Eyefinity FOV issue

[monsterZER0]

Ok, i've definitely gotten eyefinity to work with DCS before, but I just reinstalled after about 6 months away and it is not working at all. I did a quick search and I can't seem to find the fix I used previously (i'm pretty sure I found it on this forum or possibly SimHQ).

 

My resolution is 6048x1080 (with ATI's bezel management), and in DCS when I select that res and '1 screen' in the options screen, the center monitor is fine but the side monitors skew at awkward angles when I look around (trackir) making it all but impossible to play.

 

On the other hand, when I select '3 screens', all three monitors are perfectly aligned but my FOV is so close it's like I have my face slammed up against the HUD, lol...

 

I'm using the weird aspect ratio that the game defaults to at my res (5.6), because I remember that was important. When I change it to any thing else really strange things start happening, like the image flips completely upside down in-game.

 

Any suggestions, or maybe someone can shoot me a link to the fix?

 

Thanks!

What's your fps?

I found the fix:). Man it was driving me crazy, cause there's a bunch of fixes out there, but the one I was thinking of was just a simple value change in one of the .lua files and i just couldn't find it. Definitely gonna write this down in case of another reinstall.

 

 

Anyway, the fix (that works for me, at least) is:

 

in the 'snapviews.lua' file, located in config/view, change the following value:

 

Snap[2][13]["viewAngle"] = 219.777544238285

 

 

@BaD CrC - I've never checked my exact framerate in game, but it's always playable. I never noticeably slow down. I'll check w/Fraps tonite and let you know...

 

Graphics maxed out (minus heat blur), Core i5, 4Gb Ram, HD 5850 1GB, 3 1900x1080 monitors running a combined (w/Bezel Compensation) 6048x1080.
