TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Hey guys, I'm getting close now to setting up screens etc. I have the TH2go but are waiting on purchasing some cheap 19 inch monitors (looking on ebay My question is, if I run the TH2go off 1 DVI output on my 8800gt, can I have from the TH2go, 1 screen as Forward visuals, 1 screen as Captain/split to FO and 1 screen to engines(middle)? Or can the TH2go only be used for outside visuals split across 3 screens? I will be using fs2004 and all screens at 1280x1024. I'm sure I can but just wanted to double check.
Computer is
Intel Duo core 2 E6600 clocked to 2.7Ghz
3.2 gig ram
Nvidia 8800gt gainward overclocked
360 gig HD
After market cooling fan
Fs2004 only
Thanks again

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Be sure you get screens that support the resolution that the TH2Go can handle. I bought 3 ACER 20"screens (1680x1050) only to find out that Matrox only supports 3x1680x1050=5040x1050 at 57 Hz. My ACERs don't like 57HZ and only run on 60Hz. So no max resolution for me (had to stick to 4320x900)

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Thanks mate for the reply but my question still remains. Can I display my instrument panels and the forward visuals through the Th2GO box with all screens set at 1280x1024? Or ...will it display only one screen stretched across the 3 monitors and good for visuals only?
Thanks

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Yes, you can use the 3 screens as independant screens, no problem. It only goes full screen if you maximize while pressing the ctrl key.

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Seems like a serious waste of a TH2G to do this. You could have done this without the TH2G just by buying another cheap video card. The other thing is I think you are going to have problems doing the Capt/FO split. As I recall, the TH2G doesn't take too kindly to one of it's output going to a splitter and 2 monitors.

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Hi Henry, the TH2go will be used for 3 projectors eventually as intended. I have a dual output video card and the other port i'll run the captains split cable off that one. My motherboard doesnt support SLI but I will be getting another cheap P4 or similar with another video card later to improve the whole setup. The Th2go I will be using for everything just in the short term. Thanks for the heads up on the splitter cable mate
1st machine
Intel duo core 2 E6600 clocked to 2.7ghz
3.2 gig ram
Gainward overclocked 8800gt
2nd Machine
Pentium 4 3.0 ghz or similar
2 gig Ram
similar video card
How do you think fs2004 would run at 1280x 1024 with a projector for forward visuals, 3 screens for the MIP and one 22 touchscreen for overhead on the setup above, or even just the first machine initially? If I can achieve a steady 30 fps , I'll be happy.
Thanks

Re: TH2GO for forward visuals and MIP
Drew, you should have no problems running that with fs2004.
I'm running 3 22 inch LCD at 1680x1050 each plus 3 17 inch for the MIP with a e7300 overclocked to 3.2GHz, 8800gtx and that's on FSX. I get 24fps outside of major cities and 12-15fps in them. Within the next week I will be replacing that with an i7 920, 6Gb ram, 275GTX Video and 8800GTX as 2nd video.
