Surround Monitors

[Batman47]

So when I activate surround (3 monitors) the view looks as if thru a telephoto lens. The takeoff roll appears as if in slow motion. Does anyone know why the view is so distorted? The bezel correction is perfect.

More info please. Which surround monitor process? Which, by brand and model, GPU? Which scenery brand & level? Which display settings? etc.

 

I use 3 monitors everyday, no issues like that.

I'm running 3 Vizio 30 inch flat panels driven by a Nvidea graphics card in surround mode. The system runs beautifully in XPlane10 but takes on this zoomed appearance in FSX. The only way I could get rid of the instrument panel was to move the eyepoint forward of the propeller. Is there another way? I suppose I could turn off surround and drag 2 other virtual cockpits onto the outter displays but I had trouble lining up the horizon since the tuning up or down did not allow for very fine steps. Also, I had to do this every time I started the sim. Bummer.

 

Any suggestions would be great. I may be going about this all wrong.

Open up fsx.cfg, then add this:

 

[Display]

WideViewAspect=True

 

Then set your zoom to 1.0 or thereabouts.

Thanks Mark.
