BS using Matrox Triplehead 3840x1024

[BaD CrC]

I would like to thank the guys at DCS for such a jaw dropping sim. I've been waiting for something like this since Janes Longbow 2! (some decades ago) :cry:.

 

Anyway, I was even more pleased that BS worked straight to 3840x1024 resolution without ratio issue on my triple screens setup using Matrox triplehead and with great framerate :thumbup:

 

Here are some screenshots (reduced of course):

This looks awesome. Looking forward to a three monitor system as well...

Damn dude! Put up the full res!

[ACUTech]

One day, I'm gonna get me one of these :D

[Krippz]

Very very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

[G3]

good aren't they :thumbup:

I've just got 3 x 24" monitors ready, just waiting for the US-AU Dollar rate to improve and the TH2G will be on it's way :D

[Allo]

Has anyone tried the 3 camera view with the TH2G. I have and it is pretty cool. I think this view was specifically made for people with the TH2G. But I feel it is better suited to people with TH2G and projectors. Makes me feel a bit constricted. I need bigger monitors.

But yeah. If I had 3 projectors I would definitely set it up with 3 camera view.

Thanks guys.

@Beaker VBA: I'll upload some full res ss tonight.

 

@Highwayman Ed: Keep in mind that TH2G is limited to 3840x1024 max, ie 3 screens 1280x1024, typically 19 inches. I assume your three 24 inches have a higher res which is a pity if you use them in 1280x1024.

 

@Allo: I thought the 3 cameras view was made for rigs with 3 distincts screens? Maybe I misunderstood this feature. The TH2G is giving just a single huge 3840x1024 screen from XP point of view. Can you share some screenshots?

TripleHead2Go digital edition supports 3x 1680 x 1050 when connect to a dual-link DVI port: Matrox TripleHead2Go website.

 

But I think most 24" monitors have a 1920x1200 resolution....

[BaD CrC]

Ah OK, didn't know that (I have the analog version). Thanks for the info.

You're right, they are 1920x1200 native, but they scale down perfectly to 1680x1050 or even down as far as 1280x720. I have these 24" monitors because they scale so well and because of their size.

I don't think you misunderstood this feature. It probably is made for three distinct screens, but with the TH2G you don't lose SLI(from an XP point of view). So SLI might be the only advantage.

None?

 

And you have the Analog version right?

 

Man.. I got the digital version and have been having some issues with the ratio stuff..

 

found that the 1camera view at 3.75aspect is..

 

well too zoomed it..

 

Lost a lot of top and bot view but gain some side view i.e. peripheral vision

 

Which is nice..

 

I can now read all the buttons without my reading glasses! ;)

 

I have been playing around with the ratio..

 

I have 3x1280x1024

 

I find the shkaval+camera+abris view the best..

 

My left monitor displays the shkaval

My right monitor displays the abris

My center monitor displays the normal view..

 

And it's aspect ratio is perfect..

 

Basically the same view I had prior to TH2G but now I have dedicated shkaval and abris zoomed views to the left and right

Hi Tagert.

Yes, I have the analog version.

So it is possible to have the ABRIS+SKVAL+Cockpit display using the TH2GO?

[tronso]

Tagert, i you find the default view too zoomed in when using th2go, you might want to have a look at this:

I changed the view as explained there, and it's much better than the default.

 

I prefer wide fov over shkval/abris though...

 

Bad Crc: Yeah, it is possible, just choose shkval+camera+abris in the camera-options

[TAGERT]

Yes!

 

It is very cool!

 

Here is a pic

 

 

Those are my 3 monitors left to right..

 

The center monitor is fully TrackIR movable..

 

It works just like my orginal 1280x1024 single monitor I had before TH2G

 

The difference now is my LFT and RGT screen are ZOOMED views of the ABRIS and SKVAL

 

It is so much ezer to ID targets now and fly the NAV map!!

Brilliant!! Thanks for the screenshot Tagert!

I've got TH2Go with 3-19" Acer LCD monitors. Also have TrackIR. Can't imagine flying without them! Great stuff!

[BaD CrC]

Actually, I can't think flying without cougar + pedals + TrackIR + TH2Go + Voice recognition prog. The list is getting longer and longer. I'm even starting to build a pit....
