BS-1.0.1c / 2 video cards / win7-64bits / 3 monitors

[fred99]

Hello guys,

 

I have just installed my new computer and I am trying to make my 3 monitors setup work with BS. I have tried searching the forums but most of what I can find is only for 2 monitors.

 

Here is the spec:

 

Windows 7 64-bits

DCS:BS 1.0.1c

1 x Radeon HD 3870 PCI-e

1 x Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512

3 x Viewsonic 20" (1680x1050 on each of them)

1 x TrackIR 4

 

 

From what I have read, I understand I must run BS in Windowed mode, since Vista/7 has a limitation that block fullscreen.

 

I have started to mess around with options.lua and 3monitors.lua (my own config) to make it work. I have manage to get something on the Center and Right monitors, but nothing for the Left one. Here is the content of the files:

 

options.lua

...
["height"] = 1050
["resolution"] = "5040x1050",
["multiMonitorSetup"] = "3monitors"
["aspect"] = 4.8
["width"] = 5040
...

 

3monitors.lua

Description = '3 Monitors Fred'
Viewports =
{
Left =
{
x = -1680;
y = 0;
width = 1680;
height = 1050;
viewDx = -1;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1.60000;
}
Center =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1680;
height = 1050;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1.60000;
}
Right =
{
x = 1680;
y = 0;
width = 1680;
height = 1050;
viewDx = 1;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1.60000;
}
}

 

Please help!

 

Do I need to work with SoftTH? My 3 monitors were working fine on XP SP3 32-bits.

Can't you make the left display your main screen and then have x,y

0,0

1680,0

3360,0 ?

not sure that negatives work...

This is something I could try when I get home. But if this means I must have my desktop icons / start menu / primary monitor on my left, this is not a viable solution for me.

That worked, but again was only working on 2 monitors.

 

I have my setup working well using SothTH:
