A simple scenery mod to help with the visual alignment of Triple screens for MSFS in SU10 beta.
Load your plane into icao TRIP and use Parking spot #1
This will put you inside an enclosed 'hanger' made from 2 x 2m colour cubes which you can use to help visually align the side monitors.
To calculate Fov use Parking spot #2
The main Fov markers are spaced 5 metres apart alternating green and red and the distance from the parking spot #2 to the main Fov markers is exactly 100 metres. The short row of red markers are positioned exactly over the spawn point for the parking spot so use slew (y) to re-position the cockpit directly over the centre post.
A direct FoV read out circle is now surrounding Parking spot #3. The spacing between posts is one degree with a green post every 5 degrees and a double height green post every 15 degrees. Again use slew (y) to centre the cockpit over the centre post. The stack of horizontal circle surrounding the plane are spaced at 5 metres
Parking spot #4 now has a spherical projection dome over it with a zenith and nadir. The grid spaced is at 5 degrees horizontally and vertically
v2.0 FoV markers added
v3.0 Circular FoV markers added
v4.0 Spherical project dome added over parking spot #4

Super firstclass - Idea. Thanks a lot for this Tool. Helped me much to improve my 3-Schreens calibration.
Anyhow, it is not SU11 confom at the moment. Could you maybe find the time to recompile it with the SU11 - SDK and then re-upload it? I have many CTD-problems with older - not SU11 compliant - uploads, and so meanwhile I isolate all of them in Quarrantain - backup, that are not SU11-compliant, until their Authors cecomplie them for SU11 compliance.
Hard work since November also for me. I already downloaded more than 1000 Scenerys, Aircrafts etc. within the last 2 years before SU11. Now all of them are de-installed and stored into my Backup. Meanwhile I have again more than 300 fresh (SU11 compliant) updated downloads installed and so now my CTD rate is massive reduced. Much better to enjoy the FS now, but also frustrating to have this work and now to leftout many already beloved older downloads.
Best regards from Germany and always Happy Landings

It will work happily with SU11. Just because Flightsim.to has a stupid SU11 tag that I haven't updated doesn't mean a thing. Kev

Just gave it a whirl in single monitor mode for fun. Impressive indeed! I'll dust off my other two monitors when SU10 lands. Many thanks!

great stuff!

So ... will SU10 *properly* support triple monitors? I've been waiting for this for *ages*!! Thanks for the utility - can't wait to try it out!

Proper support is a stretch for now. It's going to still be experimental in SU10. The key limitation is that you have to have a fixed view as far as I understand, unless this tool makes it so that you don't? Not positive.

Where do you find the options for adjusting the windows?
