Installed the prober cables you said below, the center screen shows as usual but the other two just remain black.

I run the Ati software Catalist shown below but only 2 screens show. Tried all the variables in it without success. Uninstalled & installed the drivers 2-3 times. Don't know what to ...

Then I connected that S-DVI-D cable to the HTMI socket on the card & both screens now show OK.

Hopefully when I get 2 proper DVI cables & connect them to the DVI sockets of the card & the monitors I may get all 3 screens working.

With your help folks am geting there slowly. ............nick

Good news,

Managed to run FSX OK with different drivers from the CD in the box.

I am geting there bit by bit.

I have an S-DVI-D cable & tried it but shows nothing on the screen, & is OK with my VGA one + adaptor the card side. .......nick

OK thanks,

one obstacle over, which the vendors could not clear, now I must find out why FSX did not want to start with one monitor on ATI 5770 Flex installed.

Fantastick,

Surely cannot be ...

Sorry I must have misinformed you unintentionally, with my remark

Sorry but please disregard above requests for help.

Overclockers verified to me:-

1. that Ati Radeaon 5770 Flex will run FSX, it does not !!.

2. that all cables needed for 3 screens are in the box, none usable was found, & 4 cables needed extra £100.

Thanx Ghostwire,

The vendor, Overclockers, promised that all necessary cables for 3 screens are in the box but there is nothing usable in the sealed box.

Could you please use "idiot's approach" to show me which cables I should use & what type of plug/socket should be in each end, as I am ...

I got the 5770-Flex to use 3 monitors for fsx.

Thanx,
I visited Maplin, el.shop in UK, for an Ati 5 series, they have the 5770 £125, but they suggested that I stay with my GeForce 9800 GTX (PCI-E) & buy a "SVAG 4 way splitter" £45, to come out of the VGA socket & into 2 of my dell monitors, & the 3rd monitor out of other socket of the Grfx ...
