OK, all seems to be working, except for one thing. If anybody here is using Flight Simulator X successfully with this fix, I'd appreciate your inputs about it.

First, my specs:

Win7 64 Home Premium
i7 975 @4.0GHz
12GB DDR3 1666
GTX285 driver 196.21
3 Dell 2209WA monitors
TH2G ...

Guys, I'm at my wits end here. I have followed the steps in the first post (and the longer ones in the 5th (?) post), and can't get this to work. I don't know if it has to do with any of the following, but here's what's happeneing, and I just don't know how to fix it after over 5 solid hours of ...

OK, this one just threw me. I got a new i7 with a GTX285 and Win7 installed. I hooked up my analog TH2G with my three 19" monitors to one of the GTX ports, and connected a 4th 27" monitor to the second port (this was my configuration on my "old" computer). I then booted the new computer expecting to ...

Never fear, its coming...

Dave,

To be fair to you and the community, based on a previous reply from you I did some research (more) on the ATI vs nVidia GPU issue as it relates to the Flight Simming community (for FS9 and FSX mainly). I did see where there are reports now that the 5800 ...

Simply put, if you go with nVidea, you weren't getting your money's worth anyway.

If I went with ATI, Flight Simulator ran like a dog. Why would I build a "gaming" computer for Flight Simulator with all the latest technology in it, then put in a GPU that performed worse than a competitor's GPU ...

So the nVidia solution requires two cards for three monitors and someone here is far happier to spend that amount on gpus that will be superceeded in six months/a year rather than the single card option and spend the difference on monitors that will last far longer?

That's kind of a rediculous ...

You will need two cards in SLI.

Oh heck...I thought that was only required for the 3D side of it. But even if that is true, buying a second GTX285 would still be a viable option...IF it all worked without the hassles associated with the Digital TH2G and the 57Hz requirement for three 24 ...

As has been stated earlier in this thread, different people may use this technology different ways. I, for one, have no desire to use the 3D part of the technology. Not that it may not be good...it just doesn't work for me. My eyes won't accommodate it. I have Ambliopia, which is the technical term ...

Phantom,

Thanks for the above recommendation. I took a look at them and they seem good. Question I have about them...are you running them side by side with third-party monitor arms? Reason I ask is the stands they come with aren't adjustable, so the monitors can't be re-aligned, etc. How do ...

Mach1 and L2Phantom,

I posted a (rather lengthly) post earlier today in the forum asking for clarification on the exact things discussed here. I totally missed this thread before my other post...my apologies on that. But it seems this thread contains the answers I was looking for...well, most ...

I've had the TH2G analog for almost 3 years now. Absolutely love it. I originally purchased 3 ViewSonic VP930b 19" monitors with it, and for the most part they served very well and my widescreen gaming experiences have been outstanding. The only problem with the VP930b's has been the backlights on ...

Tyinsar,

What are you using to mount your 6-monitor setup? I know there are mounts available, but I'm curious which one you use. I've been thinking of going the 6-monitor route also.

FalconAF (also in Las Vegas). :lol:

You can also use the "seat adjustment" options in conjunction with the FOV setting to fine tune a view. The 4 possible settings are:

Adjust Seat Fore
Adjust Seat Aft
Adjust Seat Up
Adjust Seat Down

Note these adjustments are originally "unmapped" in the sim. You need to assign ...

Mark,

Per the basic request of the poll, here you go:

1. Flight Sims
2. Racing Sims
3. (I could really care less about the others. I don't use them).

The above said, my main concern about this "poll" is the direction it is taking. Please tell me that you aren't going to determine ...
