FIX: Dual monitor set up

Post by Hawes » Thu Mar 06, 2014 4:22 pm

Hey,

Can anyone direct me to or tell me how I can get flight instruments on a second screen. I saw a thread once somewhere but haven't found it again.....

Plus, does anyone use it themselves, any photos????

Holy f**k.......It works!!!!!!
I didn't realise there was more than 1 page when I first looked but it works by jove. SOOOO easy to set up.

download VC
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eczwm9lwvkpmv ... -02-23.ZIP
Download Hurri and Blennie cockpits (it comes with the Spit)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sbgucsn5mbr4ywb/Hurricane.rar
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ebz0eo2usupe5 ... mIV-v1.rar
Make sure you're in the game cockpit and start up VC. select your monitor and cockpit profile and start up flying.

I can see the compass; 615 ain't getting lost anymore (not that we ever did ;) )

I'll post pics of my new set up soon....Thank you guys for the swift responses and help.
