Hey guys

Im currently running two monitors on my computer, however I cannot get them both to work in FS2004. My main monitor works fine but the secondary simply shows what it did before I boot the sim. However with FSX I have no issues the dual screen works perfectly.

Is there an option somewhere I am missing or something silly I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Mass

I apologise for asking so many questions here there and everywhere recently, just getting my sim up and running after a number of years. Back to noob status!

So I take it there's no way of doing it without having powerdesk installed? Unfortunately I don't have the money to afford it at the moment. Sad

Hi,
Make sure you can drag any window from one screen to the other before you run fs2004/fs9. Close everything you don't need.

Run fs9 and start a flight, on the drop down menue select windowed mode and make the screen full size.

Press the [ key to open a new view window ( ] key if [ does nothing)

Right click on the top bar of this new window and select undock window.

You can now drag and drop this window onto your other screen and resize it.

When your done with dual screen, close the windows on your second screen and deselect windowed mode.

You don't need anything but windows and fs9 for dual screen.

regards

Steve

So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

No problem, one thing to consider, setting the resolutions: Set resolution via windows desktop properties (screen display properties) in windowed mode fs9 doesn't use the resolution settings in fs9 but the ones set in windows itself.
