does anyone know why when i boot up my monitors it goes back to single screen making me reconfigure everything again? everything else ive got figured out I make sure that my monitors are on when I hit the power button on the computer. That seems to ensure that I get triple screens each time I boot up. |

I never turn my monitors off. I just let them go into their sleep mode when the PC shuts off.

Joy of joys my monitor arrived today, all set up...it ain't pretty but it is big and it is clever and after some confusion over what monitor was what and some stern talking to my computer we eventually agreed what was left right and middle. Do wish I could ditch the 19" but I can't and it is soooo much better than one screen I can overlook the slightly odd left view.

I'm telling you man it's amazing, you find your self naturally looking further into corners on the side monitors without even noticing your doing it..It doesn't make it easier...if anything it is harder for a while as you adjust, but the sense of being there is really heightened...just watch out for car sickness LOL

Okay question...now I have had mine going a while I am finding one irritation that is stretching on the outside monitors, I have my bezel correction sorted, but cannot find a way to stop that stretching any ideas oh triple gurus?
It doesn't seem so noticeable in rF 1 or iR maybe that is why it didn't bother be before, but rF2 and pcars are very distorted on the side views

What you're seeing is distortion due to the entire field of view being rendered as one continuous plane. The solution is what iR calls "Render each monitor separately" and rF1 calls "Multiview" (it's a check box in rFConfig.exe).
I don't believe pCARS has addressed this yet. rF2 has the same Multiview option as rF1... and there may also be a check box in the game's video options.

When I tick multiview it get 100% worse...could that be because of the custom resolution for bezel adjustment? I don't tick the box in rF1 and the result in fine, if I do it goes really weird. Hmm I must experiment more

i just want to ask a question. does multiview only become usable when both screens are similar?

Okay ticking mutiview in rF2 does make it a little better, the first third of the screen seems in proportion but the last two thirds are just as stretched...def better with MV off in rF1

Hmm I must experiment more Do you have the correct resolution selected in rFConfig.exe? If everything is set right the side monitors should not be distorted. |

Also, Multiview appears to be hard-coded for the side monitors being 45 degrees tillted from the centre one. Unlike iRacing where you specify the angle.
That means if you run with your monitors "flatter" than 45 degrees, mine are at 20 degrees, the dashboard won't look right but the side views should be OK.
