Hi to all, I am flying from the start with this beautiful addon, and know that I am a little bit more equipped with hardware ( MCP, EFIS, Radio etc ), I want to fly without the VC. So I open each gauge ( FPD, EFIS FMC ), I undock them and put them on my second screen. As soon as I put more that 1 window, I loose 5 fps per window, so with this 3 gauge, I go from 25 FPS to 8 to 10 FPS.

If I put FSX in Full screen then every thing goes back to normal, but I prefer to remain in window mode, so that I can use my 3rd monitor for my electronic flightbag.

Any suggestion to succeed this ?

 

Another strange thing, is that the same thnig in DX10 make FSX crash as soon as my first gauge is put on the 2nd monitor, So I cant benefit form the FPS gain of DX10 mode.

 

Are they any 3rd addon that can make the gauge available on another monitor without FPS drop, or is there a tip to succceed with the PMDG alone.

 

Thank you for the help you might provide.

If your monitors are the same size/res, have you tryed expanding the FSX window over 2 monitors?

 

In theory, you would then have FSX in windowed mode over 2 monitors and 1 free.

Thanks for the answer, thats a good idea. But Two of my monitors are same size/resolution, but the third is small; I did bought it, especially for the gauges. It fits perfectly under my main monitor. If I invert then, my gauge wont be under my main monitor, but aside. But I can give it a try.

Thanks for the tip.

 

Just to clarify my hardware spec because I did forget in the first post

 

I2700K OC @ 4.7 GHZ, 8 G0 of ram, windows 7 ultimate 64 bits and two CG a 670 GTX and a 520 GTX ( for the gauges).

 

I have tried all possible configuration with all monitors and the two CG.
