3 monitor resolution went from 5040x1050 to 5040x1058

[fitness88]

I DCS options any idea what made my resolution for 3 monitor setup go from 5040x1050 to 5040x1058? If I choose 5040x1050 the middle screen does not cover the task bar and my right monitor has a 1/8" gap at the top of the screen which allows a sliver of the desktop to show.

 

Thank you.

Hello, I have the same problem my monitors/40in LCD TV's 1920x1080 for each should result as 5760x1080. But its currently running at 5890x1080 with the aspect ration is 2.7268518518519. When I force it in to 5760x1080 I get the task bar and about a inch of the desktop on both sides of the outer screens far edges. So Right now I have the all 3 screens in NVidia surround with bezel correction. When I check res in Nvidia control panel is shows the 5890x1080 resolution. SO my question is do you have the desktop in surround with bezel correction? I think that is the cause of the different resolution setting for me.

Not in surround I tried surround but didn't like the camera effects on the left and right monitors, poor quality. I do bezel correction through C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup. If you need further info on where and how let me know how much your bezels are off from L/C/R monitors.

By using 5040x1058 instead of 5040x1050 it works perfectly. I think it may be because I had to change my center monitor from 1920x1080 to 1680x1050 as my left and right are 1680x1050.

Ok I didn't know you could correct bezel thru /monitorsetup. I am actually running pretty good with no issue. You might be right on the theory changing you center monitor causing the difference. It is also on your height of the display and my difference is in the width. Funny I had bought these 3 40in TV's all the same but couldn't use surround cause the timings were off. had to manually adjust timings with custom resolution in NVidia control panel. I am also running Bitshift's virtual cockpit exporting the MFCD's to a 23 inch monitor with cougars mounted on the screen.. I tired some different monitor LUA's but after I found the right setting DCS stop recognizing the custom LUA's I had put in there. So I would be interested on how to correct the bezel thru monitor setup is there a read on it? Thanks

In red below are the values you need to adjust. The default is: viewDx = -1;

+/-.01-.02 should be all you need to adjust, more if it's really out by alot.

NOTE: the - sign for the left only

 

_ = 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 = -1.015;

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 = 1.015;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect / 3;

}

}
