Three views, window-maker tool : new solutions ?
Hi,
I've been a window-maker tool addict for a long time.
Now I found out new advance here : ProSim737 Forum • View topic - Fsx P3d 3xmonitor project setup
It make it possible to avoid the fourth, hidden, zull-zoomed view, so saving some FPS.
It seems to me a great advance. what do you think ?

Re: Three views, window-maker tool : new solutions ?
Can you tell me what the idea is ?
I have a triplehead2go setup.
Can I benefit from this too or is it 3 undocked views and a fourth one hidden...?
If these are undocked views then that will make fps drop, so I am really not understanding this.
I searched on Google but nothing came up about this.

The trick is you don't need a fourth, full zoomed , hidden view like now with window-maker tool.
It runs a "transparent" (black) panel instead, so saving FPS from the fourth hidden view.
PM me and I can send you a .FLT file for example.

Re: Three views, window-maker tool : new solutions ?
Sorry, but I'm not at home these days, so I can't send you .FLT files.
But, if you look at the thread in the Prosim forum ProSim737 Forum • View topic - Fsx P3d 3xmonitor project setup
you can find an example of it.
Don't forget to download the "transparent panel bitmap" here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ncw03ze5kwhjffs/H9JPc99Aae?m
that's the tricky to get the whole thing work!
No, I haven't contacted the windowmaker tool author, but that can be a good idea.

Re: Three views, window-maker tool : new solutions ?
Hi, Windowmaker author here. I've been away from this forum for a while.
Yes, that is a perfectly valid method. When I created Windowmaker, I didn't know about this. While I probably could incorporate it into the spreadsheet, I've had very little time to devote to personal efforts lately.
At some point, I probably will incorporate this, but don't expect it anytime soon.

I use this method for a long time. I do not use a transparent panel. I'm normal, but empty, without gauges. And is minimized. That can not be seen. I have 3 windows only (200 degrees):

Here's the flight and the aircraft with the panel.
