You should be directly where the blue dot is in the top view visualization diagram, and your eye level should match the horizontal line in the front view diagram. For the most realistic view, make sure you are seated in the correct position.Save the file once finished.įinally, make sure it’s installed correctly and r_multimon_mode is set to 4. You can copy paste directly from the output fields, so you don’t have to manually key in everything. Open the file in a text editor, then take the orange output values from the calculator and enter them into the appropriate locations. If it doesn’t exist, download a basic one from Step 2 of the NPI AA post: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1000Īlternatively, set r_multimon_mode to 4 in config.cfg, and a multimon_config.sii file should automatically generate on game start. Locate the multimon_config.sii file in your Documents/ folder. You can also look at the example setup on the second sheet of the calculator if you are unsure of how the numbers need to be entered in. Check to make sure that the diagram looks like your setup. vertical offset (used to shift monitor up or down by a certain distance ignored for vertical monitors, use bezels instead)Įnter the measurements you made into the appropriate cells the visualization diagrams will automatically update.lateral offset (used to shift monitor left or right by a certain distance ignored for lateral monitors, use bezels instead).bezel widths between monitors (used to adjust the distance between screens not all of them matter, the box will be greyed out if they don't).pitch of monitor relative to forward look direction (0 is facing you, -90 is facing up, 90 is facing down). yaw of monitor relative to forward look direction (0 is facing you, -90 is facing right, 90 is facing left).normalized eye level offset (not a measurement, used to shift eye level up or down by a percentage of the screen height requires screen height to function).bezel widths between monitors (used to adjust the distance between screens).screen width * 9 / 16 for a 16:9 monitor) height of each screen (you can calculate this using your monitor width and the aspect ratio - ex.eye distance to center monitor (can use an arbitrary number to adjust FOV to your preference smaller value equals larger FOV).angle of any side monitors (0 degrees is parallel to center, 90 degrees is perpendicular only values between 0 and 90 are supported).Bit more advanced, uses absolute inputs.Should cover all but the most niche setups.Can shift monitors horizontally or vertically.Can add multiple monitors to one side (ex.Adjustable center monitor plus left, right, up, or down monitors.Allows up to four monitors total (max for the game).Fairly simple to use, inputs are intuitive.Should be sufficient for most common setups.Fixed center monitor plus a left and a right monitor.NEW: There are now two versions of the calculator: I wish they made the “make a copy” option more obvious. I can’t allow edit access, since everyone’s edits will be visible to everyone else. On mobile, tap the three dots to see more options, then it’s Share and Export > Make a Copy.IMPORTANT: To use the calculator, you must "Make A Copy". Simply play around with the perpendicular eye distance value to increase or decrease the FOV to whatever you desire. Link: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2125Įven if you don’t care about getting a mathematically correct FOV, you can still use this calculator to get properly angled, bezel-corrected multimon settings. If you are confused about anything, check over there first. If you are not familiar with the FOV and multimon settings, please refer to my other guide, which explains what a mathematically correct FOV is, shows examples, outlines the prerequisites you need before you start, and provides other useful information. The values it uses are on the second page of the calculator. It even includes diagrams that update in real time to help you dial in your settings! The result should be a mathematically correct view at the specified eye distance, with perfectly corrected bezels and angles (assuming accurate measurements were used). Simply measure a few things, enter the numbers and out pops the exact values that you need to enter into the multimon_config.sii file. This is a Google Sheets calculator that makes it easy to find the correct FOV and multimon settings for single and multi-monitor setups.
