How-to Triple Screen? - WRobN - 06-29-2015
Hello,
NOTE: I PLAY ON UNOFFICIAL SERVER, SO I AINT CHEATING WITH FOV!!!!
How to get this: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=14842
working with dicovery?
All i want is to use my 3 1680x1050 monitors in surround with this mod.
So thats 5040x1050
But i cant get it working, no matter what i do and what resolution i set.
Can anyone help me out plz?

Short answer: you can't.
Long answer: Even if you could, it's either cheating or madly impractical. Changing your FOV in the ini files is considered cheating because of the PvP edge it gives (also some bloke devised a way to shoot all your guns 360 by modifying cameras.ini). You could technically try without changing the FOV, but then gameplay would be incredibly difficult.

Im not playing on official server, but my own. so no cheating here.
And it works with vanilla freelancer.
And i find this "triple screen is cheat bec you see more" the weirdest nonsense one can think off.
why? Because the following statements are also true:
Playing on 1920x1080 is cheating bec you see more detail than vanilla fl permitted.
Playing on a big screen is cheating bec the ones with smaller screens have more difficulty to see things.
Using a gaming mouse is cheating bec its more precise then normal mouse.
Using macros on keyboard is cheating bec people who doesnt have macro keys cant do it.
Using anything better then mono-audio is cheating compared to people who dont have stereo or better.
Using a low latency monitor is cheating bec you have less trailing then someone with a old crt monitor.
using lan better then 56k modem is also cheat bec your conn is better then some others...
etc...
anyway, i still like to do this on my own server.

No solution?
RE: How-to Triple Screen? - Swallow - 07-04-2015
I suppose, you shall connect three monitors into one wide monitor, with given resolution and only then FL should pick that resolution up. To change FOV there were some ini files... Something related to camera. So your goal, I think, is to try to make a system resolution (desktop resolution) that wide.
RE: How-to Triple Screen? - Danny-boy - 07-04-2015
If all of your monitors are the same resolution and you have a nvidia graphics card you can set your monitors up so that they act as one big screen essentially.
First double check and see if you have an nvidia graphics card, then if you do I'll walk you through setting it up.
Though I am not sure how you would change the fov with DiscoFl

I think the part I've bolded might be the issue, since Anti-Cheat will treat any difference in the ini files as cheating. I'd be careful with that.

First off all, Danny-boy im no noob, i dont ask for how to set up nv surround, i ask for why this (the weblink) wont work on the Discovery mod...
Secondly i know to change the ini files myself, i managed to triple screen FL, but this mod does something that causes triple screen to fail.

Yeah, don't do it. Not on this server. You'll be banned for cheating as it's against the rules to change any .ini file. Please don't do it.
