G,day Guys,,, Suffering trying to get multi monitor setup again after a considerable layoff and a new OS. BS, patched to 1.01c, Win 7, 1920x1080 lcd tv as main, 1680x150 monitor as the second. And yes have been back and re-read all the posts, not exactly a newbie to it but the change from XP to win 7 has me stumpped..Anybody got a similar setup.? Thanks in advance, i know its painfull..:music_whistling:

[-archer-]

Cheers Archer,, Not showing on second screen at all,,Multiplayer not stretched across both screens as a check, On start I still see the start up screen with the cockpit jambed up against one side, buggered if i can figure it out, just not sure if the issue is between the diff resoultions between monitor and TV.. Dont recall that being an issue with XP.. if you dont mind helping i will post config lua and monitor stuff..Thanks for ya time..

Running it in Windowed mode? Windows 7 doesn't support display spanning like XP did, so you have to run in Windowed mode... (Unless you're using TH2Go, Eyfinity or Nvidia surround)

Please....:thumbup: Win 7 64, 32" main 1920x1080 and 22" 1680x1050,, Set to "extend onto" The idea being I wanted the shiv and Abris on the 22 to my left with the main 32 centre. Tried in windowed,not windowed, placed these 2 files in the C\programs(x86) ect ect as I had seen that win 7 looks there for them other than install root,,, just cant get it.. With this config as it is i get nothing on the 22 and on the 32 I get left with the splash screen with the game jambed up against the right hand side of the 32 about 1/5th the screen..

Your options.lua is a mess....I'm posting from my phone...I'll post in the morning if none else jumps on it. Your total res should be 3600x1080

[Kuky]

Try this

 

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = 1.77777777;

}

 

Shkval =

{

x = 1920;

y = 0;

width = 840;

height = 1050;

}

 

ABRIS =

{

x = 2760;

y = 0;

width = 840;

height = 1050;

}

And in Options LUA:

["width"] = 3600,

["height"] = 1080,

["resolution"] = "1920x1080",

in windows display setup set 32" to the left and 22" on the right Edited January 25, 2011 by Kuky

G,day kuky,,,cheers for the assist. Airdog, cheers m8,,appreciate it. Seems with the changes as made by kuky, the Abris has appeared on my main screen on the right hand side full 1080 deep (looks great, but makes it tough to fly,,lol), no shv and no action on the second monitor. Agreed with Airdog,,that file is a mess..So if ya can stand it, some more assistance would be great. Is this line needed on the monitor LUA with ver 1.01 (_ = function(p) return p; end;) on the top of it?

 

Thanks boys..

[Kuky]

ah sorry, I made a few mistakes also, try my previos post again please
