msmith301 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I have a 50" 2160 4K UHD Tv that I am using as my monitor. Works and looks great especially when using TrackIR. Is there any way I can set up a smaller 19" or 24" monitor on the side that I can use to view the manuals, maps or even Youtube tutorials on at the same time that I'm in flight?

Just set dcs to windowed mode. (Understand badly) Of course you can just plug second monitor to PC and on main you can play dcs and on second you can watch or do what ever you want.

Blech Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Hi, DCS -> Options -> Full Screen disabled Monitor 1 2560 x 1440 Monitor 2 1280 x 1024 for manuals, .... Mehrere Bildschirme -> Several monitors "Diese Anzeige erweitern" -> "Extend this ..." -
msmith301 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 If I understand right you want more windows on same monitor? Just set dcs to windowed mode. (Understand badly) No actually I want to hook up a second smaller monitor to same laptop and have the second monitor sitting off to the side of my larger one for following along with tutorials and reading flight manuals for different planes. Some of these manuals are huge. I don't want to print them and it would be easier to follow along with a smaller monitor on the side. I could always get a large tablet but very expensive and I already have the additional monitors.
Eldur Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 It works, but you'd still need to alt-tab out of DCS in order to scroll through the manuals (could be possible though to write an Autohotkey script that sends inputs like the cursor keys or pgup/pgdn directly to the pdf reader's window without unfocussing DCS), but at least you could leave it open and visible while flying. Also great for TS or Discord windows BTW or servers that have a live map online.
Blech Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 ... I already have the additional monitors. Hi, See my screenshot Both monitors on the same graphic-card Both power on -> Set up your monitors in Windows Mouse right-click on the desktop -> Display settings
