Is there a link to hook up 3 flat screen monitors so I get more of a wrap around view in NASCAR 2003. I am running a ATI X850pro Video card with DVI and my old ATI 9800Pro in laying in a drawer. My current monitor is a Samsung 930B and I was thinking of mabey getting 2 more if its not that big of a deal.. Is it worth it? I'd like a link to read about it or some first hand knowledge. Thanks BillD <VR>Dockmaster#24

Also check out http://forum.rscnet.org/ Look in the " "Building your own Cockpit, Wheel etc... " forum. This is a current topic there. Have patience, the site can be r e a l l y p a i n f u l l y s l o w . . . rqk mkdykstra wrote:

There's a software solution, floating around. Found the link on the rscnet.org forum. But - you can only use it via a PCI-E video card, not AGP (not enough bandwidth). Do some research (via google) and it should pop up. M.
Matrox TH2G or software solution, which is also discuss here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/ Look in the Surround Gaming section. TH2G won't give you good resolution with an ATI card for some technical reason. CL <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

There was a solution for GPL, could work with N2003...it involved having two slave machines as spectators on a network game, then editing the views so that each client was seeing the side view of the car running in the master PC. Would require 3 PC`s with network, though. DF <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Like others have said the Matrox Triple Head to Go is the best (only) option. You will have issues with the Radeon card unfortunately. There is some glitch with their driver architecture that will limit your max size. I know for a fact it works with Nascar 2003 and it is simply awesome with my Nvidia 7900 GS but your mileage may vary. Go here: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/th2go/home.php and run the compatibility application to see how it will work with your card. Here is a link to my setup running a lap around Lime Rock Park in GTR. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v610/talon_90th/?action=view&current=GTRLimerock.flv Sorry about the crappy video quality but you'll get the idea.
