DerZocker Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Sry, but did you ever run successfully a game using Softth? What error appears if you use the default config? As a workaround: With Windows XP you can use the horizontal span mode, so you haven't to use Softth :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerZocker Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 ok no error message ;). Can you select the resolution (3072x768) in the option menu? Edit the options.lua and and enter your resolution, width and height. Set the aspect to 4. Start Black Shark.. If there are no changes, edit the softth config and set forceResolutionWidth=3072 forceResolutionHeight=768 I' running out of ideas..^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Nephilim Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) OK Dude You are a genius it worked ;) I set the rez in the Options Lua and Voila I have a Triple Screen working in BS now. THNAK YOU so Much for Helping me get this to work..But I think setting that setting to 4 made a real adverse effect and I had to hard reboot the PC.. So I just ended up putting in the rez in the options lua 3072x768 and voila it looks so cool on my setup got me back into this sim .. ;) By the_nephilim at 2010-09-09 Edited September 10, 2010 by The_Nephilim ASRock Z590 Phantom Gaming 4/AC / Intel i7 10700K @ 5.1Ghz / Noctua DHS-14 Heatsinkw/Fan / Samsung 970plus m.2 1TB / eVGA FTW3 2080Ti / RipJaws - 64GB RAM @3200 / SoundBlaster Z / Reverb G2 VR / ThrustMaster HOTAS Cougar & MFD's / Buttkicker Gamer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fangav Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Got it figured, used the latest 2.04 version 32bit and it sorted it all out,had to change the resolution and ratio in option.lua Now i just need to fine tune [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangav Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My setting, step by step. I hope this helps someone out. :thumbup: Steps to setup the 3 screens in Blackshark using SoftTH 2.04 32bit. http://softth.com/?page_id=92 3 Monitor screen resolution for Left 1280x960 CRT,Center 1920x1080 LCD, and Right 1280x1024 LCD. "total 4480x1080" Open place the d3d9.dll into the game executable directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable (mine) When the game is run for the first time and SoftTH d3d9.dll is loaded a default configuration will be created. Run Blackshark in single player and hit Quick start, say YES to the message box to create new config file. Using notepad++ make these changes to the config.SoftTHconfig in C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable forceResolution to the same as renderResolution eg 4480x1080 Using notepad++ make these changes to the options.lua in C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua ["aspect"] = 4.148, get this by dividing 4480/1080=4.148 change ["width"] to 4480 from 1920 change ["resolution"] to "4480x1080" from 1920x1080. Using notepad++ make these changes to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\View\view.lua from, CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, 120.0} to CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, 270.0} Squash screens in game = the app key between right windows and right ctrl + s, this is to compress the image in multyplayer so you can click all the buttons.

Sinister Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 i finally got mine working with FC2.. but have found that in multiplayer. .the MENU is huge instead of just utilizing the center monitor until you are in the game.. but a weird thing is that I can see the server menu, but when I click on one to join.. I dont get the password screen.. seems like somethings not aligned.... Did I miss something..

walker450 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 If anyone is having issues with multiplayer screens.... here is some info: You can't click on anything except the center screen.... so you have to go into the files and "move" the buttons over to the center. PM me if you want help doing this. I don't have time right now to explain all of it. Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
