NVIDIA 680 GTX 4G AND NEC MULTI SCREENS

[SKYWARRIOR]

Hi,
having problem getting SFX to display over 3 screens. I have 3 Nec 23 " screens and all work well and functioned well with the Matrox system. I have setup the screens as per the configuration diagram and have a mouse cursor that pans from left to right in front of me.
When I run SFX I only have the centre screen illuminated with the image, the left right screen are balck (not even blue) and I have everything I know.
Any help very welcome

Regards

David

Have you update the Screen Resolution in FSX to match your new Windows Screen Resolution?

Make sure you are running FSX in "WINDOWED" mode, then you can @catch@ the corner of the window and drag it to fill the 3 screens.

Geoff I think you are right and its 2 1/2 years since I have unpacked my kit from moving and maybe forgoten how some of this works. Can you remind me how to check the window mode and where to set it.
I know this sounds stupid but its like getting on a bike after a long time and know its all there but need a reminder !

Thank you

David

Hi David
When FSX is running a mission if the menu bar is not showing at the top of the screen press ALT+ENTER, then click the sort of double square symbol in the top right corner of the menu bar then you should be able to drag the corners of the window to make it smaller. If this works then you are in "window" mode. You can then drag the window across 3 screens as you said you can already drag the mouse across them

I use the same card, a GTX680 4GB, and run full screen fine across three displays. In windowed mode I have mine set to be smaller than 1 screen in fact so I can see other applications at the same time (ACARS, REX, Firefox, etc...)'

Skywarrier, did you check what your resolution is set to in FSX? If it's not the triple monitor resolution (eg: 5076x1080) then FSX will not span all three monitors when you enter fullscreen mode. If it's set to the origina, something like,l 1920x1080 then that's only 1 monitor and that's why you see what you're seeing.
