    After a bit of searching, I discovered that ATI users need to go into Catalyst Control Center and switch to the BASIC mode and use the Wizards. You can not access the Horizontal span mode from the advanced panel. I wonder why ?

    Ok, Wow. How incredible was that. I oinly have 2 monitors working right now so I had the bezel split right down the middle of my plane, but HNL looked more like HNL than it ever did even with add-ons. I could almost feel the difference.

    Now I feel the severe need to go and get me a pair of dual head PCI cards at the soonest opportunity.

    Since I dont have a TH2G at this time but I do have the projectors, I would still like to try this software.

    How do you suggest to set up the hardware?

    So, Im guessing that you got SoftTH to work in FS9 then? Can you shed some light on how you got it working, etc.?

    Actually, I got Horizontal Stretch working on ATI. It does almost the same exact thing as SofTH. It was beautiful!
    All these years, I've been flying on a single monitor. What a HUGE difference!

    The only difference between SofTH and HS mode is SofTH actually requires more pixels to fill the screens where HS Mode just stretches everything across. But get rid of the interior cockpit and WOW.

    Okay, I have the hardware to try the Horizontal Span this weekend and Im hoping that it will be a nice way to have wider visuals till I get the $$ for a TH2G. However, are there any tricks required for zoom levels or anything?

    No tricks. The only drawback I've found so far is it will not let me run fullscreen. I have to leave it in windowed mode. Not a big deal if I manually make the screen slightly larger then center it. Same effect.

    New video card is on the way !!

    Hi Andy, I tried it out last night for the first time and discovered the same thing you mention- it wont run in full screen

    Anyhow, what you said is a good way to try it and maybe that's what the Finnish guys did with their (very nice) glider sim. That's where I actually realized that I should try this...it was first posted here yesterday at :

    Question

    I am looking at building a new system. So, does this mean I should get a motherboard that can have two pci-e 2.0 video cards (non-sli)?

    I am aiming for the nehalem cpus so I guess that's the newer x48 motherboard (ddr3 1600 and above)? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...el%20X38%2fX48
    cpu 1: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - OC'd 2.4 ghz - 2 gigs RAM - nvidia Geforce 7600 GT - 19" Dell Monitor - 19" Viewsonic - FSX SP1 - Various GoFlight modules - ch Yoke and rudder pedals
    cpu 2: Notebrick - Core 2 Duo - 2.2 ghz - 2 gigs RAM - Intel video - 19" Dell - 15" laptop monitor - FreeFD - VASFMC

    The rule for hardware is always buy the fastest / best you can afford. That way it will last you that much longer.

    I would get a board that could hold 3 vid cards SLI or Crossfire. FSX may not take advantage of it, but I bet FS11 will. And unless you plan on buying a new computer for it when it comes out, you need to get this one as fast as you can. I'd reccomend Vista 64 also. It gives you a much larger memory profile.
