epokha Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Hi Everyone, I finally bought another videocard to get my 3 monitors going in landscape. I've been using this guide "How to properly setup multiple monitors in SoftTH" http://www.kegetys.fi/forum/index.php?topic=2966.0. I'd post in the SoftTH forum, but It seems a bit dead at the moment. *Hits head against keyboard* Can someone help me check my numbers. I'm not sure where i've gone wrong. According to my calculations these numbers should add up. From left to right 1360x768 1920x1080 1440x900 Physical width: 50cm + 54.9 + 41.7 = 57.716 inches x 96 = 5540 virtual pixels The monitors are lined up at the bottom. I'm getting the error message (SoftTH message window): "Head 1: sourceRect: (3994x0-5804x1008) Smiley is 8. outside render surface (5840x1080)." Heres the information I gathered according to the guide: 50cm + 54.9cm + 41.7cm = 57.716 inches x 96 = 5540 A) Horizontal resolution primary monitor: 1920 px B) Vertical resolution primary monitor: 1080 px C) Width viewport: 5540 px (step 2) D) Height viewport: 1080 px (vertical resolution primary monitor) E) Virtual width left outer monitor: 1810 px (step 3) F) Virtual height left outer monitor: 1008 px (step 3) G) Virtual width right outer monitor: 1546 px (step 3) H) Virtual height right outer monitor: 960 px (step 3) I) Virtual width bezel #1: 132 px (step 4) J) Virtual width bezel #2 132 px (step 4) my SoftTH config (Head 2 being left most monitor): [main] renderResolution=5540x1080 nonlocalFormat=RGB16D keepComposition=0 smoothing=1 debugD3D=0 zClear=1 vsync=0 tripleBuffer=0 screenshotFormat=jpg dllPathD3D9=auto dllPathDXGI=auto dllPathD3D11=auto [head_primary] sourceRect=1942,0,1920,1080 screenMode=1920x1080 [head_1] ; Autodetected as \\.\DISPLAY4 at ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series devID=1 sourceRect=3994,0,1810,1008 transportResolution=1440x900 transportMethod=auto noSync=0 fpsLimit=0 [head_2] ; Autodetected as \\.\DISPLAY6 at ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series devID=2 sourceRect=0,0,1810,1008 transportResolution=1360x768 transportMethod=auto noSync=0 fpsLimit=0 Any ideas? thanks all Edited May 16, 2013 by epokha AMD 3600X- 32GB RAM - Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2080Ti - 512GB NVme Samsung 830 256Gb 840 256Gb SSD - Track IR 4.0 + TrackClip Pro - Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog - WarBRD base mount and extention - Simped F16/USB (Stolen!) - Thrustmaster T-flight pedals (spew) DCS KA-50 Blackshark 1 & 2; DCS P-51 Mustang; DCS A-10C Warthog; DCS UH-1 Huey; DCS F-86F; DCS Mi-8MTV2; DCS Mig-21bis; DCS: AV-8b; DCS: Spitfire IX; DCS: NS430; DCS: Combined Arms; Lock On Flaming Cliffs 3; Rise of Flight; IL2:1946;
JG14_Smil Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Your resolution is 4720x1080. ratio is 4.37037037037 Delete your softhconfig file. Start DCS and it will create a new one with proper numbers. Use the softh config tool and make sure keep aero on is checked (if using Helios) and "don't render unused space" is checked. Make sure the tool points to your proper file. If you need bezel management, do it with the softTH tool. You cannot line monitors up at the bottom, it has to be the top. That is where zero is.

I need to compensate for the different dpi of the screens so thats why I have to mess around with virtual pixels. Just using the SoftTH tool, the results dont line up enough to be playable with my setup.
