Dual Monitor Perspective

Postby Haps » Wed Aug 26, 2009 4:10 pm

Hey guys,

I've been playing with two monitors on a single PC; FSX on XP64, and I'm wondering if it's possible to change my perspective so that the left screen is centered over the left seat (As if I only had a single monitor, and the other monitor is my peripheral...).

Currently the center of the seat is centered between the two monitors... I would like to keep a single view spanning both monitors so that I can control the view with a hat switch of TrackIR, etc.

Help? :)

Are you in Windowed mode or full screen. Your second Monitor is on the Right?
What I do (if I understand you correctly) is I use windowed mode and I stretch the window across both screens...

Then I move the whole window so it's just on the left...

Then I stretch it more to the right. This should provide the "Center" on the left monitor.

But I find I can't always stretch the window to be larger than the desk top.

They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

I hate running in windowed mode, but I will give this a shot... I downloaded and installed EZdok, but that still doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for... Any other ideas?
