E69_Chipi Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I would like to survey how many of the users have a triple screen set-up. I know we are a minority, but even minorities should be listened during developement, not only the noisiest guys out there. We don't wnt to add a feature that excludes or opposes to some other members, we just want our "little triple screen support" back, so we can upload videos to youtube playing BOS on triple screen so future customers can se how goddamm good it looks on a triple screen and myabe buy it, God try, uh? Thanks for voting Edited August 15, 2014 by Chipi
LoneMerc Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I used to have triple setup for EVE was great, I stopped playing it and used the monitors elsewhere. I might get a triple setup again for DCS and BOS if its supported but not a huge deal if not. Edited August 15, 2014 by LoneMerc
JimTM Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I have triple screen (voted) but I can run it with BoS at a lower resolution and AA off. For some reason, others are not so fortunate.
Matt Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I guess you guys have already tried to fiddle around with the startup.cfg? One of these settings for instance: adapter = 0 desktop_center = 1 mgpu_compatible = 0 2
kestrel79 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I run 3 screens for my flying and racing sims. Warthunder runs great on 3 screens! Would like to see more support in other games. We are out there.

HagarTheHorrible Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I run BoS on three screens, 3840 x 1024 (have used 5040 x 1050 in the past). It might be worth asking of those using a triplehead display, who is using the software option provided by their graphics card and who is using a hardware option like the TH2G. I use the latter and while things could be better (slightly magnified view on side screens) it does work, indeed BoS works better and more easily, than in DCS or Clod
DakkaDakkaDakka Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I have a triple monior setup and originally built the system with the intention of flying RoF and other flight sims across three screens. Over time, however, I found the triple screens were really more distracting than anything - with TrackIR it's easy enough to check from side to side, and the warping in my Eyefinity setup on the side monitors didn't make them so useful for spotting anything important. So at the end I went back to a single monitor setup and I'm happy as can be. On the plus side, I can keep one of the side monitors turned on to have a web browser open with server list, etc.

I mainly use triple screen to play Falcon BMS. I think that triple screens are extremely useful when flying tactical formations as a wingman. In BMS the whole spotting thing that is vital in WWII sims is not that important. Being able to keep track of my flight lead over the corner of my eye while I do my radar work is essential for good tactical flying, and the extended FOV is quite useful for those purposes. I guess that to fly offline or online as a singleton, the three screens do not add too much. Besides IMHO the "inmersion" is bigger because the horizon line fells more like a real horizon.

E69_Chipi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 well, I am perfecly aware that this is not a scientific research, but there are a FEW of us out there...
Half-DevilPorkChop Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I have Two screens but, thats not a option.
kestrel79 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 So far the % is more than I thought. But anyone who posts on a flight sim forum is only a small fraction of the total customer base of this sim. The majority probably don't even check the message boards.
RedBull Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I would love the game to support 3 screens, currenlty rocking 3 24's but looking into getting 3 1440p displays.

I would love to get a surround set of monitors one day, don't have space for them in my current apartment Edited August 21, 2014 by =LD=Penshoon
7./SchG.2_Nighthawk Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Is there something new on the "multimonitor" frontier? I bought me a very expensive triple monitor environment to play this game in 5760x1080 !!! Three 27" IPS LED Monitors + GPU. I dont play this in single monitor setting. NO - SIR!!! 1
Leo96 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I like triple screens , used it mostly for FSX stand alone . its too complicated to setup if the game does not come with this option. if the game does not support multi screen forget it !! , I had enough tweaking in my days with FSX and its cfg file. not going to do it anymore.
Snacko Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Is the problem with all of your triple screen setups that the game center is offset to one side or the other? And aircraft labels don't line up with the aircraft? This is my main problem. I have 3 monitors in nVidia Surround and 1 touchscreen. I was told by the devs that I needed to disable my 4th monitor to fix this. I disabled it in Windows, but it did not help. Here you can see that the labels are way off. And the further away an aircraft is, the further off they are. This game is unplayable. Are these the problems that other triple monitor players are having? Will this stuff be fixed? I read in the FAQ that they will support multi-monitors, but so far I don't see it... I prepaid for this, and now I am starting to worry that this won't be fixed, since they just told me to disable my 4th monitor...
javelina Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Single screen, using a Samsung 39" LED HDTV. (sure makes it much easier to spot the bogey/bandits at farther range).

Yep, same problem, and the 4th monitor is neither plugged in nor recognized by the system. The HUD indicators I could live without, and an offset camera is usually fixable, but apart from being offset it seems as though it remains focused there even when you look away, causing a huge amount of fisheye the moment you look anywhere except left. This renders the game practically unplayable, and is only fixed by using 3840x720, but only using 2/3 of the native resolution causes massive blurring. These photos are from the same viewpoint while only shifting the view to the right - yep, zero zooming involved. If it's not fixed once the game is approaching release I'm bloody well gonna ask for a refund, bit antsy about how it's a "low priority", because as we experience again and again the further into development something goes, the harder it gets to fix fundamental engine flaws like this.

I found after the latest update I could run 3840 x 900 which actually makes the blurring issue less of a problem, still not 5680 x 1080 but much better than previous working resolutions. Could actually read the HE-111 Compass and engine gauges from completely zoomed out in the cockpit.
7./SchG2_Simon_K Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 i am dissaapointed about this issue because sourround gaming (tripple monitor) was an announced feature it would be desirable when a devolper tells us that they try to fix this issue or if we have to live with this issue for an indefinite time it seems BOS have generally a problem with high resolutions 1
E69_Chipi Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 sourround gaming (tripple monitor) was an announced feature could you please tell me where that was stated? if I can find an official source saying so and issue is not fixed by releaee then I am entitled to ask for a refund. And I will do so. there are more triple screen users than I had anticipated, but only a couple of guys besides me have been bugging devs with this. maybe it's time that we speak up louder, specially if, as you said surround gaming was officially announced.
E69_Chipi Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 please help me onmy request to devs http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/10305-devs-official-positioning-requested/

There it was announced as an feature and it has not been working for months now. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/168-developer-diary/?p=7273 Posted 11 January 2013 - 10:58 3 Good afternoon. We congratulate you on holidays and the main holiday for us, happy to return to work. The process is going well, all conceived slowly begins to take on the features of the project. Moving work on the aircraft, the physics and graphics. Prototype of fighter LaGG-3 is already flying in tests of AI, I made only a couple of laps, but very happy with what happens. We have a good mood and we are ready for the long race to the result this year. Let's go back to communication and to answer your questions in the new year. 1) Will swastika displayed on German planes (according to the reality)? This is a complex issue and more legal. We have always taken the position as an unbiased view of history. And we think that is not a graphic symbol is the reason the world wars, but human greed, but, unfortunately, in many countries think differently and we have to obey these rules. Therefore we can not answer this question, we need to better understand this aspect. 2) What about mods? Do I understand correctly that it will be about the same level as now in the ROF? Will you be able to create and add mods (maps, aircraft, and machinery) without developers? If so - whether the game built tools to enable / disable mods and the ability to create servers with mods? We never hindered creativity, contrary we support any initiative. Technically, such a system is ready, simply create your own objects and put them in the game folder. Top models can become official and will be added to the basic set. Of course we are always keeping a close eye for talented people to maybe invite them to our team of developers. 3) Will the game support multi-monitor mode? Yes. 4) Will the BoS also work well with the FreeTrack as CLOD and RoF? Yes, it will work, we are not going to change anything. Edited September 4, 2014 by 7./Sch.G.2_AthlonX 1
nicka117 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Boy, I really hope this gets fixed. I've been waiting to play a good ww2 combat flight sim with proper multi-monitor support for a while. 1
A-E-Hartmann Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I use a screen 27 '. currently not need to additional screen.
Talisman Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) If you ask how many have triple screen, then it is likely that mostly people with triple screen will open and vote on this topic. However, there is a good chance that with the question worded the way it is, people who do not have a triple screen are more likely not to open and vote on this topic, because they are not being directly addressed by the question. Therefore, I suggest that, as people who do not have triple screen are not being directly addressed by the question, they are likely to be under represented in this poll. A better result may be gained from asking the question "do you have a single screen or triple screen set-up?". Edited September 9, 2014 by 56RAF_Talisman 1

Anyhow it has been a surprise to me the absolute numbers, disregarding the single-monitor users. Around 60 people with triple scrren setups who were willing to vote the poll. I was expecting no more than 20.

Matt Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I'm more surprised that there seem to be some virtual squadrons consisting only of triple screen users.

indiaciki Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I use a double screen setup with soft TH on full graphics...works in BoS and RoF
Paiman Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I just purchased IL2 BOS on Steam yesterday night hoping to fly around in my immersive triple screen setup and was surprised that triple screen support for ultra wide 16:9 / 16:10 monitors is currently broken and is not a priority to fix as stated by the developers. I hope my vote counts and that the developers are listening. Other than that, great to see you all so active in this community! :D
7./SchG2_v*Athlon Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 At the beginning of this year, it worked ! Now, after months goes no resolution of which 5760 x 1200 or 5040 x 1050 Even RoF goes, why not BoS. ?
I./JG68_Sperber Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Since the Ultra bug, I have not played BoS, only briefly tested times if it goes again !And if that is not fixed, then I'll never gamble again BoS ! The bug (perhaps intentional) is deep rooted..... If the devs would turn it back on, there was serious disadvantages for all players.....
I./JG68_Sperber Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) 69 Triples x 98 $ = 6.762 $ !! Is that not enough money for solve the bug ?? embarrassing, embarrassing..... Edited October 6, 2014 by I./JG68_Sperber
fpvdrone Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 i bought this gme for the sole purpose of triple screen gaming with a nice wide view. it does allow you to use 3 monitors, but all its really doing is zooming in on what youd normally see on one monitor and cropping the tops... SO IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS TO USE 3 MONITORS UNLESS THE SOFTWARE IS PROPERLY CONFIGURED..... this should be an easy fix for them to implement and with all the ppl complaining about it i hope they fix this soon
