I don't have two montors but I think Fs Manager can help fix that problem.



Just go here: http://www.ranainside.com/software_flightsim_manager.html

This is what I found underneath the picture it part of FSMs description:

If you have access to networked PCs, you can use FSM Lan View feature to create virtual cockpits with as many different views as you like. FSM also make it very easy to control Flight Simulator with speech commands, with additional support for auto-saving flight, warning system, and your own custom event sounds.

Hi guys,

for what it's worth : I can only repeat what an IT-Professional explained to me recently.

If you want to use two monitors, your graphics card must support "dual monitor display" - in other words:
If your card only supports one monitor, than that's all you can use with one computer. The good news is that most of the new graphics cards have dual monitor display support.

The option that JVD is referring to presumes that you have more than one computer - hence the network talk.

In a nutshell : Find out whether your graphics card supports dual monitor display - if it does, you need two monitors and one computer.

It makes sense, doesn't it??

Regards,
Rick Hack
