just foundout how good the multi-monitor setup is in Xplane, it has lots of ways to confugure it, xplane is truly the best

[SlugSponge]

you can have them both side by side, or as a lefy or right window, I only have two video outputs, but xplane allows 3 , you can add a graphics card for 3 monitors, its a wopper of a good time

Would there happen to be a tutorial as to how you can set them up? I tried fiddling with it and I just got confused

I have two monitors, front is panel, left side is left window. There is a very good tutorial in the XP instructions.

I'd love to use my two monitors but XP just dumps in FPS when i do.

Did you turn the setting down to start and work your way up? I have 4gb VGA, 12gb RAM and I quad core i7 and can run 30 fps most time with the high settings. Clouds really impact FPS so maybe fly in the clear.

I have tried with the lowest settings and it still hurts. It could be that my pc can't handle it. But its no biggie.

all you do is when your acrualy flying in a plane, move mouse to top right where you will see a button that looks like 3 sliders, then set the monitors as you want and experiment back and fourth, this way you dont have to keep starting xplane.

as an example of its use, you can set it to look above you in a boeing to see the panel, or you can look through a window, ive goy it looking through the left window

[SlugSponge]

you can angle it , its not just rightangles, you can set firld of view, you can look in any direction, you can have it as a checklist monitor, or have a youtube tutorial runng

OK! I am usuing two TVs as the cockpit, I bought an adapter from amazon to convert my DVD-D plug to a VGA, so now i can connect to the old TV, then i plugged my HDMI cable in the other. I rightclicked to desktop to set main monitor and res etc... I then went into xplane and started a flight, I then clicked the top right hand slider button to acess the monitor setup in xplane, I set both as side by side, the TVs were differrent sizes but xplane had offsets to correct this, I put the TVs into a 90 degree angle BUT i still had them set in xplane as side by side, this allows me to make best use of my small room.

I first used a TV and a small monitor and it was great, but after i saw i had a big TV i set about doing all the above. AND MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING I EVER SAW. its like being in a real plane.

I had problems setting up, but you follow your nose and all will work, but XPLANE has some great tools to setup as you want. This is a best feature in a flight sim, if any other flight sims dont have it dont buy them. and after you see all the things you can do with two monitors in xplane you will be shocked how good this is.

If you ever saw a DIY cockpit made by a hobbiest well this is just as good, go do it now

also unexpected was having the settings set to sisde by side monitor but putting the at 90 degrees goves a 3D feeling, its scary how hood this is

Its good for now but the new sim 2020 may put Xplane to shame.

I think FSX is a Console and PC release, I think they will have the Wow factor for graphics, but a console game will likley be dumbed down, if you want a real sim stick with this

[SlugSponge]

you need to put the smaller tvs at the central point of the biger tvs

Burned all brain power on learning how to properly use fmc on study level planes lol I have three monitors but have yet to set them up I originally used them for ATS and ETS2 good to know it works well tho
