I'm trying to setup FSX on my system which has two 19" monitors next to each other. I want to get virtual cockpit view on both and so that they line up with no overlap ie a continuous view of the cockpit (left and right seat). I can't seem to get this to work though - there is always an overlap and also the terrain doesn't line up properly.Anyone got any suggestions?Many thanks!

If your video card supports Horizontal Span then you will be able to do this. Most nVidia cards will enable you to setup a single graphics space that spans 2 monitors. I'm not sute that ATI support this feature yet..but I haven't owned an ATI card for over a year now.If your 2 19" monitors have individual resolutions of 1280x1024 then in Span mode your screen resolution will be set to 2560x1024.In Flt Sim if you go into settings-display-hardware and set the resolution to 2560x1024x32 then your VC will span both monitors.RegardsJim

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't solve my problem because that just splits the main (left seat) virtual cockpit view over two monitors. Besides this doesn't look right anyway. I'm trying to get the left hand seat on the left seat and the right hand seat on the right screen but lined up so that there is no overlap.Many thanks.

The correct eyepoint and zoom level can be hard-coded into the aircraft.cfg to save having to do this each time.RegardsJimPS Which aircraft are you wanting to do this for?

The problem is that whilst I can pan the view up/down and left/right. What I really need to do is move the left/right if you know what I mean. I don't know if it is possible to do this. Also I'd like the zoom to be the same for the left and right screen rather than independent. I'm surprised there is not a setting built into FSX to configure dual display or more better screens.Many thanks!

I think what you need to do is move the VC viewpoint. I don't know if the keys are the same in FSX (don't have it in front of me), but in FS9 CTRL SHIFT ENTER to move the view point to the right (and CTRL SHIFT BACKSPACE to move it back left). This way you can "sit" in the middle of the cockpit as you seem to desire.Gary
