2 monitors

[Deadman]

I currently have 2 monitors connected to my pic. A 22" & a 24". Unfortunately the 24" is 16:10 & the 22" is 16:9 so the resolutions do t match.

Ideally I would like to run the 24" as the main viewing window and move all the info screens over to the second smaller 22". But I don't seem able to move the info windows of the main monitor.

So I thought about running in windowed mode and stretching the main playing screen across both monitors.

Does anybody else run 2 monitors?
Any advice?
Thanks

I tried with a similar setup as yours. It did'nt work.

I use my second (and sometimes third) monitor for various game-related spreadsheets (for calculating desired number of vehicles on the line, train weight, etc).

I have a cargo spreadsheet i.e. How much needs to be delivered.
How does the train weight sheet work?
Also do you have a sheet for working out what passenger transport is needed. I.e. Do I need to put on more buses or trains or increase frequency or increase size?

There is so much to this game I love it my wife thinks I am addicted!! LOL she might be right

The "main viewing window" is all there is. Everything happens within it, such as the creation of info windows. That said, I don't see why you can't be in Windows mode, stretch the main window onto your secondary monitor. The entire play screen will span the two monitor, but center your play on your primary monitor. Drag the info windows into the play area that's on your secondary monitor. Some things will definitely be imperfect. If you center your view on anything, it's going to show up between the monitors. But to do this, you'll have to accept some compromises.
