hannibal Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 ok guys. i am on windows 7 need help from the mulit monitor experts. i have been out of the loop for a couple of months. if i have a monitor @ 1024x768, and a monitor @ 1920x1080, im just wondering what would be the parameters for the config files that would allow me to have the viewport / camera display on the monitor @ 1920x1080, and the shkval displayed on the monitor @ 1024x768... a) what does i have to in windows? i.e. extend desktop for one of the monitors, or put it to the left, or right or top of the primary, etc.. b)parameters for graphics.cfg c)parameters for options.lua d)parameters for .lua multi monitor file.. e)full screen or windowed mode... details, please.. will appreciate lots... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
JG14_Smil Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Extend the desktop to the second monitor in Win7 (right side of main monitor) graphics.cfg does not change. Add the 1024 to 1920. That is your screen width. Divide by 1080 for Aspect ratio of 2.7259. Tell BS to use your multi monitor lua file. <options.lua> You want camera to stay at 1920 x1080 and Shkval to start at X 1920, Y 0, W 1024, H 768. <camera+shkval.lua> you make this file. Shkval will look funky at 1024x768. You can set H and W to get the shkval looking more lik the real one by using a smaller height. You can move it up and down in the second monitor if you change the Y number. You wont be able to see the MP screens with the second monitor a different resolution. Send a note to ED telling them to fix the MP GUI. you'll have to run windowed mode. this has been covered add nauseum. Edited November 24, 2009 by JG14_Smil
ddahlstrom Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Just a quick note. I actually run my second monitor below (virtually speaking) the primary display. This has the advantage of keeping the comms menus on the main screen as well as allowing display of gauges in cockpitless view.

Gadroc Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I have been able to run at a solid 30fps with my multimonitor config. I posted my config in BadCRCs pit thread a few days ago.
BaD CrC Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Strange, it seems like I still need Phantom monitor fix to have my multi monitor config working in 1.01. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden

No I am not running phantom monitor fix. I got Black Shark right after the patch came out. It was very confusing at the time because all the documentation said you needed it, but my config always worked properly with out it. I'm running a Q9550 oc'd to 3.6Ghz and a GTX 275.
