goon3r Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hey guys, I just started running eyefinity today @ 5760 x 1080. I've noticed that with Eyefinity enabled the GUI seems to launch in windowed mode and doesn't center on the screen. Whenever I click a menu the screen seems to jump to another display but its always off centered. The simulation launches and plays fine, its just the GUI that I have this problem with. I think this is something that started with 1.02 but I don't know if there is a setting somewhere that I can edit. Its happening with FC2 as well. Would appreciate any help! See the attached screenshot.
goon3r Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 I was able to make the following changes to lines 245 and line 246 in the blackshark.lua file. So at least the GUI stays on the center screen. Still haven't been able to get it to go fullscreen though, but I'm not having problems clicking on buttons like I was before so I'm kinda happy. The resolution of my center monitor is 1920 x1080, the setting below is a little smaller than that but the gui isn't hiding behind the taskbar anymore. if fullscreen then main_w = 1800; main_h = 900; end;
Xxx Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, I dont have an eyefinity set up yet, however as you can see by the below two threads, I am interested in setting up Black Shark on Eyefinity:- http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68233 and:- http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68529 If we can put together a comprehensive list of the settings needed to run BS, perhaps it could be stickied. At the moment it seems you have to hunt through numerous threads to get all the information! From what I have read, the GUI will spread across all three monitors. How are you finding the sim? There may ( or may not ) be a couple of other lua's to edit? But thats what I would like to determine. Regards.

goon3r Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 For the most part getting the simulator to work well in Eyefinity has been easy, its just the GUI that has been giving me problems. My 5850 is giving me about 30-40fps. My Blackshark Install was at 1.01 for over a year as I had not been playing that much. I only upgraded to 1.02 yesterday when I got Eyefinity running. I think there are some differences in the way multimonitor works from the patches so keep that in mind. My option/settings are 3 screens, 5760 x 1080, FullScreen. The only changes I have made to my view.lua file was to reduce the CameraViewAngleLimits. I changed mine to CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, 110.0} That was all I had to do so far, I do agree with you about having to search for information. Initially I took bits and pieces of information from different threads but turned out it was much simpler than I expected to get Eyefinity working.
