gizmo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Greetings to all, I have a question which may differ from everyone's perspetive but would like to hear your thoughts and opinion. My question is... what is a good angle to turn your left and right monitor to have a decent or a good simming experience as far as the cockpit view goes? This thought has been on my mind now for a while but could not find the sweet spot. Would appreciate your inputs if you don't mind. Thank you in advance Regards If you want Peace, be prepared to fight for it ! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmaysefaith79 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have mine set at 22.5° and love it. I basically am facing the corner with my middle display in front of me and the side displays mounted to the walls on either side. Hope this helps!

Kuky Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ideally (if you have displays large enough) you should set them at 90° (left/front/right side) use 3 viewportsn and have 90° set FoV No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltensegler Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Actually it depends where your head is while flying. Make each Monitor face you...that defines the best angle between them. The left and right corner of the outer displays and your head should define your default FOV to set.

RedRain Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This was helpfully to me, some basic multi monitor fundamentals. It is not dcs, and dcs certainly doesn't provide the multi monitor support that this does, but should. I think that Ed seriously underestimates the volume of people out there using these monitor configs. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Ed seriously underestimates the volume of people out there using these monitor configs. Agree, I think DCS is wonderful, but multi-monitor support is not up to standard. It's a bit strange that there's still no way to set the angles!??? F.i in this racing sim (Assetto Corsa) you can adjust the settings with an in-game app: Such settings are necessary to set correct and realistic viewing perspectives for your screen size and viewing distance. They have another app to set FOV, viewing angles, seat position, pitch (for each car). I don't mind editing setup files in DCS, but even then it's not possible to set the correct perspectives for my triple 50" setup :( Let's hope they will improve this... i7-9700K, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080 Ti, Valve Index, SFX-100 motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftwoller Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi all, I have 3 screens (Cheapo ACER 24") and I did absolutely nothing special to set them up and to me they look perfect. I have my resolution set to 5760x1080 and in the monitors tab, I have that set to 1 monitor! The 2 peripheral monitors are roughly 40 degs to the main monitor. This looks far superior to the 3 monitor option. Give it a go and use your R/Sht+R/Ctrl+/ to fine tune depending on how close or far back you sit. ...Guy Helicopters!!

PiedDroit Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can someone please explain where exactly do i need to change view angel settings? I have 17 portrait + 27 landscape + 17 portrait 1024+2560+1024 thanks There is 2 types of multimonitor setup in DCS. 1 camera mode: single viewport, generates fisheye effect at high fov, not configurable (except if you use SoftTH but no sure it works with DCS as it is dx9 bsed IIRC). 3 camera mode: one viewport for each screen, you can change the angle of each lateral screen in relation to the central screen by changing the dx parameter. You will find an example in file 3camera.lua. Dx parameter is actually a ratio (of screen width), default value is 1, lower (ex: 0.9) will make viewports overlap a bit. Left viewport has negative value, right positive. I never tried it with 3 different resolutions for each viewport. Hope this clarifies a bit...
