digital_steve Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm going to ask something that may or may not have been addressed before... if it has, then feel free to flame me and glass me!Is there any chance work is going to happen on including multi monitor options or graphic output options (a la DCS black shark, FC2, falcon with falcon gauges etc)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Some work for multi-monitor setups has been done already, e.g. the Matrox TripleHead support. It is also possible to run two instances of SB Pro PE on your computer and link both to a network session containng just these two computers. One can then run the map screen, the other instance would show the 3D world. It does cost a bit performance, but I found it doable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 ... so that's a no then?It sounded more like a "yes" to me. SB can run at 3840 X 1024 accross three screens. How much more multi-monitor support are you looking for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven434th Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Multi monitor can also be interpeted as "multi station"ie having two stations displayed separately from the same vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Speaking for myself, I'm just hoping there are some stablemates for the Chally, a Warrior, Scimitar, and a FV432 would be very nice, if not I'll still be a happy bunny, My glass is always half full, unlike some people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 ummmm...I didn't really understand what you meant here,can you elaborate a bit more on the two instance setup??Start SB Pro PE in windowed mode, and mode the window to one monitor. Start SB Pro PE again, and move that window to another monitor. In one window you set up a network session (just for yourself, or together with someone else, it doesn't matter). You then connect the SB Pro PE of the other window as a client to this session. That you keep in map view while you mostly play in the other window. Ta-daa!And would it then be possible to run these two instances so you could be both driver and gunner or commander and gunner?Or be a gunner with an additional external view?Yes, although the performance penalty may be prohibitive.Also,what are these "20 new vehicles" were gettin?Stay tuned, they will be revealed over the course of the next two weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilo60 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Any chance the "Loader's" top hatch position could be included for the M1A1, to man the top MG... like the screen shot of the upcoming M113A1-4...??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm getting excited. It works best if you have a subwoofer and have the bass cranked up.

You can run two instances of SB Pro PE with a single license, as long as they are both on the same computer - which, of course, makes it difficult to play with your buddy as you'd need to take turns who's in control of the mouse and keyboard. If you want to run it on two computers, you need a second license. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
