IL2+Matrox TH2Go+3 widescreens (3x1680x1050) possible?

tama · #1 08-19-2008, 07:55 AM

Recently Matrox anounced two new modes for widescreens 3x1440x900 and 3x1680x1050: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...ic.php?t=14170

I am planning to buy a TripleHead2Go an two monitors.

But some people told me that Il2 has a strange behaviour with widescreens... I have a dell 2005fpw (1680x1050) and I had no problems, although it needs a little of editing in the .ini file. But I need a confirmation of such a high resolution like this (5040x1050) is handled by this sim... (FOV, zoom issues, scaling, etc)

Anyone want to share his experiences????

Thanks

Hi Tama, I use TH2G and have not been able to get IL2 to execute with 5040X1050 yet, but am trying to figure out if it may be a possible driver related problem. See page 2 of this post....................

Oleg could tell us if he had not fallen off the face of the earth? Hello Oleg, you out there? Could you fix this for us please? Or add any input?

We want to know!
PS: please

I spent all last night trying different drivers,adjusting settings in Nvidia control panel, also tried some custom resolutions.

The highest resolution I could get to work was 4080X768 which looks good and is playable for me, but I was hoping that if we could get 5040x1050 that the 1050 would help the FOV vertical clip problem on wide screen monitors.

So, my conclusion, now that TH2G has offered a higher resolution we know that IL2 is the bottle neck here.

For all I know, Oleg's team might could fix this very easily. Is so frustrating not having anyone who can answer questions. If Oleg said "can't be done" then I would let it go and quit spending time with it. My guess would be that it can be done though, but only by Oleg's team.

There is more of a stir concerning FSX and the new TH2G resolutions. I am thinking that however they get FSX to run the new resolutions, maybe IL2 will work the same.

Have been keeping an eye on on this post...............

One person claims he has enabled FSX to accept 3x1440x900 by rolling back to previous drivers.
