What should I use a third (smaller) monitor for?

[Quilty]

I currently have the following setup: main 27 inch monitor, a 17 inch touchscreen monitor and Hotas Warthog that I mainly use in A-10C. I also have an additional 17 inch monitor that I'm not sure what to do with. Should I use it to display some information from the game, perhaps using HELIOS? Do you think it would be possible to display my right mfd on it while simultaneously using the touchscreen to display both mfds paired with HELIOS? Could that even work in the lua scripts?

 

Let me know if you have some ideas or a similar setup.:)

You can place the viewports any way you want, given you get to grip with the LUA magic needed. Just to be clear, Helios only provides the touch interface, which is overlaid onto exports of DCS itself. The MFCDs are very nice to have as touch controls. You could also get yourself some Thrustmaster MFCD frames, put them over the 17inch non-touch and use Helios on the touchscreen for everything else. :)

Thank you, that's a good suggestion!
