Triple monitor FTW

[-TBC-AeroAce]

I use 3 of these http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27EA63V-P-led-monitor

Smallest  bezel I could find at a reasonable price.

 

*the physical bezel appears really thin but there is a black painted area around the screen that makes it about 3/8" (9.525 mm) wide of blocked area, but its not too noticeable when gaming 

 

nice but discon

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm running 8080x1600 and using Nvidia Surround, 3 x gtx970. Tried it this morning after seeing there was an extra resolution mode. Hoping it fixed the multi monitor problem. It worked so I'm enjoying the game again. Thanks for getting it fixed.

New to BoS.

 

Running triple screens 5760x1080.

 

AMD card.

 

Triples running, but it feels like I am sitting too close to the gunsights in the plane.

 

Is there a setting to zoom out a bit and get a bit wider FOV?

 

Thanks,

You're just used to a 'game' perspective Randale, where everything of import has to fit onto a single screen that is maybe a few feet away from the player. If you have a triple screen set-up you are trying to replicate sitting in the cockpit. If you were to set-up the frames of your monitors inside the cabin of one of these planes at the same distance from you, then this is view you would see through them. Your head is in the correct position it just takes a little getting used to at first and trackIr is needed to make it work well. If you sat in the cockpit of one of these planes the dashboard would be below eye level so you would need to look down a little in the real world. There maybe a way to alter the FOV by editing an ini file but this make the world look like you were looking though a periscope with everything at the wrong scale.

Been pretty well obsessed with this since early Saturday morning.  I'm getting close (she said).

 

I already had 2 Acer 21.5 inch monitors, which are in the DVI slots of a single Radeon R9 290.  Purchased an AOC 21.5 incher for $119 and a 30 dollar HDMI-DVI adapter.  Stand on order, need it real bad as I've got stacks of books and magazines, with folded paper for shims for the alignment. 

 

Resolution doesn't seem to be as good on the center monitor (whether DVI or HDMI source), I notice jagged edges that were not there before, as if the anti-aliasing had dismally failed.  Hopefully I can sort it.

 

Fun stuff, either way.

Thanks. Getting use to the effect after I got Trackir tweaked a bit.
