2 monitor's win7?

[dgraviett]

I have read these post and tried different setups and I can not get both monitors to work. My main is a 1920*1080 and my second one is on the left 1280*1024. From what I've read it's hard to setup a left screen. So I even moved it to the right. And I still can not get anything to show on my second screen. I've gone into option.lua and tried changed the res., height, width. And it would not let me save it kept telling me... check to see if another application is using this file. I'm wanting the shv, and ABRIS. On my second moniter and Camera on my main. Is there a manual on this crap? I have DCS A-10 and I got it to work a few years ago. But I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.

on the desktop it's easy as pie setting and using a couple of screens up but in 3D applications as far as I know it's very hard, if supported at all, to use only two screens. The very minimum usually is 3 monitors in order to use Nvidia surround or AMD eyefinity. If you just want to monitor instruments though there are softwares that uses a dedicated screen for such monitorings, as I never used any I won't be of much help though.

I have 2 screens on Win7 (mine are one above the other but that shouldn't matter).

 

I installed these files:

(I picked the A-10+KA-50 No cockpit MFD set)

 

Then just defined the positions in my monitor config file. I'll post you that when I get home?
