Secondary monitor problems

Featured Replies

Having managed to get a secondary monitor connected and operating - at last - I am using it to display Plan G. This is then intended to be connected to, and reflect my FSX Steam flights.

However as soon as I load up FSX the secondary monitor screen goes completely blank.

How might I solve this problem....with your help, of course.

Thanks.

You need to run in windowed mode - that's the only way.

It transpired that I needed to switch on that secondary monitor before booting up my PC and primary monitor. All now tickety-boo.
