Multi-Screen Setup

Hi everyone,

 

It seems to me quite a lot of simmers use more than one monitor for reasons such as multi-views and viewing charts. I though I would take a look in the garage and found this 17" CRT screen. I plugged it in next to me 17" Viewsonic TFT, and they both produce image, I can drag browser windows for example onto the other screen and so on.

 

The problem is that when I'm in FS9, and say I want to change to a different chart on my other screen, if I click on the browser tab, FS9 will minimize. It seems that I cannot use the other screen unless I'm not using an application such as FS9. So basically whenever I even want to scroll down on the other screen, I have to alt+tab out of FS9.

 

Do you need some sort of software to perfect multi-screen setup?

 

p.s. I couldn't find a hardware support board so I thought the software board would be the closest to it.

 

Kind regards, Anthony.

On FS2002 you have to "undock" windows (in the right-click dropdown menu for the window) to drag it to another screen - I don't know if you can do the same on FS9.
