It might be en nono action.
But I don't think the response is correct.
How about a warning or an explanation?

@olaf28

Sure, would have been nice, but I'm used to how they do it over there nowadays! Sadly!

Triple Monitor AA setup with reduced left/right monitor angles (Updated 11/05/2020).

Code: Select all

Standard game generated triple file has side angles of 45 degrees and therefore so do my Triple.AAv5 files.
The attached file contains 3 Triple.AAv5 files with reduced angles of 33.75, 22.5 & 11.25 degrees.
All setup info is contained in each files header for future reference.

For 33.75 angle file:
Set FOV values as follows (center is your usual FOV):-
Left FOV=92.5 : Center FOV=60 : Right FOV=92.5 
Left FOV=87.5 : Center FOV=55 : Right FOV=87.5 
Left FOV=82.5 : Center FOV=50 : Right FOV=82.5 
Left FOV=80.5 : Center FOV=48 : Right FOV=80.5
Left & Right FOV = Center FOV + 32.5
(Left FOV/2) + Center FOV + (Right FOV/2) = Actual FOV
(92.5/2) + 60 + (92.5/2) = 152.5
Set CENTER horizontal_fov_override: 60.0
Set LEFT & RIGHT horizontal_fov_override: 92.5

For 22.5 angle file:
Set FOV values as follows (center is your usual FOV):-
Left FOV=90 : Center FOV=60 : Right FOV=90 
Left FOV=85 : Center FOV=55 : Right FOV=85 
Left FOV=80 : Center FOV=50 : Right FOV=80 
Left FOV=78 : Center FOV=48 : Right FOV=78
Left & Right FOV = Center FOV + 30
(Left FOV/2) + Center FOV + (Right FOV/2) = Actual FOV
(90/2) + 60 + (90/2) = 150
Set CENTER horizontal_fov_override: 60.0
Set LEFT & RIGHT horizontal_fov_override: 90.0 

For 11.25 angle file:
Set FOV values as follows (center is your usual FOV):-
Left FOV=105 : Center FOV=60 : Right FOV=105 
Left FOV=100 : Center FOV=55 : Right FOV=100 
Left FOV=95 : Center FOV=50 : Right FOV=95
Left FOV=89 : Center FOV=45 : Right FOV=89
Set CENTER horizontal_fov_override: 60.0
Set LEFT & RIGHT horizontal_fov_override: 105.0 

[color=#FF8000]Important note:
Set in game F4 FOV slider to 40 to ensure full vertical
movement, even though it shouldn't affect the view it
does prevent you looking down if left on a high value![/color]

The attached low quality pic is just to illustrate the difference.
The pic 1 is standard Triple.AAv5 with FOV 60 on all monitors.
The pic 2 is this new Triple.AAv5 Reduced angles file 33.75 with Center FOV=60.
The pic 3 is this new Triple.AAv5 Reduced angles file 22.5 with Center FOV=60.
The pic 4 is this new Triple.AAv5 Reduced angles file 11.25 with Center FOV=60.

[color=#FFBF00]ATS/ETS2 Additional non standard screen configurations to try for Single, Dual, Triple or Quad screen setups.

This is excellent work! I have been searching for a long time to try and work out how to set up my triple screens correctly. I have 3 x 27" monitors with a res of 7680 x 1440. The FOV of my center display is 53 and the angle between the side displays and the center display is 53. Could you help me with what figures I should be plugging in to multimon_config for my setup. I have tried to work it out based on your settings above but have not been successful so far.

@PzR Slim - Thanks for comments.
My files are for reduced angles, less than standard 45 degrees. So side monitors are further away from the driver.
You say your side angle is 53 degrees, so they must be closer to you and therefore you must have a tight space for your setup? I'll have to have another look at this, it wasn't easy and took far too much time to workout, i'd hoped that my files would have put an end to all this!
You can't play with FOV values to fix it, it need new frustum settings first then FOV setup.
I'll have a look and see what i can come up with. If what i've wrote is incorrect to your setup then please reply to correct me.
Attached a quick sketch to illustrate angles.

Yes, the red lines are how my monitors are setup. I do a lot of sim racing so only sit 24 inches from my center screen to increase immersion.

I would really appreciate any help you could give. I've tried changing the values but don't really understand what each setting does despite your very good explanation!

@PzR Slim - Ok, thanks, just wanted to confirm we were both talking about the same thing before i started.
Yes i did try to explain, the problem is i'm just guessing this is the right way to do it with lots of trial and error. Scs may well know the right/easy way to do it but don't share any info to help.
Nice setup, i'd be worried that to monitors over heat or is there ventilation across the top for heat to escape?

Anyway, try attached file already setup as FOV 53.
custom 53 multimon_config.zip --> https://mega.nz/file/f0YQDCCL#_Wfap3iz- ... uBzKaEdvAM
custom 53 multimon_config.zip
Note: I created this by using a game window 3840x720 to get the same aspect ratio as your large 7680x1440 resolution, so should look ok? Only you can tell on your setup.

The below pic is just to illustrate the difference i see between angles, very subtle around passenger side:
Top pic: My reduced 33.75 degrees @ FOV 53.
Middle pic: Standard scs 45 degrees @ FOV 53.
Bottom pic: This custom 56.25 degrees @ FOV 53.

Hope that works!

Hi Truckers,
I just did my first test on my new desktop.
No steering wheel, no pedals, just a new graphics card: ASUS ROG -STRIX-RTX2060-O6G-GAMING 6 GB GDDR6 and a new secondhand screen

I have played the game with in game all setting at maximum except the settings needed for a good AA.
In addition, I have also set the maximum in everything in the NPI setting.

My screen is now 144hz. With the V-sync on 2 ... I usually had 72 FPS and sometimes it dropped to 55-60 FPS in places where it is busy with heavy traffic. But on average my FPS remained at 72.
My CPU was running at around 13% capacity.

A screen shot of a very satisfied gamer

Edit: Found out how to post an Image. If it is to big I wil change it

@olaf28

Try setting r_vsync to "3" instead and you'll get a steady 48 FPS!
