FSX Delux + Acceleration - 6 independent monitors?

Recommended Posts

My computer is able to Boot up with 3 different windows operating systems on 3 separate 2tb hard drives. These are XP Pro 32 bit, Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. My FSX installation is on a separate 2tb hard drive run via windows 7 64 bit operation system to take advantage of the full 4gb ram. The computer has 32 gb ram.

 

My computer has 6 monitors, 3 connected by DVDI-D to powered Club 3 Dataport to DVDI-D adaptor and 3 connected by DVDI-D to DVDI-D. All 6 monitors can run independently i. e. All of the windows operating systems think there are 6 monitors numbers 1 to 6 and I can, for example, open 6 different programs in each monitor and use all 6 programs independently with all 3 windows operating systems.

 

However FSX with not work with this configuration, FSX starts the first splash screen then all 6 monitors flicker on and off. My only way of running FSX is to make the 3 top or 3 bottom monitors into an eyeinfity group. Then Windows 7 64 bit displays only 4 monitors numbers 1 to 4 with 1 as the 3 eyeinfinity monitor group. With is setup I have had no crashes and can updock views on to all 6 monitors with no problems.

 

Is anybody running more that 4 independent, windows shows more that 4 monitors, and if so what is your setup?

Thank you

That sounds like what I found as well. Probably a FSX being old issue more than anything else.

 

If you find another angle, please advise. Otherwise we'll probably need to wait on the sometimes promised vaporware of a few years out.

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

I have had problems running FSX on 6 multiple monitors 4 LG 1240 x 1024 and 2 Samsung 1360x 960 - particularly different size monitors slaved from 2 different graphics cards GeForce GTX 750 and GeForce GT 630. FSX sometimes freezes on loading a flight - particularly if I have a number of views / windows open for the flight , and particularly if I play around with the positioning / sequence of the monitors after saving a flight and then try open the flight again with a different monitor configuration. . Am now running fsx on only 3 of the same type of monitors LG 1240 x 1024 but off both GPU's - far more stable. WIn 7 64bit. FSX wasnt built for multiple displays.
