Verschillende monitors in P3DV5

Post by Piet Keppens »

Hallo
Is het mogelijk om met P3DV5 te werken met verschillende monitors.
Een wide view monitor 49 inch voor de outside view en 2 monitors waar ik de instrumenten kan plaatsen.
Op deze wijze kan ik een eenvoudige home cockpit maken.

Vriendelijke groeten

Piet,

I do not have multiple monitors myself, but (with my very limited Dutch) I believe that what you want is possible.

Please repeat your question here in English, and someone should be able to help you.

Piet;
I use an LG 48" monitor for my main virtual cockpit view and only one smaller monitor for FMC, EFIS, MCP depending upon which aircraft I am using. I run P3Dv5.3 using a 3080 TI to run both monitors. Good luck with your project!

Right-click within the main Prepar3D window and select View Groups->Auto-fill Desktop. This will create a separate Prepar3D window per monitor to display the multi-monitor view. Press Alt+Enter to get rid of the borders and enter full screen mode

Hi guys,

Max, can I ask how you display the instruments? I am sorting out a similar setup at our air cadet unit, I have the main display working across three projectors, but can't seem to undock the efis, mfd's or other instruments to put them on the cockpit monitor?

Regards
Les
