Multiple monitors

[Pinefang]

Can some one verify something for me? Did I read that Multiplayer doesn't support multiple monitors? Thanks in advance.

No, absolutely not. Multiple Monitors work the same way in Multiplayer that they do in single player. I have 3 and its nice

Yep, running 3 monitors myself. You might take a FPS hit pending on hardware but I've been in a squad for better than a year and used this setup the entire time.

First of all I see what your up against, and there is an easy solution. I am assuming you are wanting the editor to utilize the whole screen and the aircraft to use the whole screen. This is accomplished by setting your monitors as a single monitor and if your using ATI, its called Eyefinity. Nvidia calls it something else. I have the ATI so to get the three screens to act as a single screen, I have to create an Eyefinity. If your using the new Crimson Driver and control panel, its fairly straight forward, open your Radeon settings, then click the Eyefinity tab. Create a new eyefinity group by clicking Quick Setup. Nvidia is very similar, but I am not sure about the exact procedure. Then, in your DCS options, set your "Monitors" option to 3 screen and your resolution to 5760x1080.

 

Option 2, if you want to use one monitor for flying and the other two for MFD's, you can use a predefined monitor settings, "LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD" or you can create your own, Like I have. Here is the lau script that I created.

Hollar if you need further assistance....
