With p3d i had 2 monitors, one showing virtual cockpit (move around with mouse) and the 2nd monitor (above) gave me a fixed, outside frontal view.

when moving with mouse, i could look around in the virtual cockpit and the outside view remained fixed, as it should be.

Now i switched to Xpl12, very nice,i love it, but i cannot set my 2nd monitor with fixed outside view, it moves around with the cockpit.

Any advice how to reach the same behaviour as p3d views ?

I don't think that's possible natively with X-Plane unless you use two different PCs networked. The best you could do is popout whatever panels that can be popped out and move those to the 2nd monitor. For example, you could popout the two G1000 displays on the SR22 but the rest of the instrument panel would not be available.

You could achieve the same thing using 3rd-party software to recreate the cockpit panel (e.g. Air Manager) but that would require extra work.

Have you tried using two computers. One computer runs the 3D flight deck and the second computer runs the external view.

Thx guys, maybe with airmanager, sure it would work with a 2nd PC, but are they any discounts or do i have to buy a 100% priced extra XPL12 license ?

This doesn't answer your query, but you could set up a series of quick views (I use X Camera for this) and quickly move visually to eg the G540 or the right G1000 screen in a Cessna 172, or the overhead panel of the CDU in the Zibo. I also have a yoke / joystick button / keyboard key mapped to return to the straight ahead view.

Having multiple views is certainly a missing feature in X-Plane.

I liked it in FS4 🙂
