Is there any way to make additional cockpit view windows borderless, so they dont show or overlap when joining them side-by-side for a panoramic view?

Thanks

Heya Bailey Girl,

I don't know what you mean precisely by the term "borderless windows", however, FS 2004 has a Full Screen Mode.  Just hit the Alt + Enter keys together or go up to the FS 2004 Menu Bar (at the top) and click on View/Full Screen View.

I believe that this is what you are referring to.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Baileygirl,

If I am remembering correctly from LONG ago discussions in the Homebuilt Cockpits forum.... you are running multiple monitors?  

Some of what you can do easily depends on your video card, I think.  ATI and NVidea based cards differ.

I think you might have to set up your sedktop in the "stretched" mode...and go full screen... and then do custom windows within that.

Can you give some more detasils about what you are trying to do?

best,

Thanks for the replies gentlemen, and good memory John, thanks for remembering me.  I'm asking this question because it actually pertains to a possible display solution for homebuilt cockpits.  I'll also paste  this posting in the home-builts section.  Here it is:

The ultimate display system would call for each of the five or more outside cockpit views to be projected onto a screen for a full 180 degree FOV, with each view provided by its own projector and networked PC.  This is obviously very expensive and laborious, so what if we could cut the number of projectors and PCs almost in half by having one projector display the front, right 3/4, and left 3/4 views onto a curved screen, made possible by simply aligning docked or undocked cockpit view windows with each other, using a single screen-width for a panoramic view, and fed to a single projector.  The remaining right and left views, if needed, could be handled by there own projectors.  There's no doubt that this could work, and with minimal loss of detail, but the problem lies in the edges/frames/borders of the windows that I can't seem to get rid of.  Their divisions would be a real eyesore on the projector screen.  So 1) what does everyone think of this idea?, and 2) is there a way to get rid of the borders around the additional view windows?, and or 3) should I try explaining this idea more clearly?  
Thanks Again  :-*    
 

Thank you John and Bailey Girl for explaining this a little further.

I may be wrong, however, doesn't FSUIPC have settings for multiple screen custom monitors?

I'll bow out now since I don't have a whole lot of experience with custom cockpits.
