Not able to stretch TrackIR view in FSX

Post by scooterlibby »

Hi I have a 3 monitor Eyefinity, TrackIR 5 display problem. I have the AMD Radeon HIS 7950 with 3 monitors set up correctly "I think", I am using the dvi port on all 3 monitors. One with the monitor going to an active display port adapter then on to a mini dv port, one monitor going to HDMI port, and the last running from DVI to DVI. I set up the three monitors with the AMD control center. My win 7 desktop is streched over all three monitors like it's supposed to be (5760X1080) in display properties. I calibrated TrackIR 5 correctly, I chose my game of choice FSX in the TrackIR menu. Minimised TrackIR to desktop and enter FSX. When it's time to fly all 3 monitors are duplicated....not streched like there supposed to be. I have 3 front cockpit views, one in each monitor. Oh I also changed the "WideViewAspect to True in the fsx.cfg file. I hope someone out there can help me figure this out!

Problem solved "AMD configured Eyefinity Desktop resolution and FSX resolution must be set to 5790 X 1080 to get TrackIR to strech the game screen across all 3 screens. It looks GREAT! Hope this can help someone else.

Pardon me for jumping in, but how would one accomplish this with an nVidia card? My nVidia control panel doesn't seem to include any options for multiple monitors.

Natively with FSX I don't believe it's possible, because of some issues with nVidia spanning. You may want to check with FSX support about this, though. TrackIR will work appropriately without regard to monitor setup, though.
