I'm set up now with dual 22" lcd screens via Matrox Dualhead2go. Flying is quite a joy but the screen bezel will take some getting used to. (I have the bezels shiplapped so I only see one). My intention was to center the bezel on the windshield when in VC, except now I am viewing at a right angle. I'd like to feel more like I'm looking forward on my left screen and from the left seat. Any suggestions on how to adjust the view?
Also I have Matrox hotkey to restore saved display set up, but I don't see a hotkey choice to unrestore the saved resolutions. Any help (or advice) would be appreciated, thanks..

FSX/Accel.

Now I'm thinking TrackiR would solve the view obstruction. (Get around it)

Next thing you know I'll need some sort of hat to clip the sensors on. Cool

I tried to get you to do a SimV cap. Roll Eyes

As to your first post, I don't understand half of what you said. I have two monitors, but I use the second to display FSWidgets map while I fly, or sometimes a manual so I can start the darn thing in the first place; or a web

page to look up a location on Google Maps so I can navigate to it, etc. I have no idea what-so-ever as to how to get a second view on my second monitor, but I do have TrackIR, and plenty of caps, just not one with

Simviation on it. Sad

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I've been busy playing with some new toys! Caps coming soon, just have to clear it with Pete and get one first so I can check it out. Wink

I'm trying to to fly mostly in VC view with the panel stretched across two screens. MS Windows can set that up for you in the control panel or your vid card software, I chose to go with Matrox..there's not a wealth of info that covers my questions on the net.
