OK Eyefinity Peoples Here's My Setup (for 3 Screens, All DVI Connections Via Native Port or Adapter):

Creating the Eyefinity:
1. Create Eyefinity Group, Do Bezel Correction if you wish.
2. Give Center Screen the Deferred (minimizing center screen tearing)
3. Set Triple Buffering
4. Force VSync ON.

(i still get some tearing on the left screen, but im running everything maxed and it likes to dip from 60 Fr/Sec to 45 when panning).

Configuring Strike Fighters 2: (if you have a Custom Viewlist.ini, Skip to Step 7)
5. Extract the Viewlist from the FlightDATA.CAT
6. Place Viewlist.ini in <C:/Users/<UserName>/Saved Games/Thirdwire/<StrikeFighers2 Game Folder>/Flight/> Folder
7. Open Viewlist.ini, Goto ViewClass2, Change OffsetDistance=0.06 To OffsetDistance=-.175, Set Max FoV to 240
8. Repeat for ViewClass3 if you want the Snap Views to be pulled back as well.
9. Launch Strike Fighters 2
10. Goto Options
11. Goto Graphics
12. Choose the Eyefinity Resolution from the Drop Down Menu.
13. Choose the Aspect Ratio of your Monitor (16:9, 16:10, whatever).
14. Start a Single Mission and Test.

Thirdwire's web site has a CAT extractor that you can download for free.

You don't have to extract the whole thing either, you can browse, then extract individual files.

Thanks! But I can't seem to get it to be able to read the CAT file. Says there's an error. Is there an older CAT extractor that would work with Strike Fighters the orig?

The old one was definately different than this one. There is an archives dload section. You could try combatace.com as well.

This should work.

Ok last question, since this is Strike Fighters the original, do I place this in the Strike Fighters\Flight folder?

Haven't touched SF2 in over a year and before I got my Eyefinity setup. Just updated to the current April patch and tried this and can't get the wider FOV.

Works for me and 2 other systems:

Configuring Strike Fighters 2: (if you have a Custom Viewlist.ini, Skip to Step 7)
5. Extract the Viewlist from the FlightDATA.CAT
6. Place Viewlist.ini in <C:/Users/<UserName>/Saved Games/Thirdwire/<StrikeFighers2 Game Folder>/Flight/> Folder
7. Open Viewlist.ini, Goto ViewClass2, OffsetDistance=0.06 To Change OffsetDistance=-.175, Set Max FoV to 240
8. Repeat for ViewClass3 if you want the Snap Views to be pulled back as well.
9. Launch Strike Fighters 2
10. Goto Options
11. Goto Graphics
12. Choose the Eyefinity Resolution from the Drop Down Menu.
13. Choose the Aspect Ratio of your Monitor (16:9, 16:10, whatever).
14. Start a Single Mission and Test.


Take a Camera phone pic of your screens running the game, so i can see what they look like.
