Multi Screen

Not that I am anywhere near this level of programing but does any one know if and how to get Torque to run on 3 monitors. I am looking for a front and 2 side views


Thanks

That's really interesting. I don't know, but I plan on following this thread to find out.

The tricky bit, I think, would be setting up the playgui for three different viewports. Once you got that, it'd be easy to feed each one whatever you want, I imagine. by setting up extra cameras. It does seem possible.

P.S. Might be interesting if there's a "rear view mirror" resource for driving games--might have some clues.

Good call. The rear view mirror would a great place to start. I will see what I can find out. Thanks for the tip.

One interesting bit to remember is that many multi-monitor configurations only have 3d-acceleration for one monitor...

Nvidia drivers have an option to accelerate one or all monitors - at least here, 3d on the main monitor gets horribly slow if it's not main monitor only .

Still, it'd be a neat option for some games, for users that have the hardware to match.

A good a resource to get you started on the different views:

I want to do a game like these NASCAR simulators

Maybe even a FPS
