You don't need antipodes 7 to support a triple screen setup, that code is in 3.6.14.  Just grab the hud_gauges.tbl file from the ant7 release thread and the 3.6.14 final executable and you should be right.

Regarding 3.6.15 on the wiki, that means the feature is only in recent nightly builds, i.e. it's not in antipodes 7, which is effectively 3.6.13 (I think).

The features that marked 3.6.15 are not included in the latest release (which is 3.6.14), but are included in one or more nightly builds.

Nightly builds are the bleeding-edge versions of FSO, but are not guaranteed to be stable.

Please edit your posts instead of making back-to-back posts.

These options:
Code: [Select]
Cockpit Target:
Canvas Size:
Display Offset:
Display Size:

...are explicitly for 3D cockpits that have gauges on them, and do not affect anything concerning the HUD.

The double ETS system you are seeing is a known issue, but in order to resolve it you need to be comfortable with moving files around.

You will need to download one of these three (un del tres) .tbm's:
bp2_mv_root-hdg.tbm (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=1886&type=bug)
fsport_mediavps_mv_root-hdg.tbm (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=1887&type=bug)
mv_root-hdg.tbm (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=1950&type=bug)

You will have to stick the .tbm into a ../data/files/ folder within your main FSO folder. Which ../data/files/ folder this ends up being depends on which mod you are running. for example, if you are running FSO with the mediavps3612 enabled, you will have to move the mv_root-hdg.tbm into ../mediavps3612/data/files/

For further HUD modification, please refer to its wiki page: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Hud_gauges.tbl (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Hud_gauges.tbl)

ok ty very much

now i see...

so there is no way at the moment to resize gauges with hudgauges.tbl options?

the thing is the more de resolution, the smaller all hud elements are rendered

There is a way to re-size the gauges on the HUD, but it is very involved. For most gauges, you must specify a background image that is the size that you want.

I do believe, however, that there are a handful of hut_gauges.tbl's and -.tbm's around on the forums that re-size the gauges according to your selected resolution. I'm sorry I don't know the exact location of where these might be, but you can still try using the forum's search function.
