Members Ssnake Posted August 24, 2014 Members Share Posted August 24, 2014 Not yet. You can span the view over multiple monitors however, but two is a really bad choice because the crosshairs of a gunner's/commander's sight or binocular view would always be right where the monitor frames touch each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you can still run two (or more) instances of SB on the same machine, you can run a "multiplayer" game from the first window and jump into another position in the second window. Then, you can put that window on the other screen and have a map or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ah, understood. Unfortunately, that's the only way I know of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolf Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I tried this (v3.011 and before) just to use the second screen for map functions, but it lagged terribly. Even if it was only me on my own host as "single-player" (all running on one PC). BUT, with the new/improved netcode in the x64bit version (3.023), it runs 2 instances smooth like silk - impressive! :luxhello: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMiner Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Is there anything special one needs to do to set this up? I haven't done anything on the networking side yet...if that's what needs to be done.Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolf Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Not really. Just start SB twice and let one host the game that the other can join. I will have 2 "Ingolf" playing, one as commander, the other as gunner (or whatever one prefers). Then have one of them just look at map. Very simple. You need to run in "window" mode to be able to drag one instance (map view etc) over to 2nd monitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyfel Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I currently use three monitors for my desktop and would love to have the map on one screen and the 3D world on the other. However, I don't believe this really took off for any tactical or strategic gaming and can only recall one game which used it: Supreme Commander. Even then, I would have to disable my third monitor for it to work. For Steel Beasts, I've played in windowed mode and stretched the window across all three screens to give me about 150 degree immersion from the TC seat (My wife thinks I'm insane, but hey its all about the immersion). I'm wondering if I should just build an Abrams CCTT module in my basement running SB software? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyfel Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm over the river in Norwalk. I think SB would crush CCTT. The graphics are outdated and the AI in CCTT is terrible. Reminds me of Atari graphics. If you don't have human crews the tanks just sit there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
