Frosties Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 As stated in my earlier thread im experimenting with multiple monitors. I have three monitors as my "cockpit" and a fourth one as helios. I got the setup good, but somehow my two side monitors seems to be stretched out. The aspect ratio is correct to my knowledge, but whatever i test the stretch effect wont go away.

BHawthorne Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 You need to setup multiple custom cameras to fix the distortion
Frosties Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Any suggestions on how to do that? or is it not worth the effort? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Vincere Est Totum
PiedDroit Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) It's effortless, there is already a sample file in DCS, it's in 3cameras.lua (you might need need to modify it a bit if you have a 4th screen): _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('3 Screen'); Description = 'Configuration with 3 identical monitors each with its own camera' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; }, Center = { x = screen.width / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; }, Right = { x = screen.width * 2 / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; } } UIMainView = Viewports.Center When the viewDx parameter is set to 1 (or -1) the views are adjacent to each other, if it's less than 1 (ex: -0.9 and 0.9) they will overlap a bit, etc. There is also a lot of stuff at the end of this file but I never tried it ("displays" table etc).

vladibeast Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I've just spent an evening trying to get this to work with my 4 monitor T-shaped config. When I finally got it setup the way I like, I found out the perspective in combination with track-ir made it look awful. if I look only slightly left my wing would be in full view on my left monitor and if I looked a little more left I would see my tail.. Basically I think you only want to use this if you use 3 monitors without trackir.. Be warned :) Maybe spend your evening flying in stead of fidgeting around with disappointment at the end.. ;)
