Post by: coffeesoft on May 07, 2013, 03:16:25 am

the light, just a point appears.

thats normal for sunlight you need to be looking more or less directly at the sun
if you run just 1 monitor and turn so the sun is at the edge of the screen you wont get sunlight either

Whelp, yes, if the black rectangle is screen, you will only get the flare within the grey circle AFAIK. I think this could be labeled as bug.

I don´t know if is a bug or not, i want to post this because i think there are less people using triplehead configuration and may it helps.

To me, It would be best if the reflection looks bigger on the center monitor, and starts to fade out when is placed on the sides,
 would seem most natural..., but i don´t know if is possible or complicated.

In any case, thanks for the help
