I fully agree with you here, and I was stunned that there were no instructions in the GUI manual (seems like the perfect place for them; GRAPHICS USER INTERFACE) for multi-display set-ups. If there were, I sure missed them.:huh: By the way, no one ever called me an OP before. Should I be insulted or complimented?

Thanks for the reply, I was worried it might be complex. A.) NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT- 512 MB and B.) Both are Dell Flat-screens, this main one is HD with resolution at 1400x900, the other is 1280x1024 (though I could change/lower the 2nd if need be) The big thing for me is the type of setup that is allowed. Are the only things on the 2nd monitor allowed to be ABRIS/SHKVAL or extended cockpit? Can you have the 2nd monitor be setup to simply display you're control panels, such as if you just look down to the point where you no longer can see the HUD/outside? Does the 1st monitor HAVE to stay with the interior cockpit view? I definitely want to be able to switch to outside views, so if it must slave to cockpit view, I think I won't even try. Thanks for the help, any answers or ideas are well appreciated (and again, is there any official documentation for this, or is it all fly-by-the-wire gamer-to-gamer-help setup?).

Darn, went to bed last night hoping and woke up with 0 for 3 on answers to my questions. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this thing working? I do have many skins in the game, I would like to see them if possible.

I do thank both of you for the effort, but that is exactly what I was not looking for. I'm having trouble believing there are NO instructions about how to use this. That particular thread is 21 pages long, and I read a lot of it yesterday, but no where does it say: You have choice A, you must do this; You have choice B, you must do this, etc., etc. In other words, I don't want a forum thread of people asking all kinds of different questions and others answering them. I would like to find where the official instructions are. One of the main reasons for this is, every single picture on that thread shows a cockpit and a 2nd monitor with something displayed. That is not what I want and I found it odd that in 21 pages, there was never a single screenshot of any view but cockpit and a 2nd monitor. What I would like to have is a 2nd monitor that shows my cockpit panel, same view as "snap down," and then my main monitor I can jump around in views. I like to look from outside views at times, chase view, airport view, etc. Can this be done while keeping the 2nd monitor on my instruments? Must the main view be a cockpit view (every picture, yes, everyone that has DCS: Black Shark from the highlighted thread, had a cockpit view)? This leads me to believe it must be the only way to do it, in which case I do not want to have it. I do not have complete, solid information, therefore the question about OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS on the use of multiple monitors (not forum member ideas and possible solutions [...to a multitude of different questions, I might add]). There also was no need for the search function comment. I know it is there, it did not provide what I needed, ergo I made a new thread asking for the answers I seek. I thought I read something really early on about how these setups could go, but cannot find it now. Does it exist? Am I remembering incorrectly? Again, thanks to the two above, I do appreciate the effort. It just did not supply the answer I would like.

I just realized I have another monitor that I could use to set up multi-monitor functions for the game. I can't find any where that explains the options, though. The FAQ has one statement about changing the main/skhval view, and there are threads with screenshots but I am interested in finding the instructions and options that you can do. I looked in all 3 of the manuals, but I am still not finding them. I would love to have one monitor stay on the control panels, while I flip around to different views on the main one. Any idea if this is possible, and please (please, please!), someone point me to the guide/instructions on this. Thanks in advance!!!

Mine won't work at all, tells me the *.dll is missing and will be made upon closing, then it says there is an error and closes with an error box, creating nothing. I want to see the models from the game.

I'm pretty sure I've installed the "Mitch" skins properly; my helicopter in-game is a new skin How do I change to use the ones I want in-game? In other words, how can I pick which skin will be on my helicopter of all the excellent ones included?

Mine comes in as 4.61-size/4.64 "on-disk". I also have some extra missions added (about 10 of them) and some extra skins (the mitch pack). Well worth the space, I'll say that!

I would love to know this as well. Although I like the angle, I wish the default was the same one as in the "Shift + F4" view. The "Shift + F4" is great, but you can't use view to spin around your Ka-50, it moves from a fixed point behind the helicopter. I enjoy both views as they are now, but given a choice I would have "F4" default right behind the helicopter.

You said it all "Useless Starforce discussion." If it has Starforce and you don't like it, don't buy it. Quite simple really, and hearing people whine on and on (and on and on and on) about it is frustrating and pointless. Great game; if Starforce scares you, you've missed out on a tremendous game.

Very odd, but I was able to download your single Flank Guard mission, and from there I used the scroll on the right of the screen to get to Red Snow. Then, it did download, but couldn't do it from original link. From what I've read about them, they look great. THANKS!!! (I especially liked that "part of the bigger picture" statement, they sound like fun missions). I am still learning how to fly, hover, take off calmly, using ABRIS, etc. As soon as I get up to weapons ability, these will be the first ones I try!

I click download, nothing happens, and the screen says done at the bottom. I would love to try there out. Any ideas? Can you just put it here? It would be so much easier and sounds like a cool mission. Where you have the thumbnail is where I have seen most missions posted.

I think if they ever did research on this (they being game makers in general), it would be an overwhelming response that would completely agree with the above and for the same reasons. That is exactly how I feel, I could not have said it better. The only thing I would've added is: I can actually read it while the game is running, which is something I can't do now!

WHERE?!? :cry:
