TH2Go and FSX

[Tony Hill]

I am just setting up the TH2GO and am having no problems with an NVIDIA GTX295...except that "Powerdesk" will not open..it askes for permission (must turn that off) and then just goes back to the desktop without any noise, lights, anything. Only reason I want/need it is to use bezel management.

Powerdesk doesn't seem to be updated separately, just got the lates Matrox drivers which I presume includes it.

Any suggestions?

Oh, using f&T$$(&^*& VISTA

GXM say's my sysytem and screens are all compatable with refresh at 57hz (my screen specs will accept 57hz). I do see the new resolutions in Matrox, NVidia control panel "native resolution" and also in FSX. All set to 5040 x 1050. All but SGU. It only has a max of 3840 x 1042!!!! WHY??
So I get real bad video corruption unless I go back down to 3840 x 1042.

Thanks guy's,
Ken

THere you go, this is what you need, it worked for me.
Apparantly the SGU utility doesn't update itself after the firmware update, so if you install this new SGU you will see res. upto 5040.

Good Luck

Great!
This must be a brand-new update?
I will try it later today.

Many thanks,
Ken

Nope. I already have this version and still only max res of 3840 x 1042??

ok, did you try reinstalling your firmware ? try that with the Dec 2008 version then reinstall SGU

3840 x 1024 is, I think, the maximum resolution for the analogue version of TH2GO, and is probably the limit for the digital version unless you use the special dual DVI cable supplied with that version and your video card is dual-DVI capable. (That's not two separate DVI sockets, but one socket supplying stuff for two screns worth of video).

Yep, 100% , I run the digital upto 4320X900 because 2 of my monitors cannot refresh at 57Hz as required.

I'm running TH2Go digital with DVI sockets etc...
Perhaps re-install firmware as suggested above by Kemy?

Is that the famous Peter Dowson of FSUIPC fame?
