| Hello, all
I have two monitor configuration in my computer. When I use FS2004, and
undocked all windows, I move one new CABIN view to my second (right) monitor
..... how could I fix, right view in that one and fixed it. ?? I permanently
have to press my joystick botton views to right side, and if I unpressded,
return to normal front view.
Thanks in advance !!

There are better ways I'm sure but what I do is have my second monitor
on the left (or right, doesn't matter)
Get my main monitor showing the instrument panel and forward view.
Open a new window with the [ key
Undock the additional window.
Drag it to the second monitor
Click on the second monitor to make that view active.
--------------- Now there are several ways.
I like to choose the Virtual panel on the second monitor and then I can
move it to show the left forward view and try to get it to align as well
as I can.
or
I sometimes put the second monitor is "Cockpit" mode and using the
keypad to change the view to left or left forward.
You must press the number pad key to the direction of choice,
press and hold the SHIFT key,
take your finger off the keypad key,
Release the SHIFT key
and the second monitor will keep the view you chose.
That is a SIMPLE way to do it.
============================================================
What I would like to know is how people with multiple monitors get the
horizon to remain aligned no matter the bank angle
Someone here showed a 3 monitor setup he created recently using that
free utility (MaxView????) . I'd like to hear more about that setup,
but can't remember who it was. If no one fes's up I guess I'll have to
do some searching.
