I have two monitors connected to my FSX computer: 50" plasma TV @1920x1080 via HDMI and a 17" LCD @1280x1024 via DVI. Currently the TV is the main screen for Win 7 and LCD is the extended window. I can run FSX on TV full screen or windowed no problem which is great. However, I just couldn't achieve this: a FULL SCREEN 3D cockpit view on TV, and a windowed or full screen view on LCD for instruments/2D panels/GPS etc.The best I could do now is to start FSX on TV with a WINDOWED 3D cockpit, undock the 3D cockpit view into a separate window which I'll leave on the TV. I then move the FSX main window (now with black empty background) to LCD and open instrument windows etc. This works fine provided I don't make either windows go full screen by pressing ALT+ENTER. If I do that the TV will go just black and FSX window on LCD will disappear or freeze. FSX still runs though and I can ALT-ENTER again and both windows will be back and running ok. I googled a little bit but haven't found any info specific to my situation, most were about running FSX across multiple screens like 3x24" LCDs etc. I'll greatly appreciate any tips, as I'm really itchy to make good use of that LCD. If it works well I may replace it with a bigger say 20" LCD since they're so cheap now. A side question is that I couldn't set my LCD as the main window and TV as the extended, if I do that and make FSX run full screen on TV it will crash. Is this normal? Does full screen FSX must run on main display?Thanks!

HiUsing the TV as your main display in full screen mode press the ALT key and select a new view and choose 2d Cockpit, then drag the new view to your second display, if that doesn't work it may be because the 2d view is made up of multiple panels anyway.The way I always did it was to have the smaller monitor as my main display setup to show the 2D view, then grab the scenery part of the view and drag that to the TV, so now you'll have all your instruments on the LCD Monitor and your scenery on the big TV.Hope this helps.CheersMartin.

Thanks for the reply, Martin. I'm basically doing the same thing as you suggested and after trying this again last night my conclusion is that my only problem is unable to run the undocked 3D cockpit view full screen on the main monitor (the TV) while keep FSX main window on the second LCD monitor. Flying with 3D view manually enlarged/maximized on TV while having ATC window, main panel etc stay on the LCD already feels great. Still the catch is that I can't do ALT-ENETER - both windows would black out or disappear if I do. If I undock new windows in full screen mode on TV then FSX won't allow me to move it out of the full screen to the second LCD monitor. I wonder one way to solve this problem is to unify the two monitors into a single desktop to trick FSX to believe it's dealing with a single monitor, then within full window mode (now across both monitors) one can place and adjust different views physically on different screens? Unfortunately b/c my TV and LCD are of different resolutions I can't use Eyifinity to combine them (I did and I ended up having totally wrong resolution, like 2560x1024)Maybe once I replace the LCD with a 1920x1080 one I could try Eyefinity idea again, right now it seems that I have to live with flying FSX windowed?
