Can that second monitor be a touch screen? So that ABRIS could be operated through that touch screen?

I just had exact same though... I still have one 7" touchscreen I never really got to use and this might just be the right thing for it :noexpression:

There was a post on this a while ago - can't be bothered to look for it! - use the search. I think Urze posted with his setup. He had 2x 22" TFTs (the lower one was a touch screen) and 2x 19" either side in portrait orientation. Check it out here (audio is a bit pants):

"Veoh is no longer available in CROATIA."

 

 

:furious: :badmood: :bomb: :bash: :crash: :disgust: :censored: :censored: :censored: :protest: :ranting:

 

And so is not Russian DCS, and when Western one arrives there will be Western price! Thats what I was talking back there in another topic - I'm not in US/EU, yet I have to wait for thier release :crazy:

 

But, back to the topic....

 

Any pics of multimonotor setup? Any tutorial related to DCS?

THIS IS NOT THE PHOTO SHOT I AM LOOKING FOR.

Granted Urze has a nice setup, but this is NOT the set up i am refering to...

 

WHAT HE HAS IS BLACK SHARK DISPLAYED ON 2 MONTIORS..., with a touch screen on the bottom center..

the same guy also can display BLACK Shark on 6 monitors...

 

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS BLACK SHARK DISPLAYED ON 1 (ONE)...

i repeat.. ONE MONITOR...and then having the video of the Shkval or ABRIS ON A SEPARATE MONITOR.. (MEANING, the BLACK SHARK game session IS NOT DISPLAYED ON THIS 2nd MONITOR).

 

THANK YOU.

 

p.s. ED, DCS & TFC Devs please release black shark to the US soon...

tx...

Ok, so here's how I did it:

 

1) You have to enable the second screen in the gfx control panel

2) You have to set it to "extended desktop" and then enable "stretching horizontally"

3) This is where the PITA can occur: You have to select a resolution for the combined monitors. In the ATI control panel I had only 4 different resolutions availiable and only one would work for me (2040x768 ), matching closest my desired (akward) resolution of 2384x768 (I have a 32" LCD-TV (1360x768 ) and a old 19" CRT (1024x768 ) => 1360 + 1024 = 2384)).

So the image on my LCD-TV is stretched by ~300 pixels.

I tried to add the custom resolution with Powerstrip, but I could only add it to the resolution list of the separate monitors, but not to the list of the virtual stretched display. I hope this makes sense :doh:.

Maybe it's easier with Nvidia cards or with two normal monitors.

 

Anyway, you should end up with the desktop - AND THE TASKBAR!! -stretched over both screens. If the taskbar is only displayed on one screen, you did something wrong!

 

The Shkval-screen needs to be the left one (with the "Start" button) the main screen the right one (with the Systray and the clock). Of course you can put the second screen wherever you want, but it needs to be the left one settings wise. If it's the right one, select "swith screens" in your gfxcard control panel.

 

4) In the BS options you have to enable "2 Screens - Shkval+Monitor" and select the virtual resolution (2040x768 in my case).

 

:doh:

 

Have fun!

 

 

Edit: While thinking over it, it occurred to me that the two screens will have the exact same resolution. So - like in my case - if you have a widescreen monitor and a 4:3 aspect monitor, stretching/distorting WILL occur and there's nothing you can do about it. :-(
