Kenpilot Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 My setup for DCS and Helios was working fine last year. I had to stop playing for a while and installed the Helios updates tonight, and now its not working correctly. I'm pretty sure its a Windows Display/Nvidia setting issue or a monitor issue in Helios. Hopefully someone that has a similar setup can help me out. I have a total of 4 displays: 3 Projectors and 1 seperate monitor. The 3 projectors are warped using FlyElise and are displayed on a wrap around 270 degree screen. The seperate monitor is what I project Helios on. I know before when everything was working, the Windows Display Settings showed 2 displays, one wide display (The 3 projectors using NVidia Surround I believe) and one small display, the seperate monitor. I thought I somehow was able to have all 4 displays showing being used in the Windows Display Settings and/or Nvidia, but yet only enabling surround for the 3 projectors which would then leave the 4th display by itself. I can't get that to happen again for whatever reason. It either allows me to select 3:1 for displays and enable surround using those, but then it doesn't recognize the 4th display, or I have to select 4:1 and it enables surround for all of them, which I don't think that's what I need. And then when I go in to Helios, it only shows the 1 wide screen. It won't recognize the second screen, where I put my Helios profile. I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help me get my setup back and running again! Thanks in advance!!

les Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Hi, were you able to solve this? I have the exact same setup. I'm using fly-elise to warp / blend the 3 projectors. I can get Helios to display the dashboard and analogue instruments but the mfd's only appear if I set dcs resolution to include the instrument monitor.....but then of course the warping is all wrong!! For your problem , I think go to Nvidia surround, select your projectors. Then go back up a level - on the left there's an option called multi monitor settings or similar.....in there you can turn the 4th screen back on. I think that's how I did that part

I'm not sure if I wrote down the solution, hopefully I did, but if I didn't, now I have your response to help. Thanks again!

les Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Hi- I have a new problem !! Wonder if you came across this- I now can't get the mfd's to display on the monitor, they are up in the top left of the left side projector image! The rest of the Helios display is all good. I tried setting the dcs resolution to include the monitor but then I get the main projector display messed up!!! Used to run fine so I'm not sure what I've accidentally changed!! Cheers Les

Cheers Les Hey Les, sorry for the late reply. I'll take a look at my settings later today and let you know what they are. I know it took me a lot of trial and error experimenting basically before I got everything to work right. It definitely wasn't a step by step how to in how to do it right that's for sure. But if we have the same setup, I'm sure my settings should work for you as well. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, please feel free to reach back out and give me a kick in the ass. I know how frustrating all of this can be to try and get everything to work right!

les Posted Sunday at 02:55 PM Posted Sunday at 02:55 PM Thanks mate, Much appreciated - still can't quite figure it out! If I set thf dcs monitor option to 'helios' then i get the mfd's in the right place, but no screen warping. If I set it to the fly Elise option then I get screen warping back but the mfd's up on the main display rather than with the rest of the instruments on the monitor!
