LNR212 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Hey Guys, just some toughts... I am currently using 4 Monitors in Portrait-Landscape-Portrait with a total resolution (incl. Frame) of 4274x2257. (Head 3 is a Touchscreen for those Cockpitswitches and so on) With this setup i can not use nVidia Surround. But i like this setup, especially for the Ka-50. So i am using SoftTH. Working good, BUT i beleive with DCS 2 and the new DirectX it wont be working anymore... right? So i am thinking of new solutions: #1: getting SimPit's 180° solution with this blackpearl Display and 2 Short distance Beamers -> veeery expensive, or #2: getting a curved 4K 55" TV. muuuch more cheaper Well, i am tending to a curved 4K TV which should have 3840x2160. So its nearly the same as my current setup i think?! Just without the touchscreen... What are your opinions about sitting in front of such a huge TV? Or the easiest way would be to get SoftTH working for DCS 2. I think i read something about SoftTH 2.0, but its not really usable for now - i'm maybe wrong... What do you (SoftTH-) guys think or will do when DCS 2 comes out? PS: The Very best would be if we could render those things directly in DCS for each monitor... :music_whistling:
Mr_Burns Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Just out of interest I stopped using softh a number of years ago with no not able issues. Have you tried stopping using it then configuring through EMC orvsomething and Helios? It maybe a frame rate I was down to 25-30 with 4 monitors, is that what softh improves?
LNR212 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 I dont use helios or emc anymore. I am displaying the whole cockpit over my 4 monitors, so there's no need for helios. SoftTH is perfect, because it only renders the monitor areas and not the unused (see my pic above)... But I beleive it won't work anymore on DCS 2... :helpsmilie:

weeb Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I don't know where it is going to go from here. I needed a solution for 3 x 27 with bezel correction and I think it was PeterP who pointed me at this. It was so easy to set up. There was a guy who took the open source files, I can't remember who it was and it was his intention to make it dx10 but that seems to have died a death. I took the core files and had a look at them, I'm a linux kinda dude so I was totally lost with the DX api. To me softth was a simpler version of eyefinity and 3 d surround, it filled a niche. It didn't work if I crossfired my cards. I might be totally wrong here so i will apologise in advance, does eyefinity not allow you to put all these monitors together in that configuration? Windows 7 64 Home Premium, i5 3570K (3.4 @ 4.4GHz), Asus P8Z77-V LX, 16GB dual channel 1600 ram, EVGA Nvidia GTX980ti, 240 GB OCZ SSD, 3 TB Raptor, Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas and Throttle, Saitek Pro Combat Rudder pedals.
LNR212 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 i also have 4x27". but unfortunately eyefinity/surround won't let you mix it. only all in landscape or all in portrait (as far as i know...) i found this: http://www.softth.net/ but i have no idea how far it is regarding DX10/11 hey Burnsie, i would love to show you some pics, but in my sim-room it actually has 31°C and im on holidays from now on till next week
wormeaten Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I start this discussion as one of the solution for virtual cockpit use. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145361 Point is with this relatively cheep hardware you don't need additional touch screen for cockpit because it will immerse your hands inside your 4Ktv for natural intuitive usage of cockpit instruments and switches. Could be use with VR too. What do you think about it?
Weltensegler Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Are there any updates on a softTH update or sequel? Because its likely that we remain with screen tearing and/or no SLI capability until we go full screen which again prevents display export to separate monitors if I remember correctly. That was the beauty about sofTH having full screen over multiple and partial monitors. We need that feature! Any ideas? I guess I could read through the softTHv3 forum to maybe find an answer but anyone did already and can tell in a nutshell maybe?
