Well, that makes me feel a little better then when I get the 3 monitor fresnel setup going. :) Am I correct in hearing that the next patch will fix multicore support for XP?

Okay, I give up. I can't get the framerate up and this stinks because all I'm doing is exporting a darned panel - which is bull. It should not take more than a +50% hit on framerate. There is just no way. Implausible. Inconceivable. Impossible I say! It is as if DCS has eaten some Iocane powder and now it is falling flat on its face. :-\

I'll have to check out LOVP - from the looks of it though, I don't think it will work with DCS. I'm most concerned about the framerate. I have an ULTRA smooth framerate without doing the ABRIS multimonitor thing. As soon as I do it though, I get hosed framerate-wise. Is everyone else getting hosed?

Okay, I got it working! I had to use a phantom monitor fix .exe to make it work??? Anyways, my config files are as follows: options.lua: ["graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "modified", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 1, ["scenes"] = "high", ["water"] = 2, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "Medium", ["aspect"] = 1.3333333333333, ["textures"] = 2, ["shadows"] = 3, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 3, ["lights"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["terrPrld"] = "20", ["height"] = 1024, ["resolution"] = "2048x1024", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 2048, }, -- end of ["graphics"] and modified.lua: Description = 'modified' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1280; height = 960; } } ABRIS = { x = 1280; y = 0; width = 768; height = 1024; } Windows setup is as follows: NView Multimonitor setup with independent screens (it is called DualView) 2nd screen I did a reverse portrait rotation so it displays at 768x1024x60hz 1st screen I have set at 1280x960x75hz So you run this phantom monitor fix, have those config files setup correctly as above, and I get a vertical ABRIS in portrait mode on my left screen and the game on my right. The only problem is my framerate has gone to poop. Royally. Like, taken a big turd. Any ideas? (I'll be shocked if I see a reply) My system specs: Q9450 2 Gigs RAM 260 GTX Windows XP, SP 2 I have a pretty fast system, right? It should be able to hack this just fine. Funny thing is, if I run it in cloneview, I get a much better framerate, but, I can not set the second monitor to portrait view which makes the ABRIS so sexy. Also, I notice that if I try to run fullscreen mode when in Portrait Dualview mode, it crashes. If I run fullscreen without any dualscreens, it works fine and the framerate is great at maxxed out detail. (well, nearly maxxed). So, beyond anyone giving me the magic answer to fix the framerate - it SHOULD be really high regardless of that second screen, here is a second question to add to the mess: Is there a way to export instruments to a second computer, say, similar to F4 GLASS that we use for Falcon 4.0. I could use my laptop to display the goodies and not get a framerate hit at all. After all, it is only data being pumped out over the network.

I think it is a pile that ED won't release the patch so us XP users can get the multicore love.

Okay? Nobody? I see people doing multimonitor stuff here, but I can't find an instruction guide on it.

Two questions actually. One, this file here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=568729&postcount=22 Can't be had anymore. I want the camera on the left monitor and the ABRIS on the right monitor. I don't know what to do. Second question: I want the Abris to be displayed longways rather than shortways - i.e. flip the X/Y Axes of the display so if the monitor was sitting on the desk, it would look like the ABRIS was being displayed on its side rather than top to bottom. The reason for this is I have a mini portable display and I want the top side of the ABRIS to be on the 768 Axis and the long side to be on the 1024 Axis. Does this make sense? How do I do this? Third (I'm cheating), is there a way to do multi-monitor without having Nview span my desktop in XP?

Am I clear in understanding that the new patch will provide a huge improvement for XP users for multicore support finally?

Soooo... the boxed version will just include the dvd and we'll pay extra for the manual? Do I read this right? How much will the manual cost? I don't care about paying extra for the manual - I'm just trying to decide weather to download it or get the boxed copy. If the boxed is just a dvd - then to heck with it, download sounds like a great deal, then buy the manual separately.

Will the dvd version included printed, hardcopy manuals?

Do you guys plan on shipping BlackShark with pre-made profiles for HOTAS such as the Cougar, Saitek X52 and CH Products setups? Just having the keyboard commands loaded into the macro file for us ahead of time will save quite a bit of time creating a new profile.
