    SoftTH - A software alternative to TH2G

    Not sure I saw anyone mention this, but there is a software solution to the TH2G out that is free. Here is a quote from another thread I posted to on it:

You can mix and match 16:9 and 5:4 and different resolution screens with SoftTH. Only downside is it's a software solution and not hardware, hence it's gonna be slightly slower than TH2G. If you have one of those new PCIe 2.0 mobos with good cards I wouldn't think you'll notice much difference though.

    Youtube also has a few examples of SoftTH in use, just search SoftTH.

    Here is a proof-of-concept example of me using both TH2G and SoftTH at the same time in the same game:

    5X Dell P1110 TH2G+SoftTH 6400x1024:


    DAoC MMORPG at 6400x1024: (Too bad DAoC is a -vert FOV game)


    Info on how I did this:
    SoftTH Forums: http://www.kegetys.net/forum/index.php?topic=84.0
    WSGF Forums: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...ic.php?t=12358

    I probably could of also added in the overhead projector in the proof-of-concept with the last free video port, but it wasn't a part of what I was testing at that moment.

    Hi

    Im really impressed with your demo rig there. Looking at the SoftTH site it sounds like FSX doesn`t play very nicely with it. However, do you know if it is any good with FS9? Have you had a chance to run any Flight Sims on it yet?

    My pit is being built on FS9 and I am looking at options around the visual system

    Thanks

    Hello,

    is there anybody, who succeded in having work FSX with SOFTTH ?

    As I have deleted all the FS9 from my computers, it would be nice, to try it with FSX.
    Unfortunately I wasn't successful.


    Happy landigns

    I'm mostly a MMO gamer. I've not tried it with any sims yet. I've been following sims for awhile now, just not gotten into using them much yet.

    This looks like something real interesting, well worth looking deeper into.

    If the mouse is an issue then Wideview outside view pc might be the solution.

    On the other hand : I uses one monitor for everything and when flying I uses a KVm switch to transfer though my DualHea2Go to my 2 projectors ( unfortunately Vista does not support expanded desktops )

    So for me a mouse on one monitor would be enough.
