Subject: Cannot make Matrox TripleHead2Go find FlightGear.
Thank you for your reply to my post "Problem with screen resolution" .
I have had some correspondence with Matrox who have not been much help; I am
still trying to use Flight Gear which I am
running with a GeForce 9600 GT graphics card and Vista Home Premium. I
am currently using FSX and X-Plane which work perfectly.
Initial contact with Matrox:
According to the list of supported games FlightGear is included. But
having updated SGU to v 2.10 I see FlightGear in red text and the
comment "Game CFG file not found".
I have installed the latest version of FG which installed without problem. The
program path in Win Explorer is C:\Prog Files\FlightGear\bin\Win32\fgfs.exe but
the path in SGU is C:\Prog Files\FlightGear\bin\Win32 i.e fgfs.exe is missing.
I have tried to type the file name into the window but cannot do it. I
have also run FG and then run SGU 3 times but the .exe file is not
found. I have closed down after each attempt to see if the SGU can find
the file but it has not done so. At present, when I run FG all I can
see is a centre part of the instrument panel in very sharp detail, no
matter which resolution is selected in the FG set up page. Is there
some way to be able to see all the panel and also the view out of the
cockpit?"
Matrox reply
Have you tried copying the cfg file to the specified location to see if that
makes a difference?
It seems that the SGU is looking for the cfg file but it’s located in a
different folder. You may want to complete a search on your system and
then copy it to the specified location.
You will need to search the file in Windows and not through the SGU. Once
you’ve located it then you can copy it over.
Me: How do I do this?
Matrox:What I am suggesting is to
copy cfg file. In order to do this you will need to locate it and then
place it in the root directory where the SGU is pointing too. To do
this, you will need to search your hard drive for this file.
For further support, I would recommend visiting a 3rd party site called
www.widescreengamingforum.com this site has users which use our product can
help you resolve this issue.
Thanks guys, that's a real help!
Can anyone suggest how to set the path correctly?
Thank you
