December 18, 201114 yr Author Hello. Chuck ......Humm, assuming that TH2GO turn the 2 monitors into one, and the fact that I'm able to mPve instruments to one of the monitors when on a full screen, I do not understand why can' t I keep drag them to the other mOnitor as well ??????
December 19, 201114 yr In full screen, the gauges panel won't stretch across such a wide screen. Well documented problem using TH2GO and running in 2D mode. what happens is, the gauges either don't show ( just black rectangle) and the mouse curser goes nuts. The common fix was to reduce the size of the gauge panel by 1/3 in the panel cfg file. This is for 3 screens of course, and then the gauge panel only showed on one screen. I can imagine your situation is similar, but you would probably have to increase the size (width) of the panel in cfg, ie, X2. Not even sure if this will work.First though, I would just reduce the resolution in the Matrox display settings for the 2 monitors, Lower settings may allow the panel to stretch. Start around 1200 width for each screen.Hey Chuck, I run 5 monitors in full screen mode in FSX. 3 for TH2GO and another 2 for gauges etc. never used windowed mode.Ron.
December 19, 201114 yr My deepest apologies for giving incorrect information. I should be flogged! Hey, at least I kicked the topic to the top of the list for a short time -- no one was answering up until then. But seriously, this is a shortfall in FS9, but I guess they conquered it in FSX (?).Chuck (AKA Sir "Too Quick On The 'Post' Button") Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

December 19, 201114 yr Hi Chuck,you weren't completely wrong mate, FS9 'required' you to be in windowed mode, in order to undock and move views to another monitor, then, if I remember correctly, some 3rd party add ons, only worked in that mode.One of the 'features' of FSX is that you can undock and move in full screen. Some still use windowed to start and shut down in order for Windows to remember the positions. :Praying:Have a great Xmas, damn hot here downunder.regards,Ron.
