Were there ever any 3-screen arcade racing games?

softTH will let you span all your monitors accross as if they were 1 giant monitor.

my cabinet runs 3x 24" monitors
It uses an ATI card, so I run eyefinity to combine all 3 monitors in to one big monitor.
I couldnt get model2 to display properly with my set up (it looked stretched) but model3 and the dolphin emulator work perfect.
If you like playing racing sim type games too (pc based= then 3X monitors IMHO is the way to go, you get a much better sensation of speed.
any questions let me know.

Yes, you are my new hero and racing cab guru (well, you and BadMouth). How do you feel about a combo racing/flying cab? I'm thinking a right-hand flight stick and left-hard throttle will not get in the way of a good racing wheel in the middle…. :)

Ha, thing is if you are modding an existing cabinet you will have to butcher so much to get 3 screens in place.
The car sim + flight sim has been done before. Ive seen a video on youtube, I dont think the guy was off here though.
If I liked flight sims I would probably do the same.
Check youtube for racing flight sim...
This guy made a rotating piece on the right arm, where he fixed the flight stick on one side and the g27 gearstick on the other. You then unclipped and flipped it to change them :)
I think with anything it needs to be easily inter changeable otherwise it will never get used. So you will need to design a big unit to hold both. His was massive.
This was the main reason I built a driving cabinet was I could never be arsed to take my wheel from the cupboard and scew it all in and put it all away again.
Keep us updated :)
Are you building from scratch?
