Hi all,Just bought a second TFT monitor to hook up to my Radeon 9800 Pro. I want to be able to extend the same view on the first monitor across both monitors like you can 'extend your desktop' in Windows XPMy system:AMD 64 3000+MSI Skt 754 mobo120gb HDD1.5gb RAMfs2004Do I need to get something like WideView to make this happen? At the moment works fine if I want gauges, different views but doesn't like me trying to get say spot view across both screens.Thanks for any advice you can give

Personally I just open a new window inside FS and drag it over to the second monitor. I have it point out the left-front window of a VC, make sure it's lined up with the main monitor and go. You don't really want the center of your view to be occupied by the space between the monitors. I find that having the left view and main front view gives me the what I need to make it believable. (Watch out, I got a little queasy the first few hours of doing it)Also, I use the 2d main panel view for the front at 75% zoom, then use the VC at 75% for the left monitor. For some reason using the VC for both makes strange things happen with textures with most aircraft.__Josh

If you want to use the virtual cockpit and external views stretched across two monitors it can certainly be done if you use the ATI Catalyst Control Center. The control center does require MS Netframework 1.1 to be installed. I am not sure whether it works with the 9800 pro but it does with the X800 series.From memory you select the second monitor in the Catalyst Control Centre display properties and right click and select 'Stretch horizontally to CRT'. This will cause the graphics card to treat the two monitors as one much bigger monitor with the taskbar stretched across both. (This is not the same as extending your desktop across two monitors where the taskbar remains only on VDU1).This new monitor will now be listed in the FS9 display properties and you must select it as your new display. If you then select full screen you will now have a much bigger cockpit across two monitors. You cannot really use the 2D cockpit because the bitmaps do not fit the new resolution.I think the nVidea cards may have had a similar facility for some time but I have experience of this.

Thanks Howard. Your suggestion worked fine!
