Multi Monitor Option for FS9

Postby SSRevival » Tue Jan 03, 2006 3:29 pm

Is it possible for you to run FS9 with more than one monitor if you have the right hardware does the software allow it. Its just ive got a few extra monitors hanging around and i wanna see if i can set up a sorta bunch of screens so i dont have to keep using my HAT switch.

I have 4 monitors on my work computer (ex sim puter) and FS-9 works great on multi monitors. I had FSnavigator on one screen, radio and nav on another screen, the game on the center screen, and the 4th screen depended on which airplane I was flying.

Even using 2 screens is a great experience. If you are running XP it has the required software already installed for multi-monitors.

All you need with XP is a graphic card that has a double monitor output, I may be wrong, but I think you can get them with up to 4 out puts too?.  Right click your desktop, enter the setup tab and activate your second monitor or multiple monitors. XP is already set to go with multi monitors. It is very simple and great fun. FS9 lets you drag and drop what ever panel, screen, view you want. I put radios, GPS and electric panels on my second monitor and sometimes an external view if the approach looks like it will test me

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
