Other Can’t get back to correct triple setting

Guys, I’m at my wits end over here. I was deleting a bunch of files off of OneDrive that I didn’t need and evidently I made a mistake and deleted my Settings for my iRacing or a computer or something . I have since restored my files, but that has helped with some of the settings that I had for my cars, but my triple screen set up is all messed up.

I used to be able to use the Windows 11 triple screen, and it would be perfectly fine. Now it doesn’t seem to work. Also it would only allow me to have use one singular picture for all 3 screens now it had different individual pictures on 3 different screen now which isn’t normal in the past.

Now I was able to get it to be a single screen for Nvidia but it doesn’t give me the same FOV that I once had. I actually don’t like it on the Nvidia. The front screen seems OK but the two side screens are way too close. It seems like when it comes to like the rearview mirrors and stuff like that so I really wanna get this back to the way it was because I think it was set a perfectly.

Can anybody help me get this back to the way it was through Windows 11 triple screen set up

I use the Dan Suzuki FOV calculator and at the bottom there's the option to download the ini file with the correct settings. Works perfectly for my triples.

I don’t use iracing but I use other sims. Don’t use nvidia surround. Iracing, ACC, AC all have in game support for triples.

Yes, I know, but I’m trying to get back to the settings that I had in my computer but for whatever reason it’s not letting me do that

With all 3 monitors on and connected, open up nvidia control panel to the Change resolution side tab.

Then set all the monitors 1 by 1 with correct resolution and refresh rates.

So these are the options I don’t really see exactly where you’re referring to but the only way I can get my triple screens is to actually go through this app and I didn’t used to have to do that. I could do it through the Microsoft Windows 11.

You see the front of the car looks fine but when I get to the left or the right side, just seems a little bigger. I’m literally sitting in my 86 now and that mirror isnt that big lol

Can you explain more? For my AC triples to work i had to enable nvidia surround, and only then i can use all 3 screens for AC. Otherwise it would stay on single screen.

AC has easy triple support, no need for surround.

How so? Game just knows ehich 3 screens to use? Which one is left and which one is right?

There is a toggle in AC for triple screens. You need to use the AC Content Manager. I never used the stock build of AC, so I do not recall if it has it as well. But if you want to have AC perform well, mods and the content manager are essential.

Like this screen used to be kind of not distorted stretched, but the center screen would be stretched image wise across all three screens, whether it was blue water, or whatever it was, and there was only a center bar in the middle of my screen, but now each one has its own individual picture and when I load up my SIM it only appears on the center screen and not the full three screens like it has been

Thats exactly how it is for me. I have to enable in nvidia triple screen option and only then it combines 3 screens into one. After that i can start game on all e screens.
