3 view set up

Only for Genuine FS fanatics! Taking this hobby from Real to Surreal? Or maybe just combining 4 hobbies into 1 ;)

3 view set up

Postby cimmaronjim » Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:18 pm

From what I've read here it seems theoretically possible to set up 3 monitors for left, right and fwd views, instead of switching back and forth on one monitor.

What would one need for that? and how would you get CFS2 to project those views simultaneously to 3 monitors

Thanks,

What do you have to do to get the software to output multiple views simultaneously?

I run CFS2 and maybe in the future FS 2004 or FSX.

I don't know personally. I'm thinking its done in the display properties. Right click on the desktop - select properties - select the settings tab - then click advanced button - another window opens and look through the different tabs. I'm sure all that is explained in the manual when you buy the thing.

The Matrox TripleHead2Go is a hardware solution.

Thanks all,

I played with CFS2 a little, and I think I figured out how it could be done with the triplehead2go converter using seperate windows.

Now all I need is money.
