There have been several members asking about getting sub panels to "Stick" when using two monitors in FSX. I have two monitors but normally use only one for FSX. However, I played a hunch that I have now proven to work for me. It is a direct steal of the methodology I used for FS9 but I have tried it and it works for my FSX installation at least.Before I start I had better set the record straight regarding my Graphics setup I have two Nvidia 7800 GTX cards with a monitor plugged into each one. (I normally use them in SLIAA16 mode which is the reason that I don't normally use two monitors for FSX.)OK now to the methodology:Fire up FSX and select the aircraft you want to play with. Go into WINDOWS mode (very important). Now open each of the ancilliary panels that you want on the other monitor (one at a time). When you have a candidate panel displayed on the screen right click and "Undock" the window. Then move it to the other monitor and resize and place according to your needs. Repeat this with every other panel that you want to display on the second monitor.When you have all the panels to your liking and whilst still in WINDOWS mode save the flight. Now switch to full screen mode and the windows should appear on your second monitor, move and reshape them if necessary. This is advantageoues because you no longer have title bars taking up second monitor real estate.Now "GO BACK TO WINDOWS MODE" very important.Now re save the flight. Turn off FSX and restart fSX and load the flight you just saved. You should load up in Windows mode with the sub panels on the second monitor. Go to Full screen mode and "Voila!" your sub panels should still be on the second monitor as you left them.Always save your flights in Windows mode with the sub panels showing. As it is no big deal swapping from windows mode to full screen it is a small price to pay for the outcome.I see no reason that this method should not work using other graphics setups as it is not graphics card related but just getting FSX to remember where the panels were.If there are any that cannot get this to work all I can say that since FS9 and now in FSX it has worked for me.:)

Thanks for the idea jack, I'll give it a try. When I first got FS9, I used your method but that was a long time ago and I had forgotten this, "trick." I'll let you know how it works with my ATI card. R-

I stay in Windowed Mode and put my secondary windows on the second monitor and save the flight. In FS9 this has always worked fine. In FSX, all the secondary windows load on the second monitor, but they load in the top left of the monitor over top of each other - not where I saved them.1 ATI Radeon X850XT PE

Odaat,Your problem may be may be an ATI driver twitch. As I have never owned an ATI card I cannot help. My best guess is that FSX is saving the windows positions OK but the original driver mapping is no longer valid for the current session. Perhaps the ATI drivers you are using are remapping the screens differently every time you fire up hence the sub panels are trying to go to their saved positions but can't. I had similar issues with the odd Nvidia driver release during the active life of FS9.John
