Triple Screen Discussion

Thanks smart guy... but we were there discussing and reading waaaaaay before you joined this thread !

We also tried to discuss possible technical solution but it never brought any dev here or any feedback.

For example we know there is a solution called SMP supported for Nvidia GFX cards (used by Iracing BTW) AND supported by UE Engine that could bring proper triple support for Nvidia users.... but we never got an answer :/

For the rest of users they could dig on the N-Display function of UE4 Engine released in July 2018 update but again... dead silence from dev team.

So clearly, triple is not priority, they have tons of work to do before that, they will never be on time for the final release in Q1 2019 like planed (or they will release a non finished game) so we can just sit and hope !

 

And what?
The statement of kunos is clear, need an update every day, by personal phonecall maybe?
How would it influence your real life if you have an answer or implementation at this state? I need triple support as well, but its not in yours or mine hands.
So wait and see.

 

That is the root of the 'problem'... Everything 'speaks' console - the menus, the 'BTW, all of these choices have been made quite some time ago' part of the official statement, the development of joystick/controller support in a CAR RACING simulation .... although it's only us calling it a sim, everywhere on the website it's refereed to as the 'game' (at least I haven't seen SIM, maybe I just have missed it)

 

We know that SMP is only in the VRWorks branch of UE4. Stefano said it would be impractical to develop two separate builds.

 

I personally like that the menus are usable with a wheel. Designed for console... or for people who use wheels = sim racers? People are sitting on their rigs, not necessarily having most comfortable possible access to mouse + kb. I know I don't. And to be usable with wheel, it requires certain simplicity. At least we can have a mouse pointer, Codemasters still didn't add one in F1 2018, after all these years. pCars 2 has similar style menus, I don't see a problem

Some stuff in menu could maybe be reorganized a bit (not sure if weather selection being in different menu than time of day selection is the most logical/intuitive thing)

 

Actually, going back to page 11 is probably not a bad idea:

"Thanks to Aris for keeping me up to date on this topic."
"if it was an easy solution, it would have been already implemented"
"triple monitor dedicated support isn't something we can guarantee in this precise moment, but we do read you and hear you and the topic is in our list"

Also:

Yes, maybe we should have a menu called Time/weather that incorporated both.
And it would also be practical to be able to select all of that in the Practice menu (or where you select type of race and stuff).

 

It's also good when in VR so you don't have to feel around trying to find the mouse

 

not sure if we are authorized to post youtube links here? but a YTer named Lets Go race has a 0.5 release review out showing his triples set-up and the side displays dont seem stretched at all.

people in comments section are asking him to confirm how he set that up but he has not replied yet

 

Just a guess: Simple Runtime Window Editor, SoftTh or similar?​

 

Please, devs, answer this guys. "True" simracers deserve special attention.

 

i am asking him. been using SRWE a while ago when I still had only 2 screens to avoid having the steering wheel too much towards the bezel links and it was working OK. was of great use in FPS games as well so I might look back into how to set it up and give it a try because from the video it really seems to work nicely.

His side displays seem quite narrow angled though and his shooting camera angle might give a better impression vs what it really is but worth a try me thinks.

 

Should have call you Smart A.s.s... but i was not sure

Already discusses this month ago and it does not work.

And they are not limited to what UE Engine does... they can implement, develop their own plugins. Based on the fact that some major work was done on the VRworks branch, they could use it to understand and code their own plugin for planar projection on multiple screen...
Is it not the main benefit using an existing engine to save time and use it to code your own plugins ???

The fact is the Gopro like camera angle are modifying/distording the image so you think he may have a good set up when, in reality, this guy sees the same thing as you are on your setup.

 

Love you too!

Pic of mentioned Youtube Video:



Just have seen that video, there is no triple support at all, just streched.
He can't look out of the window on the right side. Wouldn't see opponents right beside him, like you would in AC.


Comparison triple screen ACC vs. AC true triple support:

 

dont think I ever mentioned he had achieved "triple screen support" on his own, just that his triples set-up looked better and less stretched than mine on side displays....

anyways, he has briefly replied on his YT channel and mentioned he is not familiar with SRWE so at least I am sure he is not using that. might be just camera position and actual side monitors angle who knows.

 

How does it look on your setup then?
Picture?

 

Guys just look properly on viedo, he is not showing fully side monitors just one third of them that why looks ok. Plus he had to set angle of side monitors to fit a fov. Probably its just a message from Marco ''hey guys triples working fine'' with a posting video like that on facebook .Shame. Hope Im wrong. over.

 

It doesn´t look ok!
It is streched.
Nothing special in this Video.

 

wow

I didn't expect I would be flamed like this by just posting a video willing to discuss how someone's set-up would look non stretched to my eyes (again maybe the shooting camera angle or the way side screens are positioned tricked me)

ultimately my intention was to help people who struggle to enjoy or even just play the game because of lack of native triples support

I have no connection with this YTer nor with Kunos, and can play and enjoy the game as we speak but would not say NO to the implementation of this feature in the 1.0 release, thats all

anyways, to the haters then, he has confirmed that he is not using SRWE but just set his triples through NVIDIA Surround

 

Who flamed you?
Just saying, that it looks streched like on everybodys screens, just like on mine, see my pics.
Just discussing, not my intention to offend somebody.

You said "not streched at all".

Still curious, what it looks on your setup.
Pictures please.
