Full Screen Dual Monitor Misalignment

Recommended Posts

I have configured my two monitors (laptop and external) for use with FSX. I would like to display instruments on the laptop display, while the primary monitor shows the VC or another view. When I start flying, I get graphics on my main monitor, and my secondary monitor (laptop display) shows the black screen, as expected. However, the black screen (or any views that I drag into it) is not "lined up" with the secondary monitor! It is shifted toward the main monitor, and I can see through to the desktop of the secondary. Any suggestions?

Are both monitors the same size and resolution?

No. The big one is 1920x1200, 24in. The small laptop one is 1600x900 (around 15in). But I have configured their resolutions in the FSX menu.

Nvidia control panel if you are using it. Configure monitor positioning inside .

I have configured the positions in Nvidia control panel. I think at this point I'm just gonna go with window mode.
