If you right click on your desktop and go to the nvidia control panel, what mode are you running your GPU's in? SLI? Surround? Multi montior mode?

I did uncheck the box. The only workaround that I have found is to disable SLI and enable surround. FPS isnt' that great though.

I can run DCS fine with one monitor and two SLI GTX980's. The problems begin when i change my resolution to 3840X1080 with the intent of having the camera+LMFCD on the right. The sim starts and then crashes. Any ideas?

Same question guys, have they fixed most of the issues with firmware? If you own this hardware, would you suggest buying it to others/?

Hi Peter, I have been struggling with this for a few days now. I have both monitors attached to my GTX570. Win764 and this is for black shark 2, and I am using the 64bit SoftTH dll in the black shark2/bin directory. I have tried the suggestions above. My setup however has a few minor differences: 1. I have one monitor1920x1080 which I would like to be my main camera(it is also my primary desktop in Windows and is detected as monitor 1) 2. My second monitor max resolution is 1280X1024 and it is positioned to the left of my main monitor(it is my secondary monitor and is detected as monitor 2). I am trying to set this up in black shark 2. I do see the softTH logo on the left monitor. I can see some of the cockpit on my main monitor but it is partially blocked by the camera. I basically have a duplicate of this on the left monitor. Here is my softTH config: Here is my options LUA file: Here is my monitor setup file:

Hi all, Been out for a while. I have a 27 inch monitor at 1920X1080 and I have a 19 inch dell that will do 1280X1024. I would like to have the main camera on the larger monitor with the nav or gun camera on the smaller monitor. What is the easiest setup? Softth or the other method using LUA files?

Guys, It has been a while since I checked back on BS, but do they have the multi monitor feature working in multiplayer(reliably) yet?

My 260OC doesn't even like water on high and it drops my framerates by 50%. Good advice there, make sure to drop that water detail.

We have a pretty laid back community with no time requirements or procedures. Feel free to fly with us, we are online almost every evening.

This is only true on certain motherboards. This does not seem to be true on ASUS boards. I have tried this with mine and there is 0 performance degredation when using hyperthreading on an i7 processor.

Sundog, Which service are you using? Any tips on the proxyuser.ini file?

Here you go, here is another tileproxy screenshot with some gauges on the second monitor.

I have done the same thing on my system and noticed 0 performance increase on my system when disabling hyperthreading. I wonder if it is something specific to your mobo? As for Windows 7, I have read that Microsoft will be offering an upgrade program for curent Windows Vista users. I hope that the upgrade is fairly cheap since Microsoft has admitted that they would prefer to EOL vista after thw Win7 release.

Disable UAC, disable AERO and make sure to install as an administrator. I myself prefer to install programs outside the X86 folder. I have re-installed black shark a few times myself and never run into this issue.

I am running the latest drivers on my 260 192 and I have noticed that the framerates in Black Shark tend to fluctuate more than usual. Earlier driver releases seemed like they provided a more consistent and stable frame rate.

Anybody think a Russian development team will pick up a standard flight simulator? Microsoft let all 1500 employees go and that product was the first to be cut.

Hi Hitman, That resolution is my 26 inch monitor and my 19 inch monitor combined. Flightsim X spans across both so that you can put a GPS or other gauges on the other monitor.

Yes it does and I figured out the problem. For those using VISTA 64 who ran into the same problem that I described above, reinstall TileProxy and leave the cache at the DEFAULT location. That fixed my problem. Apparently specifying the new cache directory in the .INI file doesn't work sometimes. Here is a picture of my back yard. Glacier Park, Montana in FlightsimX.

This is good advice. SLI does nothing for you in Black Shark right now. I would highly recommend a CPU upgrade over a SLI alternative.

I went through all the steps including the driver signing stuff. TileProxy loads up fine without any errors before I start flight sim. I start flightsimulator but I don't see the new terrain. I tried many locations/daytime and I tried a few map services. Am I missing something obvious? Do I need to point flightsim towards the new texture directories under the scenery settings?

Hi all, Just throwing this article out there: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/corsair-triple-channel-ddr3,6614.html I am sure that because this is from a memory manufacturer that the results are not completely unbiased. Needless to say, my Gskill ram kit dropped by 30 dollars in price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231235 What do you guys think. On VistaX64 do you think the corsair results will hold up in the real world?

It looks like they want you to specify the game root folder as well as the sub-folder \bin\stable. I noticed a new dsound.dll in that stable folder. So Washer, any noticeable difference with Alchemy turned on?

Ok, I gave in and grabbed a card because I also listen to a lot of music on my polk audio system with a yamaha sub and there is a difference in sound quality. NO difference in game performance btw as I initially said earlier in the thread. My question is this: Somebody explain to me the benefits of Alchemy and does it work in Vista X64 specifically with Black Shark.

Agreed, it seems pretty obvious to me that if we disable four "logical" processors that the operating system can use for background processing....that probably wouldn't be a good thing if you are using Vista. Perhaps the folks having problems with hyperthreading were using Windows XP. :book:

Go with the i7920 if you have the money to spend and if you are on a budget, grab an e8600. In terms of the "hyperthreading" comments that I have seen here and elsewhere, I notice NO performance decrease when using hyperthreading and trust me, I have tried Black Shark with hyperthreading on and OFF. Overall, the i7 is the fastest processor for everyday use and the 920 is beating the core 2 extreme processors in synthetic benchmarks but keep in mind that for Black Shark, processor speed is really the determining factor on how well this games runs and the syntetic benchmarks won't tell you anything there. I have posted lots of screenshots from my system using a GTX 260 192 card and the game plays very well at very high resolutions. The other comments about price are fair though and I was seriously looking at the E8600 processor before deciding on the I7 because of future upgrade ability with the new platform. My I7 is currently overclocked to 3.27 and for those that think that two video cards in SLI mode will help you..... SLI does NOTHING for you in this game and may actually decrease performance. Don't worry about buying two video cards.
