Overhead panel on second monitor

Featured Replies

Hi guys at PMDG!With the DF737 (and any airplane where it's possible) I always put the overhead panel on my second monitor and keep it visible all the time. If I undock the overhead in the PMDG737 and moves the panel to the second monitor, it leaves a big black hole on the main monitor :)Would it be possible to change that so I can see the main panel and the overhead at the same time but on different monitors? No biggie, just thought I'd ask!/Krister

As far as the view without a panel is concerned, I accidentally discovered that if you select the overhead panel and then put it to another monitor you can get the forward panel back by using Shift + 2.However, you have to be careful about that, apparently it is possible to get two forward panels, if you would use Shift + 3 as well for instance, you will get a new forward panel on top of the other and a lot of malfunctions can occur that way. However, this is the only way I found I can get the overhead on the other monitor.Leo Bakker

FYI: Using a key command to switch panels is not supported, and may have unpredictable effects. This is why there are menus on each screen.Thx,George

Yes, I have had some unpredictable results myself when I had accidentally opened both the normal forward panel and the zoomed version (Shift + 2 AND shift + 3) on my first monitor. But that had nothing to do with the second monitor as such.However, I still haven't heard ANY comment from PMDG how to get the overhead and forward view visible at the same time on two separate monitors any other way!Leo

I use SHIFT-7 to get the overhead panel up on top of the fwd view, then undock the o/h and move it to monitor 2. From that point on, selecting and deselecting the o/h with the PMDG panel switcher will put the o/h panel up on the 2nd monitor where you left it. This technique has not caused me any problems to date.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V
