I have a multi-screen (AMD Eyefinity) setup and I'm having a right nightmare trying to get it to look and sound right - I'll explain my three problems;

1) If I run the game on 1x monitor (ie. 1920x1080) then it always runs on the right hand side monitor instead of the centre one.

2) However if I extended my desktop and use a resolution 5760x1080 then the view is waaaaay too zoomed in and I can't zoom out far enough - it's as if I'm looking through the virtual cockpit using binoculars! I looked for an FSX.CFG file but I didn't have one, so by saving my settings and calling it FSX.CFG I then manually added the line WideViewAspect=True which made no difference.

3) Although I do get the menu interface music, when I go to the game proper I don't get any in-game sound. My devices are set up correctly in the in-game Sound Settings and all other games etc. work perfectly.

There's something fundamentally wrong here and I'm struggling!

Thanks guys for your answers. Some of it is better, I have the sound now (DOH!) and I have run the configurator (a great link, I've saved it :) )

However even with WideViewAspect=False I'm still getting a very zoomed in view. It looks *exactly* the same as WideViewAspect=True, I can confirm there is NO change in how it looks.

This is a screenshot of how it looks with the WideViewAspect= set to True or False and zoomed ALL the way out!

Hmm... I flew for a bit, used the SLEW function, then all my screen started breaking up :( Screenshot below.
I'm using the latest official certified drivers, no other games break up in this manner.
As well as the above, wny idea why the screen breaks like this?
