Re: [Resolved] ViewGroups not working properly in version 4

I wondered if I could just jump on the back of Scott's post. I've setup ViewGroups in both v3 & now v4 using both Mark Hargrove's and LM's instructions and have the same issue of my views flashing and resetting. With a viewgroup active I get frequent flashing of all 3 monitors with them going bl...

Topic: How to properly configure Triple Monitor setups?
Replies: 13
Views: 35005

<t>Guys I've done a lot of triple monitor setups both with projectors and TV's and to get the correct FOV you need to setup 3 undocked window views in your .FXML file (the old FSX .flt file). This is of course after configuring your triple monitors using either surround or a Matrox TH2GO. I've used ...

<t>Try moving your view forward a little by pressing the + key. There was a similar problem in FSX when you're view moved back slightly into the seat headrest or any other part of the aircraft and you could no longer click on anything. This can happen over time which may account for your issue that ...

Nothing I know of specifically for P3D however I have used the Posky 777 model quite successfully in both FSX and P3D with Sim-Avionics. There is now a custom tweaked model for both the 777 & 737 in Sim-A. Also check in the PM forum.

<t>Can I ask if you're running Windows 7 or 8? If you're running Windows 8 this could be your problem. I have the Saitek Multipanel, Radio and Switch panels and they all work flawlessly with v2.1 in Windows 7. I use the SPAD driver not Saitek's. I had been using Win8 but then wiped it and loaded Win...

Definitely stick with Windows 7 at this stage. I had all sorts of issues on my laptop running 8.1 and the only solution and simplest really was to load Win7, job done!

<t>Guys, I had the same problem with my newly purchased gaming laptop and I persevered with fault finding and workarounds for a week before stumbling on the only solution to all my problems..... load windows 7! Don't bother with Windows 8 or 8.1 unless you like to torture yourself unnecessarily. Onc...

<t>Thanks Celis but none of those worked, however I did find a solution. The nvidia video driver needs the onboard intel drivers to run before it will work, if you disable the intel driver then you work with the microsoft raw vga driver, which either won't run or at the least P3D will be severely th...

<t>Marco, I had the exact same problem and you can see my post worded pretty much the same as yours earlier in this forum and here's what I found after trying all the above tips and more. First let me ask what OS your running, is it Win8? I suspect it is, as my problem only existed in Win8. On lapto...

<t>Thanks Jim but did that too, it says it's selected in nVidia's 3D Settings tab but no way will P3D see it as a selection. As I said I feel it may also have to do with Win8. I'm going to try uninstalling both nVidia and Intel graphic drivers, upgrade to Win8.1 then reinstall current drivers. Obvio...

<t>Thanks Ray, yes I did try that but unlike a desktop motherboard the laptop version doesn't offer that option strangely enough but I think its going down the right track, if I can remove it operationally I hope P3D will see the only card left i.e. the GTX760. I'm also suspecting its a peculiarity ...

<t>TobiBS, there isn't a way to remove these black borders withing P3D directly however most image warping software allows you to trim the 2 pixel borders resulting in a continuous view. If you are projecting to a curved screen then you probably already have some form of warp correction software and...

P3D looks the same but with two black lines down the screen at the window borders. I must say I'm highly impressed with the night lighting in P3D.<br/> <br/> <...

The only aspect missing is the removal of window borders which wa...
