Once you identify the problem either get a correct converter, or maybe buy a seperate HDMI-HDMI cable and a correct DVI-DVI cable. Identify the wrong cable by connecting the displays one at a time, or by rversing the way the cable is connected. It may well be you have two cables to connect a DVI videocard to a HDMI display, and you are using one in reverse!Ĭonverters are best avoided as much as possible. But those converter cables work only in one direction. you need to use the correct one.Īnd, with HDMI and DVI the physical connectors on videocard and monitor are the same. Not all DVI cables are the same, there is DVI-D, DVI-I, etc. To get all three monitors working is most likely a case of using the correct cable. Now you can "look out the windows" left and right. Do the same with a new view that you put up on the right-hand monitor. you can then just look left, to get a view out the left window. Drag that window over to your left monitor and expand it. In fsx, (when sitting on the runway) select views-new view. I feel I need to make a change to the FSX.CFG file to allow stretching over multiple monitors rather than just having 1 main display and being able to put dials on the 2nd screen.įor the view, what you can do is create a new viev. If I go to Window mode and drag this over both screens it does go onto left hand screen but the res of the SIM prevents it from stretching to the 2nd screen. If I view another panel or dial like the FMC I can drag this over to Screen 2 but this isn't how I want to use it. When I am sat on the runway only Screen 1 has the runway in front of my. In FSX, I have checked my Display Settings I can see 2 graphics cards listed (one with a.

If I try and set it is asks me to save the settings but when I do it says its "Unable to save display settings".Īny ideas where this is? If I swap and change monitors over I can only get 2 out of the 3 working.
This can't be set to "Extend Desktop to this display". It is grey'ed out on the visual representation of the screen layouts. Screen 1 - Dell P19S - Disconnect this display Screen 2 - Dell P190S - recommended res - Extend Desktop to this display Screen 3 - Hanns G - recommended res - Extend Desktop to this display Under Screen Resolution in Windows 7 it shows the following:. After connecting like this and booting up, the 27" works and 1 x 19" works but the other one doesn't come on. before I connected them all I just used the 27" which worked fine. It may look odd and you ask where I haven't swapped the DVI and HDMI around but I didn't have just a HDMI to HDMI cable spare, but I did have DVI to HDMI and HDMI to DVI.Īnyway. The graphics card has 3 ports (1 x Display Port, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI-D). I have 2 issues I am trying to get help on:. I am running windows 7 64bit and FSX SP2.
