| I just want to confirm that a GTX 680 can be connected to three Dual Link DVI-D monitors (without any HDMI nor DisplayPort inputs on the monitors) without any problem. That is, with a standard GTX 680, having Standard Display Connectors of "One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One HDMI, On... |

Follow the "View Product Capability" PDF. He writes "This gives longer extension [than even the EVO 5645s]". ... |

| INTRO As far as I know there are two monitor stand models that are best for a triple monitor setup: 3 x Innovative EVO 5645 (year 2005 model). http://www.lcdarms.com/products/LCD_Radial_Arms/5645-08-CM.html and 1 x Ergotech Heavy Duty Triple Stand (Model ID: 100-D16-B03). http://www.ergotechgroup.co... |

You want, in general: * Top row: 3 screens to display outside view as one continuous scene (rather than forward plus port plus starboard view). * Bottom row: 3 screens to display instruments in 2D. * Hardware controllers (eg throttle, MCP pro... |

George, the obvious thing for you and I to do would be to create a Zip of panel.cfg files for all the default aircraft, tweaked for triplehead, and make this publicly available.
I'm not sure how much time I have, at the moment. However, what do you think? |

| For the Air Creation Trike I use "window_size=0.330,1.0" "window_size=0.333,1.0" didn't work for me. So the new rule to add is: If 1/3 doesn't work, try a little under 1/3. I can undock (move and resize) all the main and subpanels. If you ever invoke the crazy cursor, through a mistaken panel.cfg ed... |

| Yes, for most aircraft setting the main panel [Window00] from 1.00 to 0.333 is enough to get you started. That is normally enough to stop the crazy cursor. Thereafter you can generally resize the sub panels, as you have been describing, then save the whole result as a flight. Some aircraft, however,... |

| Hi Tom, Yeah don't touch "size_mm=". I can't get my head around that either. Adjusting this makes adjusting other values difficult. What aircraft are you editing? What resolution are you using (5040 x 1050)? You probably don't need to adjust the height component of window_size. Remember having three... |

| Hi darren, Does the solution presented in Problem With TripleHead2Go and FSX 2D View help? That problem caused a 7-8 fps drop. After applying the fix in that thread I get between 29fps down to 15fps (in complex airports etc) via TH2GO at 5040 x 1050. Mostly 29 fps. I'm using a GTX260 896GB card. I d... |

| Aix, Yes Cygone would have made a typo. 1680x1050 res at 57Hz is what you need to test for to confirm compatibility with TripleHead2Go Digital Edition. (3 X 1680) X 1050 = 5040 X 1050. I'm glad that this test worked for you! |

AussieTimmeh, It was hard for me to find. From the On Screen Display might it be under "Manual Image Adjust" ?
maherie, thanks for the tip off that NRMA members receive a discount. |
