Hello,

You can configure this when using View Groups by adjusting the EdgeOverlap value. This article in the Learning Center covers how to set this up: https://prepar3d.com/SDKv4/prepar3d/vie ... rview.html

Dear MR. Rob McCarthy,

Thanks for your help!

I am using your P3D v4 for three projectors display. Is it not necessary to get an
edge blending software from the third party for our three projectors display?
We can only use P3D inside functions (settings) to implement the edge blending
for our three projectors display. Is it correct?

Very many thanks and best regards!

Dengxie,

You may need to use some type of projection correction software depending on your setup. You can try configuring a view group for your displays and go from there.

Hello Rob McCarthy,

Thank you very much for your help and support!

you said:"You may need to use some type of projection correction software depending on your setup.

You mean that we must look for other projection correction software for our three projectors
display edge blending, P3D (inside) does not provide to implement three projectors display edge
blending. Is it correct?

Thanks and Best Regards!

Hi Dengxie,

If you are projecting onto a flat surface you most likely will not need projection correction software depending on your setup. I recommend configuring your projectors as desired and then setting up a view group in Prepar3D. Depending on your setup that may be all you need to do.
