March 16, 20233 yr I purchased '2020' on 27 Dec 2020 but gave up shortly after due the number of 'glitches' etc, etc. With the growing popularity of '2020' I have now reinstalled the Sim, very impressed with the overall scenery and (now) functionality. Through FS2000 - FSX and (currently) P3D5 I have become accustomed to my home cockpit set-up which for '2020' now raises a big question: Are multi-screens available within '2020'? In the previous Sims I made use of 3-screens together with a suite of 9 GoFlight modules; Yoke, TQ, pedals and was completely Mouse Free 😎. I use screen-1 (19") for 2D panel (own creations); screen-2 (40") for outside views/scenery; screen-3 (19") for Little Nav Map. So the BIG question is: can the cockpit/panel be ported out to 19" and leave the 40" free for overall scenery depiction? I appreciate that only 3-D cockpits are available in 2020. I appear to have hit a brick wall here - am I missing something or is this facility just NOT available in '2020'? Ken 😉 Old enough to know better... ...young enough to do most of it again!

Ken 😉 If you're asking whether you can currently display two completely independent windows within MSFS, the answer is no. However, you can indeed display two or more windows that are linked. For example, I'll sometimes display the cockpit on my primary display. On this display, I can clearly see all the instruments and a forward view of the runway or sky if I'm airborne. Then, on a separate monitor, I'll display the scenery view out of the left side or right side cockpit window. This is possible in MSFS because this side-window view is pegged to the primary display but is rotated either 90 degrees (right side view) or 270 degrees (left side view). I know this isn't exactly what you had in mind, but it's a round-about way of essentially doing the same thing through the Experimental options within MSFS. Whenever I use this setup, I'll use a 4K primary display but set my secondary scenery (side window) display to standard 1920 x 1080. Performance on both displays is excellent. Let me add, however, that I do have a 4090. I'll often run LittleNavMap on a third display, but this has no appreciable effect at all on sim performance.
