Anyone get it working with 3 screens? In theory it should be possible as long as GPL gets the list of possible screen resolutions correctly. It should be a case of changing the FOV to something HUGE! (130ish) and bam....3 monitor loveliness :) All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com

I'm pretty sure that guy was using 3 PCs networked with custom views for the 2 side monitors. Its great to watch though, which is why i'd like to try it :). Oh well, i'll try it in 2 days :) All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com
I thought there was a video of someone running Nascar 2002 on 3 screens using a Parahelia. Not sure where I saw it though. "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<ave6pq$i8o$[email hidden]>...

The video was Live for Speed, but there is a patch for N2K2 you can download from papy that will allow N2K2 to do the same ...
