> GPL doesn't support 3 monitors out of the box, but it is very easy to
modify
> it for multiple monitors. The side views is run on other computers in a
> network. There is two ways to 'enable' multi-monitor support.

> The first option is to use the default front view and put custom car
camera
> files in the client computers for the side views.

> The second option is to change the field of view (FOV) from the default 78
> degrees to about 47 degrees in all three computers and use the look
> left/right buttons on the clients to get the side views. This works best
as
> i gives a great sense of speed and a more natural look of the virtual
word.
> It does also move the front tires and mirrors to the side monitors, so you
> have to move your eyes/head a bit more to see everything. It is very cool
> and that's how I run it at the moment.

> The custom camera files and instructions for method one is availiable at
my
> web-space.
