Hi I took some pictures (screenshots and digicam fotos) of a flight fom LSZH to LSGG with my LDS under FS X SP2 and LSZH-scenery from FSDreamTeam. Three monitors with Matrox TH2G and two monitors for the instruments. Have fun. Peter

Peter,
I am very interested to three monitor system. I am not PC expert. If I have three monitors : one my present 22" Samsung and If I purchase two 19" Samsung monitors. Can I put LDS-767 cockpit view to 22" and second and third 19" monitor left and right cockpit Windows with scenery. Or what combination do you advise?? and what I need to make three monitors working through same PC? Thanks Sanal |

Sanal I have a high-end configuration with two graphic adapters (each one with two outputs) and additionaly one Matrox TH2G adapter for 3 monitors. Total 6 monitors. On your PC with one graphic adapter you can connect two monitors (depends on your adapter); so you can display the instrument on one screen and the scenery on the other; thats what many people do. I will post a Digicam picture of my config. Peter |

Christian Yes, it makes a lot of fun; easy to manage, I have all my windows open and accessable with my mouse and when I like an outside- / window- view just click S and A and it appears on the three 15 inch monitors. Additionaly I have another PC and monitor on the right handside (not on the pictures) with Simconnect to dislay all my Navigraph charts, a moving map and Moving-GoogleEarth. Peter

Very nice setup Peter! I'm wondering if it would be able to use a touchscreen for the overhead panel so that you can move the switches by touching them instead of using the mouse... Cheers, Sylvain |

Sylvain Yes it is possible to put a tochscreen to act as a overhead panel; the only problem is the price. Here a 17 inch monitor costs about US$ 230 and a touchscreen about US$ 1500!! Peter |

I tried the triple head to go for my system. When all monitors are the same its good but they don't work with touch screens. Here is a link: http://www.leveldsim.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=16647&PN=1

Cool stuff. I had the matrox setup th2go and my frame rates suffered a small amount. That is a nice setup and I sure like the extra side views. It makes flying so much easier. Taxiing is easier also. Happy flying sir. RE |

Airchile No problem; I dont have a diagramm or something similar; I try to explain it for you: 1. With LDS (2D-Panels) you cannot (I think so) have the pilot (left) and the copilot (right) panel at the same time. Normally everybody plays the pilot and so is using the left panel. 2. Six monitors on my PC: I am using TWO graphic adapters (2 x NVIDIA 8800 GTS 640 MB memory each). Thats it. Peter |

Hi there, i have a triple head to go, i also have to GTS 8800 on my pc. I have 3 monitores from my triple head to go giving me the front view conected to my first video card, on the second video card i connected two monitores, but when i try to get full view every thing starts blinking, the only why i got it to work was three moniters from my triple head to go on the first card and another monitor conected to my other video card, my dream is to have a set up like yours but haven't been possible.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it running like yours and one more thing, don't you loose a lot of FPS with all the monitors, i noticed some loss. One more thing do you run al these monitores on full view or on windos view. Thanks |

Hey it's me again i am just woundeing maybe it's the order you conect the monitores, i have my triple head to go conected to the first output of the first video card the rest on the second card, you seem to have your triple head to go as your last monitor.
I have to try that maybe that way it will work. Still send me some suggestions on how you got it connected. Thanks Andres |

Andres 1. Yes, you get a lille less framerates with each additional monitor you connect<, depends on your system power! 2. am running FS9 and normally FSX with my configuration; see the pictures in the post. But I am using ONLY windowed mode, all my monitors have windows (not fullscreen); the monitors after the TH2G box get the cockpit outside view as a window with 3072x768 pixels; the instruments (overhead, FMS, Pedestal and maininstruments are separate windows (undocked) and shifted to the respective monitor. Did you understand; try to use only UNDOCKED windows and it should work. Peter |

Salman I do not have any problems with my TH2G (analog version) using 2D panel. 1. Try to modify your FSX settings from default VC to 2D. End the FSX. Now you should be abel to run the instruments on one monitor and the scenery on the TH2G monitors. Try it and give feedback. Should look like mine: http://www.cheeseair-va.ch/130-fotogalerie/CHE001-2009-03-29-NewConfig.html Peter

HI Guys! Try this.....its really works! "It seems that the resolution set in Nvidia/Matrox and FSX would only take 3460 x 1050. No larger or my 2D cockpit would vanish and the cursor would flicker and the menu words would just be all lines. So I went back to the older drivers and resolutions and all is fine (albeit not the hi-definition widescreen promised by Matrox and Nvidia)." Good luck!!!! Salman |
