Big screen Railworks?

Just an odd thought that occured to me.... has anyone run Railworks on a 60 inch (or bigger) screen? Does it look as cool as I think it would?

I plug my laptop headphone output into my home stereo... the walls and floor rumble! It's almost like the real thing (I miss my house by the rr tracks *!sad!* ).

Hi Tori,

I run RW on a 3 screen setup using Matrox Triple Head and it's awesome. Thanks for the C & O route. It's pretty awesome also. The 3 19's give me a 45 inch diagonal.

This is something I always wondered. Would it be possible to have the F3 map in one monitor, and everything else on another monitor?

I use a 1080P projector with a 100 inch screen, the pic is excellent.

This was something I wanted to try out a while now, but your post finally gave me a good reason to do so. I already have my TV connected to my PC to watch movies, so I gave it a shot and tried out RW in FullHD resolution. It's running more or less the same as on my Tft with 1600x900, but wow what a difference from 21" to 42" :D Just could not sit on my couch as I do while playing XBox, because I couldn't read any of the texts from more than 1.5 meters away, but I grabbed a chair and my wireless mouse and keyboard and it was not a problem at all. FPS at about the same rate as usual, a bit more CPU usage and no noticeable stutters or loading brakes within the drive. If just Windows would not be so annoying when setting up dual monitor setups I'd only use my TV for games from now on.
Brought you some pics from my drive in the career scenario on Barstow - San Bernadino in full resolution:
Pic 1 - Pic 2 - Pic 3 - Pic 4
obviously too big to show them here directly *!!wink!!*

I have a dual monitor set-up and it was easy as pie using Display Fusion.
It also gives you the ability to have different desktops on them.
