Split screen

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby dienamics » Sun Feb 14, 2010 9:22 pm

No doubt there is a thread for this already but...

I have recently rigged up two monitors to my computer, 1 running off the DVI and the other the VGA. Just wondering how you set it up to run dual screens within FSX for virtual cockpit. At the moment I can use VC and drap the knee board, ATC boxes to the right hand monitor.

Any help would be awesome.

Maybe run in windowed mode rather than full screen, and resize the window to cover both screens ?

Ive tried that but no dice. Is there a setting within FSX for this?

As far as I know the FS series have never worked well with dual monitors. I run dual monitors, in full screen mode the secondary monitor cannot display anything, it goes blank. In windowed mode I can drag the view across to the other monitor, and if I recall correctly, could un-dock gauges and panels in FS9, but it was messy and didn't always give the desired result. Haven't tried it in FSX yet.

Tried Google?

Use the term: fsx on two monitors

I have been undocking and dragging windows and then "alt enter" to full screen and then resizing - this has worked pretty well for the entire world tour so far
