I finally figured out how to make my system work with two monitors so I have my desktop spread across both. I can open a browser in one and Windows Explorer in the other, etc. I have 1920 x 1080 on each of them so I effectively have 3840 x 1080. So what do I need to do to make use of this is FSX? It only shows resolution up to the normal 1920 x 1080.

L think if you view FSX in windowed mode you can stretch the picture across both screens.

I use both my screens to show different views (e.g. my main one is my cockpit view and my other monitor is tailcam, or locked spot or wingview). I find my fps drops A LOT when doing  this though, so I mainly just use one

for full screen wideview across multiple monitors you need to setup nvidia surround (if you got nvidia adapter).
but i think you need at least 3 monitors and 2 adapter (at least 200 series, in SLI or non SLI either), or one adapter with 3 output (ie. nvidia GTX 295 2dvi 1hdmi version).
and do not forget to set "wideview=true" in fsx.cfg.

I play on 3 monitors wideview with a gtx 295. works good.
as i said, i dont know if it works with just 2 monitors too.
