PC2 PC2 Triple Screen

[Rick Lopes]

Has anyone tried PC2 with triples?
I did and unless i'm doing something wrong... there is still some warping on side monitors..

just LCD, i.e width of each bezel

Edit: deleted (beat me to it)

@William Wester not sure what you want to tell?

Are those pictures proof of anything? I mean, shouldn't a full picture be shown?
It's just a side screen, at least from what I see.

 

[William Wester]

It shows the side screen graphics stretching if the camera is set incorrectly, regardless of the triple screen settings.

Sounds reasonable, thanks for clarification. So could you show us your best settings and screenshot with triple screen from cockpit?

But, with PC2 you can also adjust camera which can stretch/compress view.

Oh good lord, you mean they've given users yet another way to screw up correct FOV in triple monitors?!?

Steam and Nvidia Shadow Play snapshots don't work well for triple-screen, looks stitched together. Do you have something better?
As for settings, I set the PC2 triple setup to the exact values of my monitors, eye distance, and side monitor angles (45 deg. for mine). With that I'm using 60 for cockpit camera (I set very close) and seat position to taste. Few of video's I've found, the first talks a little on the Speed Sensitive FOV option (I've not tried this yet myself, not needed for triples).

How do you adjust the camera setting, and what should it be set to? I don't believe I've seen this option anywhere.

-lack of FFB histogram in HUD (crucial for any wheel user), you can't say how FFB is perfoming in triples cause there's no graph for it

So I'm not the only one missing the squiggly yellow graph? Good to know. However, you can still check your FFB in the telemetry HUD. In the lower left corner of the center monitor you should see six or seven vertical bars that "fill up" as you turn the wheel and these represent your FFB. If the bar on the furthest right starts to fill up then you are clipping, it shows a red bar and it stays there for a little while so you can just glance down and see if you've clipped over the last few turns.

There is a CAMERA section on the options screen ( :40 seconds into the first video above), or you can adjust on-the-fly with "[" and "]". I run around 60 as I set very close to my center monitor (triples).

Oh, that's just adjusting the FOV for each camera view.
