Hi

What is the best settings for EL to work with three monitors. I can't seems to get the HUD in the center.

There are a couple of ways to make adjustments that might help fine tune it. Probably the primary one you want to focus on in the aspect ratio option. In the sw.cfg file (located in the save data folder, default c:\\sw3dg\\EvochronLegacy), the 15th line from the bottom or 17th line from the top is the aspect ratio value. It should show 0 by default. You can set that value to something like 1.0, then adjust it up or down until you get the aspect ratio that fits well with the resolution you are trying to use.

I'm now using Three monitors and it is great!! Thanks again.

Pity I could not transfer my small 1.6M credit from EM. But, I'm pleased that EL is working so-far!!.
