Dual Monitors/Saving Views?

Postby BTilson » Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:52 pm

I finally upgraded from my 19" CRT to a 22" LCD. My video card supports dual monitors so I naturally want to try it out with Flight Simming :) After checking here once to figure out how to move windows to the other monitor, I discovered that when I create a new flight or exit Flight Sim and re-open the program, all my window settings are gone and I have to go through the whole process of redoing it again.

Does anyone know if there is any way around this, or any way to save a configuration of my different views? Or is this just a fact of multi-display flight sim life?

Thanks!

I believe if you create a flight, setup your multi-screen views and then save the flight as the default flight, the views will hold.

I tried that, and unless I did it wrong somehow, that approach doesn't work. I set everything up and saved my flight as default, closed and reopened FS, went in through my default flight and everything was back to my main monitor.

Any more ideas?  :P
