3 Screen Setup Confusion

[si239]

Hi Guys

 

Im wondering if someone can give me some advice on settting up my 3 screen setup I know there are plenty of topics relating to this issue but I feel after trying so many ways to fix this and spending so many hours/days trying im getting to the stage of complete frustration I feel I need some help.

 

I know it maybe a simple answer but for me being a complete novice its a bit confusing for me to understand.

 

My setup is 3 x 24 inch monitors and im running a current resolution of 5780 x 1080 with dual gtx 780 cards my problems is my .lua file and getting it setup correctly and to work with my Track IR 5 the main problem is my screens don't look right at all does anyone have a default .lua file for this resolution for me to try as the default ones that are pre installed don't work at all ill try and provide more information tomorrow in my next post..

 

Apologies for maybe being a bit to vague in my post

 

Thanks and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My 3 screen setup works good. I've got 2x 4K monitors and a 3rd smaller one, with the main view port in the centre. I'm at work ATM, should be finished in around 8 hours. I'll check back here when I'm finished and if you haven't resolved the problem by then, I'll pass on my lua file setup for your dimensions to try.

si239 are you sure you need to edit the .lua file?

 

I run 2 GTX780's in SLI on a triple screen setup at 5780x1080 and have never edited a .lua to make it happen. I simply set the resolution in game and selected 1 screen after running Nvidia Surround.

i have tried the settings within the game but when i try and play the perspectives look all wrong maybe its something to do with the software for the nvidia cards i have but i have no idea on that subject.

 

there is also a issue with the zoom as i cannot zoom out enough to view the controls i have tried the buttons within the game without any success.

 

thanks

here is the screen shot of my cockpit running it on 5780 x1080 on 1 screen and i cannot zoom back anymore to view the controls

To me your view looks normal except the closeness to the HUD.

 

I think you have the trackir z axis issue. I'm at work and can't show you but in your axis commands you might see all the track ir items grouped together except for one that will be lower on the list, say 10 or so items down. That needs to be moved up to the blank spot you see with the grouping of trackir commands.

 

I doubt that made sense but I'll take a photo tonight if I can.

You need to goto your game folder and copy the server.lua and place it in your saved games folder. then change the fov for the KA-50.. I set my FOV to 140 default it is 120.. there is a readme in the game folder stating you need to copy the folder there and place it in saved games and make your changes in the saved games folder lua file..

Hi Steggles, i see you have 2x Radeons. Did you manage to run both in Crossfire Full Screen Mode?

[si239]

i have copied the folder from Dcs world/config/view to my saved games/dcs/config/ and opened the server.lua file in notepad++

 

can you tell me what line i need to edit to change the FOV to 140 as there are a few lines but noit sure please see pic below
