Great. I buyed a non-widescreen 5 months ago, because AH doesn't support it anyway  :furious :rofl

I was disappointed when I saw the three monitor thing.
Then I got very excited when I noticed the enhanced widescreen support. Sweet!

I think you're going to get giant fish-eye lens effects if you spread the FOV out that wide.


I just want to know if you can get the 2 side views set to "front-left" and "front-right" view and keep the middle to front/front-up/front-down, or if they all act as "forward" and you get wacky effects when using your hat in the middle of a fight.

Please, none of you mention this in game.  TxDad doesn't visit the BBS or HTC homepage at all.  Hopefully he won't hear of this in the game, or he'll be buying 6 more monitors for our computers.  :lol

Man, if that thing works like I'm hoping it does, it'd be the end of the need for 8 way hat switches... 

That looks like it really would help some deflection shots too....

'Course if I spent the money to buy the monitors, the computer or car would die the next week :)

I wonder what this will do to those who have been flying with their wide screen monitor flipped vertical  :confused:
Would that change in any way?

I wonder if the triplehead2go is the only adapter that will work. There are other adaptors out there that allow for more than three monitors, so I wonder if those will end up working as well. It is cool though because I've wanted multi monitor support for some time now.

I have wanted a widescreen monitor for some time - but until now, the cropping in AH2 held me back.

Rotate your desk 45 degrees to the left.... Mount the left / right wide screen monitors on the wall. :)

Waffle – Good idea sir, but if it is like my LCD TV, I wont be able to due to all the AC detection I get from my stud finder.
