Need help getting FC2 working in Eyefinity @ 5760X1200

[Loz]

OK guys. My setup is in my Sig below and in addition I am running Catalsyt 10.3a WHQL video drivers.

}

 

Notice the viewDy = 0.2

Config\View\SnapView.lua

 

(only showing here the changes to Snap[7][13])

 

Snap[7][13] = {}

Snap[7][13]["y_trans"] = 0

Snap[7][13]["x_trans"] = 0

Snap[7][13]["z_trans"] = 0

Snap[7][13]["vAngle"] = -26.802588915303

Snap[7][13]["rollAngle"] = 0

Snap[7][13]["viewAngle"] = 250

Snap[7][13]["hAngle"] = 0.17090886831283

 

The big change here is to the "viewAngle" = 250 which was origionaly -9.5 ??

Some of these have possibly been made from in game changes to default KP5 view.

 

Note that I haven't made any (that I know of) changes to any of the other aircraft and haven't tried any of them in Eyefinity yet.

 

Try these for yourself but with the usual health warining. Back up your origional .lua's before changing.

Here are three screenshots showing the effect.

 

 

 

As for a video, I'll try but not sure whether it'll work.

[Loz]

Ok Got a short video together here.

 

 

Firstly it's not brilliant quality, but the file size would be so large otherwise.

Seconly on watching, the clipping that takes place in the peripheral screens is far more evident than when in game. If you watch with your focus of attention being on the centre third of the screen you will get the proper impression.

But what it does show is that I have achieved a full panning view of both inside and out. Which is what I was after.

 

Now I have moved on to some of the missions I find that the centre of view is different again and hasn't carried over from the quick mission which is shown here.

Does anybody know why that is?

Do the missions use different view, sever or snapview lua's??

 

Edit: Further research and not all missions have the same "Head Point." Just found one, ie the practice bombing, that is the same as the "Quick Start"

Loz - can you look down to the bottom of the cockpit OK with your configuration? My problem with Matrox is I can not see further down than the top of the joystick.

[Nate--IRL--]

Do the missions use different view, sever or snapview lua's??

 

Some do, some don't, the alternate lua files are found in the mission miz file itself. Open up a miz file with winzip or similar to see what's included.

 

Nate

 

Edit:- I have deleted all the included lua files inside my miz files (they also interfere with 6DoF) with no noticeable problems. Backup your mission files before you do this.

[Loz]

For JimMack

yes I didn't show that in the short video but here is a still looking fully down with TrackIR.

 

[Loz]

For Nate

Thanks for that I shall have a look at those mission miz files.

[kludger]

In case it helps I'm using the following settings successfully on my Eyefinity at 6000x1080 (bezel compensated 5760x1080), note most settings were borrowed from an earlier SoftTH Thread from S77th_RIKE/Kegetys with a couple tweaked for my own needs.

 

I uploaded the modified view config .lua files here (with backups of the original files in case they are needed):

http://www.filefront.com/16236877/FC2-Eyefinity.zip

 

YMMV, make a backup of your FC2 files just in case there's a problem.

[XysteR]

I actually had it all sussed. I had it working perfectly in 5760X1200. 1 screen, full TrackIR5 motion. But, i've recently installed Windows 7 ultimate and have to start all over again as my backup files from within the FC2 folder mysteriously vanished lol. Here we go again :D
