FYI, I tried to use the Matrox Triple Head Digital with 3 Acer X203W monitors and it was "no go".  When talking with Matrox tech, they mentioned that they have had serious problems with Acers.  Best for compatibility is Dell or Samsung (according to them).  Exchanged the Acers for Dells and the Matrox set up in a heartbeat.  Only problem now is that I can't move back far enough in the cockpit to see the instruments...

Are you using the, "Widescreen" feature of Aces High?

Just to close the circle on this post, I resolved the "too close to the instrument panel" problem by driving the custom "field of view" to 145 rather than widescreen.  Works great now.

The "Widescreen" option is only for 16:10 aspect ratio monitors.  For the Matrox triple head, you should set it to 145 if you are using 3 wide screen monitors.

Oh, thanks for the article Skuzzy. I wasn't aware of all the new video functions.
