For a while now, I have been seeing and experiencing this problem common to all 3-screen IL2 users.

When I run IL-2 on 3 screens through Triplehead2go with Use3Renders=0, a single screen is displayed on three screens but the top and bottom get cropped out. So, I end up with a very wide but a very thin screen.

The cure for that would be the ability to zoom-out more, BUT IL2 has an FOV limit coded-in that cannot be bypassed in the config file.

Could someone in the Mod community put out a little mod to deal with that FOV problem for all if us 3-screen users?


That would be incredibly awesome.

There was a little beta mod floating about here, called IL2 FOVChanger...I can't seem to find it now, but keep looking, hopefully it'll pop up... 8)

I would be very interested to see something likew this as well. I have a widescreen monitor and I dont particularily like the fact that the top (the mirror!) and the bottom are missing.

ALso would this kind of thing be considered a cheat by CRT2? I fly on a mods server that uses this and wouldnt want to be kicked/banned if this is considered 'dodgy'

Cheers!

I've tried it, like it alot, although still some bugs, this is the last peice in the jigsaw for me, nirvana here we come...

Version 1.01 has self initialization built in, which is nice, since the program works about 90% of the time.
For whatever reason, it stops working randomly when in flight, and needs to be re-initialized.

It would be bliss if it worked flawlessly.

This website won't load for me. Can someone upload the software or send it to me?

San just released a new version of the FOV Changer.

This one has ultra-quick re-initialization routine when the utility loses sync with the game, which makes it ideal for combat use now.

Is it worth it to invest in a Triple Screen setup for IL2? Let's take a look...

Single Screen

Single Screen Wide View

Single Screen Max Zoom

YES, it is!
Here is what you need:


A) 3 Monitors (It is best if they are the same size)
B) Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/

Looks great, but I think I've read somewhere that if you use a headtracking device you can not zoom in or out anymore.
Would be a pity if it is true IMO.

The new 1058 beta works a lot more stable and fast reactivates when needed.

Yes the Zooming by 6DoF has to be disabled. You map some keys for FOV +/- and if you have a programable HOTAS you can make smooth zoom work without problems.

I didnt used the zoom of 6DoF anyway... in real life when I lean forward my image stays at the same zoom... I even wear glasses and is still not working
