I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but I have found that you can 'pop-out' seemingly any screen within an aircraft cockpit and move it to a separate monitor, I have been using this a decent amount. The below image is what happens if you pop out multiple screens at the same time, they all get added to the additional window, however these screens can be further put into their own separate window by pressing the middle icon in the white bar across the top of each screen.

 

Happy flying!

 

EDIT:

I managed to forgot to mention *how* to actually pop the displays out, hold your right control key, and then with your mouse cursor click on the screen you want to pop out

Very happy to see this built in.   SimInnovations Air Manager will be coming soon.   

I think you mean the right ALT key, then click the plus sign. 

Just be aware this will impact FPS. If you’re in a tough area for performance you might feel it. It’s only a couple FPS but if you’re in heavy weather in something like the 320 at a big airport and already around a 30 FPS low you’re probably going to drop a solid 2-3 fps. I’m not sure if multiple pop outs increase the performance impact or not.

Hi:  This is my first post.

The only issue I see right now for air manager is that they put the instruments on a separate screen which allows us to view the scenery alone on the primary screen.  The fact that MFS allows the screen pop out is perfect.  But, I haven't yet found a way to get out of the cockpit and only have the scenery.  So that might be an issue for now.

Yes, I can get out with a chase plane and the hud, but that's the best I can do.  If anyone knows how to do scenery only right now, please advise.

All popout windows including the nav map drop me from 60fps to 30fps. Major perf hit for me anyway. 

1-4 popouts combined in a single popout drops to 30. Separate to 2 unique popouts still 30. Separate to 3 drops to 20 something, and then 4 drops to around 12fps. So ya they are really hungry.

Btw.. I am running an i7-9700k @ 4.8ghz, 32gb of DDR4 3200mhz ram and a GTX1080ti watercooled and overclocked. So not a crappy system.
Running all ultra @ 1080p on a single screen and in a GA aircraft outside of a hub area I am getting 50-60fps. Flying a heavy out of Heathrow with traffic and heavy weather 25-30 on the ground and 30-45 in the air. Hope they manage to further optimise performance before PMDG release some products otherwise things will be tricky to run.
Overall performance seems ok for the stock aircraft, but guessing there is room for improvement. Hopefully DX12 will improve things when they add it.
