By a stroke of luck, I've inadvertently built a computer that could run eyeyfinity and another that would run surround. This was a while back and wasn't planned to happen that way. But when multiple monitor display became possible, I also had 3 HannsG 28" LCD monitors. So gave both eyefinity and surround a try. They both work on my setup, although I like surround better because the instructions are more user friendly. IMHO eyefinity detections obtuse, at least for an old my man like me. But I really dislike about both is neither will run Over Flander's Fields on 3 monitors. Just one monitor. Now I understand from a thread here that Over Flander's Fields will run on triple monitors using SoftTH. Now here's the question: could I install and setup SoftTH on the surround computer and run Over Flander's Fields on triple monitors if I disable surround in the nVidia Control Panel? And then reverse that to run Rise of Flight in surround? Being able to do both would put a smile on this old face.

Well looking at SoftTH website it doesn't say Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3 has been tested, but since it says it supports DX9 it could in theory work if you disable Surround or Eyefinity. What I would recommend though is to try finding a config file for your display settings and modify that if it is possible with Surround or Eyefinity still enabled. My discs are not easily accessible for me at this time or I would try to help find it for you, if my circumstance changes though I will let you know!

Of all the multi-display gaming options SoftTH is the most confusing. You have to manually script the configuration for each game.

There is a configurer now, for 2.0 and higher.
