ATI 5870 at Full Screen 3 Monitors

[Stevsky]

I just started using ATI 5870. Only problem I have with a 3 monitor setup is in full screen. In full screen I get a clone of the virtual cockpit on each monitor. The only way I can use it is to alt-enter out of full screen and then stretch that across all three monitors, then I end up with the tool bar at the bottom and the menu tabs at the top. Does anyone have a work around for this in order to use the full screen across all 3 monitors. I do have them grouped 3X1 and using Win 7 64 bit. Also is there a way to zoom below the 30% limit to get a better view of the cockpit along with the outside?

What display resolution are you using in FS? Is it the same as what you are running in Win7?

Yes the desktop is set at 1900X1200, but when I group the 3 monitors using catalyst for the ATI 5870 it changes the resulotion to 5760X1200. However the resolution is 1900X1200 remains in FSX. I can zoom out up to 30% but the cockpit is so large that I cannot see outside and intruments at the same time. My biggest problem is I can not use full sreen as it locates in all 3 monitors as a clones. I have to alt enter and then stretch the screen to all 3 monitors but the that leaves the tool bar at bottom and a large border at the top with the FSA menu buttons. I have seen FSX on youtube using the ATI 5870 and it seems they all are able to use full screen without the top and bottom tool bars. How is full srcreen for you?

If your desktop resolution is 5760x1200 on your desktop (which sounds correct) then you need to select the same 5760x1200 resolution within the FSX display settings.
I have a TH2Go not an ATI - but I need to have the resolutions set the same on the desktop and in FSX in order for things to work.

FSX doesn't show that resolution availabe?

Hi,
I have the exact problem/situation/hardware as the original poster, any solutions? Also how about removing the bezel from each scree? how is that done?

Thanks
