means wait till edge comes out) or if my cpu is really the one holding me down. Obviously both things play a factor. My dilemma is whether i would see a big enough improvement to justify an upgrade. Once again keep in mind that im not concerned about stuff outside dcs becauae my system handles them fine.

Thanks for the advice guys i guess i will wait for edge before upgrading then. Whartsell im on vacation right now when i get back ill run some tests and post them for you
