August 11, 20205 yr Has anyone seen any coverage on YouTube or any commentary around multi-display support? Particularly, anything related to having instruments on one display and your view on another?

August 11, 20205 yr You can indeed stretch the main display across several monitors (in windowed mode). But you can't currently detach a cockpit instrument panel and place it on a separate monitor in the way you're asking. Nor can you create two separate views on two separate monitors, such as a cockpit view and an external view. I'm sure this capability will arrive shortly however. You can, however, detach and place on a separate monitor some of the panels such as ATC, Camera control, Weather control, etc. Processor: Intel i9-13900KF 5.8GHz 24-Core, Graphics Processor: Nvidia RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6, System Memory: 64GB High Performance DDR5 SDRAM 5600MHz, Operating System: Windows 11 Home Edition, Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX, LGA 1700, CPU Cooling: Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling, RGB and LCD Display, Chassis Fans: Corsair Low Decibel, Addressable RGB Fans, Power Supply: Corsair HX1000i Fully Modular Ultra-Low-Noise Platinum ATX 1000 Watt, Primary Storage: 2TB Samsung Gen 4 NVMe SSD, Secondary Storage: 1TB Samsung Gen 4 NVMe SSD, VR Headset: Meta Quest 2, Primary Display: SONY 4K Bravia 75-inch, 2nd Display: SONY 4K Bravia 43-inch, 3rd Display: Vizio 28-inch, 1920x1080.

August 12, 20205 yr Author Thanks. Hopefully Air Manager will be supported which will open up some great options by the looks of it.
August 12, 20205 yr I installed a second monitor just for MSFS2020 in mind and have yet to see a youtuber with dual monitors flying the new sim... I would love to know if you are able to move the map display to the other screen like in X-Plane 11.

If, by "map display" you mean the VFR Map (that you get with the "V" key), then that should be possible. Just click on the "full-screen" icon (the square with an arrow pointing out), and it will then convert it into a floating panel that you can move to a second monitor.
August 23, 20205 yr BREAKING NEWS: There is indeed a way to detach cockpit instruments and move them to a second monitor. Hold down the RIGHT ALT key and hover your mouse over the GPS or other instruments. A plus sign (+) will appear. Click it. This group of instruments will then pop up in a window of their own that you can move to a second monitor. There appears to be little or no loss in FPS by using this technique. This doesn't work for all instruments in all planes. But I was stunned when I learned this trick yesterday.

August 24, 20205 yr Excellent David and Kronzky! Thanks for the tip (should be pinned to tips and tricks), works just fine, wx,atc,vfr map,camera, all moved to 2nd monitor and out of my way. I have my fps locked at 32 and the move only cost me 1 fps. Speaking of locked fps, I adjusted within the sim from 60 to 30 but the sim locked it at 20. Had to go into the Nvidia control panel and invoke the 32 fps lock there and that accomplished the lock at proper rate. I think that lock issue has been reported, maybe I will add fuel to the fire. i7-6700 32gb GTX 1070 8GB 4 monitors Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700KF CPU @ 4.90GHz 32.0 GB RAM Windows 11 Home NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti 12GB Multi monitors WD SN850 M2 2TB PSU 1000W. 360 AIO.cooling.
August 24, 20205 yr In the case of Gauges, such as the G1000 to Be clear, they are just the displays and not the actual Gauge.
