3-monitor setup only displays on center monitor

[bad_turbulence]

I agree. While my screens FOV was corrected with little displacement, it obviously has problems on other aircraft. DCS will have to make internal changes and offer new Options for it to work correctly (like in X-Plane 11).

 

Thanks for your input.

any luck since your last go-round with this? i have 3 1440p but mine are only 60Hz as opposed to 144Hz. I tried Helios with a 4th monitor but it borked my setup (my inexperience at fault and my system called me out on the resolution being so high). 8960x1440

But back to just the basic three screen right now. My setup works pretty good with 2 1440 and one 1920 to get to 7040 (i have a 1440p on the blink so this is temporary). so im at 1.777777777777778 (that's 14 7's) and its very workable.

7040 x 1440 (right screen is partial due to being a 1920x1080

PC Specs: 6800K 4.0Ghz , 2080Ti (not overclocked, just standard founders edition), 32GB, 3 27" PB278Q (1 touchscreen 1980x1024 15.6" screen (not current used - only in x-plane), would love to get it working with Helios - F-16C F/A 18 Hornet perhaps (or what anyone would suggest)....but i have lots to do to get the configuration correct. might be too much to ask the 2080Ti to do. thx all

Hey pilots,

I just followed the fantastic guide here and it works perfect. Just a question regarding performance. What is graphic setting within DCS with 3x 2560x1440? Im really low on FPS (30-40)

I have same setup, what have you found is a good configuration at the graphics settings and also settings in 3D settings of your nVidia card?

Hi all I am new to DCS and I am struggling to get my 3 screens to work properly. I am using Nvidia surround with bezel correction which is working fine. The problem I have is that the cockpit image is getting enlarged across the 3 screens and I am not sure what I have done wrong. I have connected one Ipad to test and its working as an mfd.

 

I have spent 2 days trying to understand and fix this but now its time to ask for help. I have attached files that I hope will reveal to you what's going wrong. Help please.

That's normal. With nVidia surround you're creating one logical display out of three monitors. To DCS those three screens are only one. The program is completely unaware of the hardware. Surround is the only way (that I know) to use multiple monitors and fullscreen at the same time. The 5:4 aspect ratio might be contributing.

Personally, unless you really like nVidia surround for other reasons I wouldn't use it for DCS. Instead I'd just run DCS windowed (not fullscreen) and make a slightly altered 3camera MonitorSetup for bezel correction. It looks like you have additional screens so you could extend the canvas by a few more pixels (256 or 512) laterally and get your MFD slices out of that.

Hi I'm new. Got 3x 1080 monitors working but the fov is all messed up. For example when flying tf51 the wings are visible in the L and R monitors and the wings are swept fwd. Any Ideas?

[Frederf]

There is a value for angle of the left/right viewports. The default is -1 +1 radians which is about 57°.  That might be a bit too much if it feels like the wings are swept forward. Try maybe +- 0.5.
