jh1144 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I've looked through this and other forums and I am getting conflicting information on IF and HOW you can achieve a 3 monitor cockpit view with FS9. Does anyone have any surefire information on how I can make this happen? Thank you!

stinger2k2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi, I use a two monitor cockpit view with fsx but the work is done by the Nvidia surround feature within the Nvidia software. Once setup in the Nvidia software i see a new resolution within fsx the size of two screens. I dont see why you cannot do the same in fs9. Checkout the "Almost Aviation" vids on Youtube. He explains it well. Cheers Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh1144 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Interesting. Hmm...I was committed to 3 monitors, but two might not look that bad. ____________________________________________________________ HP Pavilion Premium Gaming Desktop, Intel i5-7400 Processor, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, 3GB NVIDIA GTX 1060 Graphics, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger2k2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Interesting.

I actually use 4 monitors but two of them are used for instruments. Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh1144 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thanks stinger2k2. I was planning on having (1) 43 inch in the middle, flanked by (2) 36 inch monitors, but maybe I do (2) 43's with a smaller instrument panel monitor to the side or below.....something to consider. Do you have a photo of your setup handy? ____________________________________________________________ HP Pavilion Premium Gaming Desktop, Intel i5-7400 Processor, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, 3GB NVIDIA GTX 1060 Graphics, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a photo of your setup handy? If using NVidia, then yhe card will only let you use the same type of monitor and not mix and match, AFAIK. I have a 3 screen set-up and could never go back to one (it would be like flying with blinkers on!). - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3 screen set-up and could never go back to one (it would be like flying with blinkers on!).I assume by this that you are talking about the main screen as my main two screens are of the same type but not the other two that i use for instruments. I have 2 x 24 for main view and two x 10 inch for instruments. Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithras Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think so, this is for Nvidia Surround, where you get a complete wrap around view. - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
