MULTI SCREEN SETUP NOT BEING SAVED

[dodiano]

Hi,

Small question which has been a headache for me all day long... I have set a small 2 screen setup.. Using one Video Card with Dual outputs! The setup is one small screen for the Flight instruments and the second view displays the Outside view to a Overhead Projector... Now I set my screens resize them and then save the Flight but when I Re-start the sim and load the flight again the screens are not in the saved position but the way they originally appeared... Any suggestions?

Regards,

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

Is this in a windowed mode or full screen ?

If in a window mode, the two windows must be undocked, you can put them anywhere you would like and then by saving the flight they should stay in these places when re enter.

If in a full screen mode, the instruments and the external view must not be undocked before saving.

Thanks for that Tip will try that and let you know! I think I had it in Full Screen mode!

Thanks.,

I've never had much luck getting either FSX or Fs9 to remember panel placements. I am now using a program called "Panel Position" and it works perfectly. I am using multiple monitors (4) You can get the program here http://www.casawave.fr/upload/fsx/Panel_Position.zip

Hi Roberto,

I know what you are talking about

I have the same issues with the full screen setup. On the other hand a fellow builder here in Athens with an i7 win7 PC has no issues with it. My dual core PC cannot save in full screen though...

I really do not know if it is a matter of PC configuration at all, but nevertheless I use window mode, and it works for me

Yeah my guess is that Windows mode will have to make the cut for the project LOL!!! Now I am having trouble with my brand new Matrox Triplehead2go LOL!! Apparenttly my cables is the problem just spent like $50 on cables and they don't work LOL!! Anyways... Thanks for the help!!

Now couple of things my Matro TripleHead2go is working but when I save the flight in Undocked mode the stupid outside view is only placed on the Left screen and it is not spread to the other 2? Any ideas why? Or how to fix it so that when I open up it appears on all 3 screens?

Thanks

Please try the following... try to save the flight as a default one in FS (check the box "make this default flight") and tell me if this worked
