Hello, Forgive give me if this is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where to post it. I have an ATI X800XT video card which enables me to have two screens on the one PC (There are two slots avaiable at the back of my PC for the monitors)I would like to know is it possible for me to have say, an overhead panel of the PMDG or LevelD on one monitor, and the main panel of either of theses planes open on the other simultaneously?If the above is not possible can I stretch the cockpit of either of these planes across the two monitors so that I have one big cokpit? I have tried this and it worked to some extent but drained Frame rates and it was also only available in normal mode and not full screen mode (I don't think Is et it up right) Any help and advice on how to do either of the above would be most appreciated.Paul

Yes, this belongs in the hardware forum and I'm sure this thread will shortly be transferred there.Anyway, you should be able to undock panels onto one monitor whilst leaving the main panel on another, with little to no performance impact. Stretching the cockpit across two monitors requires you display adaptor to support horizontal span mode, because stretching across two separate displays or undocking and showing two 3D views on two separate monitors is likely to be causing the FPS hit you see. nVidia cards are best at handling this.Gary

Yes, I do it all the time when flying the PMDG and LevelD birds and I haven't noticed any fps-hit whatsoever. I put the overhead, throttle, FMC and radio panel on the second monitor and of course keep the main display on the main monitor.The procedure I follow is first to enter windowed mode by pressing alt+enter. I then open all the panels I want to move to the second monitor, right-mouse click on them and choose...ahem..what was the wording? Well, you know when you see the options. The panel becomes "windowed" and you can now click on it and while having the mousebutton depressed dragging it to the second computer. You do this for each panel (I usually start with the overhead panel) and when you are done you exit windowed mode by pressing alt+enter again.You can close and open the panels using the normal PMDG/LevelD's "hotspots" for it. I often fly in VC mode and I temporarily open some panels on the second monitor that might otherwise be difficult to read/use in VC mode.Some aircraft (like the Level D, PMDG 747, Aeroworx King Air) also has a FO panel and sometimes I then use the second monitor like this:http://www.alcom.aland.fi/kitte/pmdg/b.jpg
