Monitor Stand I recently built a custom machine and used a VIVO Quad LCD Monitor Heavy Duty Desk Mount 3 + 1 Stand / Holds Four Screens up to 27" (STAND-V004Y) I like the construction(quality), the cable management and height adjustments... I'd recommend it to anyone mounting 3 monitors. I have 3 Dell S2716DG screens on the mount and may add a 4th at the top. :thumbup:

I also have 3 - Dell S2716DG 27” 1440p 144hz GSYNC monitors using on Nvidia's Surround. The default settings produce an image very similar to Tone 71's bottom image where the left and right monitor images bend downward with that sharp angle in the horizon. Looks weird. Is that normal? Are there settings that produce a more natural looking image? Should I just run DCS with 3 monitors and not enable the Surround? Thanks in advance!

Thanks to both of you. For now, I've downgraded to 1.2.16.43180 and the sim is at least running again. I'll hopefully have time soon to try the tweaks that sslechta suggested. On the runway again!

Are there any pre-1.5 versions still available? It's frustrating that I was able to run the sim before and purchased more modules. Now Eagle Dynamics has raised the system requirements above my system; invalidating my purchases and making it so I can't run it any more.

I recently had to reinstall back from Win 10 to Win 7. Maxed my memory to 8gb but still have a Nvidia GT 425m 1gb video card. I had stepped away from DCS for a while. The last version I was running was DCS Version 1.2.15.37241 (64-bit). Now in 1.5, the application crashes on the initial splash screen and throws: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: DCS.exe Application Version: 1.5.3.50487 Application Timestamp: 56c7096a Fault Module Name: d3d11.dll Fault Module Version: 6.2.9200.16570 Fault Module Timestamp: 5153b56b Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00000000000d14d1 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: c11f Additional Information 2: c11fc7b24510008b367a55bf1c4d3010 Additional Information 3: 4c03 Additional Information 4: 4c03223b9bedd08510586007d5ac242b I've corresponded with tech support but after all I've tried (and failed) I'm thinking my video card just won't run v1.5 as all the sys requirements state a 2gb min video memory. So I'm wondering... can't I go back to the 1.2.15 version? I tried using dcs_update but every version I tried just got rejected as not being available. Any ideas? Help? Thanks in advance.
