You Bet!: I am currently running 3 monitors:
Number 1: Outside view--use your primary AGP GE Force card.
Number 2: Instrument panel.
Number 3: Radio Stack, Throttle Quadrant, GPS
You ,of course, need the extra two monitors.
AND you need two more video cards. I recommend two of the NVIDIA variety, as new driver downloads will affect all cards, and install without problem. The older versions are available retail for little money. $40-$60?
Assuming you are using a recent version of Windows (XP?)Plug in the cards, follow the on-screen instructions. Do this one-at -a time. Go into control panel-display- settings-"Make this monitor part of my desktop" or some such arcane MS language. Move it around to fit your physical monitor setting. Do the same for the next monitor and video card.
After getting all this going. (In "display-settings--pay attention to positioning the monitors to make the mouse pointer move seamlessly between screens) go into FS2002--after you airplane is stable, "right click" the instrument panel and click "undock"--then drag it to the second monitor. Pop up the various other features (radios, etc.) and undock them and drag them to the third monitor or wherever you want them. Then , after you are satisfied with everything, SAVE the flight so that you do not have to go through all the work again.
Hope this helps, and does not discourage.
P.S. So many people , if they have been into computers for awhile, have extra monitors, and for the small investment in secondary vidio cards, can have a whole new visual venue--(particularly with FS2002) is this a closely guarded secret?--I don't think so.
