I'm thinking of upgrading to a widescreen monitor. Does the latest version of EECH support 16:10 resolutions?

Yes, although note that maximum resolution in any direction is 2048. This is a limitation in directx7 which EECH uses.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I've been flying EECH a lot lately and imagine I will continue to do so for a long time thanks to Arneh and co. \:\)

It supports any resolution your graphics card support, as long as neiter width nor height is more than 2048. So e.g. 3 times 640x480 works, but any wider resolution becomes more than 2048 in total so it won't work.

From the FAQ (and as I said just right above):

"Does EECH support widescreen resolutions?
Yes, although note that maximum resolution in any direction is 2048. This is a limitation in DirectX 7 which EECH uses."

So the only triple head resolution which works is 3x 640x480 (since 3x640 = 1920). Or I guess 2x 1024x768 should also work.

OK GReat what about EE2??

THNX and Sorry for beating a Dead horse but I am trying to figure this out??

I am just trying to determine if it is going to be worth the Cost involved of going triple Projector.. So far I found out some of the Flight sims that can do Triple is Lock On, Strike Fighters series they would be the ones that I would fly there are a fewe others but I don't fly them..

I am Hoping EE2 will do Triple Screen ;\)

You might have more luck in the EECH2 forum. I for one don't own that title.

However, if EECH2 is built around something higher than DirectX7 I would guess that this (directX 7) limitation doesn't apply. Whether or not the game itself was coded to support it I have no idea.
