Hi,asume i buy this touchscreen: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/10-4-TFT-LCD-Touch...1QQcmdZViewItem Would i be able to use this screen as second monitor to display, for example, my flight simulator gps on? If so how would realise that? Would a second monitor decrease my FPS?Thanks for reading.

Hello from France,Yes you will be able to display you GPS on this screen. Regarding your system I dont think there will be a significant drop in FPS since your GPS window is a 2D view without complex polygons ( I use also 2 screen with FS9 and it's not a problem ). You will plug your 2nd screen and use the nview utility tool to extend Windows XP on the 2nd screen. You will then start FS9 , open the GPS view , right click on it and select undock window ( can't remember if FS9 has to be set in window mode to do this ... ) , and slide the window on the 2nd screen and finally maximise it et voila !

That seems fairly simple. But would i have to do this every time i open up flight simulator, this docking sequence?Anyway, merci ;)

In FS9, if you save the flight, it will reopen with the gauges in the correct place. FSX has problems there.
