MadTommy Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Post up your full multimonitor lua file and maybe a screenshot of your in game options page.... that will help. i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

airdog Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 A screenshot of your windows monitor setup page would help to...or wherever you setup your multimonitors for windows...Nvidia Control panel or CCC if you run ATI.

I have found the the sim seems to like vertical resolutions to be the same.

siefex Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi all, I wanted to know if the following multi-monitor configuration is possible to setup. I want to use eyefinity to create a 5760x1200 resolution spanning three monitors and then use 1 or 2 other monitors to display my MFCDs. Will windows / the ATI CCC allow me to extend my desktop onto one or two extra monitors in addition to my eyefinity monitors? Also, since I only have 5 video connectors on the back of my primary XFX 6950 and I want to connect up to 6 monitors, can I connect the sixth monitor to my second crossfired 6950? If I cannot, do you have a suggestion of how I should connect the sixth monitor? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 In case anyone else is getting frustrated like I was trying to setup multi monitor with DCS crashing on every flight attempt, DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF FULL SCREEN :) But NOT if you are trying to use Crossfire, as that doesn't work in a window!! Your crashing problems are coming from elsewhere IMHO. Hi all, Will windows / the ATI CCC allow me to extend my desktop onto one or two extra monitors in addition to my eyefinity monitors?

If I cannot, do you have a suggestion of how I should connect the sixth monitor? Thanks for the help. Yes you can run additional monitors to an eyefinity setup (I have an additional 23 inch touchscreen running of a seperate video card) and windows will recognise them, DCS will only output to them when run in windows mode (ie: NOT fullscreen) I don't have the 6950 but I've been looking at them and the 6970 and although you have 5 connectors the native support from one of those cards only supports output to 4 Monitors. The HDMI connection is shared internally with one of the DVI connections. (incidentally when running Crossfire you do not get any output out of the second card, as far as I'm aware.) And whilst, you will eventually be able to run 6 Screen eyefinity, you need a DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport converter, which are not yet available or a display port 1.2 enabled monitor to daisy chain the output. Good explanation here and a bit more technical here Hope this helps but sorry if I've shattered a 6 screen hope (for now anyway) i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

At the moment the dialog is right in the middle of both screens... From that I gather that you are running both monitors in a vertical setup?! As you must be running in window mode just alter your total y res to something less and then you can use your mouse to move the screens either up or down to avoid the clash.

Sinister Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Are most of you running the additional monitors to be used at MFD's .. or are you using the additional monitors to give you a LARGER Viewing area ( resolution) ? Thats basically what I would rather use it for...just to increase my resolution to 3840x 1024.. anyone have success with this ?

milit Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Trying to set MFCDs on additional 800x600 monitor i performed everything as written in post #1. But reached no success. After creating new .lua-file, no new item in MONITOR droplist appeared. Then i changed "3 monitors" preset file, but no changes i planned happened again. It seems that multimonitor settings corresponds not with \Config\MonitorSetup folder. Or maybe i missed anything? Please advise! Beta4.

kingpinda Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Weird.. i tried tried and tried. I had this same problem with black shark... 2 displays. left secondary for mfcds and right Main screen. Tried negative coordinates, tried the left monitor starting with xy 0,0 but nothing on left screen shows up. A few others in this thread have the same problem. So now each time I play I go to control panel resolution and drag my left screen over to the right whereas my main screen starts with xy 0,0 Works sort of. Only from time to time i can't find my mouse :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
