Thanks for all the help everyone is offering

 

I am now using FS2004 I like it alot better now

 

I use TWO monitors and cant seem to get them to work.

I dont try and get a full screen what I like to do is fly on one and drag and drop

insterments on the other one.

 

Any suggestions?

thanks

I tried experimenting with two monitors.

 

You may know this already but with each instrument, for example the radio stack or throttle quadrant, you can right click and undock the item. Then you can move it outside the main FS window, on to the other monitor.

 

Although I must admit I find the other monitor useful for putting squawk box, and all the other applications I use when flying on VATSIM. Then you can fly full screen which I like a lot more.

Hey,

 

I'm running on 3 seperate monitors, and if you've got Vista 2 or more monitors could be possilbe without this, but have you ever heard of Matrox TrippleHead2Go?? I have it, and I recommend it. Only problem is that you should get/purchase WideFS because then you don't have to configure the monitors every time you start a flight...But other than that, the view is total silence. But be warned the FPS does drop even on a High End PC. Hope that helps, not sure if I can send you a link on the forums though

 

Take care,
