March 11, 200818 yr HelloI cant get FSX to use multiples monitors in full screen when FSX is in DirectX 10 preview mode. When I undock my windows, move them to the secondary monitor and swtich to full screen; the main view is there on the primary monitor but secondary monitor doesnt show anything and I permanently get the hours glass icon. I have to shutdown FSX.When I disable the directx 10 mode, I can use multi monitor perfectly in fullscreen mode.My system is running Vista x64 ultimate and a nVidia 8800gt.I have tried multiple version of the nvidia drivers, from 169.25 up to 174.12. No change. The Vista OS hotfix for multi monitor (mentionned in PTaylor's blog) is installed.Is it another issue with the nVidia drivers or multi monitor simply doesnt work in DirectX 10?thanks! i7 930 @ 4.4 ghz water cooled (1.44vcore) | GA-X58A-UD7 | 6GB DDR3 G.Skills @ 840mhz CAS7| EVGA GTX 480 | 2 Intel 80GB SSD in Raid 0 | 1 TB Hitachi HD | Corsair TX750 PSU | Windows 7 x64 Ultimate | FSX w/acceleration | REX 1.0 | Ultimate Traffic II | Level-D767 & PMDG 747 | UTX-CAN | FSGenesis Mesh | ASA
March 11, 200818 yr Unfortunately, it's called DX10 Preview for a reason. FSX's implementation of DX10 is not complete....hence the term PREVIEW.
March 11, 200818 yr Author Well, I understand the preview thing but after some more testing with a friend who has an ATI video card; multi monitor works in full screen and directx 10 preview on his system.the only other thing different between his system and mine is Vista 32bits (his) vs. Vista 64bits (mine).So my guess is the issue is either with the nvidia drivers (I wouldnt be surprised) or in Vista x64. i7 930 @ 4.4 ghz water cooled (1.44vcore) | GA-X58A-UD7 | 6GB DDR3 G.Skills @ 840mhz CAS7| EVGA GTX 480 | 2 Intel 80GB SSD in Raid 0 | 1 TB Hitachi HD | Corsair TX750 PSU | Windows 7 x64 Ultimate | FSX w/acceleration | REX 1.0 | Ultimate Traffic II | Level-D767 & PMDG 747 | UTX-CAN | FSGenesis Mesh | ASA
