Morning Gents!
Since shortly I'm running a triple monitor setup with a custom resolution of 3968*1080.
It runs well with all flightsims except WOFF.
The resolution displays in the wirkshop and can be choosen.
But nothing changes and the game remains on the center monitor.

A solution would be to run WOFF in windowed mode together with the tool called borderless window gaming.
Thats how I coukd get CloD to run on my triple screen.
But I can't find a way to enforce WOFF into a windowed mode.
Any help would be much appreciated, because I can't go back to a single monitor. wink

That is possible because I'm running Woff in Windowed mode, do not forget to disable Vsync, because you are now using the best Vsync that is availible, the own Windows10 Vsync.
Here is the surce on :

Scoll down and you will see the instructions.
it does not need borderless gaming software same btw when using Bos and Rof.

Edit great to see you here, I did recieve from this guy the Steam Bos version, as a present.

Hey Dutch! smile
Nice to meet you again. I remember you well from the BoS thing.
I'm always around but don't post much.
Thanks for the hint. I will give it a try this evening.
Do i need to edit the CFS3 exe within the WoFF installation folder?

So I tried to add the -window to the WoFF shortcut on the desktop. But this is not possible because I always get an error message.
And I can't turn off the Vsync ingame. it will always set itself back to "driver settings"

Vsync has been controlled by the game and in the Vcard drivers control menu.

Nowhere come something strange, I did not have -windows in a shortcut, but my vsync is disabled in the AMD crimson driver and selected driver setting in the Woff menu. I'm using trackIR5 so every movement would bring in a screen tearing. Monitor is 60hz 2560x1440 27" game is limited to 60FpS. I do not have any freesync.

On my old windows7 boot this -windows at the end, has been written in the CFS3 shortcut. Here the same story, disabled vsync in AMD catalyst and in Woff driver selected. Also limited to 60FPS

Maybe this is helpful

Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what I did to force this into a Vsync mode.

WOFF should use your max res by default. Try a notch down if it's not picking it up.

Maybe OTT but I used to run 3 19" monitors in WOFF 2. Trouble was that one was LG and the others Samsung. I couldn't get the colours to match at all. And the FPS was not good. I then swapped the lot to a single 27" monitor which is much better.
