He's asking about the Panel.cfg settings?.. to match the angle of his
monitors. See the DIR= below of 45.00 and 315.00 -- change them.

[VIEWS]

VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.000, 0.000, 0.000

VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_WINDOWS=36
VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.800
VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_DIR=3.500, 0.000, 45.000

VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_WINDOWS=35
VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_ZOOM=0.900
VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_DIR=3.500, 0.000, 315.000


notice also the FOR_DIR looks down by 3.00 deg and side_DIR are 3.50
see the SDK's for more info.

Are you using WideView or a Parhelia-type configuration (or other
multi-monitor setup)? As a Parhelia user I have my side monitors at about
30degrees, which is reasonably accurate although not perfect - unfortunately
this comes down to space in my cupboard - can't make them any different!

Would be interested to know if you do get a solution.

It must all be a matter of taste, as with my three Parhelia monitors I have
tried different positions and ended up preferring the three set up in a
straight line! I find this the most realistic solution.

What's Parhelia is it software from Matrox ?

When you climb, do the side images go down and when you decent do the side
images go up ?

No I'am using 2 Asus NVidia N6800 with 2 dvi output con.
so I can drive 4 monitors but I use one for instrument panel

WideView is use only if we put 3 pc with 3 monitors in a client network with
a server.

So we must be able to rotate the graphic of the 4 monitors inside winxp or
fs9

Parhelia is a range of video cards from Matrox - not particularly powerful
by todays standards, but each single card is capable of driving 3 monitors.
Personally I have it driving 3 15" TFT's arranged in a wrap-around
environment, with FS2004 working in 3072x768 resolution.

Yes, well kind of - you get the impression that the center monitor is the
forward view, and the left and right monitors are about 30degree left and
right views - very nice for a sense of surround gaming, and they all move in
unison.

I've posted this before - but here's a photo of my setup -
