Well, I have 2 monitors however in my Screen Resolution page I have my Mutiple Displays set to: Extend these displays.
I have a Dell 1280 x 1024 (secondary) and Samsung 2048 x 1152 (primary) screen, I have the Samsung set for my main display (primary) and I use the Dell for internet and flight software and stuff.

when you said, "my screen resolution page" what are you talking about in windows or in game? but anyways in windows it work well , but in game it get confused and the game runs in the middle of the 2 monitors, and it looks bad; if there was a way to do it in game it may work

If you have an Nvidia graphics card, you can get Nvidia inspector and set it to dual screen performance mode, or there are tons of addons out there.

Try toggling window mode - SHFT + ENTER, I believe it is.

I'd love to have dual screen with gps radio stack etc. on the second screen but actually flying on the first, is that possible?

Yes it is. I have my main monitor for just flying and all my instruments are on a smaller secondary 19" asus widescreen. I just use default Nvidia control panel set to dual screen performance mode.

OK cool thanks for that, i assumed that dual screen would just split the flying viewport in half.

Dual monitors work great, I would not want to fly without at least 2. I also have another computer with 2 more monitors. I access everything with one mouse/keyboard using a program called ShareMouse. The only thing I am not 100% crazy about is that I have to run FSX in window mode. I have gotten used to it now and the ability to have access to everything while flying is fantastic.

OK, so i got dual monitor going with ATC and radio stack etc on second screen, one problem though. The screen resolution is quite low and I don't know how to fix. Native res is 1920x1080 but its displaying much lower than that. Help anyone?

i guess you can see what i'm talking about it , it looks crappy; and in my case it looks like it think my 2 monitors are 1(extend) one large desktop; and i only wanna used one.
