Issue: I recently switched from FSX to P3D. So far I love it. Graphics are way better, better optimization of resources in new systems, my FPS don't drop from 30-35 and compared to FSX it shows how well optimized the game is in comparisson and I know they will introduce to even more optimizations (better SLI, Xfire, multi-cores, etc)
Now, I've been struggling with my multi-monitor configuration.
I used to run Surround for the three large screens (5760x1080) and then extend the little screen and FSX would allow me to create a new view and drag it to the small screen. In that way, I would use the three screens for scenery only and the little screen for instruments. It worked beautifully.
Now with Prepa3d I can't get it to work that way.
P3D won't let me drag a new window to the smaller screen in either full screen mode nor windowed.
I tried with and without surround also.
I'm building a Panel for a C172 and I really want to use my 4th 16" screen instead of the saitek gages or an iPad tablet to display gages as I already have the perfect small screen to be in the panel.
Anyone knows what's the best way to do this 3 + 1 setup?
I wouldn't mind buying a second 670 if I need to but I need/want to make this work.
Right now all my screen are happily connected to my 670 and I have no problems running it that way. The card seems to support the monitors quite well
The 670 runs pretty much flawlessly with P3D
