IL-2 on Right Two Monitors Only?

[SwimCoach]

I'm running in 5040x1050. Other games are fine.

I've set up IL-2 both using SGU and manually referring to other posts here. Either way, it's running on the right two screens only, but it thinks it's running in 5040 (i.e., I can move the mouse off the right hand side of the screen and it will keep going). Has anyone experienced this on IL-2 or any other game?

Figured it out. IL-2 was picking up the preference from desktop management and starting up in the middle monitor. When I set programs to start up in the left monitor, IL-2 issue resolved.

how do you tell the program to open in a specific monitor?

Hi

Thanks for sharing the solution. I too had the same thing happen when I tried IL-2. I didn't look for a fix as I have been playing Rise of Flight lately.
Anyway, now I know what to do when I do decide to play again.

Hi OppressioN and welcome to WSGF :)
I am not exactly sure myself, but it must be in the software, somewhere. Check the Help file. Maybe some information in there.

Right click the desktop and go to properties and the Settings tab. Select the leftmost monitor and check the 'This is my main monitor' box and hit Apply.

You get the start menu etc moved over to the left screen too, but it means Il-2 works properly.


Does anyone know how to get the three renders working (as opposed to one render stretched over three screens with the associated distortion at the edges)? There's an option in the cfg, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks Crashgate3
That's not how mine is with Vista/TH2Go though. It did cause me to look around some though and I found out how to fix it.

For me I had to do it through PowerDesk > Desktop Management > Center dialog boxes and message boxes: In display 1-[1,1]
Now IL-2 is playing correctly on all three.

I'll have to hook up my flight gear now and check it out. It's been a while since I have played it and never with TH. Should be a nice experience ;)
