I moved the VolarSim back into the workshop too. So far I've had several successful flights and at least one MyAAS flight too. Getting ready to do a flight from KOUN to KDEN in the Cirrus SR22.

When I'm in a sharing mood (and don't look God awful) I stream on Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/sonjakg5yfz
I'm also going to see if I can use the NVIDIA Game Overly to stream on Facebook and/or YouTube as well.
******************************************** Installation Instructions *************************************************
In order to get the NVIDIA Surround to work with disparate monitors (eg: differnt resoulution, odd number of monitors) I follwed the following instructions:
- Code: Select all
We had a client who commissioned an experience that ran through a touch table comprised of two screens, spanned to make one, with a IR sensor touch bar. The experience also included four projectors displaying content on the walls around the table from floor to ceiling. When we built our initial set up, there were no issues having the spanned displays on the table as well as four external monitors so we didn't worry too much about it. However, whenever we had a separate hardware issue that required attention, we noticed that we couldn't get the displays to revert back to the original set up, there was no option to span the original displays, and if we enabled SLI and did so, we lost the option to run other screens from the second card. This was a problem.
We tried everything, but as you know the nVidia documentation says explicitly that you can not have more than one external screen with spanned displays. We were confused due to the fact that it just worked before. So we built a separate PC to run some tests and found the work-around.
First, remove the SLI bridge between the cards. This sounds counterintuitive but we've actually seen a performance increase when removing the SLI bridge on the 1080 TI cards we are using for the experience. Plus, this is how our solution currently works. Once this is done, plug the displays you want to span into the top most card, the primary one, and unplug the other displays from your secondary card.
Second, Go into the Device Manager and find your second GPU. It should be located under the Display adapters and should be the second option. Right click it and choose "disable device".
Third, open up nVidia Control Panel and go to the "Enable SLI, Configure Surround, PhysX" tab. Enable surround and configure the screens you want to surround there. We are currently using two screens in surround and haven't tested with a higher number yet. but this has worked for us consistently. Apply the changes once you are done and try resetting the computer to make sure your changes stay.
Fourth, Once the computer is back up, go back to the device manager and re-enable the second card. Reopen nVidia Control Panel and go to "Setup Multiple Displays". Plug the extra displays you want into the second card one-by-one, ensuring they are operating correctly. Position the screens as you want them to appear and set your spanned screens to be the primary display. Apply changes.
Fifth, restart the computer and make sure your configuration comes back as intended.
I'm not sure if this would help you at all, but in doing a ton of research I couldn't find anything like the setup we ended up utilizing. Hopefully, if someone else has this issue it will help. Good luck developing.
This worked for me and allowed me to set up Surround on the 3 UHD monitors and leave the rest alone.
One thing I have to add, when it comes to MSFS using the surround you have to make sure that the Surround Monitor is set as your MAIN/Primary display in Windows. Otherwise MSFS will NOT see the surround resolution, only the max resolution of your primary display.
