FSX GTX590 Windows 7 Multiple Monitors
rss334 replied to rss334's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcThanks for the continued help guys. Still a huge disappointment you can't span 2 monitors with this card/operating system. Not just FSX but games like DCS10C or racing games too :(

FSX GTX590 Windows 7 Multiple Monitors
rss334 replied to rss334's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcThanks, yes I don't have a span option, everything I could find said Windows 7 and Nvidia removed it. I guess the home cockpit is out of the question now, kind of a disappointment. Wanted to test the dual monitor (FPS) thing before I go all out buying more monitors and hardware :( Thanks for the info.

- FSX GTX590 Windows 7 Multiple Monitors
rss334 replied to rss334's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcOK, not much of a setup at the moment though, just the monitors and a saitek x52 for the controller. My hope here is to figure out how to span FSX on 2 monitors so I can upgrade to 4 28" monitors and start to build a cockpit shell and supporting hardware for a home cockpit. Not getting off to a very good start though- FSX GTX590 Windows 7 Multiple Monitors
Trying to span my main window on FSX across to 28" monitors. Although in Windows mode I can drag the window across both monitors - the right monitor goes black except for the FSX window outline while main the FSX picture snaps back to the left monitor, so it's not spanning both monitors - the FSX window frame does span both but not the main display. Again the right frame goes black. Here is what "I think" I know.1) Windows 7 and Nvidia don't support spanning2) The GTX590 does support spanning, but how I don't know?3) Tried every setting I can think of in windows displays and nvidia display (both sli mode and single GPU mode)4) Downloaded ultramon and although it spans the desktop, does not work with FSX5) Tried windows mode and undock, yes I can open 2 views but can not span one view across both monitors6) Don't want to buy a Matrox triplehead and this is one reason I shelled the money on the GTX590 hoping to get my FSX display count up to 4.7) Can find any options about spanning or 2d surrond gaming in the nvidia control panel.So what's the trick? Any step by step instructions to span the main FSX window across two monitors would be appreciated. My head hurts from banging it on the desk after hours upon hours of searching the internet and not finding a valid answer.Any help would be appreciated.
