For me the original question still stands.

Could anybody confirm that they can get a workable 2D cockpit under FSX at 5040 using TripleHead2Go Digital using only 3 widescreens?

I can get virtual cockpit without problems. However when switching to 2D the main panel disappears.

I'm using:
[list]
[*]XP Pro with SP3. 32 bit.[/*:m]
[*]DirectX 9c.[/*:m]
[*]FSX deluxe with Acceleration Pack (which inlcudes FSX SP2).[/*:m]
[*]Nvidia Driver 182.50[/*:m]
[*]TripleHead2Go Firmware: 2.3.40[/*:m]
[*]TripleHead2Go Software: 2.4.0.11[/*:m]
[*]TripleHead2Go Surround Gaming Utility: 2.10[/*:m][/list:u]

... and the default Boeing 737-800

Ditto.
Same exact specs and problem!
So I gave up for now on 5040 res and fly 3080 with 2D cockpit.

Too bad Twin Otter and Beaver are all now only available with 3D cockpits.
Need 2d cockpit patches for these addon aircraft for us TH2Go's with four or more screens and real-like cockpit setups.

svet-am, how about you?

It's been a while since I messed with the 2D cockpit. However, I remember it working properly when I tried it. I'll try it again tonight and report back.

I just got home from work and tested 2D mode. It doesn't work. It splits the screen in half horizontally. The top half is all of the scenery and that appears to display okay. The bottom half (where the 2D cockpit should be) is all black.

If I switch to 3D/Virtual Cockpit it suddenly works 100% fine.

Thanks svet-am. That is exactly what I get. Top half scenery ok with bottom half black. Some of the Shift + (2,3,4, ...) panels appear eg (from memory) radio, thrust, etc. However these are really stretched.

Makes me wonder if the main panel is somehow stretched beyond the screen frame and needs only to be tweaked back.
