Since weeks, I moved to a new computer, a laptop. And I found that I’m now able to use 3 monitors, the one in the laptop, and two more, connected to HDMI and USB-C ports. The result us, windows can see all those, but NVIDIA can’t.
In Condor, I can fly “normal” tasks, with no issue, but for a non-PDA task, I found myself unable to start, by taking a screenshot of the start point. After several experiments, I came to a partial solution: To turn unable the third screen, the one connected to the USB-C port.
As the navigation with 3 screens is much more efficient, mainly without PDAs, I’d prefer to use all, but I can’t figure how.

Re: A weird interaction between non-PDA tasks and video configuration
I can't help you with the monitors, because I only have one. But I have a hint to fly without PDA, depends of what kind of flying you wish.
If you don't need the scoring of the task with the speed, only the distance, you can fly without turnpoints in Condor. Create a task only with a start airport and fly the task you wish to fly. No turnpoints in Condor, no turnpoint helpers needed. The flight time starts with releasing and ends with landing. Upload then your IGC file on https://skylinescondor.com and get a OLC+ scoring. It's in my opinion more realistic than the use of the turnpoint helpers. And if you want to document the task with turnpoint photos, just do it.

Re: A weird interaction between non-PDA tasks and video configuration
I think the turnpoint needs to be on the center monitor together with the left wing pointing at the base when you take the screenshot.
If I recall correctly it doesn't work with the side monitors. EDB knows more about 3 monitor setups. I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: A weird interaction between non-PDA tasks and video configuration
In your post it is not clear to me if you assigned all the monitors for use in Condor or not. Nvidia can"t see them? You use the on-board GPU in the CPU..?
"To turn unable the third screen"... In Condor, in Windows or by removing the cable..?
It has changed a few times. In the beginning you had to use the main screen.
With all monitors assigned in Condor, try this :
Start the task with the starting way-point and left wingtip in your left screen when you take the screenshot.

Re: A weird interaction between non-PDA tasks and video configuration
EDB, to better answer, I tested many arrangements. The bottom line is
This configuration that shows both wings don't allow me to star the task
This other, W/ 2 center views, do.
In any case, when I have a screen offset to the right I cannot start the task
And the left wing tip (and the TP) must be in the central monitor
It’s enough to alter the setup in condor – or disconnect the cable. Also, no difference in using the inboard GPU or Nvidia.

Re: A weird interaction between non-PDA tasks and video configuration
Thanks for the reply. I currently can't give you any tips. I myself have also issues regarding no-pda starts with 4/3 monitors connected @ the moment. I have asked The Team for extra info.
