RE: F16 outside views
Hello oresther,
If I understand correctly,what you want to do is have 3 screen capability.
This can be accomplished with either a Software or Hardware solution.The easy way,(for a Hardware solution),if you have 1 GPU,is to buy a Matrox TrippleHead 2 Go for a single video card.https://www.google.com/search?q=matrox+tripplehead2go&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=np&source=hp
The Software solution is a software Program,called SoftTH…http://www.kegetys.fi/softth/
but you will need 2 GPU’s.It is what I use.And is Version dependent on which OS you run.(XP,orWindows7…32Bit versus x64 Bit)You will want Track IR also

@oresther:hello everyone,
i am building my f16 simulator base on BMS 4.3.2 (i am a newbee so please excuse me if i am asking something funny)
i want to take it to the next level and i want 3 screen to be my outside view but it does not end here image one monitor will be the front view and the other 2 will be my left and my right view
the question is how can i extract the view to other monitors ? there a software for that ? please help me -
RE: Possible 3-monitor config?
There is always a compromise.
@Arty,
I would have thought your FPS would be higher with that Monster GPU and all it’s CUDA Cores…but,3 screens of BMS take a toll,eh?I started with my lowly 8800GT,getting 22-35 FPS.
Not to be thwarted,I bought an GTX550Ti,FPS went back to 62 w/VertSync on.
Found SoftTH,bought 2 more 24" monitors,and FPS fell back in the 20’s with the new 5760x1200 resolution. GAKKK!!!
Turned off all “Eye Candy”,which is still better than what we had with OF,and got back in decent FPS range.
I got used to it,
and then replaced the 8800GT with a 2nd GTX550Ti and FPS returned to 62.
Might add another GPU for “Eye Candy”.@ICE,
glad you’re sorted mate.
As for the “Fisheye” effect,I am just used to it,but you may be able to lessen it by using the SoftTH Tool to allow for the extra Bezel Area.(maybe add 200 Pixels to the width Parameter???) I Dunno…Maybe this - http://www.kegetys.fi/forum/index.php?topic=2631.0
@Federf,
Good Intel mate.Bottom line is, 3 screens are better than 1.

RE: Possible 3-monitor config?
Does SoftTH do the warping like the DCS screenshot posted by Frederf? Or does it just spread a flat image on 3 screens? Also it seems to work good with 3 identical monitors but what about my case where I’m using a different center monitor from my side monitors?
If BMS only displays a wider view of a flat image, I wonder if I should even angle my side screens towards me or just keep them in line with the center screen?
Mate,it adds the missing left and right viewing area…it “spans” the image to 3 screens,and does take into account any difference in Monitor size or Resolution.
It auto computes the best reso for you… -
RE: Possible 3-monitor config?
Another +1 for “SoftTH”.
Late to the party,but just sent this PM;
"It is called “SoftTH”.
You simply put 4 files in your FalconBMS 4.32/Bin/x86 Folder,and it forces your GPU’s to spread 1 screen to all 3…sort of.
It actually adds the landscape you would see with a wider view.Once the files are in the “bin/x86 folder”…start BMS and select a new graphics resolution and fly.
If you have Windows XP,use SoftTH 1.09…if you have Vista or 7,then use the latest version.
Here are some links to SoftTH;

I run 2 EVGA GTX550Ti’s,and get 55-62 FPS on three 24" Monitors @ 5760x1200 resolution.
If you need help just PM me.
Cheers mate,Stix61
PS;….you MUST change the Field of View in 2 places in your Config file code.
Open BMS4.32 Directory/User/Config,and look for the “falcombms.config” file.
Open your Config File with NotePad,and scroll thru the lines of text,for FOV,or Field of view.
Default is 70.0, change it to at least 155.0.
There are 2 places in the Config file,but they read;“set g_fMaximumFOV 155 // Limits the maximum amount that the FOV can be increased”
We are not quite done yet…
Now you must find your Falcon BMS4.32 “Data” folder,
open it up and find the “Art” folder,
open it and find the “ckptart” folder,
open it and this must be done for every jet you fly…do the same for “ckptartn”Open each Jets folder and then open “3Dckpit.dat file” with NotePad,
and scroll down for this line of code;“viewlimit_pitch_down 75.0;”
75 seems good for me with Track IR 4.
