    Hi does anyone know why my second monitor would wake from sleep then never go back to sleep and turn off. I have checked settings including power settings and can't figure out why this is happening. My main monitor sleeps just fine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LWb3D8dizbNYSGmq9

    Hi: I need some help please with my flight sim set-up. I have 3 monitors arranged in an upside down tri angle configuration. I use the two upper monitors for navigraph, browsing the net, etc., while the main lower monitor is for the sim. I'm running into an issue though when using the keyboard and mouse Sometimes, when I type in the browser or mouse click on something on the upper monitors, the sim will take it as a command. For example, sometimes I'll move my mouse to open a new tab on my browser but the sun visor in the cockpit will come down. Or sometimes when I'm typing on my key board, the key command associated with number or letter will do someth…

    hello folks! noob here. i have a cockpit mockup (old sit-down video game) that i'm interested in tricking out with real micro monitors. I haven't done anything with this yet as i still need to get a pc, triple monitors, etc. but i'm interested in replacing the fake backlit gauges with real monitors that tie into the software (whatever that may be). I thought this might be a good place to start. I've seen some stuff out there, but wanted to see what may work with certain systems and not with others etc. I've taken measurements for everything and can supply those if needed. got a flckr account but having a heck of a time getting pics to post Thanks so …

  9. I hope it isn't but I'm a bit puzzled by this. Yesterday, twice w/ a reboot in between, took off from EHAM to EDDM in the FBW320nx. All was well on the ground and after TO up to cruise or so, then severe spikes in CPU load started to happen, and kept happening, such that I had to abort the flight. Of note, I'm only running at 30FPS x 2 w/ FG, to 60FPS. So on the ground and until this aberration ensued, main thread was easily coping, and CPU temp was at around 48-50C, which corroborates its low workload. I quit and chalked this up to server-side issues. Well, today, same same. But, this time I just put up with it until descent started, with this which caused fra…

  10. If you have the above configuration, you're flying on the main display with frame generation enabled, and move your mouse over to click on something on the 2nd display connected to mainboard graphics, do you get a significant reduction in frame rate on the main display when frame generation is enabled? And perhaps much more importantly, do you get any graphic artifacts, judders etc on the main display when you move the mouse back to the main display and click on something? These issues make the Frame Gen mod I'm trialing something I definitely don't want, so am looking at a 40xx GPU....IF it is not plagued by similar issues when using along w/ an extended display off yo…

    Hi all I have tried searching for this but could not find any relevant one. I am only interested in playing MSFS on Xbox, not on a PC. This means ruling out multi-monitor setups because I think this is not possible with Xbox. Happy to be corrected. Does it make sense to buy a 4K ultrawide monitor, if it even exists? I am playing right now with a 21" monitor and would be happy to get a monitor that can give the experience from two similar monitors. I have looked at Lenovo Legion R45w-30 and LG 49 UltraGear 49GR85DC-B but these are not 4K. I will also be using the monitor for office work and watching movies and maybe FPS, RTS and racing in the future, th…

    My trusty old LG 27" IPS FHD monitor has come to the end of its life and cannot be repaired. I will now have to buy a new one. Ideally, I would like a QHD 27" monitor (my card is a GTX 1080) but looking at prices, they are roughly twice the price of FHD monitors and frankly I don't want to spend extra money that I don't have. I have been quite happy with FHD for the last 6 years, so my question is, what would be the best FHD to buy for Prepar3d, at the budget to mid range level? Brands readily available are Samsung, LG and Dell. Edit: I just found this on special. Dell S2721DS 27" WQHD (2560x1440) 75Hz 4ms IPS AMD FreeSync, any good?

    Hi, Been having issues with all of Nvidia Game ready drivers lately, They all seem to give my center computer/monitor a black screen after a while (have to press windows key on keyboard to get screen back) and then I lose half my frame rates. Do the studio drivers have Geforce experience so I can add tint and bloom into the mix of XP12?? Thanks

  14. Sorry for the long title. My gaming laptop so far is more than able to run MSFS with medium and high settings (using Frame Generation+DLSS). But my laptop screen is only 15"6 inch wide. Been researching a bit and it is possible to make use an external monitor as the main one and set the laptop monitor to off. Some say it even increases FPS (although that's not my objective). Please kindly share your thoughts and experience (or experiment) so I can decide empirically that this is might be a good (and cheap) idea to add immersion I thank you beforehand

    I would like to setup 3 x 32inch monitors; would it be better to use Matrox triple head, in stead of connecting directly to GPU ? with 2080 GPU my FPS drop was high, now i have RTX3090, but the triplehead could reduce the FPS drop as it behaves as 1 screen ? or not ?

  16. Ok, probably a silly question. How would an image quality compare between HD monitor at 1920x1080 and 4K monitor with resolution set to 1920x1080 (in MSFS for example)? Would it be the same or would the 1920x1080 look worse or better on 4K?

    Hello, My beloved 2080Ti died yesterday and I need a quick replacement before MS2024 requirements are announced. I just need a card that would perfectly fit into my 2018 ASUS MB (I have [email protected]). I'm thinking about getting 4070Ti in Microcenter tomorrow. Also, I'm worrying if 1,000W PSU would be enough. Thank you in advance.

  19. Since I am using a 4090 card, I waned to upgrade my current 40" 60 Hz monitor to a 50" 120 Hz one. I was hard finding a 50" 120 Hz TV for under $1000. But I finally found a LG QNED 50" open box/new for $450 at BestBuy. So I pulled the plug and bought. I have been getting around 120 fps and was wondering if a 60 z TV has hurting me. I really can't tell the difference yet, but it looks amazing. I like how big the gauges as now - almost real sized while not having to zoom in. I always thought the bigger the TV, the less frame rates you'd get, but that is not the issue. I took the 40" HDTV and made it my main monitor on my non Flight Sim computer.

    Hi All, I'm currently running six screens off my 4090 and two motherboard display outputs. I use the 4090's three display ports for the main MSFS displays and the other three displays for other various things. I'd like to add another couple of touch screens and purchased a USB C to display port adapter in the hope I could get another couple of screens through USB-C connection but alas it didn't work (perhaps because I'm already using the two motherboard graphics ports). So now I'm thinking of adding another cheaper NVIDIA graphics card (perhaps a 3060 or 4060). What I've never been able to get my head around is PCI-E lanes. I'm not usi…

  22. Hello folks, I have currently RTX2080 with i9-9900 which for most cases work fine. However I was thinking to get RTX4060TI(16gb) or RTX4070 which I see its price is actually very good https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/16GB-MSI-GeForce-RTX-4060-Ti-Gaming-X-Aktiv-PCIe-4-0-x16--x8-Retail-_1498811.html as I am not looking currently to do major upgrades to my machine (I was tempted to actually upgrade to RTX4090 but I guess that needs a CPU upgrade otherwise I would assume is a pointless investment?). Anyway, thoughts? I only fly with 1440p resolution.

    Morning All, I'm looking for advice on the best GPU for XPlane? I'm a bit tempted by the 4090, however I don't currently use 4K (yet) and the price is very steep. The newly announced 4070TI is a possibility but the 12GB of inbuilt memory doesn't seem that much? I've just completed a new build, using my old GPU but currently the FPS are not what I was expecting, after following Q8 Pilots XPlane set up video for a medium PC build. In the Hot Start Challenger 650 , I'm getting 22-28 FPS at EGGP. My current build is: Windows 11 I9-13900K 64GB DDR5 1080TI GPU Thanks, James

    Goodmorning. Merry Christmas. I need some advice. I can't decide between the 4080 and 7900 XTX for my new build. The 4080 is 200 euro more, but need some more psu power too. I'm going to use my QLED 75 inch 4K. So i'm a bit worried about the VRAM. Although I play also other games where raytracing is better and the 4080 is more power efficient. I'm pairing it with a 7800X3D. Already ordered the 4080, but it hasn't shipped yet so I can still swap it for the 7900 XTX. Thanks

    I am limiting this to 1440p (2K) monitors, since it's what I use. My opinions: 1 a 16x9 aspect monitor in size 34", 2560x1440 gives too narrow of a view. 2 a 21x9 aspect monitor size 32", 3440x1440 gives a better angle but the vertical size of the screen is too short, less than 17". 3) Combining two 34" 16x9 into 32x9 aspect will give 5120x1440which is too wide because MSFS will elongate (distort) the images at the edge of the screen quite a lot. But the large image is breathtaking. 4) Combining two 32" 16x9 and then shrinking (dragging with mouse) the MSFS image to be about only 2/3 of the way across the combined screen will give much less disto…
