Win 10 and undocked panels

[SteveW 1,792]

Thanks Steve.  I use Nvidia Inspector to set the 3D display adaptor setting for FSX.  Just did it again yesterday and verified the settings were shown in the Nvidia control panel

You did actually Restore the factory defaults Don? And then reset up your NI after that.

 

If not do that Restore now and the NI profile will actually be deleted, and have to be set up again. Easy way to create a new NI profile, before closing NCP, make one simple setting in NCP and Apply, the new NI profile will be created. Now go into NI.

I have an Nvidia video card and am using the most recent drivers (361.91)

Thanks,

Don Stimson

 

Found this also - did windows update that driver or did you ? quote below from DTG forum

 

Hi Alan,

This is a common problem with multiple monitor setups. Microsoft installs its own Nvidia drivers in Windows 10. You will need to download and install the drivers directly from Nvidia rather than use the default ones that came with Windows.

Thanks for spending all the time on this Rich.  You must like troubleshooting!  I always get the drivers direct from Nvidia.

 

Now for the drum roll....Steve, I used the restore button in the Nvidia control panel.  Before trying to customize them again for FSX, I powered up FSX-SE and the 737NGX.  Lo and behold, I can now move undocked FSX windows over the second monitor!  It works a little differently than it did in Windows 7 in that it now has a window border around it, but it works!

 

I have to tell you, I really didn't think this would have any effect and was just going through the motions to report back to you!  Thank you very much!!

Awesome I told you Hes the man and again comes thru - thanks Steve well done - glad its worked out Don

 

Get P3D and works great as you have switchs in P3D menu to help with these issues - Thanks Jeroen for that answer

CPU or GPU big difference.

When CPU connect both to the mainboard then go to step 3

When GPU connect both to the GPU then procceed

Win 10 should manage it by itself if not:

right click on desktop -> display settings -> click identify -> drag the screens as required in the "image" above -> done.

Maybe he means the on-chip GPU of his CPU like the Intel i7 has.

First, the in-built GPU is VERY weak and should not be used for P3D, and dedicated decent graphics card is needed to have good frames.

Second, if you want using multiple monitors with your on-chip GPU you may have to activate mulit-monitor support in your BIOS. I'm using the on-chip CPU to drive two side-monitors with undocked windows and had to activate the multi-monitor support.

Hello,

What do you mean by switching? 

Maybe you look for win+p?
