Will BoB2 run on multiple monitors? I've got a 3 monitor setup using nVidia Surround and am so far running Rise of Flight and FSX on the setup now. I wanted Over Flanders Fields and BoB2 on it, also. OFF seems to be a no show except if you use SoftTH, which I don't.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to your question as I have only one monitor. The BDG at the current time does not have a Beta Tester who runs multi monitors. I do not remember a player running multi monitors whon has posted recently.

I guess your only hope is a player who runs multi monitors in the manner you want who will answer and assist you.

This guy had ATI "eyefinity", which had some trouble getting
started, but after some struggle with the way the driver talked
with Win7, he got it going, and then just selected the required
resolution - 6048x1200 - in the resolution selection drop-down
menu, where it appeared. I would guess the nVidia one will work
similarly, but typically for nVidia, with less hassles getting the
driver to behave initially:

Well, I guess there's some hope then. I originally got interested after reading about multiple monitors and watching gaming videos. Just by luck I had a computer that already had the hardware for nVidia surround. I also configured another computer for Eyefinity. I gave up on the AMD Eyefinity. The manual was too obtuse. I got it running but it was a real PITA. Surround almost fell in place. Thanx for the info.

I run this on a Triple Head to Go setup.

The only issue is that the "Zoom Out" is not in the same perspective as it would be on a single monitor. It doesnt go back as far on 3 as it does on 1. Im guessing its some sort of aspect ratio issue.

Cant wait for the new version.

I originally tried 3 monitors with Eyefinity. It worked but I found the bezel compensation directions too obtuse. Tried nVidia Surround and that was a lot better. Then I found that Matrox had already figured out the configuration of a bunch flight sims, so I went with the Triplehead2go from Matrox that Snake mentioned. Costly, but a lot simpler. Even went with 3 Dell monitors for narrow bezels. Works with BOB2 and OFF. Now if I had a WW2 Pacific air war sim that I really liked, I'd think I'd be flight sim heaven. I'm trying Pacific Fighters but the landscape detail is on a par with MS Combat Flight Simulator 2.

Waco, have you looked into Il-2 1946, available very cheaply at 'Good Old Games', I believe, and which contains Pacific Fighters among much else-the essential difference is that this version is both upgradeable, with new official patches, and moddable, leading to huge graphic improvement, along with much else. The modded game would be almost unrecognisable compared to Pacific Fighters.
