I have been racing for several years with the North American Grand Prix League driving their various mods for SimBin's GTR2. The racing is good-natured with a great group of guys of all skill levels. It is clean and well-organized. I prefer to race in the Saturday leagues using the ALMS Mod. There ...

Bushmaster,

Thank you for taking the time to write your extremely informative post.

Cheers!

GTR2 is an older title that dates from 2006. The HUD and interface were not completely optimized for triple monitors. The HUD and interface issue on triple screens has been looked at closely by the sim racing community over the past few years. There has been no solution to date.

The newer title ...

And you may already have a buyer for your 22s:

Hey guys and gals...

Hi, Guys,

After reaching a zenith with the motorsports features of my cockpits last month:



I turned my attention to the aviation features, and this is the result:





It is a huge improvement because now I can stay eyes outside with frequent crosscheck of the "glass ...

I ordered 2 of these (2 just because/in case I wanted/needed a 2nd):

I'll let you know how they work after I try them. I'm pretty sure that's all you'll need to go from a miniDP to DP ...

Noted. Thanks for the info.

I use the Corsair H50 CPU cooler in my builds, more for noise reduction than for increased cooling capacity. I tend not to overclock.

Doesn't matter how you've got it cooled - heat dump into the air is still the same (actually, it should be better with watercooling) so the room would get just as hot as fast or faster with watercooling. Watercooling isn't this magical thing that makes things draw less energy or get more efficient ...

Myself and others agree with your sentiments for the 16:10 format:

My problem with 16:9 is that the way they get 16:9 is by cutting off resolution off of a 16:10 monitor. Now if they added more pixels (kinda like how they go ...

I want that extra width while playing in portrait.


Maybe the OP wants extra portrait width when the monitor is rotated to portrait mode. In portrait, 1200x1920 > 1080x1920.

Although not quite 27 inches in size, NEC makes two 26", 1920x1200 monitors. The second model, part of NEC's ...

I chatted with Dell Singapore thru the Dell website:

Last weekend I was shopping for gear in Hong Kong at the Golden Arcade electronics center. I went to the Dell dealer and asked about the U2410 Ultra Sharp. The sales rep said the Dell U2410 is discontinued in Hong Kong, which is surprising and disappointing.

I looked at several of Dell's ...

16:9 is horrible. Producers should stop pretending a computer is a TV. It works for TVs. PC's have this extra 'taskbar' thingy at the bottom, so it takes a few extra pixels. And plenty of other bars that require some space for that matter.

Also, a 1920x1080 display, which is sold horribly ...

I much prefer 3 x 16:10 and the increased vertical pixels for gaming and when using my setup as a workstation.

Documents, photos, spreadsheets, and telemetry display much better using the extra vertical screen space. Immersion is also better with more pixels filling my vertical field of view.

Your setup is looking good!

Have you considered running the sim in windowed mode stretched across your triple monitors? This may allow you to access the telemetry info on your secondary (touchscreen) monitor while keeping the sim maximized in the triple monitors.

CodeMasters have released a thread addressing the issues concerning AI behavior and timing:

the Matrox TH2Go may still be relevant and useful for Mac users.

Real time self-adjusting difficulty seemed to work well in the Max Payne shooters. I guess the equivalent of that auto-difficulty for a racing game is rubber-banding, scripted AI behavior, and altered lap times for AI to give gamers a continuous on-screen challenge in a casual way. It seems that its ...

Every time I watch a youtube video of someone with 3 30 inchers I pitch a tent in my pants. I feel lucky to even have my 3 23's

suiken, are you trying to give Slinky 2/3rds of a woody with photos of your setup? :lol:
